Oh, one more thing. Look up your electricity rate if you'll be charging at home & plug it into the app when you get your car. I've spent about $0.04/mile on electricity. Compared to my 17mpg truck and $5.xx gas I've saved over $800 the first month of ownership. That'll decrease dramatically when...

Figured I'd pop back in here. I ordered my car March 15 and was lucky to get one that someone canceled while it was enroute to Indianapolis. Unfortunately I have made every excuse to leave home and go for random drives, and the result is 2940mi in 30 days of ownership. No complaints about the...

Car feels complete now... windows tinted 5% with xpel/prime ceramic. 35% front windshield. Also installed some Puddle lights that project the Tesla logo and "Tesla" under all 4 doors when they're opened. Those boogers are a PITA to get out of the door! Before and after tint

I can't bring myself to paying for hubcaps. If I spend $ in that department, it would be on some actual wheels. I do agree with you though- they definitely look better than the aeros though.

I'm only sticking around to see if TJ ever gets a car. No seriously - if you guys were hesitant about the 18" aero's.... I was pleasantly surprised. I bought the center cap things that are 1-piece and cover up the lugnuts and center cap. They're kind of Star-shaped if you catch my drift...

You guys shouldn't worry too much about volume. If it's anything like Indianapolis, they can crank them puppies OUT! I showed up 5 minutes early for my appointment, and the Tesla rep came and got me at exactly 12:30. He put my temp tag on while I transferred some accessories from my wifes car...

The car "doesn't know it's there" so no risk of impacting the warranty. And it's legit just clips onto the wheel with the built in magnets so it would take all of 3 seconds to remove for a service appointment. I took it off to see the difference between driving with/ without it... completely...

Well, I finally graduated. This will likely be my last post here. Thanks for all the info and company while waiting. I picked up my car today from Indianapolis. Build date 4/23 with the older style headlights. The car is otherwise AMAZING & WORTH THE WAIT!! I did have to schedule a mobile...

For those of you waiting on the chargeport, you could be in worse shape. This is a picture from the roof at my work. Ford leases 15 or so acres from us to park fully built trucks that are waiting on chips before they can be delivered. They're at capacity and these have been on the lot at our old...

I knew I was special! 4/23 build with both - no chargeport & the old school lights!

It sucks man, I'm right there with you. Mine was built 4/23 and doesn't have the matrix lights. Hate to give you the answer you don't want but yes... mine was also shipped without the chargeport. Thankfully it was only a couple of days for them to install it. Arrived thursday/Friday & installed...

Fyi- not to kill anyone's dreams here, but not all Model 3s are coming with the matrix lights. There's another thread related to this but I'm not sure how to link it. Seems like there was a period starting on 4/23 and ending sometime on 4/25 where they switched back to the older style (still...

Thanks, yeah I figured based on my EDD it was going to be a long wait. If it wasn't June (which was questionable) I figured it was going to be August. The 1st month of each quarter seems to be nearly no deliveries, so July didn't seem realistic. Just glad someone canceled their order to allow me...

We wonder why these SAs are hesitant to share anything? The number of posts I've seen here that would piss me off as a Tesla employee is almost comical. Hey I don't have a VIN yet but I want to know right now if I'll get the matrix lights. Or the guys calling multiple agents or over and over...

Hey let us know how it impacts your EDD. I have pickup scheduled for Monday. I know my car doesn't have them. So long as there's nothing else obviously wrong with the car, I plan on accepting as the headlights aren't my biggest concern... even though I AM disappointed for the downgrade. BUT if...

TJ - what the heck man? You were already getting impatient when I first found this site/ forum?! I can't see your signature on the app (even in landscape) but seems like everyone passed you? Have you had any productive conversations with a SA? Was your profile complete the same day you ordered...

My SA wouldn't give any update how long it would take for charge port installation. Thankfully car arrived Friday and I'll pick up on Monday. Don't want to give you false expectations but this is how it worked in my case. I also feel like my SA was on her game mostly. She was able to get me into...

Mine showed the same until today when they called and said the car was ready. Unfortunately they called a little too late and I couldn't make it there before they close. They're closed tomorrow, so I'll go pick it up on Monday. Hopefully you don't have to wait too long for the charge port to...

I'm right there with you. Picking up Monday at 1230. Congrats!

Yall can finally quit reading my whiny ass posts about waiting on chargeport. Picking my car up on Monday at 12:30. It's finally happening!

$100 says your car is waiting on the charge port like mine. I have the same issue. They just keep pushing the first day of EDD 1 day every morning until the part comes in and gets installed. Sucks. They won't give you any info about when the part is expected. Asked my SA if there's a tracking #...

Lon Long range.

I I like your sense of certainty, but how did you come up with that date?

I What makes you say this? You got some "secret" info you wanna share?

Well, I'm still waiting on info from my SA. My car is in Indy, waiting on a charge port. She confirmed it doesn't have the matrix headlights. Built 4/23. Would be nice if they could at least tell me if they have tracking info on the chargeport piece. It only takes them 30min to install it...

Anyone have updated info on charge ports? Specifically curious to know about people with an assigned VIN, car waiting at delivery center for charge port to be installed... have your SA's been able to update you on how long the wait will be? I saw one reply earlier that they expected the part...

Where are you located? Sorry I still can't see signatures in the app (even in landscape)

Has your SA said when they expect your charge port to arrive? Mine didn't have an ETA but didn't expect it to take several weeks. Also when it does arrive she said it's only about a 30 minute job to install it.

I did tell my SA I was willing to take other colors, or even a P model if someone in Indy canceled. Not sure if that's what got me this VIN or if it's because the canceled one was the exact same spec I ordered and was headed to the same city already. I suspect the latter. Can't hurt to let your...

Ask your SA if they're waiting on the charge port to be installed. I'd be willing to bet that's why you can't schedule delivery yet.

I asked about that, but because I'm financing, the policy document has to list the finance company. Therefore showing a copy of my current insurance wasn't going to cut it. I went ahead and purchased a policy when they said my car was going to be available this week. Unfortunately now I'm...

Ok - technically true. But they started producing them with the Matrix lights. Which I thought were pretty cool. Now (in some cases) they're not. Hard to argue that's not a downgrade. I've been contemplating not taking delivery, but in the end, I think I'll just take it as-is. They're...

I've had 10 minutes to process the fact that my car isn't going to have the Matrix headlights now (born 4/23 vin 23970x) and here's where I stand. It sucks. But it's headlights. I've never cared a great deal about headlights to begin with. @XAEA-12 I can understand your position if you have...

My SA said my car does not have the Matrix headlights. It was "born on" April 23 Vin 23970x

Well.... what a DUCKING roller coaster. EDD was June 1 - July 6, but Saturday SA called and said someone cancelled and I could pick up this Thursday/Friday if I wanted to take the vehicle early! Of Course I said yes, but had some questions: Was my car one that was impacted by the...

I emailed last week too but still haven't had a reply except for the automated "We'll get back to you in 5 business days." Not overly concerned about it but would be cool to get $95 returned! Keeping it in perspective- I ordered the car before both of the 2022 price hikes and they didn't call...

Guys- count cancelations as a major reason for EDD changes too. An example- my last EDD was June 1-July 6. Then someone canceled and they assigned the car to me. I assume around the same time, someone was assigned the placeholder they had in queue for me originally... and then the dominoes...

My insurance for my wife's 2018 Ford Escape was $58/ month. With the same deductible and coverages, the Tesla is $248/ month. I have a clean driving record for the most part. Not sure how much I was paying for the Ford truck. AllState agent referenced the cost to repair these vehicles if in...

Glad I pulled you out from the shadows you creeper! Jk. Maybe we'll be there at the same time. Shoot me a private message on here if you schedule pickup this week. I'm about 1.5 hours away from Indy (closer to Louisville) so I'll enjoy a nice long maiden voyage the day I get to pick her up!

Any Indianapolis pickup folks in the room? FYI - the App shows May 14-17 EDD, but I confirmed twice yesterday with my SA that the truck will be there on May 5 & I could pick the car up on May 6, 7, or 8. She said it'll likely update in the app on Monday (tomorrow). If you have a similar EDD -...

Glad to hear this!!!!! Good for you!!!

If mine doesn't have the matrix headlights I'm going to have my beautiful 4 year old give them the "puppy dog eyes" and ask if it would be fair if they just enabled the acceleration boost for us instead. We'll be practicing this over the coming days. If it works I'm open to lending her to you...

So, are there any cool details I can find based on my VIN? 239700 if that helps. Hopefully I'm not sharing anything I should've kept confidential. I talked to my SA again and she said I should be able to get the car Friday or Saturday. Ordered March 15 will take delivery May 5. Can't be...

HOLY... *sugar*! MY HANDS ARE SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY! Amy from Tesla just gave me a bone! Apparently someone backed out of their order and my car is almost in Indy! Just got my VIN! Chargeport shortage didn't impact the car so it's ready to go!! My God it's finally over! Keep strong fellas...

It definitely wouldn't be my first choice, but the demo had only 480 miles on it. I'm guessing the miles-to-butts ratio is something like 50:1. I can live with 9.6 butts having touched the virgin driver seat if it saves me a couple of months agonizing over the ever- changing EDDs. But I...

Will you all stop with this?! I ordered black on black too and still have this June 1-July 6 EDD! LOL. In all seriousness though- good luck, hope you get your cars in record time!

That didn't last long!!

I just asked my SA what would be involved in shipping the Mt Kisco car to Indiana. I doubt it'll be available more than the 5 minutes she takes to respond though

Dang, you'll piss some folks off if that EDD holds, lol... I ordered a little more than a month sooner and EDD is June 1 to July 6
