I agree with almost everything you said, except for one thing. The fact that I did not purchase the PUP was not because I didn't value the package. I actually thought it was a decent value for what you were getting. I just didn't want to spend that and then have the additional expense of...

Just want to say that I was able to take delivery yesterday in St. Louis. I love the car. Love it. I've had the car for about 26 hours and have given multiple rides. I've even got my dad talking about getting a Tesla when the Model Y comes out. If Tesla can figure out how to deliver what...

Where exactly is this location in Chesterfield? FWIW, when I was at the U City location last week, I asked and they said “after the first of the year”.

Curious, where did you get your calipers painted?

BTW, VIN is 103xxx

I started this thread as I was initially scheduled for delivery on 9/25 and my accounted showed "estimated delivery by late September". I called yesterday for an update and was told I was assigned a VIN. Hooray! I never had a VIN with my previously scheduled delivery. I reached out to my...

You're probably right. Then again - what difference does a few weeks make if you end up regretting not getting what you really want.

I'm contemplating changing my config from P3D- to P3D+. I've had the same config since early August. I'm a little bit concerned about changing and "losing my place in line", but at this point I'm not sure if config date and reservation date mean anything (especially for the performance...

LOL. I thought that too.

I think the CPU overclocking comparison is a good one. Of course, that brings up different questions: Does Tesla have motor performance data for each drive unit and it's associated VIN? If so, that would potentially allow them to "unlock" the vehicle if the motor performance was capable of...

By the way, my account also still says "by Late September"

Not sure if you all saw this thread in the other forum, but it essentially says that the 3D vs P3D- is essentially just a software upgrade. I ordered a Performance 3. The car at delivery was an AWD. In addition to that, Telsa just announced this morning that they are almost exclusively...

LIke I mentioned in my original post, it looks like 70% of the P models have been delivered as of 9/30 according to Troy's spreadsheet. That has increased significantly over the last two weeks (it was 38% delivered on 9/16 - two weeks ago). So it does appear there was some sort of priority put...

Interesting. I will do that (talk to a sales person). I've been avoiding the delivery center the last couple of weeks because I know it's been crazy. Hopefully it's back to a state of "normal crazy" instead of "insane crazy" this week. So do the people at the DC have the ability to match a...

Hey folks, I am one of the P3D people who did not receive my Model 3 in the 3rd quarter push. When I log into my Tesla account, i still see "Estimated delivery by late September". This is obviously not accurate and I'm expecting it to change in the next few days. My situation: I had a...

Another datapoint: Text last night at 10pm central. “Hello from the Tesla Delivery team. Our logistics team has confirmed a Model 3 matching your order is available this week. Are you available to take delivery between 9/26 - 9/30?” Replied yes immediately. Text today at 10:56am central...

Thank you! Of course I’ll test it on my own on the way home. ;)

When picking up the vehicle, how can I distinguish between an AWD and an AWD Performance w/o PUP?

Strangely, your statement of “its not happening”, has made me feel better...less on edge. I wish they understood that stringing people along is worse than just telling me the truth! :)

At this point I’m kind of hoping my appointment gets cancelled until next week or the week after. I’d rather do this when things aren’t so crazy. I’d rather my car be at the SC for a day or two so they have time to prep it for delivery.

Update. T-minus 44 hours til delivery. Still no VIN. Still no MVPA. Still no ability for the CU to pay Tesla. Tesla still claiming all in on track.

This is craziness. I received an email to setup the appointment on 9/17 to choose a delivery date of either 9/24 or 9/25. I chose the afternoon of 9/25 and was then quickly scheduled for 2pm on 9/25. I was told to hang tight, "someone" would be in touch with me closer to my delivery date...

Another Datapoint P3D- | Solid Black | 18" | Black Interior No Reservation | Non Owner Originally Ordered 8/11 | Color Change 8/13 Contacted 9/17 via email Delivery scheduled 9/24, No VIN Assigned, Edit Button still there Location: St Louis

Ordered 8/11 Reconfigured (changed color) 8/13 No reservation P3D- Solid Black No EAP, No FSD Emailed today for delivery 9/24. We shall see...

I don’t believe it will cost only $1500 as I’m told they won’t buy your 18s back. Have you heard differently?

I did not have reservation and configured/ordered on 8/11. Yes, I have an RNxxxxxxx.

I’m sorry if this has already been covered, I’ve had a hard time keeping up with this active thread. Has the initial contact from Tesla recently been via email? I know a few weeks ago most people would get a call first, but recently it seems like email is the primary for initial contact to...

Since my 100A subpanel near the garage already had the range, air conditioner and dryer on it, I ended up running about 80 feet of 6/3 romex through a finished basement, into the garage, up through the attic and down the opposite wall. Contractor quoted me $1,800. I decided to do it myself and...

Nice to hear positive experiences. Thank you. My gut is that the people who have positive experiences don’t have a need to post on message boards...which is why we see a lot of negative.

I agree with many of the posters here. When I first made the decision to order a Model 3 it was almost a no-brainer that I’d get MSM. We currently have two cars that are both what I’d classify as “charcoal”. I love the color on both. It’s a dark color that looks sharp and has metallic flakes...

I think you lay out a good argument. I'll also say this. Some of the "shorters" have been saying that the demand isn't there because Tesla is working through it's backlog faster than new orders are coming in. That is such a simplistic analysis it's comical. It's obvious that a large portion...

Or...I could just get the 20" OEMs...but then I'd need a non-summer tire. Does anyone know if there is a recommended "touring" tire for the 20" rims? Ahhhhh!!!! This is just driving me crazy...

Thanks. I'm getting the P3D- w/ the 18" wheels. I'd really like to upgrade to the 19" wheels with all season tires (Tesla doesn't allow that option...so I'm going to purchase the wheels separately). I wonder if I can have Tesla ship the wheels with a different set of tires. Alternatively, I...

Just curious what tires come with the 19" wheels. I noticed in the Tesla shop that the 19" wheels come with "235/40/19 – PIRELLI WINTER SOTTOZERO™ 3" tires. Wondering if the AWD w/ 19's come with the same "winter" tires if upgraded at order time.

It seems like the outage they had yesterday causes them to do some sort of system restore…

Same. LOL. I have GOT to stop checking!!

LOL. Same here.

Yes!

Of course I’m happy with the new estimate. However, do we really think all the P models will be delivered by the end of Sept? I consider myself to be near the end of the P list (no reservation, non owner, configured on 8/13). For me to receive my car by the end of Sept it would have to be...

Does anyone have experience ordering wheels from the Tesla shop? I’m going to order the 19” wheels and have them installed on my P3D- when it arrives. I’d like to Time the order properly so the delivery center can install the wheels. How far in advance should I order the wheels? P.S. Yes...

Just another P3D datapoint. I ordered a P3D- on 8/11 with no reservation. Previous window was Oct-Dec. Now just “by Oct”

Never mind. Found another thread on this subject! M3 performance with 19" sport wheels?

Yep, I'm in the exact same boat. The up-sell angle is backfiring because I'm about to order a $10K less expensive car because I don't want the 20" wheels.

Does anyone know why the 19" wheels are not offered as an option with the M3 Performance? I'd really rather not deal w/ switching out the wheels during winter if I get the upgrade package (which comes with summer rated 20" wheels). The M3 Performance comes with 18" wheels standard. But no 19"...
