    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Took delivery yesterday. There were definitely some panel alignment problems with one of the doors and one of the handles is sunken in, but otherwise, it's fantastic. I drove like grandma during my test drive a couple of years ago, but finally got to punch it while driving it home. Wow...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My delivery window is scheduled for tomorrow (I was hoping I could get it a day or 2 early so I'd get some weekend time with it, but no such luck), and wow, I knew Texas law did weird things with the purchasing model here, but I didn't realize how much it would feel like a drug deal. In the...

    I hear you! I'm excited for the first time ever to clear a spot in the garage! 🤣

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I keep thinking I should have gone red. I liked the blue with the chrome, but not as much with black. Red and black looks pretty slick, though. Then again, if I had chosen red, I'd probably still be waiting for a VIN! I feel for you folks and hope the come through for you soon!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It did allow me to schedule an appoint a little while ago, so I did (Monday was the soonest), but I also called, since I had another question. The local service number for that site apparently routes to central, so it took 30 minutes to get through, unfortunately, but they were able to confirm...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Well, after getting "There are currently no appointments available" trying to schedule a delivery appointment all yesterday and today, I got a "reminder" text from Tesla to schedule my delivery appointment"! LOL. I'm trying!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Already got a NEMA 14-50 outlet installed for my travel charger. I might have gone full wall charger if I weren't planning to sell the house in a few years.

    I'm just sharing my status. Honestly, I'd be ecstatic if you miraculously got yours today!

    I just got my Congratulations email to set up my delivery appointment! ...and when I went to the provided URL, I get this: yay.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I was told just yesterday when I called to ask about my car that, at least in Texas, they need 2 days from when they get the proof of insurance with the Tesla VIN in order to get the temporary tags in time that are required to drive it off the lot.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I checked with one of the places here that got a lot of positive Tesla owner reviews, and the soonest slot they had was late July. I don't know what times are like elsewhere, of course. You may want to at least query them to see, IMO.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    The saga continues. The second packet apparently didn't get sent on Friday, so I still have no trade in paperwork. Sigh.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yeah, I got the 14-50 adapter, another mobile charger, and something else. It went out in 3 different shipments - the other item the next day, the adapter the second day, and the charger a week later. Just FWIW.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I got my VIN on Jun 1, and the next day I got a text that they were overnighting paperwork via FedEx for the trade in to sign, scan and email for review, then return back to them. It got to Memphis, TN where it was stuck from 12:30am to 5:30pm yesterday. It then arrived in town an hour and a...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm fairly certain location is a primary factor. Logistics says you lose less money if you transport more at once, so it ships when enough orders are filled by location. That's my guess, anyways. After looking at some of the orders here, I wonder if faulty manufacturing causes the order to...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I already reported that I got my VIN a few days ago, but it was 2 weeks out at the time (June 14 - June 19). It's since shifted left, so the front end is within a week! Now June 09 - June 15! Woohoo! I REALLY need to finish cleaning up the garage!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Just got the Tesla Vision acknowledgement and then a VIN!! Estimated Delivery Date is June 14 - June 19!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm *HOPING* he was either tired of answering "when is it getting here" questions and just gave a really late date, or he's trying to set a bad expectation so when it gets here earlier, it seems more impressive (aka the "Scotty Factor" - https://wiki.c2.com/?ScottyFactor). Of course, I'm also...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm guessing we'll get ours the same day. I think we ordered the same day, and you're just an hour down the road from here. My dates have been right shifting little by little and are currently June 13 - June 30. Best of luck on your delivery! 😁

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Got another slight right shift today. My first window was Jun 14-30, moved up to June 9-24, now showing June 11-30. I was hoping for more left shift so I could take it out of town next weekend, but I know that was overly optimistic. I'll keep being patient and try not to buy *ALL* the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It is possible to get a hit that is not a VIN, but it's very unlikely. The page source includes a lot of things, some of which are random tokens generated for that specific session.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    How exciting to see so many folks getting VINs! My order date was a little later, but I checked again this morning and found a significant left shift as well! It's now showing June 09 - June 24 (was previously June 18 - June 30)! Looks like they got past whatever was holding them up! I'm...

    Many places call that 'hazing'.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm hoping it stays that way after you get the EDD back, and that they do follow a semi-reasonable pattern. I live 3 hours away from you and ordered the same car 6 days before you, so I would *expect* to get mine before you? I have no EDD at all, not even a 5-11 weeks after order date, currently.

    I finally found roof shades that for M3 2021!

    Huh. I just realized the link no longer goes to the 2021 version. It was supposed to be "TOPlight Automotive Sun Protection Sunshades for Tesla Model 3,Model 3 Glass Roof Sunshade Sunroof Rear Window Sunshade Compatible (2021 Version)"

    I finally found roof shades that for M3 2021!

    I ordered this, but I'm still waiting for the car to confirm the fit. Amazon.com: TOPlight Automotive Sun Protection Sunshades for Tesla Model 3,Model 3 Glass Roof Sunshade Sunroof Rear Window Sunshade Compatible (Until 2020 Version): Automotive

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    FWIW: While my estimated date jumps around a bit, it mostly fluctuates between Jun 18-30 and 5-11 weeks from order placed date.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm definitely disappointed in the removal of radar. I think it's good to have a backup method in case the first is rendered unusable. It may not be used almost all of the time, but it's good to have for certain situations like topping a hill and being blinded by sunlight on the horizon (I...

    Why is GPS Lady Yelling at Me?

    I call the GPS voice in my Prius C "Veera", as it's reminiscent of how I have to drive in order to follow their directions.

    Test drive or not?

    I took a test drive around 2 years ago and then spent all my time since then wondering if I could afford it, since I've always been very utilitarian in my vehicle choices. My wife had taken a Model S performance test drive (without me, darn it!), so she was already on board. I finally felt...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yeah, it did get removed and then reappear once already for me. That really worried me for a while! It was me searching for whether I needed to provide the insurance information for my current vs. Tesla VIN policy that caused me to find this forum! I was worried it was pending delivery date...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Austin here. First time buyer. Blue LR M3, Aero wheels, black interior. Ordered 5-12-21, currently showing June 17 - June 30 delivery. Waiting is definitely the hardest part of the whole process, isn't it?
