Does it only happen at rest or when in motion? Like the others have mentioned, sounds like the same effect as a baking sheet popping from warping when it goes in and out of the oven. Some sort of tension in the body panels and/or battery casing that hits a critical deflection point, causing the...

They sent me a free pickup link via Uber.

I was all set to pickup at one delivery center when they called and said oops its at another location 20 miles away. One long free Uber ride later the saga is finally over! This is the LFP, the old NCA order would have arrived about a week later. No issues and it's been a blast so far.

Regular scheduled maintenance is not a concern with this car, but an out of warranty Tesla is a big giant Nope for me! I've wrenched on many of my ICE cars but this is a new arena of technology, risk, and cost.

I am leasing. The lower monthly payment and ease of turning over the keys in 2 years for something new and shiny again are my main reasons. These cars will see so many changes and tech updates that long term ownership isn't right for me. If the car and brand are good to me, I will sample the...

I got impatient and snagged my build from the big drop. Waiting on the delivery window alert, but at least I have a VIN and tighter EDD of 9/4-9/10. The rep on the order hotline said this one should be in on 9/7. They will cancel my 7/3 order and move the $100 over to my inventory order. It's...

That's where I'm at currently. I have a blue/black ordered on 7/3. Let's see if this stays true, the 2nd is next Thursday!

My EDD tightened to 14 days for the first time ever. Now 9/2 - 9/16. Ordered on 7/3. Does that mean it is getting close to a VIN?

Moved to August 30 - September 19, losing another week. With all the long wait times and a lack of exact matching inventory in my zip code range it isn't looking good. Sure I'd like a LR or Performance, but I was trying to keep to a budget otherwise I'd have one already.

I'm about to hit a week of the same EDD of August 23 - September 12. It's been nice to have it stay consistent, hopefully the window tightens and I get a VIN soon. Ordered 7/3, blue/black/aero. I haven't seen anything in my area on the inventory sites so I'm just giving up and waiting. There...

Awesome! It's crazy but nice to see the remaining May orders getting cleared out.

CA Go go go!

You ordered my build two days earlier than me, and are a few states to the east, so I am stupidly getting optimistic that I'll get a VIN in 2 days. Congrats!

Lost about 6 days in today's meaningless EDD change: August 22 - September 11 I reluctantly made my 1st extended lease payment on my current car. I can only add one more month getting me though the first week of October, I really hope I take delivery by then. Blue/black/aero , ordered 7/3.

Backed up to August 16 - September 5 this morning. So.. 12 days until delivery right? 🥴

No more 8-14 weeks, back to August 20 - September 9 from last week. I forgot today also marks 30 days of waiting.

2nd day of 8-14 weeks. Hoping the Midwest gets some VINs soon.

Boo, went back to the longer window and lost a bunch of days. August 16 - September 05 Ordered 7/3.

Moved up a few days and also a tighter window: August 11 - August 27 Blue/black/aero ordered 7/3.

I'm preparing for the mixed reaction from some friends. A little bit of hater's jealousy, a little bit of "you paid what for this and it doesn't have X feature?".

I gained 4 days this morning: August 16 - September 05. (Ordered 7/3).

Two popped up near me on Tesla's page, and there were 9 on tesla-info.com (M3 and MY, I show all models) First time I've seen one Chicago bound! Release the SR+ VINs!

My EDD went back to Aug 20 - Sep 9 (7/3 order). The initial 9-13 week estimate is starting to sink in, I hate it! My SA kept repeating September so I gave up asking for further updates.

They probably had a surge of traffic from people thinking a change in website UI = VIN and delivery time. Back in line everyone!

If I had to grade Tesla right now: Technical sprints: A± Production sprints: F-

I Beats getting one locked in Chill mode! Start saving for your X Plaid lol.

@CCRM3 sorry you had such a bad experience. This forum has been eye opening in terms of quirks, QC and QA issues, and service center misses. It's clear Tesla is having growing pains and not doing well with scale, but at the end of the day you finally have a car and hopefully you get those issues...

Part of why I went with a Tesla was to avoid the dealer markup, especially in this current market. I've seen other demo models go for a few hundred less than sticker, so this is the first time I've seen an above msrp price even after FSD and rear heated seats. That's a big nope!

I'm not sure if it helps or hurts but I haven't seen a single inventory model appear on the scraping sites recently.

After almost a week of 8/21 - 9/10, my EDD gained two weeks today. Means nothing, but a nice placebo effect when it moves up. New EDD: August 07 - August 27 Ordered 7/3 (Blue/Black/Aero)

Does that mean it has been spraying fluid right over the emergency responder cutoff wiring?

I'm actually leasing so I was curious if it was any different. I can't find anything in inventory anyways so it doesn't really matter!

My head hurts trying to understand how they're releasing cars to inventory but also making us wait for weeks on end... If you do grab an inventory car, do you have to start a new credit app/hard pull?

Don't forget Carmax as another buyback source. The offer lasts 7 days there. I'm planning on selling my current non-Tesla lease there as soon as I get my M3.

So is the consensus that all glossy protectors will give off a rainbow effect with polarized glasses? I'm on the fence between glossy and matte.

Damn those inventory trackers, it showed me my build but as a Performance.. Must exhibit self control..

I'm going to change my order page bookmark over to the account page instead, it will help with the torture. I was signed out this morning and I got all excited for the prompt to appear, but no dice!

The new inventory page briefly showed a demo M3P in black in my zip, it lasted about 15 minutes. I have noticed that before today the paint color filter would only list either white or red, and now it lists black, blue and red. There is no inventory of course, but I'm just telling myself in my...

After 3 days of Aug 20 - Sep 9, it added a day, now at Aug 21 - Sep 10. Seems like it is narrowing down to this date range. Ordered 7/3. My SA didn't have any insight besides saying this matches up with the original estimate when the order was placed.

If you have complicated questions about out of state registration or trade in documents, etc, maybe. A lot of what they mentioned was more of less covered from everyone's stories here :) I came with the hope that it would somehow mean I am closer to delivery but left disappointed. It was on...

I also had the virtual orientation email and attended last week. It was just a primer on the pickup process for things like paperwork, temp plates, trade ins, insurance, etc. My EDD has bounced around simce then so this was not a milestone or indicator for a delivery in my opinion.

No Change Friday - good that my date hasn't been pushed out, bad that it hasn't changed to an earlier date. No VIN 🙁

I'm tracking this one closely as I think it will solve my conundrum of spending a weekend in the Southern IL wine trail. Coming from Chicago so I would want to have enough range to arrive and do the wine trail and state park stops, and make it back here before heading north again. Still waiting...

Lost a few weeks this morning, but I've seen this one before: August 20 - September 09

My test drive was in a 2019 with 5k miles and locked in Chill mode, so my actual M3 will look and feel even better!

I've moved over to August 8 - 28th, I keep rubber banding plus or minus a few days. I know this actually means nothing but at least it isn't 8-12 weeks again or late September/October.

I'm only 10 days into this game, the default EDD days suck! Is there a pill I can take where I just wake up at the showroom for delivery?

I have a SA contact since I went into the store and did two test drives, then they helped place the order. If you were fully online you'll probably want to chat with someone.

Got all excited when I saw my local SC emailed me, but it was just for a virtual orientation overview in anticipation of the yet to be defined delivery date. They are still doing contactless deliveries there so it will be interesting. No VIN yet.

Chicago Ordered 7/3 7/3: 9-13 weeks 7/4: Aug 9 - 29 7/5: Back to 9‐13 weeks 7/9: July 31 - August 20 710: August 07 - August 27 7/11: August 04 - August 24 3 day slide to the left, I'll take it!
