    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I have mine in Chill mode too. Otherwise I'd be flooring it constantly. Put it back to Standard mode when I'm taking others for a ride to demonstrate why they too should buy a Tesla.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My understanding is that you only need proof of current coverage on any other car. I uploaded to app a copy of only my current car's coverage. In fact I didn't even bind coverage on my M3 until 3 days after I picked it up (Geico has a 30 day grace period). Seems odd they would ask for proof...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I totally agree here. I just have basic AP and the slowdown approach to stopped traffic is so abrupt that I am at the ready to mash the brake pedal because it feels like it may not stop in time. Same issue whether I have AP engaged or just TACC. I thought maybe FSD Beta was better at this, but...

    Beautiful car! I really love the blue color.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I know how you feel. I've had my trusty 2004 Pontiac Vibe for 18.5 years. It's still in great condition and only 83K miles. I'm having a hard time coming to terms with parting with it even though I have no use for it anymore. When I bought it, I still had lots of hair, not so much anymore.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Will do! My SA at the local Service Center has always been very nice to deal with so I'm hoping I won't have any issues with them fixing these issues. The seat rattle is very minor and only occurs over very rough roads, doesn't occur if someone is sitting in seat. I kinda feel the seat issue is...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Not yet. Apparently, I did not inspect the car as closely as I thought. I also have significant panel gaps under the driver front & rear door where it meets the rocker panel whereas it's flush on passenger side. I would like to get this fixed, along with the mis-aligned trunk. But, I'm now 2...

    You will get a text message, something like this: Hi ZZ118, select your tentative Model 3 delivery appointment at tesla.com/schedule/RNxxxx Please select an appointment as soon as possible. If a delivery appointment is not selected, we may need to release this vehicle to another waiting customer.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    After seeing these pics, I went to check mine. And crap, mine is similar though not quite as pronounced. I totally missed this on my inspection. Mine also has the larger gap on left side. Perhaps team Blue is not so lucky after all. Anyone know how they would actually go about fixing this?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I’m not absolutely sure, but I think they would come by rail to Chicago, then by truck to St. Louis.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    You just need to upload a document showing you have insurance on ANY vehicle, it doesn't have to be the Tesla. I think you could even upload a blank PDF as I don't think any human actually verifies it. I brought my insurance proof with me to delivery, but they never asked to see it. I haven't...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Congrats on the delivery! Unfortunately, I think that interior fender paint issue is "normal" (really abnormal, but everybody likely will get it that way). That was one of the very first things I looked for, and mine was like that too. Let us know if they actually fix that one for you.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yes, they will include the J1772 adapter. But, I’m sure at some point in the future Elon will say we don’t need that either.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm happy to report that little Minotaur was born today and has been brought home. He is healthy and had absolutely no birth defects. It was a 2.5 hour drive to Highland Park near Chicago, got there an hour before my 3pm appointment. It was already there waiting for me, so started inspection...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Same here. My nervousness is from worrying (perhaps needlessly) that when I see the car in a short 24 hours I will find that the quality is bad forcing me to reject vehicle. So, nervousness, fear, and anxiety are really dominating my day today. Hoping it all turns out well for both you and me!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It’s kinda buried way at the bottom of Tesla support page in the FAQs: (Connectivity). What vehicles will continue to receive Standard Connectivity at no cost? All new Tesla vehicles ordered on or before July 20, 2022, will have Standard Connectivity features at no cost for the lifetime of the...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Pretty much my reasons for buying as well. Been driving my 2004 Pontiac Vibe for 18 years and it was time for a change. I only average 5K miles/year so an M3 was probably overkill, but after test drive I was hooked. I plan to drive the M3 for the next 18 years, or until I decide I want an MY...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Heads up for those with OD before 7/20 and you got your VIN recently. Take a look at your MVPA in Connectivity section. Mine says: “Standard Connectivity is included in your Vehicle, at no additional cost, for eight (8) years beginning on the first day your Vehicle was delivered as new by Tesla...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    You qualify for Mobile Connector and it should be listed on your Monroney sticker (assuming they didn’t actually lose your car and you ever get a VIN). Even if you get a $200 voucher, I presume there will be tax & shipping charges to order it which is added cost and people are seemingly waiting...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Congrats! I’m getting mine the same day at 3pm. I’m curious, how far are you from nearest delivery center that they would do Home Delivery? I wish I could get home delivery, but I have to drive 150 miles to Chicago.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I too am wondering whether I'll get one. Asked my SA last Friday whether they are still including a "grace period" Mobile Connector and he said they just stopped within past week. Not sure if grace period is tied to OD or manufacture (VIN) date. My car is supposed to arrive today at delivery...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Mine was two days after it left factory. Scheduled pickup for one week from today.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Got my VIN yesterday. Interestingly, it was only 1 day later than what my SA told me it would be when I talked to him on 8/6. He had also told me it would be ready for pickup 8/26 and the new EDD is 8/27-8/31. So the info available to him turned out to be pretty accurate.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Question for those of you getting the Mobile Connector included with your delivery. Does it just have the NEMA 5-15 Adapter, or does it also include the 14-50 Adapter?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    This was the same guy who I arranged test drive with in May. After test drive on May 16, he sent me text thanking me for stopping by. Placed order that day and I texted him back and he sent me the Welcome to Tesla Family text. So I just assumed he was my SA, which he confirmed when I talked to...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Given that's it's a two week window, you may want to reach out to your SA as they likely have more accurate info. When mine went to a two week window last week, checked with my SA and he told me I'd be getting a VIN 8/13 with a ready for pickup date of 8/26.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Congrats on the VIN! I actually wanted same color as yours, but opted to pay extra $1K for blue to get it 2 months sooner.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My config is M3LR | DBM | Black | 18" Aero | No FSD. Given your window went from 14 days to 12 days, I would guess you should be getting your VIN in the next 2-3 days. You definitely should be getting the VIN in less than 7 days, as that's when mine is expected and my window is still 14 days.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    My 1st post, this is an awesome forum! Summer went by too quickly. OD 5/16. Delivery window went from 6 to 4 to 2 weeks in last 10 days with latest EDD Aug 20-Sep 3. Today went to local showroom in Madison, WI and talked in person to my SA. They apparently have more info than we are privy to. He...
