    AWD delivery thread

    Took delivery today! Interesting experience. Told them my name and they had 4 lines for my wife and I to sign each. Never asked for IDs or insurance. Maybe I look trustworthy? Car was ready and waiting outside. Showed me the basics and that was it. From the time we walked through the door to the...

    15 hours to go - got ANOTHER call from Tesla. Now they found a crack in the windshield and need to delay delivery. Son of ___ ! I’ve been reading this thread. I knew this would happen! Then they called back and said they have another windshield and will just need to delay delivery by 5 hours...

    17 hours away from my scheduled delivery (9/22 10:30am) and received the dreaded call from Tesla. I almost didn’t answer to pretend this wasn’t happening. BUT... it was the delivery center just informing me of what to expect and that my car was ready! What? After 613 days this might actually...

    Paying over the weekend - ACH on Sat/Sun?

    San Diego delivery center said paper personal checks are just fine. Just check with your local delivery center. I paid by ACH through my account today. Received an email from Tesla within 5 minutes confirming payment. Account now shows $0 due (was updated within 30 minutes). Seems like...

    Model 3 gets perfect 5 star safety rating

    That's true, the safety of all Teslas seems to fly under the radar. Now I can tell my wife I am purchasing the car for SAFETY reasons. Has nothing to do with the speed, agility, looks, tech, and perma-grins...

    I spoke to my delivery center yesterday and asked about payment. The associate said “you can pay by personal check.“ So I clarified and asked if I could pay the full $60k+ balance with a personal check and he said yes, customers do it all the time. He further clarified that they prefer ACH...

    Just curious what you mean by "excluding San Diego"? I've seen San Diego singled out a couple of times in threads by others. Is it believed that the San Diego market has a shorter line? Thanks!

    Model 3 insurance

    Still waiting patiently for my AWD, but called my insurance company for a quote during my planning stages. Was thrilled to hear that going from my 14 year-old GTO to Model 3 had virtually no impact on my current rates. Crazy. Agent said I was going from a 2-door coupe "sports car" to a...

    Model 3 all wheel drive vs rear wheel drive video

    I ordered the AWD primarily for handling, regen braking, and tire wear. But 0.6 better in 0-60 and 1.0 in the quarter? I’ll take it for $4k! Thanks for sharing the video.

    Interesting. Sorry to hear that. My Prepare for Delivery circle is checked. Given all your information, I definitely would think that yours should be too. Just when I thought I had Tesla’s system figured out, another curveball gets thrown in. I would call them, but you may have already done that.

    AWD delivery thread

    Are you financing or do you have a trade-in? Those paying cash with no trade-in (like me) do not have the edit link, and therefore are at the “Prepare for Delivery” stage. I think all this means is that I don’t have anything to do until I schedule my appointment whereas those who finance or...

    Reserved: 1/18/17 Ordered: 6/28/18 San Diego Cash No Trade-in MSM, AWD, 19", EAP I knew I was late to the reservation game and was far behind many of you, so figured not having the edit button didn't mean anything for me.

    I believe those with trade-ins or outside financing seem to have the edit button up until a car has been assigned to them. Once a car has been assigned, the edit button goes away and the buyer is contacted about financing and/or trade-in. If you are paying cash and don't have a trade in, the...

    I believe there were 400,000 reservations world-wide, so likely the number of AWD U.S. reservations is lower than that. Or that’s just me wishful thinking as I (im)patiently wait..

    New habits I've formed while waiting...

    Long time lurker here. I've found it curious the new OCD habits I've formed since configuring my AWD. The first year and a half of waiting was bearable, however the past month and half have been excruciating. Here are a few habits I have developed...and perhaps I am not alone. - Refreshing my...
