    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I only got a text from my SA saying Vin had come and that I’d get a call from corporate to go over the final details like insurance and payment. I got my loan through DCU so was able to give them the tracking for the check and upload my insurance. Insurance is $90 a month but I’m an old man so...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    The Boost50 is by Ingenext and has a bunch of other features included beyond the boost including drift mode that is typically reserved for Performance cars. Comes out of Canada and for me it was worth taking the shot. Cost $1100 but they have sales throughout the year, so I got it discounted by...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I thought I’d come back and spam you all from the other side as I wait for TJ to cross the finish line. Yesterday I got the Boost50, for the new Ryzen chip, that just dropped from Ingenext. Do so at your own peril, as there are horror stories of how Tesla can take any issue on your car and...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    They did the same to me TJ and I texted the day before and they made it the first prep of the day and I was able to pick it up an hour later. They were grateful I came and got it. I think there is just a disconnect between local and the home hub.

    Whahooo. Congrats TJ. You have made it a more exciting adventure for sure and even those of us who had graduated weren’t going to leave until your auto came to fruition!

    I don’t doubt it buddy, but you will be with me driving by those gas stations by the end of the month just laughing at them spending 5.19 for gas while you go 120 mph wasting you range because it costs you $4 to ’fill up’ at night!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Lol. I bought a cheap pressure washer at Sam’s ($40 off right now) and got the rain X spotless car wash and tried to wash on a 90 degree day in the sun. It’s not spotless and dried before I could hand dry, so ended up streaky. I know it’s my error, but it’s just not me to sunbathe outside while...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Having now driven 300 miles (and yes I need to grab a computer and update the spreadsheet still). FSD is definitely worthless for a person who likes speed. Autopilot is limited to 80. Note you can push it to 90 if you stay with your foot on the accelerator but if not you are limited. In AZ where...

    The trailer was pulling in as I was leaving at the Glendale, AZ show room.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Christmas came one day early and looks like it’s coming for others too. 257 Vin, Matrix lights - people there are clueless why this is even a question. Michelin tires, gaps look good. I would say the thing I’m most impressed with having now driven 25 miles is the sound. I had Bose systems in...

    I was on the same page as you but it’s a save of around $800 over 5 years for a $55k loan. I’m just setting up a transfer back to Wells when it posts.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    We are talking the first specific date range. You can see if mine delivers on Fri as planned I will come in right at the end of my official range of 4/22-5/20. As I’ve watched over the last 3 months it’s crazy how wacky people’s date changes can be, and then settle right where they were...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    100% correct. In 2 hours I had restarted things with DCU and even already had tracking for the check going to Tesla before they called with my appointment at 10. The car was added to my insurance by 1pm.
  14. JB from the AZ

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    For reference mine was built on Sat. I checked source code Sat and Sunday until around 11pm and still nothing, and woke up at 5am pst and had a Vin (I also verified it in source code searching “insurancef” Mon morning just to verify I had been doing it correct). That said I’ve seen it work the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    When I met with Tesla to schedule my appointment they said after my delivery I have 24 hrs or 100 miles to report initial defects.
  16. JB from the AZ

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yep. I had the same today and in the olden days when you used to purchase from a store they would ask for proof of current insurance.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    And as someone taught us old timers and I pass it along to you. Use a CA address when you purchase so you pay no tax.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It’s interesting because that was my first question too. And he said he went into a system they call the garage and confirmed I had matrix headlights. If they are lying at least they are becoming more creative. Lol

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yes! If you’ve considered AB you need AB. It makes this car as fast as the RWD R8 that’s $150k. That’s fast.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thank you for getting the reference. 😜 I went running through the house just like George Bailey after his epiphany this morning. Looks like the 5am update had my Vin. I checked around 11 pm and it wasn’t hiding in source code yesterday. At 8am local i got the text that my vin was in and time...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    BOOOOoooo. I just figured…. It does appear they are going in order aren’t they with Scottsdale receiving it last week with OD dates of 2/12 then me at 2/15 and now you are on the clock my friend. By the way DCU is great, but I’m not transferring my deposit over to a bank that doesn’t have...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Did I call it? Oh yes I did and I even looked at source code last night to verify if it was hiding but guess what I woke up to this morning, “You wonderful old building and loan”!!! Vin 257 and a delivery window of 18-22! T-J- tell us you also have some good news!
  23. JB from the AZ

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    You know I am AZ brotha, tomorrow also. Talked to Glendale this week and they felt confident it was coming in the next two weeks. I’m thinking we both get Vins tomorrow. After the suns game tonight I can use a pick me up.
  24. JB from the AZ

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Scottsdale rolling. Now we need the west valley. Congrats!
  25. JB from the AZ

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Interesting that we both start our window again on the 16th. Maybe there is a convoy acoming to Glendale finally.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Wow. I do love the red with the aero wheels. Congrats!!!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    AZ pride! Congrats. Glad it was seamless.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    For a name like SkunkApe, you have quite a pretty and well organized signature line.

    Search “insurancef” in the source code

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    As the wheels turn in our daily Tesla soap. My 2 weeks got changed to 10 days, and of course they picked the end of my 14 days to change it to. Day 87 and no Vin. But good news. Today must be early Father’s Day because I was just selected to ditch work and find the perfect swimsuit for my soon...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Hold steady. I didn’t get my first update until I hit my window and then they pushed a month. Now I’m in my two week window and still no update. Some of us get them and some of us don’t. Strange but true.
  32. JB from the AZ

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I plan on AB for Father’s Day too. I think the big thing for the matrix lights is making sure the camera only FSD and Autopilot works well in limited light, now that radar is gone. Looks great. Happy for you.
  33. JB from the AZ

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Love it. The Aero look great with the tint. Which puddle lights did you purchase? 2 or 4?
  34. JB from the AZ

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ahh T-J- Remember when that was us reminding newbies to add their signature line? You politely mentioning it, me saying something mean and sarcastic to the people that didn’t join until it was time to announce that they got a VIN number, and then being unwilling to provide the first three of...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I was bummed that I started my window today and still no love. OD of 2/15 so 86 days and growing. They said April when I ordered. I’m starting to feel like the old man on the blog. It would explain why randomly my replies include “GET OFF MY LAWN!” West Valley love. Come on down.
  36. JB from the AZ

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    A lot of late Feb getting theirs already. I’m praying for a Q2 delivery now too as my two week window opens tomorrow and I’ve heard nothing for the west side AZ.
  37. JB from the AZ

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Congrats! AZ in the house. Excited for you all. Roll some of that love to Glendale please.
  38. JB from the AZ

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Okay now I just openly resent you. My exact car ordered 1.5 months later and not only do they have a vin. You can pick it up tomorrow. Start working the phones COmike. No time to blog!

    Twinnies! I have the same window of 5/12-26. Let’s see those Teslas start rolling to the desert.

    So is the lesson on the lights is that Tesla is frugal and they’ll get away with whatever they can? First the mobile connector then the lights using some new old stock. People that don’t post here wouldn’t have known the difference. Maybe they were hoping no one would notice the missing...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I was thinking the same thing. The more of us AZ orders that cluster around a week or two the better it looks for us. Nice to see Raven as the wise old sage in these parts get his. It means we are next. I’ll start reviewing source code daily. It won’t be long now.
  43. JB from the AZ

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yea I would say at least two months, maybe more. There were a lot more sales in March than Feb and you beat us. Congrats on the car.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    New Signature update today. Got my two week window! And I’m eerily close to the end of my initial EDD of course. For those that have no updates at 60-70 days. I was one of you with no updates until the first day of my initial EDD. I’m not going to lie. It feels better to get some action than...

    Yep we need a white on white and MSM on black for the 2/15 orders from the AZ

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Could be because you haven’t created a signature line with your order info here on the blog. They see everything!

    And even a greater chance it won’t have the global lights so you’ll have to punt anyway.
