    Supercharger - Springfield, MO - North Beaver Road

    No clout required. In most cities, all you need to do is file a request and if no one challenges, it gets changed.

    Supercharger - Henryetta, OK

    I was there March 9th and no activity yet. Given the history of this location and and the amount of time it has taken to get started, I will happily take 8 stalls. There really isn't much space for more. McAlester, OK is also badly needed. The Francis Energy site at the turnpike is unreliable...

    Anyone used Francis Energy Charger on Indian Nations Turpike McAllister OK?

    I have used the McAlester Tnpk CCS charger several times in my M3 and MY. Last year it charged pretty slow, but it has worked well most recently. Be sure to sign up for their app and better yet order a RFID card. The card makes it very easy to activate a charging session.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Day 291... my M3 RWD is finally home in my garage getting topped off after 2+ hour road trip home. It looks great and it was a fun drive home.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I just received notification of delivery from Tesla and we are set for Wednesday, August 24th. This will be the longest week of my life!

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Day 285... New EDD is AUG 19 - AUG 24. All tasks are completed and I am waiting for notification from Tesla - Bloomington, IL to schedule delivery. I still won't believe it is real until I am driving my M3 home.

    I would update my order on the spreadsheet, but for some reason my original entry has vanished. Any idea why? Should I reenter everything again?

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Day 279... Received a phone call from Tesla about closing-out my trade-in. I don't have a trade, but perhaps this might be a sign of progress.🤞🤞🤞

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Perhaps. I know I am thinking of cancelling and buying an ICE car. This morning Tesla pushed back my EDD again. I am a stockholder and I was a fanboy, but I am tired of all of the broken promises. I have been waiting for my M3 since November. The price when I took my first test drive in February...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Enjoy driving my car 😛! It's not your fault, but I don't understand why Tesla won't ship older orders first. Day 264 and still no clue on when Tesla plans to deliver my M3. Whatever happened to the old adage, first come first serve. In all seriousness, I hope that your M3 is everything that you...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Day 252 and a new EDD. Pushed back to a 15-day window of July 31 - August 14.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Day 251, no VIN yet and still showing EDD of Jul 29 - Aug 12. I hope that it sticks, but who knows. 🤞Fingers crossed that the Hertz orders are complete and the new EDD windows are real this time.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    New 2-week window EDD: July 29 - August 12. Could this be real or is Tesla playin' mind games?

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    On day 233, I have a new EDD of July 26 - August 23. I guess that this is progress.

    Maybe I should upgrade my wife. Mine says what's the big deal. You can wait.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    So the M3 RWD is a real car. I thought that they were extinct (only to be read about in history books). Maybe someday a blue M3 RWD could find it's way to the Midwest.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Very similar OD and EDD to my order. Let's hope they are planning a run of M3RWD soon.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    For some strange reason Tesla switched my delivery to Council Bluffs, IA (much farther away than Bloomington, IL) and pushed my EDD to Sept - Nov. When I switched it back my EDD improved to July 20 - Aug 24. I didn't even know that Tesla had stores in Des Moines and Council Bluffs. The last I...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Whenever I contact a SA, I get the same song and dance telling me to be patient. I even begged for any tidbit that my move me up in the queue and I get the same no-nothing answers.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I guess I am just a newbie at 208 days. At the time of order, I didn't want to wait for an Austin Model Y. I thought that I could get a M3 sooner. Choosing blue paint was supposed to improve delivery by about 3 months. I want LFP & 18's, so I have no choice but to wait until I win the Tesla lottery.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    Today was a very eventful day. On my way from the Quad Cities to Des Moines and back (about 5 hours total) I counted 32 various Teslas traveling down I-80. I saw a trailer load of Rivians and a trailer of Teslas heading West. I visited the new Tesla showroom in Des Moines to test drive a Dual...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    My new EDD kinda sucks. As of today, it is now "Aug - Nov 2022". I spoke with a SA last week and pretty much begged and pleaded for suggestions on ways to expedite my M3 RWD. I asked about switching to a Dual Motor, white interior, or 20" wheels and the only suggestion that I got was be patient...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    That is exactly why I ordered blue. I did not want to wait until September for my car. Now I am waiting until September (if I am lucky) for my car.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    C'mon Tesla, you can do better! You know that this is not right. I have been waiting since November for this exact car. I ordered after the wave of price increases, so my cost is only marginally lower than the current price. Orders should be filled in the order that they are received, period!

    I hope that you made the trip to the showroom this week. It will put a smile on your face. The sad part is that you will want your car even more. People are getting their cars eventually; hopefully, yours will be sooner than later.

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I placed my order on November 6, 2021 and my Estimated Delivery is July 16 - August 27. I already sold my car thinking that I was going to get my car somewhere near the original EDD of May 5 - June 2, so something is terribly wrong in the universe if someone with 4/29 gets their car first. Based...

    Thank you for posing this question. I am a total newbie when it comes to posting to any forum and I thought that it was just my inexperience.

    Waiting in Iowa

    I ordered my Model 3 on November 6, 2021 and like a lot of you I placed my order on hold in anticipation of the tax credits. Once it was obvious that the credits were dead (at least for now), I released my hold in late February. Initially my estimated delivery date was 05/05/2022 to 06/02/2022...

    SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

    I was in Chicago today and drove by a Tesla store and decided to stop-in. It had been since February 2021 since I last sat in a Model 3. Just sitting in a car in the showroom reminded me of why I ordered a Model 3 in the first place. While I am disappointed with the wait, I have more resolve...
