Hi @Kenriko , just installed the brushed black metal kit! Your video was super informative and the tips you gave were spot on. I pieced together your strategy and installed the very thin strip at the very top without much issues. Question : What are the two bonus '3' logos used for? Or, if its...

And white. Wow. Does anyone know a reason why? Are they more difficult/expensive to pull off?

There's a model 3 meetup on Sunday at Tsawwassen at 5pm started by a Facebook group. Turns out there is at least one person offering test drives for the 3 there! I might pop by to meet with the kin.

Corolla here. I haven't driven anything else. Almost gave myself a heart attack on my first launch. 10/10 would do it again.

they still have problems getting the cars over the border huh?

ohh! oops. Sorry I meant Downtown Vancouver. I thought that was what you meant... :) Bummer.

I'm bringing her in to DT as well today for work. If I see a red model 3 I'll honk! You'll know that was me.

Hear, hear!

Surprisingly, I don't get that many looks. Being a white car, I guess it looks too much like an S from the back, and a bit like a Porsche from the front, so no one even glances. I did get a very big smile from a guy beside me one night though. I'm quite happy that way. I dont want to attract...

Congratulations Kira! At long last. Model 3 partehh

Sunday's gonna be your day Kira. I'm sure of it. Give her a warm loving welcome.

You guys are gonna have a blast. You'll be all smiles ;)

Me! I'm not in Victoria though. Are you still in Vancouver? Edit: I think I just missed you. Dang it.

It was very smooth, ICBC is high balling the insurance because "it is an expensive car to repair". There were very few people.. I was probably the only one picking up a 3. Everyone was all smiles, friendly, and seemed genuinely excited that I was going to drive away in a 3. The trade in was...

I have the lugs and caps at home as well, but I decided not to take off the aeros. They are so iconic for the 3 I have actually come to accept it and even love it. I waited so long for this thing, I will love it as it is. For now

I did, I had a 1030 appointment. Are you there now?

Lucky you! I got an ugly red color. Just kidding the red is gorgeous. :D

Yeah, that's what I thought, so I mentioned it to him. He said they didn't have enough of them so they are just giving it to the first 200 deliveries. In any case, I'm a day 3 reservation holder, but I have a die cast model.

Also I was told the first 200 or so model 3 deliveries get the die cast.. I got one

I didn't believe anything until I saw my car. I was almost ready to get sent back home... Fortunately, its real and I just brought her home.

You know what's interesting... Someone here told me that my car came in a few days ago. I mentioned that's interesting and told him that I was cancelled yesterday because I was told it was stuck at the border, and he immediately backed off and said yeah they are probably right. Weird

The delivery stuck! I'm picking up now! I just met with her. She is beautiful

I got a call back and rescheduled for tomorrow morning. Hopefully this one sticks.

The guy told me the same thing, same day turnover once they get it... Or they'll try. I'm just a bit concerned because of the mass, unexpected and unexplained delays. My car was due to arrive last night, supposedly. I think that's a bit tight of a time frame; the night before a promised delivery.

I guess so. I gave the number a call back and he told me they swap trucks at the border as they move some cars up to Alberta. So they are waiting for a truck now. Still doesn't explain @Lewisball 's situation. Any updates on that?

Something sounds fishy here.

I saw the number and almost didn't want to pick up...:(

Looks like we might be broken-down-truck-mates. Tesla Vancouver didn't specify why it was delayed, but I assume this is the reason.

Got the call from Tesla - I got delayed too. Sigh

Burnaby represent!

Congratulations all. May the Teslatronic Force be with you all

does someone have a model x they can be so kind to lend to tow that thing over?

This. My ISA called me after I shot him an email for advice moving forward. He sent me an estimated amount to write out the bank draft for and said to bring personal cheques to cover the difference during delivery.

ooooohh i see a white with aerosss

the silver lining is that your model 3 will probably be 10 generations ahead of ours.

And so it begins! :):):)

Was that a reschedule or your confirmed schedule?

They might try and push the whole chain backwards, but I figured it'll be a domino scale logistical disaster to pull that off..

Wow. Is it just you, or did an entire shipment get delayed?

Congratulations Kira! Looks like that push was indeed needed. I'd recommend taking the reins a bit here, they seem really disorganized.

Don't forget that after the tax deduction you'll be saving an extra.. 5 ish thousand? That brings your effective trade in to 39100.

Not sure if there's a thread like this lying around, but as we get closer to delivery, let's talk cables! As I know, the car comes with a usb c and lightning. I'm looking for another c. My delivery date is the 6th of June!

My trade in quote was about 10-20% lower than the offers I was getting outside. I guess I was lucky.

What about the trade in is going to delay it?

Just an update! My account page now shows me my full vin. My delivery is this day next week. Showing up one week before delivery checks out. Edit: it's the same vin as the checkout page.

Apparently, the last 1-2 weeks of waiting is harder than the first two years combined. I heard it goes by quickly though. Just painfully.

Me too! No VIN except for the wall connector checkout, car page still showing RN, but the delivery appointment date and location is now showing.

It does! My biggest pain/wait was that I didn't know when anything was going to happen, only guesses and hopes. Now that things are set in stone, I feel much more at ease. Obviously, I'm excited, but this is more of a 'enjoy the ride' since everything's taken care of already. I hope you get...

I have a feeling that everyone's delivery dates are all set already, if you received the ISA email. There seems to be no correlation between when the ISA calls you to schedule and the date that you are offered. The only difference i think is the time slots. A lot of calls are going out, i...

Same boat as you - but i found my Vin on the checkout page when buying a wall connector. Note - no purchase necessary!
