    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I made this one. It's probably way overkill for many, but I pulled together every main checklist online into one and then even added a few items of my own. Just skip the ones that don't matter to you, but if you can pass this entire list then your car is solid...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Top left of driver's side door sticker will tell you month and year only, but not day. VIN only tells you year and factory location where car was built. But lots of Tesla employees have access to that info so you could text your SA, use online chat, or call/drive down to your service center and...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Almost certainly not a reject. My VIN is 342 and my car was built only 14 days ago (what the SA told me and also was verified via an OBD scanner once I got the car, seen at the bottom of this screenshot here). If you see people with 354 or 356 or whatever while you have a 352 it's more likely...

    Vendor Official Tessie app talk

    With regard to sleeping problems, I too had sleep issues due to a [possible] bug on the Tessie website. Some background, various attempts to fix, followed by the eventual solution below, in case it helps anyone: I took delivery of a brand new Model 3 Performance just 10 days ago. Before I left...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I did not receive a voucher and mine did not include the mobile charger when I took delivery a few days ago. When I asked about it while signing the paperwork, the SA said "The website states that no charger will be included" and left it at that. She wasn't rude about it, but I had to internally...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    You have 100 miles to report anything that you feel should be fixed and you can just do it via the app. They'll review and let you know if it's worthy of being fixed by them or not. When I picked up there weren't even any service staff to report anything to anyway, so I just reported one thing...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Not a single report of any Model 3 Performance trims not getting the matrix headlights since April or May, they all have them. It was the SR and LR trims that were a 50/50 chance of not having them. If you ordered a Performance then you'll get the matrix lights. Although AKAIK, regulators in the...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    So... I actually took delivery today. Got a VIN just 48 hours ago with delivery scheduled on Monday (5 days later), but got a text this afternoon from Tesla saying "wanna come grab it today instead?" Car quality was great, no panel gaps anywhere and only the tiniest imperfections that I could...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Check that it doesn't have a bunch of miles and go over the delivery checklists (plenty of them online) and if everything looks good then you're fine. If you want I could even send you my excel checklist if you want; I basically aggregated everyone's list online into one and then added several...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    If you actually paid that 77,190 price then you got charged the full $12,000 for FSD, my guy. The price is broken out as follows: 62,990 - Current price for Model 3 Performance without estimated savings (you can go configure this yourself on the website right now) 1,000 - Your seat upgrade...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    That was quick: VIN assigned last night (23rd), car arrives here in the Rockies on the 27th, actual delivery scheduled for the 29th. Since this room is for tracking and sharing so that others have an idea of what to expect, my total journey was right down the middle for averages and about as...

    Got a VIN today. 342xxx, Freemont VIN. App now shows expected delivery range of 8/27-8/31. OD: 7/01

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Ultimately, the trackers show that there isn't much difference in delivery timelines based on color choice. Pick the color you want and don't let yourself pick something you'd like less just because you might get the car a week sooner or later. A week is nothing. Months down the road when you're...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Also just received a 2-week window this morning (M3P/MSM/Black). For those keeping score: OD: 07/01/22 1st EDD: 9/3 - 10/15 2nd EDD: 8/22 - 9/26 3rd EDD: 8/24 - 9/21 2-week: 8/28 - 9/11 (2-week window assigned 49 days after ordering) To those who have recently ordered a M3P and want to get a...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Hah, not for people like me and a few others in here who are watching those who ordered after us already taking and scheduling delivery while we don't even have a 2 week window yet. Although again, a ~2 month delivery these days for a M3P is still wicked fast compared to most other car...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    So far every car has still come with a mobile connector. However, according to this article, that was only applying to cars built up until August 14 (a few days ago) and cars built after that date will be getting a promo code to use instead: Tesla issuing $200 promo codes instead of providing...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I ignored any in Canada since I figure that's a slightly different delivery/export process and would potentially carry a different timeline set from those in the US.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Seems the general windows are still holding well. For any who are curious, I've been keeping track of those in the US who ordered in June and into the first few days of July (the OD range of those seeing 2-week windows, VINs, etc right now). Ignoring the outliers (looking at you, flatbroke!)...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Tesla says not to use it on public roads in the manual and I've seen videos online where the car refuses to engage smart summon if it knows it's on a normal road. Probably because the car moves really slow when summoning and would be dangerous to any cars that come up behind it since it would be...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Definitely one of the faster transactions on this board, fully built and VIN assigned in 36 days with only 49 total days from order to delivery. I ordered before you and don't even have as much as a 2-week window yet.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Lots of reasons this can happen, too many to list here: Someone's financing fell through (rising interest rates, trade in appraisal is lower, etc) Someone was out of town and couldn't take delivery Someone flinched or changed their mind, happens a lot and not just with Tesla cars VIN is created...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Minor EDD update today. Almost not even worth sharing, but since that's what this board is for... EDD was 08/22-9/26 but this morning it changed to 08/24-9/21 (window start pushed back only 2 days, window end pushed forward 5 days). Clearly seems to be an automated algorithm that manages this...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    This doesn't help solve the mystery at all, but 3 or 4 of us on this board ordered 1 week after you and our current EDD is also 1 week after yours and we have different color selections. So it would seem this is just a generic placeholder date window for now. The 6-8 week window from order to...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    They are adaptive headlights that can change their brightness in blocks to not blind oncoming traffic. Works like this: They've been available in Europe for years, but US regulators have been slow to approve them here in the states. They've almost got the details worked out now and so some US...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Nothing officially communicated from Elon or Tesla, but in the crowdsourced trackers available online it appears that, since May, all Performance models are getting them while SR and LR models are hit and miss based on manufacturing supply.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    This is correct. Tesla is not your average car company and changes are made seemingly at a whim. For example, matrix headlights is a pretty major yearly upgrade in other cars out there and yet Tesla decided to add those mid-2022 out of nowhere. Many other examples with various Tesla model...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    There are at least 3 more of us on this board who ordered within a few days of you (between 6/29 and 7/1) and we all have the exact same EDD window as you of 8/22 - 9/26 which suggests it's just a generic placeholder estimate for us right now and probably nothing more than that. Just come to...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    While shopping for a vehicle is clearly a personal and subjective process and, thus, nobody's opinion is invalid, this post is spot on. Alternatives to the Model 3 are either a) simply unavailable any time soon, b) if they do show up earlier than expected dealers are then adding $10-20k to MSRP...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Generally it means you're going to receive your car in roughly a week or so and it's just in final transit to your location for you to take delivery. But shipping delays and other events can delay it. I say 'generally' because sometimes the 2-week window will still get kicked out another week...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Yes, had my first EDD change this morning. My OD was a week ago on 07/01 and original EDD was 09/03-10/15, but this morning it moved up to 08/22-09-26. Not yet the golden 2-week window so I would expect at least one more forthcoming EDD change. For reference, my order was a M3P, MSM/black, no...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Well... it's difficult to put a price on peace of mind, so if you have the cash and want to go for it then $5,800 for a full PPF job and 2 years of ceramic is good enough to pursue if your primary purpose is to keep the car protected from minor damage just for your own sake. Enjoy!

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    $5,800 seems to be a reasonable price these days, definitely not a ripoff but also not a screaming deal either. Decent price. If you want to wrap the car for your own sake to keep it sexy, prevent car wash swirls, and protect your baby then by all means go for it. But if you're doing it to...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    OD 7/1, M3P, MSM/black, no EAP, no FSD and, without disclosing too much PII, I live in a major city somewhere in the Rockies. Generic website ordering page said July-Sep before ordering, but right after ordering EDD was set at 09/03 - 10/15. Took me a couple days to finish the pre-registration...
