    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Brutal. Very sorry to hear that. Hopefully they can get you sorted quickly.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thanks! I think they will. I’ve been pretty vocal about the whole thing. I have the name of the rep and service manager and will deal with them directly.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Delivery day #2 has come and gone. More of the story below (sorry for the long posts here). It's been a ride. My wife and I get there (she's been a trooper through this whole thing) and I came to a determination in about 15 seconds that I was going to refuse delivery. They repaired the bumper...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Busy day here. Unfortunately, I did not get my car today. I got a text from the Tyco store early this morning apologizing for the mistake text and that the car will be ready tomorrow. So I’ve accepted my documents once again. Hoping tomorrow is actually the day.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Just got this text. “Good evening <name>, Tesla Tyco team here. It looks like your car was delayed in transit, so we are tentatively pushing your delivery to Friday the 20th just to ensure it arrives and is washed and detailed…” My car is 100% not in transit. This may be a standard text for...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Delivery day #2… has been delayed to tomorrow. I talked with one of the reps at the Tyco center. They’re extremely confident about the car being exactly the same as if it came from the factory. He was explaining part of the process they perform and how that QC mirrors the factory (I didn’t get...

    Yikes. That would be wild. 😆

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Interesting development here. I've received no word from Tesla since my failed delivery yesterday and yet... I'll keep an eye on it over the next day or so, but I may already be scheduled for delivery day #2. I am concerned about the rear bumper repair if this date holds. If the car is truly...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Appreciate it. Obviously I’m hoping for a better second delivery day as well. I emailed my SA and one of the folks at the Tyco location stressing how disappointed I was at the experience and how we’ve started to make plans to have dual vehicles which has been derailed. Granted it’s not a big...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yes it was. They didn’t really have a choice since I didn’t accept delivery, nor could I when the paint was down to the bare bumper and they saw it. There was a Model Y that had paint damage on the left rear door and looked way worse than mine. It wasn’t a good day for a few of us getting our...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Delivery day! A short story. I'm pretty excited to get the vehicle. We arrive about 12:15PM and find the car off to the side of the building. My wife and I start inspecting. The first thing I notice is that the car has temp tags. It shouldn't. It should be ready to go to put my tags on it...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    In the realm of “Tesla first world problems”, this is going to be a tough week. That 15th delivery date seems like an eternity away! 😆 Hope y’all get VINs soon. It’s awesome seeing more Teslas on the road.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I will let you know how this second one goes. My SR+, I didn’t have to do a thing except drive it home after I inspected it and finished the paperwork. I took delivery of that one in Richmond.
  14. A

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yeah, it’s so far working out. So you have to register your M3? That makes no sense to me but could be part of the mobile delivery. My SR+ had tags and registration good to go. The LR is getting my previous tags, I hope… lol. I just talked with my SA who said the tags and registration should be...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Quiet past couple of days then just a bit ago... I got a call from my SA. Couple of useful tidbits. First, my car is in transit and looks to arrive on 8/13. Second, my loan pre-approval is good through that date and a bit beyond anticipated delivery. I think it was because I changed who I...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thanks for the info! That’s good to know. I will be less than a week past my 60 days. I don’t mind if they fund the vehicle up to that week before if I were ensured on taking delivery on that date. I will have to talk to the lender to be sure. I sent some follow up questions to my SA with (you...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I got some info from my SA! Found out that my car is scheduled to arrive in VA somewhere between 8/14 and 8/16 (EDD is 8/11 to 8/17 currently). Once it arrives, I will be contacted about delivery. The only problem is renewing the loan pre-approval since it’ll be over 60 days. Minor...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Checked this morning... Again... After checking 4-5 times yesterday. Yup, the constant refreshing and checking is real. 😆 My EDD remains at 8/11 - 8/17. No word from my SA at all. No further documents to sign. Granted this is an issue of privilege but I'm stressing over here! So ready at this...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    EDD is 8/11 - 8/17. VIN still there (I had this sinking feeling it would be gone). Insurance proof has been uploaded. Emailed my SA yesterday but no response so far. As expected, now the refreshing and anticipation has been increased by many fold. Hoping to hear some news today!

    If you call them, definitely talk with John. He’s been awesome to work with.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Small world indeed! My car, assuming I have it, goes in on Sept 6th. I had an appt for Aug 5th but rescheduled due to not having the car yet… 😭 It’s so worth it. I’m doing premium then adding the lower parts which is another $500 iirc. Finally the ceramic coating. I will try to not drive mine...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I used Detail Authority, and will be using them for round two. I was really thrilled with their work. They have also done work to my wife’s vehicle as well (tinted windows and partial PPF wrap). They have a decent price on the full wrap for the M3. I was talking to them (John, who’s been...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I did not. I did a full front, including side mirrors and pillars, and the lower panels around the car. This did include headlights. I also had the door edges done but I will be skipping those this time.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My new one is going in day one for PPF. My SR+ had PPF and it was an absolute life saver. There were a few minor bumps on the film on the front bumper where a rock hit the car but it was unnoticeable to someone looking at it. Another time I got saved was when I drove over fresh line paint. The...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Woke up feeling pretty horrible due to battling sinus issues since last week (got a covid test which came up negative, whew). Figured I’d check what my new EDD is… 8/13 to 8/19. But I have a VIN! Got my Tesla Vision statement that I approved and voila! There’s that VIN. That was a nice...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    @LaneDS that looks amazing! I can't wait to get mine. Speaking of mine... A smaller window! Moved one day to the right from the beginning of the EDD. The beginning of the EDD is two weeks from today (seems to be a theme for my EDD at least). I can't wait to get this car. I'm so happy, and...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My window is also tightening! Two days shorter. Ordered on 6/3, so I'm hoping the VIN comes really soon. 😬
  28. A

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Smaller window than yesterday, although the beginning date moved to the right one day, now 8/13 to 8/23. Getting the VIN is going to feel like winning a lottery! It will be worth this wait. I miss my SR+. Knowing how good that car was, is a lot of the reason why I’m beyond ready to get the new...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    This happened to me for about 5-6 days then it started changing again.
  30. A

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Wasn’t able to check my EDD until later and it’s moved up a bit. It’s now 8/12 to 8/26. Hopefully this is a good sign. 😅

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    When I took delivery of my SR+ my app went "live" the day of delivery. Then again, everything was very quick (Apr 2020) so there wasn't a lot of time between my $100 deposit and picking up the car.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    After three days of an EDD of 8/13 to 9/2, it slid to the right one day and is now 8/14 to 9/3. Sigh. It’ll be here someday! 😅 Ordered 6/3, MSM/Black, 18” aero, no FSD.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    This is good info here. I also am not a fan of the Tyson’s center so I wonder if Rockville could provide more information. I’d drive there if need be to get my car as long as they can support tagging it in VA with my existing tags.
  34. A

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Third day in a row of an EDD range of 8/13 to 9/2. Starting to get that “it’ll change” feeling and that getting a VIN is that golden unicorn I’ll never see. I totally get people buying something from inventory that’s close. My SR+ last April was 48 hours between putting in the order and one...
  35. A

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    LaneDS, did you get a MSM also? Similar setups would give me some hope (I’m in NoVA also, planning on picking up in Tyson’s) that I may be a few weeks out from a VIN. I know it’s not a guarantee though.
  36. A

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yes. Ordered mine on 6/3 but I do not have a VIN.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    There has? I haven’t seen it on ev-tsla or ev-cpo.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My EDD went to the right also. It was 8/6 to 8/19, now 8/13 to 9/2. I heard from my advisor yesterday… “That’s the date we have too.” I feel like that was more of a standard answer than anything else. No VIN here. Makes me sad. Also makes me wish I had held my SR+ for a bit longer until I had...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    7th day in a row for the one-day shortening of my EDD. Now at 8/6 to 8/19, from 8/5 to 8/19 yesterday. I decided to email my SA yesterday to probe for more information. As I expected, no response so far.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My morning routine is pretty set. First I get breakfast and coffee. Grab phone. Check the Tesla website. Finally, come here to see how others are faring in getting VINs and/or delivery dates. Y’all are part of the routine now. 😆 Sixth day in a row for a shrinking EDD! It was good to see someone...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yesterday: 8/3 - 8/19 Today: 8/4 - 8/19 Since this is the fifth consecutive day of the EDD window getting one day shorter and the end date of the EDD not moving, I’m betting I get the car on 8/19. 😆
  42. A

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Another day where my EDD range has shortened by a day but the beginning date is one day further out. Yesterday was 8/2 - 8/19. Today it’s 8/3 - 8/19. Fourth day in a row.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My EDD has formed a pattern over the last few days: 7/17 was 7/31 to 8/19 7/18 was 8/1 to 8/19 7/19 is 8/2 to 8/19 At this rate I guess I should expect the car on 8/19. Heh. I do appreciate the “two weeks” gap from today’s date to the start of the EDD window. :)

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yesterday: 9/10 - 9/30 Today: 7/30 - 8/19 Watching these dates go all over the place is a wild ride.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    New day, an unpleasant surprise. My EDD now says 9/10 to 9/30.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I was concerned about my trade-in value as well so I executed that and will be down a car until the M3 arrived.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    This right here. It’s not the wait for the car as much as it’s the requirement for getting financing then not being able to make that pre-approval window. Reapplying for another credit approval could lower scores, something I’m not happy about. I shouldn’t have to hope that my score won’t drop...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I’d be interested in knowing as well, if you don’t mind.
