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

    It doesn't appear that I was affected by the charge port shortage. It was already delayed, but only by 2 days. I'm still scheduled to pick up tomorrow. Unless I get notified of further delays, I plan on making final payment tomorrow morning before pickup.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My scheduled pickup got delayed. Got a text message from the Cincy SC and they said it's delayed in transit and they moved it to this Sat at 12:30 (it was originally scheduled for tomorrow morning).

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

    Hey guys, I'm new to this thread. I'm scheduled to pick up my M3LR this Thursday at 11 and am curious how long it might take considering I'm planning on doing a thorough inspection of the car. Any inputs would be appreciated.

    I think I might do ACH, as that's the preferred method and the easiest. I also currently have Geico, but am switching to nationwide.

    Mine has not gone back like yours did. Mine went from a 2 week window to a 5 day window when I received my VIN. Then last night I received the schedule pickup text. I called Tesla and they said it was in route from CA. In fact, the credit union just overnighted the check this afternoon. I'm...

    I received the schedule pickup text last night. Ended up picking Thu 5/19 at 11:00 a.m. Almost graduating! It's a little hard to believe the wait is almost over.

    2022 Q2 production Model 3 missing matrix headlights?

    I just got off the phone with customer service since I texted my SA about this (as well as other questions I had) and she didn't respond to this particular question. They did confirm that my vehicle has the "global" headlights, which is what is referred to as the "matrix" headlights. My VIN is...

    To all the mothers out there, HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! Also, I got my VIN (251xxx) this morning! WOOHOO! EDD is now 5/21 - 5/24

    As a SWE, I'm not certain how they would hard-code daily changes. Generally hard-coded things are static and don't change. The fact that for some folks it's changing everyday, means it's not hard-coded. It could however be programmed to change or update more or less frequently based on certain...

    Yes, that's the email I used.

    I was refunded the difference. But mine was purchased the day the news of the mobile connector came out. So maybe a couple weeks ago.

    CONGRATS! 👏🎉 Mine has to be coming soon...

    OOPS! I mistook 4/16 for 2/16. I mean, good for you @ForestGump, but man this is seriously frustrating!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    That's great, congrats! I have the same config as you, ordered 5 days earlier, picking up from Cincy, but I still don't have a VIN. Hopefully soon!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Um... yes (embarrassingly).

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    We have the same config, almost the same OD (mine is 2/11), updated to a 2 week window the same day (4/26), and have the same EDD right now (5/10 - 5/24). I bet we get our VINs the same day!

    2022 Q2 production Model 3 missing matrix headlights?

    I'm honestly not sure what to do about these headlights either. I guess it depends on whether or not they plan to start putting them back in. I feel like waiting this long has already been painful enough (especially since we've been sharing one car for our family of 4 for the last 2.5 months)...

    You should be getting the mobile connector since you ordered before April 17th.

    Congrats! Same OD here, still waiting on my VIN.

    I actually originally was approved with Wright Patt Credit Union (2.49%), but that was only good for 45 days. Then I applied with NGFCU (they have a much better rate @1.74% and a 180 day lock-in period). I was approved at both credit unions and locked the respective rates at both without a VIN.
  21. PinSeeker

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I don't believe that is true. I was approved for financing without a VIN and was able to lock my rate for 180 days. They will not write the check without the VIN, but you can get approved and lock the current rate.
  22. PinSeeker

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I went with NGFCU (since I'm a Northrop Grumman employee). I was able to get 1.74%, but it's for a 3-year term. What blew my mind was that they're approval was good for 6 months!
  23. PinSeeker

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm right there with you. I ordered 2/11, have a 2-week EDD, but no VIN just yet.
  24. PinSeeker

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My EDD just got updated to a 2 week window this morning. I have the same config as you and ordered one day earlier. I would've assumed our EDDs should be very similar (maybe a few days off).
  25. PinSeeker

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Hey guys, I finally received an EDD update this morning: 05/10 - 05/24

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I just heard back from my SA about the mobile connector: I would take this with a grain of salt. The dividing line is still unclear. I would assume we're not getting it. I ordered a wall connector just to be safe. I plan on keeping until I take delivery of the car. If the mobile connector is...

    Today is my 9th weekaversary with no EDD updates in the last 8 of those weeks. Not that anyone cares, but man, this is painful! It's like the longer you wait, the slower time goes by. 😅

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I've only test drove the M3 (once the Performance, and once the LR), so I can't talk for the MY. I had a 2011 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution for almost 11 years before ordering my M3LR. I will say the rearward visibility is way better in the M3 than it ever was in my EVO (with that fat wing...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Also picking up from Cincy, but I ordered a whole month after you did. Same exact config! I haven't seen any updates to my EDD in a LOOOONG time.
  31. PinSeeker

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Dude, it all sucks! I haven't had an update in 53 days (and I know others have gone much longer than that), and I ordered exactly 60 days ago. But again, as long as my EDD doesn't get pushed back, I'm cool with it.
  32. PinSeeker

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Same here. The cheapest quote I received was $875. But that's running wire from my basement, opposite corner of where the outlet will be installed, to the garage. Total 65' of wiring, which is a big chunk of the cost.

    Man, I appreciate you still hanging out in this forum even after you picked up your car to provide the much needed support! 👍👏

    Still no changes for me. As long as it doesn't get pushed back, I'm happy. :)

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I believe the car has to be already made before the VIN gets assigned. The VIN probably gets assigned to the vehicle early on in the production process, but it doesn't get assigned to a customer until sometime after it's off the production line. I could be wrong. 🤷‍♂️ I genuinely believe they...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It does certainly feel like they play some kind of VIN lottery. I would actually argue that what's weird here is the fact that you were able to miraculously take delivery of yours ONLY 28 days after ordering. Not many people have been as fortunate as yourself. Maybe someone with your exact same...

    Looks like that person ordered Feb 3rd - 62 days from order to VIN assignment, located in CO. They updated the spreadsheet, good job to you, soon to be M3P owner! 😆🤣

    That screenshot was taken from the 'Teslike Model 3 Survey & Order Tracker #1' spreadsheet where people fill in their order information. Based on that data, this graph was generated to show how many VINs were assigned each week. This is not limited to a certain location, this is based on all the...

    I think there might be some kind of quarterly trend where generally at the beginning of each quarter they get rolled out slowly, then they ramp up towards the middle of the quarter, then they start slowing down again towards the end. That's what seemed to happen for this Q1 at least.
  40. PinSeeker

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I think that's exactly what they do! They prioritize vehicles that will bring them more money.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    So I've transitioned from anxiously waiting for MY VIN to anxiously waiting for ANYONE to get their VIN. I don't recall the last time I've seen somebody announce that they've received their VIN in here. So I turned to the spreadsheet. According to that, VINS have been still being assigned. But...
  42. PinSeeker

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I agree. I was pre-approved the same day I ordered. Last Monday it expired. At this point I'm just going to wait until I get my VIN before applying again. I'm also planning on going with DCU.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Looks awesome! Where did you get this from?
  44. PinSeeker

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I find it extremely strange that I haven't seen anyone on here receiving an assigned VIN in quite some time. At least none that have been reported. Even the spreadsheet isn't showing any new VINs. I'm hoping on April 1st we're going to see those VINs start rolling through again.
  45. PinSeeker

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Interesting and congrats! I have the same config except with the 18" aeros. I've called a couple of times to see if they had any in stock and they always said there are a couple just with the 19" sport wheels. I think the the sport wheels are more widely available.
  46. PinSeeker

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    In my opinion, that's BS and they need to do something to make up for their mistake. If it were me, I wouldn't let this one go.
  47. PinSeeker

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Is it just me, or does it seem like VIN assignments have been haulted? I feel like no one has received any VINs in several days. Maybe because of end of quarter chaos and they're trying to deliver existing cars that have already been assigned?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    For me, there are quite a few. I was able to get 2 test drives in, and my favorite things are as follows: 1) Performance - extremely responsive throttle, probably the fastest car I've ever driven.You CANNOT find any other car at this price point that offers similar performance. 2) Ride quality -...

    Perhaps changing trims is not considered a configuration change?
