    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Couldn't agree more. I went with Tesla with my eyes open and wasn't deluded in anyway. At the same price point, one should expect similar build quality but it's not. That's ok, but rather than simply accepting (as the previous poster did) it is important to voice one's concerns on such forums...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Well, when one pays 60 grand, one demands quality in return. These cars are not cheap. If they sold the same car for 1/2 the price, I am less likely to go through a checklist. Build quality is not the hallmark of Tesla, it is more like a Kia. Until we continue to voice our concerns and...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Picked up the Model 3 LR at Fremont Factory (still beats me that I paid $1100 for delivery fee) on Tuesday in 103 F weather. Overall a good experience driving it. I want to thank ALL OF YOU for great discussions, insights, and tips I got on this forum. Here are few of my observations regarding...

    I guess we did, right? Mine are matrix headlights.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yep, I posted this question few weeks ago. The best answer I got was, "We in California subsidize delivery costs for folks on the East Coast. You are welcome!" :)

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    The same freaking day!! I got the VIN and a text to select delivery day and date last Friday. It also started my delivery pick-up window. I selected Tuesday pick-up but I wake up on Saturday to see it moved to Monday June 20th. Apparently, Tuesday was outside my pick-up window of 3 days. Not...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I have the same problem. Is it common to be rushed for delivery? With the banks closed due to the long weekend, I'll get my check from a credit union on Tuesday. My delivery is Monday at 6 p.m. but I am told that one has 24 hours to pick up the car. I am also told to scan the checks and email...

    Folks in SF - Bay Area, any recommendation on credit unions to get the lowest interest rates for financing? TSLA financing quotes 3.74%.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    You should get it soon. Not sure why it's taking this long for you. If you see more SF-Bay Area folks (me included) get their VIN and delivery, maybe it's time to talk to SA for some explanation, at the very least why it could be happening with your order.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Got a VIN today (294XXX) along with link to pickup. Surprisingly they gave me just two days (06/20-21) for a pickup.Picking up on 21st at Fremont. BTW, I never received this 'JUNE' text from Tesla. Not sure why. But who cares! 😂

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I was just thinking of the SAME few hours ago!! Especially, when I see folks with similar OD but black seats getting their VIN and delivery date. I think we are entering a state of mind where we question each option we took or should have taken when ordering. 😂🤣 When will this excruciating...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm in the same boat with OD of 03/24. But it might be a good thing. :-) With greater push to get the cars out at the end of the quarter, one may see more defects (e.g., panel gaps, paint chips etc.). Or maybe I'm just convincing myself of this due to impending lack of delivery this quarter. 😂🤣

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Well, it is Tuesday. @Maric what did you get? Mine moved to June 16th - June 27th. So, effectively the window shrunk. Not holding my breath but this may be indicative of impending VIN. Fingers crossed!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Well, on average it takes 90-100 days for delivery (check the excel file with scatter plot that shows this trend). Based on when it is ordered, check the quarter that falls around that 90-100 days window. Late-May/June OD will see delivery by the end of Sept. Folks, who ordered in March...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Folks in CA get their ordered fulfilled by the end of the quarter. So, you should expect by end of September. I ordered mine in March and haven't received yet while those on the East Coast have received theirs. The EDD will fluctuate, sometimes wildly. At times it is madness to look at EDDs as...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yeah, I have a feeling that EDDs eventually converge within your original EDD window. Can someone confirm this hypothesis?

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    If we don't get a VIN by end of tomorrow, the start date of a 2-week window will shift to Friday of that week. So, expect to see 06/17 - 07/01. If that does not work, the start date shifts to Monday of next week and so forth. Just a theory.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yeah, this seems to be the current theory and got confirmed by recent Elon's emails. My OD is 03/24 and living in SF, I'd except to have DD by the end of this month. My current EDD is 06/13-06/27. Will confirm when I get it. :-)

    Sure, but for $1100 per car!!

    Appreciate the response. I was rather disappointed when the EDD got bumped by 3 months.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thanks for sharing. Strange that your EDD is earlier than mine given we are in the same area. As @ehartfiel mentioned, my EDD may change to something closer to end of June/early July (which was the original EDD). Yeah, I am picking up at Fremont. Funny, even when picking up CLOSE TO THE...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Anyone from the SF-Bay Area region, who ordered M3LR in March 2022, what does your EDD show? Wondering if they are also in September. OD: 03/24 EDD: 06/04 - 06/14 ---> 09/03 - 10/20 My Configuration: Model 3 LR Gray White Seats No FSD Thank you!

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Thanks for the explanation. That makes sense. Likely due to supply-chain issues, they bumped me somewhere to the end of 3Q. The sad part is, I had a low interest rate of 2.99% on the loan. With the offer expired, I'm not sure what interest rate I'll get. In this chain, someone got 5%. I read...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I'm not sure what is going on with my EDD. Any ideas? I was shocked and disappointed over the weekend when the EDD jumped. Location: San Francisco, CA OD: 03/24 EDD1: June 21 - July 13 EDD2: June 13 - July 5 EDD3: June 2 - June 14 EDD5: Sept 3 - October 3 October 15
