I never went there before. Although mine just says it’ll have a location once scheduled. Interesting you’ve got one.

Where are you seeing a Delivery Location? My app doesn’t show anything like that

Would definitely recommend assuming EDDs are "random dart at a dartboard" values. They change fairly often, swinging by months at a time. Once people start getting VINs, then maybe they'll be more reasonable guesses. So that first batch of people getting VINs (whenever that happens) will be...

When you say you got a date... Do you mean your app is showing "Delivery Scheduled for June 7th", or that an advisor looked on their screen and says "We think June 7th"?

EDD slipped to later for me today. Was May 4th (Yesterday) to 18th. Now May 11-25. I do appreciate the obvious honesty with the start of the window. If they day-by-day slipped the window start, it's not realistic. Delays suck, but at least it's believable being a week out for the start and...

Thanks for the clarification. Thought I heard 30 but as I didn’t do them myself, I could totally be misremembering what I heard on it.

I think you’ll find the general consensus online is to wait. EDDs swing wildly and financing terms expire in 30 days. Then you’d have to reapply.

I think there's been some reasonably good evidence they do prioritize repeat customers for earlier deliveries. In the early days of Model 3, they 100% did, even announced that those with Model S/X previously could jump the queue and get a 3 quickly. Personal opinion: It's the monkey. My EDD...

Wowza, same-day VIN and Delivery! Living near the factory clearly has some nice advantages :).

Highly suggest waiting to reapply until you get a VIN. Otherwise, could expire again, each being a hard pull on your credit.

Thanks for the info! And ouch at that nearly $450/tire. I knew they were gonna be pricier, but sheesh!

Stupid question (I have "wheel blindness" in that I see tires as round things, and that's about it).. Is there a huge difference between the 19s and 20s that it's such a talking point? From what I gather, 20's not good on snow/ice, nor dealing with potholes. As I live in Phoenix (snow/ice not...

Love hearing White Int is being delivered!

Yup, crushed it all. And yet we are all buying new again! Makes you wonder. 🤔

Damn I just figured out what Elon meant when he said "Appreciating Asset" a while back... He's APPRECIATE it if you'd let him STEAL it back from you!

I think all of us with trade-ins are getting hammered a lot by Hertz dumping so many EVs (a lot of Teslas) out of inventory into the market. Basically, supply got flooded, so prices go down for us. :-(.

I'd be surprised if it's December before any deliver for you guys. You get your vehicles from Giga Shanghai, and I remember seeing a story of a flyover showing a bunch of Model 3 Performances being loaded near a dock or something. So that must mean they've started producing and exporting them...

Guessing no VINs today, even with some Estimated Delivery Date windows starting either today/tomorrow.

That's a LOT of Tesla's you've got! I sure wouldn't bet on the start of your EDD window being accurate (2 days from now). I doubt they'd even have a schedule slot open on this short notice. Agreed though, hopefully sooooon! :).

I suspect it comes down to your tolerance to want to get back to driving more quickly, or rely on the tow truck. Personally, I threw one of the inflators with the sealant in my frunk and it just kinda lives there. I can use it to inflate tires (without the goop sealant) as they tend to lose...

Sounds like it's State-by-State differences! Georgia law must be protecting you guys from "Order Fees", or something. My contract (Arizona) shows no such deduction. Guess you guys in GA are a bit lucky!

Pretty sure it didn’t take anything off for mine. My order agreement shows 52,990 which was the website price at the time of my order. If you continue to the “place order” page, you’ll see the website does indeed add the $250 fee to the car price (currently 53,990). While not a lot in the grand...

I'm pretty sure the $250 is indeed a fee, and not a deposit. At least in Arizona. Look at your Order Agreement document, it shows underneath the subtotal line, and adds a line called "Order Fee", much like the "Destination Fee", and both are added into the"Subtotal" in order to create the...

I suspect it does not hold it up. But you could always decline the offer and then add it back once the vin is assigned, and shop around to make the final decision. Same would be true with any financing terms.

Will be very interesting to see when people start getting VINs assigned. And, of course, to see when the first deliveries start!

Haha @ them starting the date "Today". Like that's even remotely in the realm of possibility without VIN assignment or an appointment!

I just had a similar update too. About an hour ago it was Jul 4-Aug 15 as well, and now I'm May 4-May 18. Without a VIN assigned, there's almost zero chance May 4 is real (5 days away). The EDD Monkey randomizer might have just struck again!

You're definitely going to be limited to the routes the Navigation system chooses. I think (?) I heard that Tesla now has the ability to select between a few alternate routes when you tell the car your destination. But if it's a very wonky route that an algorithm would find illogical, then I...

Thanks for the info! Very glad they’re holding with honoring it!

I'd pretty much just Skip to #6. Tesla changes/plays with prices pretty frequently. Order a car at a price you're comfortable with, and then just enjoy it! Exception I'd say is if they do a MASSIVE price cut, like I think a while back they lowered S/X pricing by like $10k overnight or...

Excellent point on financing. Tesla will be more than happy to do a hard pull on your credit every time the application expires, which will certainly lower your score, perhaps giving you a higher rate.

1,000,000% in flux! Forums are filled with stories (mine included) of Estimated Delivery Date (EDD) shifting up, back, up again, day-for-day slips, then back multiple months. Once a VIN is assigned, it's generally more locked-in, but nothing is guaranteed. Logistics schedules or transport...

Gotcha! Yeah I never grasped how one "configured" one of those since they don't seem to be possible on the website. Hence, the "Stealth" I suppose! :-).

I've heard people talk about the "Stealth Performance" vehicles before -- how do those even happen? Am I correct in that it's a Performance vehicle with 18 or 19 wheels (and not the 20s)? The Website configurator doesn't even offer that as an option (pick Performance, and there are no wheel...

Mine is July-Aug, no joke. Can’t figure why an order from Feb has a worse date than current website estimates. But, that’s Tesla!

Eligibility won't have anything to do with whether you owed or got a refund on taxes last year. It's based on your Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) threshold values. When they say it's "nonrefundable" (confusing word IMO), what they mean is that you can't get a net payment from the government on it...

Just saw this from some random Twitter post. Had to share for a laugh!

Will be curious what you get when it updates. Hopefully it’ll pull up for you

That could be the case (tester batch). If so, look at the good part: being in the “after they’ve ironed out the kinks” group! At least you’ve got lots of company with us waiting. 🤣

Will be curious to see if it updates your EDD overnight. Although the July-Aug date (same as mine) is still LATER than the website currently shows anyway, and it's been that way for a few days now. Also, I suspect the "Performance earlier than AWD" dates on the website might be a fluke too...

Also hoping for Acceleration Boost too! I'm also hoping they'll bring back FSD Transfer again before my VIN is assigned. But, since I read Elon flat-out said "no" to making FSD Permanent, I suspect that "soon" is the least likely time it'll come back. Honestly I half-wonder if they brought...

Just got a reply from a Service Advisor on the app, they can’t change an order to a Performance without losing the FSD Transfer. I figured that would be the reply, just letting others know that’s what they said. So just a waiting game until VIN assignment to see if they bring back FSD Transfer...

Congrats! Since they now have a FSD version that works on the new M3's, are they still making you agree to the "Car doesn't have Ultrasonic sensors, using Tesla vision, blah, blah blah..." thing, or just assigning a VIN without that?

Even for those who aren't needing Winter tires, the cost-of-ownership (measured purely in tires) will 100% be higher for the Performance than for the RWD/AWD. Basically 20" tires cost more than 18s. That is something needling me about "not switching". Plus, as I understand it, a rougher ride...

I asked Tesla if they'd let me change my order (which includes FSD transfer) to a Performance configuration. One agent online "hung up" on me, just ended the chat. Called and spoke with someone locally who didn't know and said they'd research and get back with me. But will be curious for...

My suspicion is that they didn't make it "for Inventory", but rather for a customer who cancelled the order. Then they're left with the vehicle already shipped. In that case, it makes sense to reassign the VIN within the delivery area. Or, if nobody is configured for that, just make it...

Weirdest part about all of us getting these late (July/August) dates, is that the website is showing EDD of "June-July" if you go and configure your car (AWD, Ultra-Red, White Interior). Clearly Tesla has multiple systems that don't know how to talk.

Wondering if they made just one batch of white interiors (the ones getting VINs), and then found a new supply chain problem, with all the date moves today.

Hopefully. Tesla's systems and estimates continue to be a twisty confusing mystery! Haha

Ordered 02/05... My delivery date just pushed BACK! Was June 27-30 (something like that), now it's saying July 4-Aug 15th. Really surprised with VINs being assigned and others pulled up, that mine would go back. Maybe this is the "getting ready to assign a VIN and the system goes to current...
