2021 Refresh - LR AWD Waiting Room

[Mzab21]

Got 456 miles on the car...... plus it’s sitting at 90% right now. To top that off, I think we’re sitting at the highest supercharging rate in the country here in Monterey, CA .36 per kWh

 

[Kimmi]

"Man, I expected a better freaking website from Tesla."
It

How did you spend $60 charging in 5 days? That’s seems a bit excessive... unless you are driving 250+ miles per day??

Or giving his neck muscles a severe workout?

Update: Page updated to Dec 18 - Dec 30 from "6-8 weeks from order date" before that it was Dec 20-31, no VIN.


11/8
White/Black 18" No FSD

 

[Jaenonymous]

3 and 1/2 hours on the wall, 3 and a 1/2 hours, take a min down, pass it around, 3 hours and 29 min on the wall....

Dont mind me. Killing time until delivery. LOL

 

[freeAgent]

At this rate I think I'll be seeing all of you in LA at 11pm on 12/31 as they furiously try to delivery an entire quarter's worth of orders in the last week of December.

 

[stepht12]

In the Bay Area. Here are my sequences for delivery dates. Originally Dec 16-31, then 7-10 weeks from delivery date. Now its Dec 25-31.
Ordered on Oct 26. Going to be a mad push for California deliveries.

 

[Kingeckls]

Blue black CA, ordered 11/26. Still waiting on VIN. Changed from 3-5 weeks to actual dates. Also all the contract info changed but still no VIN :/

 

[Bare]

My delivery date slipped again. Now it’s 12/27-12/31 I think I may push it to 2021 in hopes of a federal credit being passed.

Just received the text infamous schedule text:


Tesla Update - Your Model 3 is on its way to the Rockville Delivery Center!

Please select your appointment now at tesla.com/schedule/RN114069XXX for your touchless delivery.

We will provide video tutorials and more information for your Model 3 prior to your delivery day. We may reach out to schedule a new appointment if your Model 3 arrives earlier or later than we currently expect.

Once I proceeded to schedule delivery the only two delivery dates available were 12/29 & 12/30.

That's awesome! Congrats! When you make the trip to Burbank, can you gather some intel for us poor souls still waiting on whether there are any updates on when the rest of us might be picking up?

I second this! I'm set for pickup from Burbank... no idea when though.

 

[Jaenonymous]

Mission successful.

I will third that request! Talked to an S owner leaving Physical Therapy yesterday and he was of the opinion the Burbank facility was top notch about fixing things before the car is delivered, YMMV.

 

[Cheezhead19]

Whelp. Was supposed to get delivery this afternoon, but they just called and apparently found a paint imperfection they want to fix, but of course can't fix until Monday, so no delivery until Tuesday.

Hope this isn't a sign of more troubles...

 

[ALARA]

Submitting my dates/experience for anyone that's curious and checking obsessively like I was...

M3LR, MSM, black interior, 19" sport wheels, FSD

10/25: Order placed, immediately showed expected delivery Dec 13 to Dec 31
10/29: Finished application info
11/24: Date range changed to Dec 3 to Dec 21
11/28: Date range changed to *current date* to Dec 6
12/2: Date range changed to Dec 13 to Dec 31
12/6: Date range changed to *current date* to Dec 19
12/13: Date range changed to *current date* to Dec 20
12/17: email from Tesla about VIN (868667) and final payment received at 3:30am - logged in at 6am to see VIN on website (website had nothing at 12am 12/17 when I had last checked)

Fingers crossed everyone that is still waiting on VINs gets their cars before the end of the year!

Got back a couple hours ago from Burbank

Pulled up to the top of the parking garage of Burbank town center and there were about 30 or so Teslas waiting to be picked up. You just accept the delivery on your phone/account and that’s basically your key to open your baby up. I brought the checklist of things to look over but I just did a walk through myself. Couple Tesla workers were waxing and cleaning other vehicles and said hi as they walked by - that’s about the most human interaction I had. Hahahaha

The sun was getting little intense and
my kids were busy playing around with the car so I felt little rushed to get it home so I can go over more things peacefully. I had no issues with the car. There was a clipboard and pen already in the vehicle with the dmv forms and I signed at the highlighted areas and drove it off. You hand it over to couple workers as you are leaving the roof area and they just verify the information before you pull away.

One interesting thing I saw was a white model 3 performance next to my spot that had the new headlights! So congrats to that person. All the LRs and SRs had the 2020 headlights.

Also didn’t realize you need to purchase homelink for the car to open and close my parking garage. So I had to find my old garage door opener - the opener is too bulky for the visor so I took off the metal clip and am now storing it in the driverside door nicely. The wireless charging ports worked fine and fit my iPhone 11 (with case) nicely. Will test out wife’s iphone 12 pro later.

Also didn’t realize you need to purchase homelink for the car

No way I'm going to pay $300 for that. The best solution, which I'll do, is to attach (I'll use 4 little squares of industrial 3M double-sided tape) the opener behind the screen (at the bottom), without clip of course. It's a brilliant solution. Completely invisible, much better range than any car door opener, and basically free. Tape it below an HVAC 'button' you want, so you always know where it is. Hope this helps, and congrats on the car .

Going back to subject, I ordered DEC 14, no VIN yet, but my delivery date changed from Dec 25-31, to Dec 31. Why the hell is taking so long? Ha ha. Just kidding. After seeing others have been waiting for over 2 months, 2 weeks will be nothing... IF it actually arrives on the 31st, that is (TX here).

Congrats on your delivery. Mine isn't until Wednesday. M3 Blue/w 19" wheels FSD
Can you briefly describe the difference between the old and new headlights?

Visually, the new headlight has a circle spotlight at the far ends of them...

Here’s an article that has video to show the difference
