I gave American Family a quote from USAA and they matched it. It helped that it is bundled into a policy with two other assets (house and another vehicle). I pay the equivalent of $140/mo for my M3P for pretty robust coverage. Also in WA.

It isn't LFP. It's a slightly less energy dense NMC battery pack made by LG.

Check the LR waiting room post. This model is not shipping with an LFP battery pack or HW4.

Me too buddy. I'm a sellout. Still had no VIN and saw a P for $3200 off in inventory and snagged it. I pick it up Saturday. Already placed an order to swap in a set of all season 19s early next week. I guess I don't belong in this thread anymore. Enjoy your cars everyone! Thanks for all your...

I like Waiting For Tesla for the additional details on build date, ETA, etc. I think generally cars in inventory aren't at their final destination yet.

I've got a blue, white, and two MSM within range of me. I'm having flashbacks to January when the right combo never appeared. At least I've got an order in so I don't have to fight someone for it.

First time I've seen a bunch of LRs in inventory at once since February. There are currently 173 available across the country. Interesting!

Nice choice! So maybe color plays a bigger part than location. I have to wonder if the huge influx of new orders might affect our build dates too, now that all 3s can qualify for the full US federal tax credit. Edit: I will say that when I was looking to buy my configuration from inventory in...

I've always heard people further east get prioritized to ensure delivery by end of quarter. I'm in WA state so maybe that's why I'm at the back of the line? Maybe color choice too?

My EDD updated to today through 6/17. Come on now. Just get it over with and tell me July already.

Pretty sneaky, however they did it. I hope that means everyone who took delivery since April 18 has access to the full credit.

I just don't know how that can be when we know the China LG NCA and LFP battery packs don't qualify. Did the rules just change?

This just in--based on the language on Tesla's site, everyone is saying all M3s get the full federal tax credit now. Can that be a mistake?? What about the people who just took delivery of LRs that qualified only for half? Edit: Elon just retweeted it, so I think it's legit...wow.

I just noticed that the M3 order page now shows expected delivery times of June - July for all three trims. Didn't the RWD and P show a one month window for the past several months? Makes me wonder if there is indeed an upcoming production pause for a refresh/HW4/anything else they aren't going...

Black/black/aero. It might be coincidence, but I noticed a couple folks who ordered red reported VIN assignments pretty early.

Nice! Order date clearly does not impact VIN assignment in the slightest.

Not that it's particularly groundbreaking or surprising, but my EDD just shifted out one day for the first time in a while to today through 6/11. I'm ready to get off this 4 month rollercoaster. 😅

Totally understandable, and you make good points that will be carefully considered once my VIN is assigned. I might have the benefit of just a bit more information on the refreshed version to aid me. At the end of the day, the only thing that matters is that you're happy with your choice...

Thanks so much for sharing with us. It's looking like this is indeed one of the in between models. Elon is expected to formally announce the refresh at the Shanghai factory very soon. Just read an article that stated the first prototypes just came off the line. If I prefer the new body style, I...

I'm finding it a little annoying to be in this information void where we know the changes are coming, but we don't know which of them are going to be incorporated into our orders. Now that there are more signs that Shanghai is winding down M3 assembly, possibly for the refresh, it's even more...

Yes, not sure where exactly. Another person in Arizona said they're taking delivery tomorrow. Looking forward to some concrete info soon.

Someone on Reddit reported that they received their LR order today with HW3 and a 73kW non-LFP battery pack. I find it a bit strange that the vast majority of us placed orders and got our delivery dates pushed out several times over, yet there's a very small handful who already received VINs and...

It's definitely confusing. Once I saw the order date, my first thought is it fit in with maybe a P order to delivery timeline. I know that delivery time is partially impacted by what part of the country you live in--maybe they're in a sweet spot that gets deliveries first?

Mine keeps shrinking because the first date in the window keeps passing, lol. Still showing today - 6/10.

I have that concern as well. Always a bit risky being the first in line for this kind of thing. But it would be pretty silly to halt production for this long, only to start it back up with anything but the latest tech etc.

That is really interesting. Pretty much an unheard of turnaround. Does your VIN indicate the build date?

I think you're comparing apples to oranges here. The LR you're getting was already going to be on the boat regardless of you reserving it. The US availability/sale/production of M3LRs is entirely different from Canada's M3LRs coming from Shanghai. If the vehicles came from the same factory, we'd...

Bahaha! Short. Considering they stopped officially accepting LR orders for about 8 months, and stopped producing them altogether for the last 4 months, it doesn't seem short to me at all. I didn't follow Tesla very closely when the S and X models were refreshed, but from what I've heard from...

Right. But does the battery info give us any indication that the Fremont M3LR will or won't be the refreshed model? I don't get where some folks are thinking 333 mile range = no Highland.

I'm seeing folks in other online communities using the new 333 mile range as proof it won't be Highland. Did I miss something? It doesn't indicate anything to me one way or the other, except what we already knew, which is that the battery pack is made elsewhere.

Maybe we just have less air resistance down here in the US 😅

This is my hope as well. And the official silence from Tesla is a little suspicious just because we know they don't formally announce refreshes until they're in production.

Aaand now it's 5/27 - 6/10. This thing is bouncing all over the place.

End of January 😅

My EDD just updated to 5/25 - 6/5. Hopefully we'll get hard proof of what we're getting here as soon as the first deliveries are made.

This is interesting. Internet sleuths believe this shrouded render presented at today's annual shareholder meeting matches up very closely with the current M3, conveniently leaving out the front and back end where the most exterior revisions would be seen. Elon mentioned it is past the design...

I guess I'm just a little cynical considering I placed my order in January 🙂. I think if all goes according to plan, I'll get mine in June. If there's some kind of hiccup or my location affects my delivery as I suspect it might (PNW), then July sounds more realistic.

Mine updated today too. I went from 5/21 - 6/25 to 5/23 - 6/20. At this point I'll be very surprised if I get it before June or even July.

It could still be true. 🙂 No one has seen the latest LRs yet. I don't think VINs have been assigned to anyone.

I stumbled across an article quoting a "trusted source" that shares my speculations/optimism (dated April 17): "Interestingly, in the US only the RWD and Performance versions of the Model 3 can currently be ordered. The Long Range variant will likely return when the Project Highland Model 3 is...

A few thoughts of mine about Highland timing speculation: 1. All our information thus far (leaks, spy shots etc.) can be classified as unverified rumors. But doesn't it tell us something that the frequency of these rumors is increasing? 2. Someone who placed a recent M3LR order had an initial...

Yeahhhh I'm going to need to see some other improvements offsetting the reduced range to go forward with this purchase. Kind of ironic to reduce the range of the model that was supposed to be geared towards...wait for it... increased range. 🙄

Looks like Canada's LR range is going to come in at 534km which is 331.8 miles. https://fcr-ccc.nrcan-rncan.gc.ca/en#VehicleReport/28557

I agree that uncertainty around the current LR and its new range is making buyers hesitate. I think they would be less hesitant if they knew exactly what they were getting (and if it was some kind of refresh, they might overlook the price misalignment and range decrease). I have to wonder if...

Tesla Denies Rumors About New Model 3 Production Starting Soon As per usual, Tesla doesn't want to admit a refresh could be imminent. I don't blame them since it would undoubtedly impact current sales.

Found an interesting tidbit in an article about Canada's MYP changes that sheds light on Tesla's employee communication practices: Source article: Tesla mysteriously reduces Model Y Performance range in Canada, hinting at another import coming soon from China

I'd like to be able to trust what that SA told you, but I'm a little skeptical about how much info is shared with them in general. There's a reason we don't tend to know about changes until after customers receive a vehicle with revised features. My SA was also certain I would get my LR two...

It doesn't make sense to me that Tesla would halt production of the LR for months, only to bring it back temporarily with batteries that don't qualify for the full federal tax credit, then take the line down again later this year to implement Highland updates. Obviously there are a lot of...

Tesla finally kicked out an email a day after the design resubmit requirement came out in the app. No mention of why the range was changed: "We’re excited to let you know that your order for a Model 3 Long Range All-Wheel Drive (order#) is in progress and will be available soon. There have been...

For me, I think the Y is ugly and I don't need a vehicle that large.
