Yeah I wish there was some rhyme or reason behind their decision making and production. I do feel bad about being ahead of some people.

I ordered 6/16 and took delivery last week, 7/29. White/white, aero wheels and no FSD.

Am I understanding that you are not seeing your right and left rear cameras in reverse? I'm not either. Got my 2021 M3 on Thursday and haven't seen the side cameras pop up at all. That was definitely a feature on my 2018 M3 and I assumed it would be on this one, but am I missing something...

Here she be! Absolutely gorgeous.

Yeah I'm in the KC metro and per our delivery folks (who have been fantastic and very responsive, btw) they ship from Cali to Chicago via rail and then truck them from Chitown to KC. I presume that is true for a fairly large radius from Chicago, so upper midwest, Ohio Valley maybe, etc...

Were you financing?

Not sure how often existing inventory is updated on the Tesla website but there are other websites that are easier to use rather than punching in a bunch of zip codes to find if there are any cars. For instance: https://ev-cpo.com/ https://ev-tsla.com/ The second link is actually a bit more...

Just set my pickup date for 7/30. My account shows that as well, but it says that the agreements will be available 24 hours before the delivery time. Yours very well could update to that as well, but I wouldn't worry about it unless you're within 24 hours of picking the car up.

Absolutely. As I've previously posted, Tesla offered me $27,500 and wouldn't budge, even when I sent them email proof of higher offers. I sold my 2018 M3 for $35K to a company called Current Automotive. I see a posting on their website, which I'm virtually certain must be mine, with a list...

I was a little surprised that they all go to Chicago with KC being literally right in the middle of the country and having a lot of rail routes coming in, but I'm getting the sense that Chicago is the hub for most of the upper midwest. If they are going to truck cars from there all the way to...

I hate to point this out, but I ordered 6/16 (white/white, 18", no FSD) and I was notified about my VIN on Monday morning. Talking with the KC folks, they said that cars for our area get transported by train to Chicago and then trucked down to KC. My current EDD is 7/24-7/28 now and has been...

Yeah. White/white, no FSD. Ordered 6/16, VIN 7/19.

I came in after this began, but some of the folks who've since "graduated" and received their cars decided that the EDD was controlled by a (robot???) squirrel named Andrew. Andrew is evil and capricious, so the legend goes, and to appease him in an attempt to get a VIN/car sooner rather than...

Got my VIN this morning too! 6/16 order, exact same specs as Formina (no FSD) and exact same delivery window. Didn't get any email or other notice; just checked my account like I do every morning. For those who've waited longer than me, I truly am sorry. I feel a little bit bad about getting...

Have no idea if this has any relation to my communication with my KC Tesla folks or not, but my EDD moved up one day and shrunk down to one week; it's now 7/31-8/7. By far the narrowest range I've seen.

All right, which one of y'all stole my white/white that was in inventory in Austin, TX just now??? 😁 I called the folks here at the KC Tesla location. A few things to note, per them, at least: 1) The $100 should/will apply to the new vehicle if you buy one from existing inventory, so you...

I emailed my local Tesla folks, who have actually been really responsive the past couple weeks. Wondering if I should just call to make it even more immediate though. Thanks!

On the EV-TSLA site provided by others today, I'm actually seeing more pop up this afternoon. There's one matching my build but for the 19" wheels in Austin and one in Phoenix, and I'm really tempted to pull the trigger and fly out to either place to drive it home. For anyone who's canceled...

Well done! Congrats!

Couldn't agree more. There's a lot that goes into running a good company. Quality product for a fair price is probably the most important, but customer relations, including managing expectations, is pretty critical too. Tesla is AWFUL at consistent customer relations and realistic...

I agree. It may be that they used to do foreign builds to start a quarter, or maybe they still do to some extent, but given that there is no inventory at dealerships since the end of last quarter, how would Tesla be providing VINs for pending orders if they aren't actively producing some US...

Maybe I'm misreading this, but how is giving July or August date ranges (fluctuating though they may be) but thinking that September delivery is a "best bet" under-promising and over-delivering? It's the exact opposite. If they really wanted to do that, they should tell all of us not to expect...

Many congratulations! I cannot fathom having to wait that long; I hope I'm not jinxing myself by saying that. Glad to see someone with an April order finally get the VIN!

Moved closer by a few days from a start date of August 6 to August 1 now. Ordered 6/16. Go home, EDD calculator; you're drunk.

Just have them drop my white/white version in KC a day or two before then. I'll buy you a beer ;)

As I've noted here before, Tesla was $7500 lower than Current Automotive, who I sold to. I was also getting much, much better offers from Vroom and another company. I would've preferred to sell my 2018 M3 to Tesla because it would have provided flexibility for me that I don't have now, but a...

I did indeed get the Jonesy reference! Maybe Tesla is dealing with a magma displacement. Well done, sir/ma'am!

My range went to 7/18-8/6; ordered 6/16. I'm hoping that the train that is bringing yours on the 19th stops here in KC and gives me mine on the 18th 😁

Admittedly, I had 51,000+ miles on it. The offer amount itself isn't what shocked me; it was the $7500 difference. I even sent Tesla the email offer for $35K and they wouldn't budge. Kinda pissed me off TBH. I just sold my 2018 this week and the buyer sent a truck to retrieve it tonight. I...

Was this a generic, machine generated email or was this from an actual human being? I've gotten confirmations after my order that were clearly machine generated but have never received an email/text/call from a person. It could have been magic, I suppose, but sounds like it wasn't as magical...

No clue on your priority. I'm amazed they originally gave you a delivery date within ~30 days.

When did you order?

Yeah, I've never received any communication at all from anyone after I placed my order on 6/16. The whole process is so haphazard; it's really pretty pathetic. It's good that Tesla makes amazing cars, because they would not make it based on their customer service, such as it is.

For the posters who are noting delivery dates, when did you place your order?

I'm not a coder so I'm not very familiar with that screen, but how far down should I be looking for "vehiclemapid"? I don't see it anywhere.

I have had no communication, email, phone, text, or other, from Tesla since my loan approval went through one day after my 6/16 order.

Not sure how much you've looked around, but Tesla lowballed me really badly on my 2018 M3. I had offers in the low to mid $30K range from more than one company and when I checked Tesla they offered $27,500. Had a video chat with a rep in Cali and asked if they could come up from that; he said...

Oh dear. You might need to consult your physician 😮

Makes me wonder if there is a production run that's designated to filling US orders. I know some posters here have noted that in the past the first month (or two?) of a quarter went to overseas orders but that that's changed to some extent. Maybe Teslas figures they will have 2 weeks of...

Just looking at a few that I considered purchasing over the past couple weeks I noticed they would fall off the webpage quickly. My guess is that people bought them up in short order, and given that they wanted to deliver as many cars as they could at EOQ they probably didn't replenish the...

I don't blame you a bit if you switch, but I can say this: once you get your car, all the waiting will be worth it. I've had a 2018 Model 3 for nearly 3 years and I absolutely love it. I'm frustrated by the back and forth EDD and lack of communication/guidance too, and I can't imagine if I had...

Yep. Mine moved today to. It's not 7/18-8/7. Ordered 6/16. I just hope it doesn't keep backing up further.

At least they are consistent.....I ordered on 6/16 and my EDD currently sits (and has for over a week) at 7/11-7/31, so that month-ish timeframe is consistent for both of us. Now, that doesn't mean they'll actually hit that timeframe, but maybe there's some good reason why we are both looking...

Great write up and congrats! However, one nitpick......you can't say "step on the gas" anymore 😁

True, but that doesn't help for the curb ahead of your vehicle. If you're backing in, tilting helps, but not really in the other direction.

I have done this for years as well, as I believe it's how side mirrors are supposed to work anyway, but I know most people (my wife included) end up using half of the side mirror to see the side of their driver's side door. That said, the issue I have with the lack of visibility for those...

So odd. But congrats on the very quick turnaround time from order to VIN. Hopefully your delivery comes in on schedule.

The one thing I haven't enjoyed about my current M3 is that the visibility, in the mirrors and from the driver's seat to the sides, is not good. I have a lot of curb rash from early on, until I got used to it. Just be aware that compared to a lot of other vehicles, it's hard to know exactly...

I'm confused.....if you didn't order until 6/27 why did you need to confirm the change from radar to vision? From Tesla Support: "Beginning with deliveries in May 2021, Model 3 and Model Y vehicles built for the North American market will no longer be equipped with radar. Instead, these will...

Can you explain where that information comes from? Not saying it's wrong, but I find it hard to believe that every single car produced for an entire month goes overseas and not a single car gets built/delivered in the US. Especially because when I ordered on 6/16 my delivery date shows...
