    My Feb 2022 Model 3 LR's rear motor just failed. Less than 6k miles on it. :(

    Call it what you like. It was in the midst of our dog nearly dying, trying to leave to get to the vet hospital, and it was terrifying to suddenly have a car not drive forward, go into reverse, and have flashing lights going off. All I could think was that I was grateful we were not at a high...

    My Feb 2022 Model 3 LR's rear motor just failed. Less than 6k miles on it. :(

    That is what the first Tesla person told me it was. I have since talked with the tesla service person assigned to my car, and he said that after technicians had a look, that it is "failed rear drive INVERTER", and not motor as the first Tesla person had told me via phone.

    My Feb 2022 Model 3 LR's rear motor just failed. Less than 6k miles on it. :(

    I hope it is a simple fix! The strange thing is that it would no longer drive forward, nor go in reverse. No, our dog nearly did though, which is why I was not back on here. Luckily we were able to get him in for emergency surgery, and he is recovering.

    My Feb 2022 Model 3 LR's rear motor just failed. Less than 6k miles on it. :(

    Yes, I hear you. The problem is that it would not drive forward or in reverse. It just froze. It would not shift, but it did still steer. Tesla told me not to drive it, and to have it towed to them, which I did. Two weeks later, I have a loaner car from them, no diagnosis that anyone has...

    My Feb 2022 Model 3 LR's rear motor just failed. Less than 6k miles on it. :(

    Two weeks later, my car is still sitting at the Tesla service center and nothing has happened. My repair progress status just says "waiting for parts". They did give me a loaner car, which I appreciate. This happened as we were about to drive 1.5 hours to pick up our dog after emergency...

    My Feb 2022 Model 3 LR's rear motor just failed. Less than 6k miles on it. :(

    I am so sad. I picked up my model 3LR last year in Feb 2022, and I have all of 5,678 miles on it. Yesterday my husband and I went to pick our dog up from emergency surgery, and as he backed out of the garage, we saw a warning light then heard a loud "thunk!". Thank god we were not on a...

    I got my VIN on the beginning day of my 7th EDD, and I too was expecting a push back. You might get it today. Fingers crossed for you!

    Mine changed about 4 times in the final week before I got the VIN. And I got the VIN and took delivery the same day. Many changes without a huge shift in date range is goooood :)

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

    Does anyone happen to know how long they tend to keep your car when they adjust panel gaps? Do they offer loaner cars? I got the service request approval, and $0 charge for the estimate and it referenced loaner cars. I've only had this car since Tuesday night, and it's my first Tesla, so not...

    I am taking it in next week, and they will be adjusting. I sent the pictures to my SA and he agreed it needed it. Thanks!

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

    Hey hey :) Trying to assess what's normal, vs not normal with panel gaps! Picked my car up last night, and today noticed a few things. Does the Frunk usually have a decent gap? And, one area toward rear passenger window looks especially large to me? For those who have had these serviced...

    Those are them :) You should get $5500 in rebates on the car, plus $400 towards wall charger and cost of installation (up to 2k) with those. :)
  15. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It was them, not me! :) And, I had no idea these local rebates existed until I just happened upon a local ad, and started digging. You never know! :)

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Such a joy to pick up my car yesterday evening! Had a BLAST driving home from the Tesla store. :) 110% worth the wait. My 1659XX VIN car did come with Ryzen but I have no clue how to check the rest of the newer things. I have a dentist appointment this morning, and will be the HAPPIEST...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yeah, no luck. Glad it's not just me! :)

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Can't figure out how to post pics. LOL It does have Ryzen. No clue how to check the rest of the new stuff.

    Hope so! My OD was 12/8, so they definitely are delivering some ordered in that early-mid Dec. range. Yours can't be long behind! Keep us posted! :)

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Holy heck! Just got a call from my SA, and they actually have my car ready now, so picking up at 4pm TODAY! VIN and delivery in same day! Wooo hooo! It's my husband's bday today, but I am the one getting the present. LOL
  21. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yes, and my very first EDD was accurate too. Ironically, all but one of my EDDs were pretty accurate. Kind of wild. Lol

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Heard from my SA and home delivery scheduled for tomorrow!!! 2/2/22 🥰

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I hope your VIN comes soon!!!!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Guys! I got my VIN!!!!!!!! Woooooo hooooooo! :) 165XXX New EDD: 2/1-2/5 :)
  25. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Your OD was a few days after mine. Hopefully we both get VINs soon. :)
  26. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Right? My OD was 3 days earlier, but white/black. Here's hoping early Dec OD's start getting VINs soon. I've seen a lot of late Nov orders getting VINs. We can't be too far behind. :)
  27. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Same. I am now in my 7th EDD (a 2 week or less window which truly means nothing - it's my 3rd one), and expect EDD #8 tomorrow morning. Definitely disappointed. All the SA could tell me is that I am due to get a VIN within the next 3 weeks, and at latest, would take delivery early March. OD...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It's the 3rd time it's happened. I asked the SA about it and was told vehicles in current inventory get auto-matched to local stores, and that is why they go so fast. But, who knows. SA's say a lot of things.

    Kills me when I see my exact configuration within driving distance as existing inventory :(
  30. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Your experience is consistent with most of us here. I am on my 7th EDD, and you basically wait until your EDD starts to see if it gets pushed back, or you get a VIN. You should get a text about a VIN. Some have also reported getting an email, so you don't HAVE to check the app all the time...
  31. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It should be updated to a new EDD by tomorrow morning.
  32. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It will likely be updated when you wake tomorrow. And I hear you. I am on EDD #7 and will likely get EDD#8 on Weds. :(
  33. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Fingers crossed that you get a VIN tomorrow!! :( Those blue ones do seem delayed :(
  34. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    We shall see :) I'll update either way! Love your pickup date! :) You better post pics for us!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Same here. Ordered 12/8
  36. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    If anyone gets a VIN soon, I sincerely hope it's you. That's so wildly frustrating. :(
  37. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It's my 2nd two week window, and I also had an 11 day window as well, so I don't actually think the 2 week window means much. Assuming I will get EDD #8 tomorrow or Wednesday morning. But you never know. 🤷‍♀️
  38. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    This gives me hope! That's my exact configuration, and my OD is 4 days after yours! Congrats!! :)

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yikes! Glad things are moving for you now!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ah, was looking at signature: "OD: January 18, 2022"
  41. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Maybe, but your OD was a couple weeks before mine, so I still may be a little ways out. Hard to say! And this is my 3rd 2 week or less window, so I know anything can happen at this stage. 🙃
  42. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    You ordered less than 2 weeks ago and already got 2 VINs? Wow. Jealous! I am on day 55, no VIN yet....
  43. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Well, still no VIN yet. Based on what you all are posted, it looks like late Nov OD's are getting VINS, and I am seeing many with 8 EDD's or more... So, I am guessing I'll get an 8th EDD tomorrow or Wednesday, and hopefully a VIN maybe a week later. Really ready for this part of the process...
  44. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yes please! I think the late Nov/early Dec orders are just about there! :)
  45. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yes! I am about a week behind your OD, so hoping for a VIN soon! :) Congrats!!
  46. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It also has that white interior. I keep saying it, but those seem to be delivered faster at this point. And yes, with that VIN, probably someone who ordered in Nov released the VIN, I'd guess.
  47. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Early December for me, and no, not yet
  48. Doggerton

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Wow. You currently have an earlier EDD than mine by one day, and I ordered Dec 8. Only difference in our configurations is the tires. I stayed with 18 inch as I liked the black contrast. That's an insanely early EDD given you just ordered 10 days ago. 🤯
