Delivery

How many Model 3s do you think Tesla will deliver in 2018? Tesla's guidance is as high as 264,000, Ben Sullins of Teslanomics predicts 200,000. This (link) says only 80,000 (my guess). Yes, 80k is a lot, but that still leaves plenty of people on the waitinglist at the end of 2018 and that will...

Hi all, Recently, a family member (who didn't know their strength) managed to accidentally physically damage my i3's home charging station. I reached out to Tesla to see if I could expedite a Wall Charger prior to taking delivery of my Model 3 - rather than get another generic station from...

Our appointment is at 11:45 am in Fremont to pick up the Model 3 my husband stood in line on day 1 to put down deposits for us and for our son. Our son couldn't wait; he bought an X in July and just loves it. Since he was now a Tesla owner his reservation moved up. As we anxiously awaited and...

Once Tesla starts manufacturing the standard range version (SR), one would expect there to be a burst of orders from those who have already been invited to configure but are waiting for SR. This, on it's own, might create a longer wait time for these orders than what people are experience now...

Recent experience taking delivery of a 3 and transferring the reservation (Myth Busting) • r/teslamotors Sounds like adhering to the "No transfers" corporate policy may be at the discretion of local delivery centers?

On Monday, January 22nd, I arrived at the WPB Tesla facility to take delivery of my Model 3. Delivery had been delayed from the previous Wednesday, because the delivery specialists had not yet been trained on the Model 3. Training took place on Monday, and at about 2:30 I got the call to see...

Just saw an email this morning, probably the first showroom M3 in the DFW metroplex. Don't think there will be test drives, but seeing one in the flesh can satiate appetites for a decent few right now. Starting January 26, Model 3 will be on display at Tesla Southlake, As you prepare for...

Just got an email from Tesla saying the Model 3 will be available to sit in (no mention of test drive). The M3 is supposed to be on display starting today! Looks like I'll be leaving work early.

I received email last night from Tesla stating "Starting January 26, Model 3 will be on display at Tesla CityCenterDC." Any in the area, please share the experience.

Couple of weeks ago, I put $1,000 on a 2014 85. Received a copy of the Carfax and it came back clean. 11 days later, I received an email with updates on what’s going on with the car. They did several tests and it turns out the car has signs of serious accident damage beneath the body work. With...

Curious question for owners taking delivery in Fremont, CA. What's your sales tax and vehicle license fee and registration fee? Sanity check: M3 LR + PUP + EAP + Red + Fee = $56k total 9.25% sales tax $364 license fee? $253 registration/transfer/title? $7 tire fee?

I just took delivery of my Model 3. Sadly this means I will be parting ways with my Model S. Mileage: 26,285 Clean CarFax Solid White Paint Body Color Roof 19" Wheels Multi-Pattern Black Seats Piano Black Décor Matching Yacht Floor White Alcantara Headliner Supercharger Enabled Autopilot...

Thinking to take one now and one later when they offer a P version and then sell the original. I cant imagine this will depreciate too much considering the waiting list. Is anyone else in my boat? In all reality there are very few cars I actually purchase, anything brand new I usually always...

Just noticed on my Tesla account that I was invited to configure both my M3 reservations - both reserved in April 2016 about 5 days apart. Current owner (multiple S and X). I didn't receive an email, just happened to click on the 'Manage" button next to one of the M3 reservations and was taken...

I’m an owner with a estimated delivery of January (7 days left in the month). I’ve called customer service and was told that the Estimator is the most accurate projection of delivery. The person then responded to my question of how long it takes to receive the car after config is 4-5 weeks. Are...

So I configured my car on the 15th and have not received a VIN, despite the sales associate saying it should be "imminent". I was starting to get worried but looking at the Model 3 Invites spreadsheet, it looks like very few VINs have been assigned for people who have configured in the last few...

Super excited. Ordered Model 3 on Saturday and can't wait to surprise my wife with it. Just wondering if this is really going to happen in 4 weeks. I'd be grateful for any help you can give me with the timing of your model 3 delivery experience. I tried using the spreadsheet but got lazy and...

Email I received about LB830. At Tesla, we’re accelerating the future of sustainable energy with groundbreaking electric cars and energy products. As you may know, Nebraska is currently one of the few states that prohibits manufacturers from selling directly to consumers. Although we make...

I am writing to see if I can find someone that is interested in "trading spots in line" for the Model 3. They must have a spot that would be available very soon as mine isn't too far off either. I made my reservation in earlish July and as I'm writing this (January 24th 2018), it projects to...

So I have been checking this once every coupe weeks since it said Feb-April of 18, tonight I was surprised to see I can configure the car and take delivery in 4 weeks!!!! WOWZERS!!!! Beyond excited. So I am thinking to get the nicer wheels, debating autopilot but I do like it, so I cant seem to...

hoping the awd version is available when said invite arrives. thx.

I've been researching the New York rebate of $2,000 and I'm disappointed with what I've found. First, you have to buy the car in New York to get the rebate. I'm in the Albany area and would've considered the store in Natick, MA, but that's not allowed. The closest New York store is the one in...

looking to see if anyone would be willing to give their model 3 reservation or sale it for a reasonable price. I’m in Oregon and will be needing a car around March/April. Thanks in advance.

Thinking about a road trip to see the 3 in person... as may be able to order soon... What's the actual location of the NYC one? "New York Meat Packing" is not an address... thanks! 860 Washington St, New York, NY 10014 I don't want to drive hours to the wrong one!

Hi there - great site, lots of useful information. I've been following the VIN tracking spreadsheet - Model 3 Invites and it seems that VINs are just now entering the 4000-count. Most of this month/portion of last month were in the 3000s. I see the highest scheduled VIN delivery is now 46xx...

I configured my M3 on December 23rd. When I was contacted to arrange a delivery date, after a VIN# was assigned, I asked that my delivery date be deferred until Jan 27 to accommodate my travel plans. No problem I was told, but they would have assign a different VIN# once we were closer to Jan...

I'm traveling from AZ to pickup my new M3 a week from today. I currently have personalized CA plates (LUV KWH) that I currently have on my ICE car in Cali awaiting the M3. It is my plan to drive the M3 the following week back to our place in AZ until early April. A couple of questions: 1...

Hey everyone, This community is great. I found a lot of information that was very useful and helped me chose Tesla X as my next car. I still have a couple of questions before buying: What's the best way to finance? I saw 0.99APR flying around but seems like it's not relevant anymore. Is...

The Tesla Advisor even mentioned perhaps consider dropping the full self driving option since it's 2 to 3 years out. So looking through the Google Doc seems like a LOT of you guys chose NOT to get the FSD. I understand it's not released yet, and waiting regulatory approval. I also understand...

Placed my order today for MX 75D Multi Coat Red, 7 seats, white interior + carbon. All options checked. The waiting period begins. BY THE WAY - found a weird glitch on Tesla's website. I had the configuration in my account for about a week and when I actually paid the deposit, it showed me my...

The Highland Park, IL Tesla Store had 2 Model 3's last Saturday. Several more delivered this week PLUS 6 on the truck today. I take delivery 1/23 after configuring on 1/4 after invite came through. Signed up 3/31/16 and current MX owner. Deliveries are ramping up in Chicago!

I am getting my white/white MS soon and I am wondering what you as the Tesla owners' community think are the best not-Tesla branded accessories. Any recommendation is welcome. For instance I already bought a white silicon fob pocket by Abstract Ocean on Amazon. I am seeking to find also...

Hello All! I am frustrated and hoping that some of you can offer your insight on my current situation. I placed an order for a Model X on 1/4/18 and got confirmation(on my tesla account, no email) on 1/7/18. It has been two weeks and I have had no communication or vin number assigned. I have...

New in sealed box. $425 local pickup in Chicagoland area. I could drive probably a 30 mile radius to drop off as well. Will consider shipping, just need to get a price on your location. Thanks!

Yes I know there has been a lot of polls before invites started going out, but since then when you actually get the invite what color are you ordering? is there a spreadsheet yet for this? I'm torn between Blue and White, are the colors/paint going to be the same as Model S and X? at least that...

I'm an east coast non-owner, inline reservation holder. My estimate is Dec 2017- Feb 2018. There have been plenty of deliveries across the country so I wonder if Tesla will circle back and send out CA non-owners invites first. I wonder if it will be supply constrained. I would expect to...

Just thought you guys might want an update from the spreadsheet data on the current group of invites. This is what we have so far this morning:

Any of you living in the Miami or Orlando area and expecting delivery by end of March: would you mind helping a small EV site do a quick review of your car? Besides being a TMC member and posting here since 2013, I've recently started contributing to a local (Hungarian) EV enthusiast site. I`d...

I didn't see another thread on this, but the old Turbines are gone -- replaced with Sonic Carbon Twin Turbine. These are nice looking wheels (better than the Aracnids) ,but I do like the traditional Turbines better. They have more of a classic look. They also seem to have the same center cap...

For those who live in PA... and want to know... ;) thanks.

A friend of mine recently purchased a model S75D demo car in Houston. When he took the car to the clear bra installer he asked them to remove the license plate bracket. He found out that there was one hole (yes, only one) in the bumper (see pic) behind the bracket. When it was brought to the...

Sitting at a redlight today at around 4:00 PM in Baton Rouge and lo and behold a truckload of model 3’s passes me heading in the opposite direction. It happened so quickly, I didn’t react in time to get a picture. Turned around to follow but couldn’t catch up. Looks like delivery is...

Electrek - 27 minutes ago: Tesla expands Model 3 configuration invites, sends out new display car

Hey all, I know there have been a few threads about this but lots of them are from 2016-17. I figure since it is 2018 there may be others who are in the CPO purchase process who would like to share their progress. Ill start! 1/2 Began search on ev-cpo, singled out 2-3 options that fit the...
