I believe the sooner you can contact your local install team (or some customer in your area) the better you can assess the overall schedule. I suggest you start a thread (Or look through historical posts) specifically targeting your local market to make local connections. I did this in Houston...

who was your install guy? They just departed on day 2 of my install in Richmond (sept 16) and should finish up by Friday! They are installing the ‘very large’ package with 4 PW

I ordered on July 15, 2020 and they are on my roof now (day 2). - 16.32 Kw system with 4 powerwalls - suburban Houston Texas (Richmond), no construction permits required by county, outside of city limits - cash purchase - large reasonably easy south facing roof. 48 panels with 38...

Thanks for the review! I knew you would love it! I didn’t do the PPF, and I have the rock chips to prove it. My strategy is to repaint the front in a couple years with better coating. I did have Dave Sotelo do the best ceramic on both our Model 3s and I am very happy with that!

Congratulations! I hope your car and delivery was flawless! I am sure by now your autopilot has calibrated and you have tested the maximum acceleration! My LR RWDs are both quick enough for me. Our 2018 M3 is almost to 10,000 miles without any real problems. Once and a while there is a...

Update your signature with your M3 info while you wait!

Breathe deep!

Be calm, at least you haven’t been strung along for weeks like us early deliveries!

I have a model 3 white interior and I would like to switch to the wood. Wanna swap? I am in the Houston Texas area, so we would need to FedEx the panels. PM me if interested!

Where is the photo of your car? Or are you too busy driving to waste time on your computer?

I am very happy with the Vanku floor mat set and the Kenrko matte black console wrap!

Have you already ordered the floor mats? Do you have your charging figured out? We had our home built 4 years ago and had them put in a 50 amp dryer outlet in the garage - works great with the mobile charger cable supplied with the car! Since we have two I plug the other car into a standard...

She will come around when she realizes how thrifty it is to fuel and drive! The Google Maps navigation is VERY easy to set destinations using voice commands. We had a Mercedes ML350 a few years ago and it was impossible. If she drives it enough to get used to the regenerative braking she will...

Is this your first Tesla? Have you already driven or been exposed to Model 3s?

Well, is it there yet?

FWIW, we ordered our second LR RWD Model 3 on March 18 this year. All details were complete on the website 2 days later (the 20th). They tried to push an inventory car via a phone call on the 26th, when I confirmed I wanted my car as ordered they took full payment on March 27. On the 28th I...

I can’t recall exactly, but no real discounts / free upgrades, none had the blue exterior/white interior we wanted.

I ordered April 18, website wanted my info on the 19th, and website said details complete on the 20th. I got a call to offer me inventory cars on the 26th. Didn’t like any inventory offers, so waited for our car which arrived in Houston late night on the 31st!

Last month I ordered our second LR RWD Model 3. Our first was delivered in August of last year with EAP, silver, black interior and 19” wheels. Love the car, VIN 067xxx. We received our new blue Model 3 with white interior and standard aero wheels, they tried to deliver it on Sunday, March 31...

Congratulations! The SC will fix you up, but be prepared to have a loaner that is not as much fun as your M3! They gave me a MS locked in chill mode when I had some paint issues addressed!

Hopefully Portugal deliveries happen soon, be patient......American deliveries were a struggle, so I can only imagine what your experience will be! We love Portugal....and your Duoro wines!

Eric, that would be you?

The westchase service center has an M3 console in their parts room they ordered for me. The forward door on my console is VERY slightly misaligned (like 1/16 of an inch!) and I asked then if they could adjust it. I have the matte black wrap installed on mine, so I told then not to change it...

I thought the same thing about miles driven before I got my M3, but I have $5 says you will drive it more than you are projecting! I have not been in my very nice Lexus GS since I brought home my M3! 1025 miles driven in just over 2 weeks......

Yep, they set up a Lyft ride for me and everything was good from then on! FedEx papers showed up 3 hours before the Lyft ride. The paperwork will not impact delivery of the vehicle, but it does affect getting your Texas plates!

Sorry to hear about the body work issues! Be on notice, the body shop is not fast. My M3 has some faint paint issues on the hood. I took it in on a Tuesday, they didn’t take it to the body shop for several days, then I finally got it back 10 days later. The gave me a 2016 Model S that was...

Yea for you! Our original cadre of impatient buyers is slowly taking possession! Now we can reminisce about “the good ‘ol days when the Texas Hold Up thread was less than 100 pages! Don’t you just love driving your M3? Has the urge to punch it when you leave a traffic light started to settle...

Jamie, I seriously doubt how real your OCD is if you never found this thread while waiting ELEVEN (11) WEEKS for your M3! How far back did you go to start reading this thread? BTW, what is the Kodak reference? I lived in Alaska 25 years.....(Wasilla)

I have an IPhone X in a case and there is 3/4” space above and beside the phone, so a Plus should fit?!

Congratulations and best wishes for a smooth delivery! Are they providing a Lyft ride to the Delivery Center?

Since the North Houston delivery center is over 50 miles from my home I asked if they would do home delivery, they said no, but then they offered the Lyft ride on their dime. If you are flying into Geo Bush I would call your delivery person tomorrow and ask that they expidite you to their...

Great for Texas sunshine, now it is limited edition! Your “bleh” is my “BOOYAH!”

I just bought a $40 “Show n Go” plate holder made by Altec. Only negative if the driver likes to pull up onto curbs when parking, it can crunch the holder and plate

My wife thinks I am so sweet now because INSTEAD of me saying “you’re going to the grocery again?” I say “you need a small bunch of green onions for garnish? I can drive you there or get them for you if your busy!”

That is really great, congratulations! Sorry about the work thing.....I have not such problem since I am retired since mid 2014! I am still driving the Model S loaner, so missing my M3 a bunch!

I bet they are still driving! I hope it went well!

Woops, this was supposed to be directed at jdirik who takes delivery Monday! Obviously Libra is already a happy camper! Congratulations!

I was actually in the white model S loaner since my SM model 3 is getting the hood resprayed due to the spots! I miss our model 3!

You will be much happier next Monday evening!

Congratulations! I know you will be happy with that scooter! I get the performance dual motor, what does the '+' indicate??

Good luck for a smooth delivery. My M3 showed well at delivery, then at sunset 4 spots were visible on the right side of the hood. I phoned in to the service center 8 days after my delivery and they had me bring it in so they could look at it. When they finally got the light angle to see it...

Good luck Libra! Your Day is near!

Were you using the autopark feature? Bummer about the rash though, the forward visibility is tricky because you see forward really well, but not so much on the sides! You going to get it fixed, or chock it up to "one of the car's stories"? Can you believe Sleeping Lesson got a home delivery...

"The 'FedEx' package" contains the forms for title and registration, as well as limited power of atty so they can complete the registration process. I surrendered my signed and sealed envelope upon delivery two weeks ago, still waiting on plates and title. My first 30 day tags expire day after...

Wow, congratulations! Let the fun begin! If you are like me you will find many things to fall in love with in the first weeks with your M3. The Model S loaner I have is not as much fun (locked in chill mode) You were on this thread before me (back 50 pages or so....)

Sorry CC, I tried to help!

I was afraid you’d ask me that! Way back when I was in the lurch waiting to hear where my M3 was it was in this thread (I think). Let me review my posts and get you a reference. Basically on a PC you view the source code from you “My Tesla” page and look towards the bottom of all the code for...

Crazy have your tried the "hidden VIN" trick yet? I worked for me, and the VIN was the one they delivered to me. Pub Cheese - I had the checklist, but the handiest thing I took was a small LED flashlight so I could look in the trunk and other 'shadow' places. The few minor items I noticed...

Good luck, hope you have a flawless delivery and your next post gushes about how much you like the car! Now we just have to focus our karma on SL!

Very strange! I see your VIN is about 8000 before my 060xxx, and you list a build date of 7/18. Where did you find the build date? They initially told me they had an M3 for my configuration on 7/22. I guess VINs are not sequential to the build? My M3 is in the Westchase SC for a minor...
