My two cents. If initial heating of the wheel got you a little movement initially. Unless you're heating the wheel quickly enough and in the right spot to expand while not also heating up the hub, you may get somewhere. But once the heat starts to transfer the hub, you lose some of the...

Crickets. I guess my thinking is, if comfort wise, it is similar to stock, other than the aesthetic benefit of lowering (which may be enough), do you even notice the performance benefits if not tracking the car? Is it noticeable even during normal driving or only during more spirited/canyon...

Still on the fence on going to coilovers for aesthetics/daily driving performance on my 2022 M3P. A slightly lower stance and stiffer suspension seems like it would take this car to the next level as far as looks/fun but for $5K + if you add all the other bits (solid bushings, camber arms...

Was thinking about adding the mud flaps too. Maybe not. 😄

Looking to lower 2022 M3P. LIkely going with MPP Comfort adjustables. This is my daily driver so just curious how bad/annoying the scraping is with 1" to 1.5" drop? My previous Audi S5 is on coilovers and pretty low. Settled over a few years and I never raised it to compensate. Pretty much...

I think the 1" to 1.5" drop and handling benefits would really improve my 22 M3P. Used for long daily commute 3 days per week. Thinking I will get the adjustable comforts and the rear adj. control arms just to alleviate any tire wear concerns as suspension continues to settle over time. Any...

For me, they put the key cards in the center console. Not sure if the car was already unlocked before I accepted delivery with my phone. But might want to touch base with your SC if you have a concern with your phone not working when you pick up.

😁 So, in the crunch of my EDD going from Dec/Jan as of Friday morning to "You have 3 days to finalize everything and pick up your car", I did end up financing and insuring through Tesla so I could get everything done and pick up Sunday. Likely not possible otherwise to get all that done on a...

Anyone still following my saga. I ended up just opting to finance through Tesla today to insure that I could take delivery within the 3 day window requirement. Unfortunately I've been sick with strep throat since Thursday and still not feeling great. But will make the trip to the SC to pick up...

Good to know. After being on hold for over an hour and a half, someone finally picked up. They said they would put me me on a brief hold while they get in touch with the local rep that could help me. Putting me on hold cut me off. And right at 6PM when they closed. After holding for almost...

Yes. I just don't think the timing is going to work out and I don't want to be scrambling with CU Monday morning only to not get it done. I will likely just finance through Tesla and refi with the locked rate I have with my CU. That's assuming Tesla doesn't have an early pay off penalty?

One hour plus later. Still on hold with SC. The SC rep said they were closed on Monday. Benefit of the doubt, maybe she thought this weekend was Labor Day weekend? Because the SC hours are clearly posted on the Tesla site: Open Mon through Sun / 10AM to 6PM.

Here we go. EDD pushed to Dec 11 to Jan 22 on Tues. Then this morning around 11AM, out of nowhere, I got a text stating VIN assigned (344XXX)! After having two pre-approvals expire on the portion that I'm financing, I followed the sound advice of many in this thread to wait until I had a VIN...

Bubblehead, Great post and feedback. Very helpful. Thanks for taking the time. Hopefully others will also chime in. Might be a topic for new thread.

Regarding range, I thought the current recommendation was to only charge to 80% and not to let it go below 20% to maximize battery range. Latest Youtube video I saw had the real world range of the M3P at 280 mi from 100% charge running at a steady 70 mph for the duration of the trip. So if you...

The last and only time I reached out to my SA, they said that my production date was set for 9/5. Then when my EDD again pushed to Dec/Jan this morning, I called just to ask knowing that any info I got may not mean anything. All they said was "Yes, your currently delivery window is Dec 11th to...

Interesting. Because before my EDD pushed to Jan/Feb this morning, the last person I talked to at the SC said that my scheduled production date was 9/5.

I know this latest date push I got may also signal that a 2 week delivery window is eminent. But like Flatbroke and others, dates have changed many times and many have got to the point where they were questioning their decision to order. Most of those folks have since received cars. Some of...

OD - 6/18 here in SF Bay. Before this morning, EDD was Sept 12 to Oct 17. This morning, Dec 11 to Jan 12.

Day 54. Another update. See sig. Not even sure what these dates mean anymore.

Congrats again. Hope it ends up being worth the wait for you. Gotta laugh about the exposed trunk lid. So Tesla.

Good Lord it's about time! Saw your latest sig update with an 8/19 to 9/2 EDD and was waiting to see if you were going to cancel. Looks like CA VIN#2 since the end of June! Congrats!

Congrats. My exact spec. Makes the wait even harder. Here in CA with a 6/18 OD and still waiting for something/anything. prabhat_ad got the first VIN I've seen for CA since the end of JUNE! Congrats to you as well! Worried the majority of us CA folks are going to have to ride this out...

See link below. It seems they DO still do this. So I'm not sure us west coast folks are doing ourselves any favors by ticking the "paying cash" box if you're planning on financing or even if you're not. They might push those that are paying cash to the very end of EOQ deliveries since they...

Yeah. You're west coast too so may join the rest of us that live just across the road from Tesla. They won't send us a car until the end of the quarter when it's too late to ship it anywhere else and still get the sale in for the quarter. Regardless of when you ordered. I still haven't seen...

Starting week 7 since my order and I just got ANOTHER push out today. See sig. I don't think I've seen any Californians get VINs or delivery dates since EOQ. Pushed my EDD out a month! Seemingly to position me for an EOQ local delivery to make their numbers. WTH. Is there any other way to...

On the blind spot thing. Wasn't even aware that was a thing until a few recent posts. When I test drove the Model 3 for the first time a couple months ago I remember saying to myself when pulling out of the dealer parking lot "man, I can't see anything out of the back window". And when I went...

Kind of a car guy too. Didn't think I would ever warm up to the idea of owning an EV. But now I need another commuter to get me through hopefully the last 5 to 7 years of my working career. Especially with what's been going on with gas prices. Model 3 seemed to strike a good balance all...

Flatbroke, I just don't get it. So now you have an EDD of 7/23 to 8/6 and still no VIN? It seems there may be something to Tesla prioritizing distant deliveries and saving the local deliveries for EOQ? Has anyone local received a VIN/delivery date in Q3 yet? Scary since we're only 1/3 of...

Very interesting. You ordered two days before me, same configuration, and are in Chicago and I'm across the highway from the Tesla factory. So, Flatbroke's situation aside, I would hope to see something in the next few days.

The question is, when do they START sending VINs to the west coast 😁 !

42 days in and just got my second EDD update. See sig. Not really blowing my skirt up. Hope to see a few more pull-ins in the coming days/weeks.

Still no change on my dates. End of August to early October. Has anyone called and changed their delivery to "pick up in Fremont"? Is that even an option? I'm thinking if there isn't a full truck of cars ready to deliver to wherever your local delivery center is (in my case the central...

Model 3 Performance (Black Ext/White Int): OD 7/16/22. EDD 8/5/22 - 9/2/22. Current EDD 8/5/22 - 8/17/22 You ordered on 7/16 and you already have a two week window? And I see another ordered on 6/25 with an 8/17 to 9/17 DD. Both east coast. I ordered on 6/18 and my EDD still has not moved...

I ordered before that and still have not received a two week window. In fact, your initial EDD is before mine even though you ordered almost 10 days after me. But apparently these dates don't mean much. Saw another post from someone that ordered LR on 6/4, switched to P on 7/7, and already...

Can everyone please put their order date, configuration, and EDD history in their signatures?

Sorry to hear that Sorry to hear that Flatbroke. I was starting to think that you were planted here by Tesla. Like "I know you've been waiting a while but at least you're not THIS guy". And I'll admit, it's been frustrating seeing all these folks that are just now switching from Base/LR to P...

Wake up, coffee, refresh order page 10 times before lunch, verify no EDD change, come here to vent, repeat. I'll skip the vent today. Did ANYONE get an EDD update for VIN today?

I would agree with both of you. And I am more at peace with my choice knowing that others have also done their research and determined that the M3 is still maybe the best EV option all things considered. As mentioned, I found myself in a position where my daily commuter needed more service...

Thinking the same thing. All these dates seem to be going in the wrong direction. Need to vent. Been refreshing the overview page waiting for a date to change for the last 3 weeks. Now it seems that between all the new orders for Ps and the folks that are switching their orders to Ps to get...

Learned my lesson getting pre-approved for loan before getting a VIN. I thought based on how quickly others were getting Ps and the fact that I'm literally a stones throw from the factory, getting pre-approved financing in early June made sense. And I wanted to see what kind of rate I would...

Yes. I would like to know what caused the problem as well. They should have been able to look everything over and tell you what likely caused the problem. Bad breaker, loose connections. Did they not put it on a dedicated circuit? If for some reason you were drawing more current than the...

Broken record here. Still no change on my EDD. Ordered 6/18. EDD still 8/26 to 10/7? My cousin is a contractor at Tesla. He said the shut down for maintenance was only supposed to go through Thursday and that ops would resume Friday 7/8. Probably takes a few days just to get things back...

Color decision was tough for me. The car the Tesla is replacing is black (Audi S5). Already have a grey SUV. White too common here in Fremont. Red too flashy for me. Love the Blue but think I may get tired of having a blue car. So black it is.

M3P / Black ext / White int.

Ordered my M3P on 6/18, EDD June - Aug 2022. Pushed to Aug 26 to Oct 1 on 6/22. No change since! My turn to feel the pain. Commuting in a Tacoma at 17MPG is not ideal. Was hoping/expecting to have a tighter delivery window by now.

While waiting for a delivery date I'm just soliciting others thoughts/opinions on using an M3P for a 150 mil round trip daily commute. Most would agree that spending $70K plus on a car that's just going to rack up the miles doesn't make sense but at this stage of life, and with spending so much...

I thought I had a handle on deliveries for Ps after reading through the forums. And even though a LR probably makes more sense for my commute/use case, I opted to go Performance right off and placed an order on 6/19 thinking worst case I would get a car in June/July. Was seeing a few others in...
