    Tesla Body Shop repair - outstanding!

    Yes, Tesla did the work. My understanding is that they opened in July, but they aren't operating at full capacity yet (meaning that they aren't ready to do major rebuilds at this point). Tesla had me submit pics of my damaged car to one of their reps in Fremont. He did a preliminary repair...

    Tesla Body Shop repair - outstanding!

    It was Tesla’s own body shop located in the same building as the service center on Cedar Springs. I believe it just opened in july (one of ten initial ones nationwide).

    Tesla Body Shop repair - outstanding!

    It was painted at the factory. If there was any color variation due to different batches of paint, they were going to do additional blending with the pieces around it. Thankfully, it was a perfect match.

    Tesla Body Shop repair - outstanding!

    Another drive recently backed into the driver door of my Model 3. I was worried about how long the repair process might take with the current production issues (and wondered if it would be difficult to obtain the needed parts quickly). However, I could not be more pleased. As soon as I had...

    Texas Hold Up!

    We used the Waco one a couple weeks ago. It seemed to be having problems with several of the superchargers. After moving around to try 3 or 4 of them, we found one that worked perfectly. Others there that day were having similar issues.

    Texas Hold Up!

    I think that's key - "if the S is your daily driver." My spouse has primarily driven the S for the18 months we've had it. I've usually taken the Prius. So I have been pleasantly surprised by the ride on the Model 3 (especially after reading so many concerns about this ahead of time). Yes...

    Texas Hold Up!

    What time did you take delivery? You may have been there with us. There was a red going out during our 11 am appointment. Similar first day. One reboot. Still figuring out the phone as key. The delivery rep said it should work even without the app open (as long as the 3 was the last car...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Anyone need a USB-C phone charge cable? I already ordered a second lightning cable for mine, so I don't need to trade. Happy to send it to the first person that asks for it.

    Texas Hold Up!

    Worth the wait! Just picked mine up today. SO much fun to drive! Can't wait to take it on a trip. Configured 1/18 VIN 2/14 Delivery 3/15 Thanks for all the info, advice, and encouragement along the way. It was a big help!

    Texas Hold Up!

    That is great improvement in overall timing from mine. (Over eight weeks from configuration to delivery, if all goes as plan on 3/15.) Hope that means they've smooth out the process somewhat. Congrats!

    Thanks for letting us know! Do you remember what color the one was with duct tape?

    Texas Hold Up!

    I received my VIN four weeks (2/14) after configuring (1/17). Hopefully they have sped that part of since then. Scheduled for deliver a week from tomorrow (3/15)!

    Is the 4 week delivery time real time or Elon time?

    Finally heard back. Delivery on March 15th. Will be eight weeks after configuration, but I'm just happy it is coming!

    I'm finally on for delivery the 15th!

    Texas Hold Up!

    I'm still jealous you guys both have delivery dates! (Been over a week since I paid in full.) Happy some cars are starting to show up though!

    Is the 4 week delivery time real time or Elon time?

    Today marks six weeks since configuration for me. (Silver metallic with 19 inch wheels). Got VIN at 4 weeks. Full payment made 8 days ago, but no word on delivery date (or any contact or replies whatsoever) since then.

    Texas Hold Up!

    Mine will be a Dallas delivery as well, but I haven't heard anything (no responses to messages) since I paid last Tuesday. I'll try again today. I went with silver metallic and the 19 inch wheels. Hoping we both here more soon!

    Texas Hold Up!

    I hope you do! Paid in full and completed all paperwork six days ago and have no delivery date or even an update.

    Took delivery today, so worth the wait

    Congrats! Made the final payment today. Hope to be joining you soon!

    FYI - I did finally get my paperwork today and was able to make payment. Just took six days after getting VIN. At least I'm another step closer.

    It seems like several members have had an experience like yours. Now I've gone from refreshing my Tesla account page all day to watch for a VIN to checking my email constantly for the paperwork! lol. Best of luck with your delivery.

    Texas Hold Up!

    I was told mine is at the "transit center" in Southern California. I got my VIN the same day as many of you (last Wednesday), but I still haven't received my paperwork even. Yesterday was the first I've been able to reach my delivery rep since then. He said he was submitting it yesterday...

    Mine has a J (and is in 6XXX range).

    Texas Hold Up!

    Just spoke with my delivery specialist a few minutes ago. That was quick - just 90 minutes after my VIN showed up! He said I am looking at an early March delivery, but would let me know if it speeds up somehow. Not sure if that means anything for the other Dallas owners. Edit...

    I clicked the link to the right of my user name. Then it pulled up the various fields so I could edit with my new VIN and VIN date.

    More cars coming to Texas! I just got my VIN! Been checking all day, and it just changed. 6XXX Silver, 19 inch wheels Ordered 3/31/16 online. Current S owner. Configured 1/17/18 (4 weeks ago today). Keep 'em coming!

    Texas Hold Up!

    I got the Freemont call this morning too and just received the follow up from my delivery person in Las Vegas. No new info though. Just that VINs were going out to Texas now. He repeated the new 3-6 week guideline. Since today is 4 weeks since configuration for me, I asked if he meant there...

    Is the 4 week delivery time real time or Elon time?

    Yes, that's the way I've been checking.

    Still no VIN here either (Jan 17 configuration - 4 weeks tomorrow), but glad to see some finally coming to Texas!

    Is the 4 week delivery time real time or Elon time?

    Although I sure wish the state would change the law! Guess being "pro-business" and supportive of a "free market" goes out the window when the entrenched auto dealers flood the legislators with money.

    Is the 4 week delivery time real time or Elon time?

    I don't think so. Model S and X both sell well here and are regularly delivered to customers. The Southlake showroom (Dallas area) was one of the first six showrooms outside of California to get a Model 3 to display. So I am at a loss as to why no one here is getting VINs since so many of us...

    Is the 4 week delivery time real time or Elon time?

    I'm at 25 days after configuration now. No VIN. Like others have said though, Texas seems to be an outlier - with so many of us seeing no activity after configuring.

    Model 3 is Arriving in Texas, Tesla Southlake

    Went to Southlake this afternoon to check it out. About a 45 minute wait today as well. So great to see it in person and sit inside it. I configured on Jan 17, so I hope to hear delivery news soon!
