    phantom braking. Are you still experiencing it with latest software update?

    Had a weird phantom braking incident this morning on my commute. I was going 80mph in the fast lane at 4:00am on a long straightaway with no turns in site. The only cars were in the #2 and #3 lanes. The car in the #2 lane merged into my lane about 200 yards in front of me and my car suddenly...

    phantom braking. Are you still experiencing it with latest software update?

    Was driving about 70mph on the freeway on Sunday with no cars around me with cruise control on when all of a sudden the car slammed on the brakes to the point you could hear the tires squealing on the pavement... while I was able to recover, I'm not sure if my wife will ever let me use cruise...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    I think it depends on the SC you're going to. Mine had just opened and didn't have any loaner cars available. They only had one Model 3 and a Model Y for test drives! They did hook me up with $200 in Uber credit, which was nice, but with the world trying to come back to normal, the nearest...

    Model 3 seat upgrade?

    I had a Lexus with ventilated seats that I thought I'd miss as well, but the ability to pre-cool the car down does an even better job than the ventilated seats ever did with my Lexus! Of course, I had a model year that was known to have lousy ventilated seats, which didn't do a whole lot for...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    So, as I was putting on some ceramic coat on my car today, I noticed another spot that wasn’t properly attached/finished on delivery. On the air intake on the very front end, the black plastic and white car color don’t match up, with a large gap and obvious white plastic clips that should...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    I have been told that the frunk piece has been reattached, but will find out when I pick it up in a few hours. I was wondering how they’d address the roof glass, but didn’t think they’d just say it was within spec, but ¯\_(ツ)_/¯… On the bubbled up trim piece - the invoice said, “Properly Re...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Well, my car spent the day at the SC. Just got a notification that the car is done but I can’t pick it up until tomorrow morning. I looked at the invoice, and, what do you know? The roof glass is all within spec. The passenger door gap is within spec. The only things that they fixed were the doo...

    Model 3 long range acceleration boost [rumors?]

    If they did offer a discount or a bigger boost to performance, would be nice if they made it retroactive for those of us who made the $2k plunge to get that extra juice!

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Yea - as @holeydonut said, for spending close to $60k on a car, we should all expect these to be flawless. I’m fine with a couple hiccups coming out of the factory, but for a car I’ve been waiting for years and years to finally arrive in my driveway with these issues, I’m really bummed. Don’t...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Yea, the entire left side is much wider on one side than the other, and then the pic I included was where the front and rear glass meet, showing those aren’t even lined up.

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Thanks so much for the awesome response! As much as I love the car, these things are really bothersome, so really hope they are able to take care of me. When I was waiting for delivery, it was delayed and one of the SA’s I talked to read the notes and said it was out for “service repairs,” so...

    Delivery / Service Issues (panel gaps, delivery delays / issues / Service problems etc)

    Any thoughts on this? Here’s my issues found upon delivery… car was dropped off in my driveway while I was away and didn’t get to inspect it until the next day. Originally scheduled a mobile service until they saw the issues and then it got changed to me needing to take the car to the SC...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Finally got home to officially meet my car! Initial walk around found rear driver side door handle sunken in a little bit. After more thorough inspection, found a trim piece the hinge of the frunk was not connected to anything, the roof glass isn’t lined evenly from the driver and passenger...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Remember to keep looking at the existing inventory page for one that matches your specs. That’s how I got mine, even though I was most likely going to get my VIN within the next couple of days. Just make sure it’s a new one and not a demo car. The last couple of weeks of the quarter, the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yep. Fortunately you can buy them on Amazon for right around $20 out the door. Tesla also sells the one-piece hub cap kit for $60. As my wife has said a few times… “so you buy a $60k car so you can get nickel and dimed for accessories that should have been included?” Yep!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thanks! So pumped! But, I was right about the neighbors… I’ve already got one who has sent me 4 pictures of my car telling me how nice it is and asking me questions about it… uhhh - I haven’t even gotten to touch it yet! FOMO is for real!

    Haha! All of mine are sitting in a box in a corner my garage where the Mrs. doesn’t venture into! I’m tempted to do the spoiler, but I’m going to start eating into my tint and acceleration boost budget soon! :cool:

    What’s everybody’s favorite accessory they are excited for before even having the car? I picked up a few things… performance brake/accelerator pedals, center console tray, puddle lights that project the Tesla logo on the ground, and sunroof shades… anybody have something they can’t wait to put...

    👨‍🎓day for me! My M3 was just delivered in my driveway and I’m 200 miles away drooling all over my CCTV footage of it sitting there waiting to be driven!!! I thought the last month since I ordered was the longest month in my life… I think the next 24 hours is going to be worse! Also - for...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    100% agree here! My delivery appointment got moved several times and is supposed to be dropped off in my driveway today, but I’m not getting rid of my car until I’ve fully accepted delivery. Don’t leave anything to chance here!

    Not at all - look at the Model 3 order page -it should show the same dates.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I realized late in the game that my DC was super busy and they would hardly ever answer the phone. I found another, newer one, that wasn’t nearly as busy and they answered each and every time I called. They were super friendly and helpful and have access to the same notes everybody else has.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I joined right in the middle of it and somehow cobbled together that Andrew is responsible for the EDDs moving and for VINs coming and going. Someone said that he’s a genetically modified squirrel that is pulling the levers behind the scenes at Elon’s bidding. Of course, I could have just made...

    Woohoo! Congrats! FINALLY getting mine delivered tomorrow. Will have to rely on my home CCTV camera to watch it until I get home Sunday!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Good news! My car is ready to be picked up! Bad news - I’m gone for the weekend! So they are dropping it off at my house tomorrow. Guess I’ll be coming home Sunday instead of Monday! First world problems!

    One last Hail Mary before leaving for a long weekend. Figure I should’ve changed my profile picture the other day. Seems to have worked for some others!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    If I've learned anything this past month, it's that you can never trust your EDD and that you'll get your car when you get it. The biggest piece of advice I can offer (at least from the last 2 weeks), is to look on the existing inventory page regularly for your exact build and see if one shows...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thanks... I've learned now to not have any hope/excitement until my butt is in the driver seat, so my bubble has been burst one too many times... BUT - the SA told me I'm set up for home delivery and my car would be dropped off in my driveway, potentially waiting for me when I return from my...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Well, my saga continues... just talked to someone that was helpful. Not the news I wanted, but at least I was given a pretty honest answer. My car is at the mercy of logistics in Fremont. She said they'll try to expedite it, but was actually not even hopeful I'd see it by the 3rd now. Also...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Judging from my SAs comment, I wonder if they gave them all today off. If so, that would explain them being nice! Looking forward to a day off after a hellish last couple of weeks!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It's been great having others to share my misery with - really appreciate the comradery through all of this! Hoping my SA that made the FB post will see my reaction to comment this morning and realize he's being called out publically now and will get off his a$$ and give me a call! haha!
  38. greymatter73

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    That really makes me wonder if mine showed up and my SA was just too overwhelmed yesterday to contact me... I'll give him a call in a bit and see if he actually picks up his phone this time. Sooo beyond annoyed, but super happy for you! Congrats!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I was way tired last night when I posted this, but for clarity, here's what the SA posted to someone's question in a group post inquiring about his delivery date: Hey XXX, I can completely understand how that can be frustrating. To give you some insight, Vins can be assigned at the factory...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Just saw a SA comment on someone’s FB post that delivery operations are not resuming until July 2nd. What a crock of Sh$7! I guess that’s why nobody would answer me when I asked why my delivery from today got rescheduled to July 3rd!
  42. greymatter73

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    @es06m3lrawd - Any news from you on your delivery or anything? If not, that totally sucks, but I’m glad I’m not the only one. I’ll be lighting up my SAs phone first thing tomorrow.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Misery loves company! To add insult to injury, I just had to go full up my gas tank because I was planning on taking my M3 to SF for work tomorrow, so I let my ICE run to empty and just listed it for sale yesterday, and last night I canceled my SiriusXM, and my Lexus Enform account...
  45. greymatter73

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    We’ve both got VINs, though, so guessing something prioritized the other cars being delivered today over ours. I doubt we’ll be delayed much more beyond today or tomorrow, but at this point nothing is surprising me anymore. Seriously, though… after sleeping so good last night knowing I was...
  46. greymatter73

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm getting a sinking feeling that this is the case... And because mine got rescheduled to 7/3, I wonder if they're giving their drivers a break after the mad dash the last few days? I hope not, because it would be nice to get it early (per my current date!)... not holding my breath anymore...
  47. greymatter73

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    This makes me wonder if our cars are supposed to be on the same truck. My appointment yesterday was for 9-6 and I got called at around 10am saying my car wouldn't be loaded yesterday but would be for sure today, so they set a Noon pickup for today. Then got the call that it wouldn't make it...
