    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    FWIW, After my VIN was assigned, I reached out asking when my car had been "born" and it was built the day before the VIN showed up in my app.

    I'm loving it! The current acceleration is good enough for me, I've been too scared to try putting pedal to metal just yet 😂

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Not necessarily; the morning of 2/11, my EDD was 2/14-2/24. That same day in the afternoon, I saw a VIN in the app and my EDD had changed to 2/14-2/18. The next day I received the text to schedule delivery for 2/17-2/19.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Congrats, it looks great! Regarding the 15 miles thing: From what I understand, that's just the default mileage they have on the paperwork. My car arrived with 8, also from a nearby service center. Tesla works a ton with DCU, so I think they're more flexible/trusting with payments coming from them.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It might depend on your proximity to Fremont? I'm up the coast in the Seattle area; saw my VIN in the app on Fri. 2/11, then got the "Congratulations, it's your turn to schedule your Model 3 for delivery" text the next morning on Sat. 2/12. I was given a delivery window of Thurs. 2/17-Sat. 2/19...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    1. I got my car last week but am totally blanking on the timing here! I'm pretty sure I was able to pay for my portion of the car's cost a couple or three days from delivery, so given you're within that window, I'd suggest you use the Tesla web-chat feature to talk to an agent and see if they...

    Happy to oblige 😉 She arrived yesterday. Hope your waiting is rewarded (relatively) soon!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I think Tesla stopped rate-matching sometime last year? You can switch from Cash to Third-Party financing using the chat function on the Tesla website. I first got approved with my lender, then got financing switched in my account and then added details of the third-party-financing info in my...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Forgot to post my final rundown of the order-to-delivery roller coaster; my journey was about 3 months long: MSM/Black, 18", No FSD Ordered 11/18 with EDD of January 2022 Pre-12/10 EDD: 1/8-2/8 12/16: 2/11-3/11 12/16: 2/11-3/ 12/17: Accepted trade-in offer 12/20: 2/11-3/11 1/7: 1/14-2/11 1/7...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Delivery day over here! My boyfriend's car (2018 blue Model 3 LR) got a new sibling. The Tesla guy was super patient while we looked over everything inside and outside (he didn't make me accept delivery before I checked out the interior) and when I mentioned I thought the frunk was a wee bit...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    As to the third-party loan process, my experience has been stressful but thankfully quick, as I only applied for the loan on Sat. 2/12 (after having received my VIN on 2/11) with a delivery date looming several days later. Probably could/should have applied earlier, but I was wary of my EDD...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I had to get my offer renewed last week; entered updated mileage probably around 9-10 a.m. PT and received an updated offer at 4:55 p.m. that day.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Try texting the general Tesla number (reply to your initial text from Tesla that you got upon ordering). I used the chat to ask about something else, then had a question about my VIN and the woman said they have limited access to VIN-specific info. I did then get what I needed via the text process.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I've been wondering about this too, as I got a VIN assignment yesterday, a text today telling me I can select my delivery date/time (for late next week) but still no vision agreement yet either. I've put in my insurance info, since for Wash. state it doesn't need to be specific to the car, and...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I only reached out to Tesla a couple times before I got my VIN, and though they were responsive, they seemed to be pretty canned/uninterested replies. I agree that the communication has been much better since VIN assignment, which was only yesterday. Per some texts with the general 510-area-code...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Um, whoa. Just went into the app out of habit (it'd been a few hours) and was pleasantly surprised to see a shrunken EDD of Feb. 14-Feb. 18 ... then I looked more closely at the screen and there's now a VIN in the upper-left corner! 175XXX. Better get the wheels going on that loan application...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    For an update here: As I mentioned on a post before the quoted one above, my EDD jumped out a month yesterday morning from 2/9-2/22 to 3/11-3/31. I received the updated trade-in offer yesterday afternoon and then woke up today to a more enjoyable (and shortest yet) EDD window of 2/14-2/24. I...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I have the same config as you and an OD of 11/18/21. I went down to a two-week window, then a 15-day window and (this morning) still a two-week window, but ... starting a month in the future (whereas my previous couple EDDs had been within Feb.). So, I think you'll just have to see what the dice...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    That "hold" theory of yours is mighty tempting to try out! Luckily I live off a different interstate than the main thoroughfare to Canada, so I'm not being tortured by transport trucks heading north 😉 I do live in a 'burb of Seattle where Teslas are quite popular, so maybe that's part of my...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ouch! Yeah, that bugs me too that I might've had a car by now if I ordered later. I've at least held off on applying for a loan just yet, as I had my credit checked in mid-Dec. for a refi and want to let some time pass before my next pull. Plus I'm worried about the application expiring just as...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Seriously! I'm also in the "just got pushed back" group as of this morning. I'd gone into my account I think yesterday on my desktop and all looked fine, but when I went in this morning via the app to the mobile site, suddenly there was a note about my trade-in offer recently having expired...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ugh, woke up to a pretty big push-back of a month, from an EDD of 2/9-2/22 to 3/11-3/31 😣 Obviously I know this can and will change, but it's making my impatience and frustration worse to see so many folks with much later ODs than mine (I ordered 11/18/21) taking deliveries so quickly -- even...
  23. PK_Seattle

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ah! Good to know; hopefully they'll reach out to me if I do need to resubmit. I originally submitted the trade-in request in Dec.; when that expired in Jan. I resubmitted and it decreased by $100. Sucks yours went down so much! Hope also that your delivery comes in time to stick with that...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Last I checked my trade-in valuation, it was set to expire on 2/7, but when I go into my account I don't see any mention of it having expired or any way for me to update the mileage or anything. Maybe it's a sign I'm close enough to my actual delivery date that they're just locking it in...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Out of curiosity, I just rang up the Tesla center in Bellevue to see if they could offer any insight into a more narrow EDD range, as some on this thread have had good results when talking to an SA. The woman I spoke to was super nice, but said she has no more info to offer me other than that...
  26. PK_Seattle

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ah man, I'm also in the Seattle area; same specs and an 11/18 OD (no holds or rejected VINs). Current EDD is 2/9-2/22. I hope my turn comes up soon! Congrats to you in the meantime!
  27. PK_Seattle

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yeah, I worry about that being the case for sure. Gotta just keep waiting with fingers crossed!
  28. PK_Seattle

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My EDD just got pushed a bit, from 2/5-2/19 to 2/9-2/22 (MSM/Black/Aero, Seattle area). My EDD at order in mid-Nov. was Jan. ‘22, but it’s not surprising I’m moving further into Feb. given all the holds folks had late last year for BBB and then earlier this year for the chip and battery updates.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I did play around with the down-payment amount and lease lengths, but it never budged from that interest rate (and I didn't try to go further in the process). Guessing it's a quirk of my browser or something, so: Good to know it's not always quite that high!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yeah, I don't know exactly when :(
  31. PK_Seattle

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'd been planning on going through Tesla too, since they were offering financing at 2.49%, but I was holding on applying until I had a more firm/imminent EDD and now the rate has gone up to 2.74%, so I'm planning to see about going through DCU to save more money. I found a super detailed...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Haha, not for those of us with Nov. ODs 😭

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I've been getting so jealous of all the VINs being assigned to you all, so earlier today (and for the first time ever) I replied to the "Welcome to Tesla!" text I got back in Nov. '21. I wrote: "Hello! I've been playing the waiting game since my order in mid-Nov. '21, and have been sitting on an...

    Add new reaction type to show support. Other reactions don't fit.

    For sure! I wouldn't also mind a "surprised" or "whoa!" reaction like this guy(ish): 😮
  36. PK_Seattle

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I hope this means they're starting to make their way north with deliveries, since so many Cali folks have been getting VINs and now you. I have the same config as you but a slightly earlier OD of 11/18. Congrats on the pending pick-up!
  37. PK_Seattle

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Not yet, but hopefully soon. My OD was 11/18/21 for MSM/Black/18". EDD shrunk to a two-week window for the first time a few days ago, so I'm now at 2/5-2/19 (not-so-patiently waiting over here 😉). Hope we both get VINs soon!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My boyfriend bought his M3LR a few years back and was surprised when I told him about these “waiting room” forums and how I’m checking the app for EDD updates at least daily since I ordered my car in mid-Nov. I guess he placed his order and then just went on with life as usual until he was...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Nice! Hope that means mid-Nov. MSM/Black/18" PNW deliveries are imminent as well!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I have my first two-week EDD window after only having had month-long ones since my initial order. Having been on this forum for a while, I know not to read too much into that, but hopefully it's a good sign! MSM/Black, 18" wheels, no FSD, Seattle area OD: 11/18; original delivery estimate on...

    AMD Ryzen & 12v Batteries now shipping in US Y & 3!!

    FYI: Unfortunately we newbies apparently have to make 5-6 posts on TMC before we can create a signature and/or add reactions to others' posts. So the omission may not be intentional, as a lot of us are aware this is useful info to be including!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Also seeing TBD for the date on the website, and in the app the EDD field is missing entirely.
  43. PK_Seattle

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yep, I’m in that club; my EDD had been holding steady for almost a month and jumped out this morning: MSM/Black, 18" wheels, no FSD OD: 11/18; original delivery estimate on the website was Jan. 2022 EDD journey: Pre-12/10 (before I thought to start tracking dates): 1/8-2/8 12/16: 2/11-3/11...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Been lurking for a few weeks but am surfacing briefly to say "hello" and share my order info. I've been a frequent passenger in my boyfriend's 2018 Blue M3LR for over two years and it (along with my dude's non-stop proclamations of love for it 😂) has won me over enough that I decided to swap in...
