    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    My wife was the opposite, after few pedal down launches she wanted to test out the back seat. Only problem was this wasn’t our first rodeo and our damn 6 year old was in the back in his booster seat yelling about the GD YouTube.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    No VIN and I’m still getting excited. Got sorted with my tint/PPF guy and he’s going to get me some protection for the 1.5 hours from the delivery site to his shop. Then I’ve got all the gear to start taking detailing seriously and I’m going to ceramic coat it top to bottom. Going to be fun!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Heck, I'm White/Black, ordered 4/27 and live in CA three hours from Fremont. No VIN here. There may be some CA bias, but they ship them everywhere. Stoked for you guys(& perhaps gals), please do share once delivered!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Hoping to use this as a good sign. Ordered 4/27, somewhat similar EDD history and have a current of 6/7-6/21. Also in CA and dammit, it’s my birthday!!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Went down and watched the SpaceX launch yesterday (it’s about an hour south of me). On the way home I saw two semis full of Teslas. Mostly MY but definitely saw a couple M3Ps heading south on 101. Stay strong people and go watch a SpaceX launch if you can, so friggen cool!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    For the love of all things holy…IT MEANS NOTHING!! It can and will change 3-6 times before anyone gets their car. It will move back and forth more times than Austin Powers executing a 3 point turn.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I’ve got the same order date, same colors but I’m in CA. A week ago I went from a May/June to Jul 11-Aug 22 and it remains there. Oh $#!+, I just double checked and it changed to June 7-21. Still no VIN. Stay tuned?

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Reviving this topic from yesterday…I found this lurking in the background of a pic that I believe is from China. So like many things on this thread, take it with a grain of salt.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    But basing anything on an early EDD is a fool’s errand. I’m sure his EDD will change 4+ times before he actually has a car. It will change to August and beyond and then will reel back in as a VIN nears. But telling someone to get in line and telling them how to feel is not real friendly. We...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Yeah, I don’t think that’s a thing. Mine updated a week before my EDD window opened. The most plausible explanation is a cruel drunk monkey that likes to do random $#!+ all the time. Sometimes that randomness shows some form of synchronicity or repetitiveness, but in the end it’s just a drunk...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Well that is encouraging for a fellow west coaster with a 4/27 order date. Albeit a completely different configuration, but I’ll take this as good news. Got my wall connector installed yesterday. Ordered some black out emblems for front/back. Anyone else going the storm trooper look on a...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    If you go to the registration tab of your delivery tasks and select “View”, you should be able to scroll to the very bottom and see the delivery location. I had posted about my issue with the site Tesla picked and after a stop at my local store, they were able to change the pickup location for me.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Ordered 4/27 - White/Black - Located in CA My EDD has been 5/28-6/25 for two weeks. Just updated to 7/11-8/22. I’m not going to sweat it and hope that is just temporary. So far (& historically) there seems to be no rhyme or reason to the EDD so why worry. Just as long as it doesn’t fall on my...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Looks like this is the same guy that posted the pics/vid to the Facebook private group. Seems like he has it, how he was able to get it done is the mystery. Cool to see someone get one. In the short time I’ve been here and having dealt with Tesla energy previously, I’ve learned that you don’t...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    So I just got back to the office and wanted to share what I was told... First thing's first, I was able to change my delivery location to the preferred location. This was after the associate that I was messaging me yesterday telling me that I could not make a change. So kudos to my local guy...

    Turns out they have a SG/W in the San Luis Obispo showroom. Got to check the seats and the overall car. Sure is a beauty.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I’m stopping by mine later this morning. Gotta discuss my aforementioned situation and fortunately my office is 5 minutes away. Hopefully have some good feedback to share. Same. That’s why I’m heading to the showroom. Some people need to realize that if they just answer the question fully the...

    It’s 5 minutes further but in a completely different direction.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Well that's annoying as hell. I had a reminder sent to make sure my pre-delivery items were all completed (despite an EDD of May 25-June 28th). So i messaged them to see if they could change my delivery location to the one 20 minutes from my house. The rep got back to me and said that because...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    That is very encouraging on a number of levels. - Black interior VIN!!! - EDIT: Sorry folks, I read what I wanted to see and I apologize. Never post and poo people, it’s not safe. - Order date not on 4/23 - West Coast delivery - That’s what I ordered (on 4/27) and I’m also on the West Coast and...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I mean you did order 2 weeks after a much sought after car was released. Also you have probably read that the EDD means nothing. Keep the faith.

    I sure like the look of that first pic. Hope we can setup the 20s like that. Real nice 👌🏼

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Everything will be given the eyeball test as best we can. If the headlight is off I will bring it up and either not take delivery or make sure that it has been noted and a repair scheduled to fix it. My plan is to make a day of delivery day.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    My wife and I are going to go over the car with a fine tooth comb before taking delivery. I gone over a few of those checklists that folks have posted online and will be using a modified version. There's also a fair amount of hope that any of the issues are not related to the paint and windows...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I plan to go straight to the Tint/PPF shop and plan to pick it up 2 days later. Those are gonna be a rough couple days but worth it in the end. So looking at how this is shaping up, it turns out Black interior was the WRONG answer. There I was thinking that it would potentially be quicker than...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Isn’t that something they would do to pump up lagging sales? Why would they ever do that when hype is high and people are excited to purchase the latest and greatest. My guess is the service center needed to fix something they broke or they wanted some extra time to clean the car after if...

    That's cool, makeyourself should be able to tell if that really is his car. Love seeing the manufacturing dates!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Am I showing my old man tendencies when I tell the board that I purchased tire chocks that I plan to keep in the trunk so that my wheels will never get closer than 10 inches from any curb? 🧐

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    My sales person was really knowledgeable. When I told him I would probably be ordering the Performance, he immediately got excited and was talking specs and features that had just been released 3 days prior. I was impressed. Now I'm also pretty sure he got fired since then, he may have known too...

    For those of us looking for more White/Black content, these two videos out of Thailand are scratching that itch real nice like. Every time I watch them, I am happy with my color selection.🤤

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Well technically the car has been announced but deliveries have not started. So there are no cars in any independent hands that would do any sort of comparison video. The only media has stemmed from a small group of people that attended a one day event that was pretty limited. Once deliveries...

    You have waited patiently and are about to be rewarded. Congrats, can’t wait to see it.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Or that no one is ordering white. That’s the only color you can really tell if it’s a P. Just the fact that there are some being produced and ready for shipping seems like a good sign to me.

    Hey, it looks good in the passenger side. 50% ain’t bad! If we were talking baseball they’d be headed to the Hall of Fame! I appreciate this forum. I got prompts to further my trade in and financing, but I know better after the education I’ve received here.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I'm curious when we start seeing cars roll out of Fremont. I'll definitely be checking on the YouTube account that does the weekly drone flyover (new one should be Friday). And also paying attention when on the highway, I see Tesla deliveries heading south down Hwy 101 on the regular. Very...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    If you go into your registration tasks on the App and choose to view the details, it will show you a Tesla location. How it got selected I do not know. I just think it was the closest before the one opened a few months back. That seems Tesla-like to not add their new location.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Just got an updated EDD. After showing “June 2024” since I ordered on 4/27, it’s now showing 5/28-6/25. I’m cautiously optimistic, but think it sucks for those that ordered earlier and are further away. Ordered White/Black. Located in Central CA. Now I’m worried about the delivery location...

    Plaid S or Highland Model 3 Performance

    Calling it a “failed assignment” and having never driven one, and likely never seeing one in person, seems like a stretch. You could have just said, “I don’t like how it looks and it’s only .2 seconds faster to 100kmh”. I think a Plaid is a dream car, but the new M3P is a lot of car for the money.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    In my limited time here and the fact that I ordered the same color combo three days later, I’m going to go with that is just the monkey doing his monkey business. Stay strong out there people!!

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    New member here and soon to be first time Tesla owner (not counting solar/Powerwall). I’m in Central CA (about 3 hours from Fremont) and my EDD still just shows “June 2024”, but I did not order until 4/27. I know that isn’t really what you are asking, but just putting in my two cents.

    Should I order the chargers separate from the car?

    I will second this. Ordered M3P that has obviously not been delivered. Chargers arrived 3 business days after ordering.
