Hey guys! Got delivery of my Model 3 yesterday. While I have been reading all your posts but never really posted anything, thought I would take this opportunity to do so. I am so thankful for these posts and I am happy to say that Tesla did not disappoint except for one little thing (which I am so glad they screwed up).
I ordered a M3 AWD Midnight metallic silver with aero wheels on Oct 6, 2018 (said 4-8 weeks delivery). I decided on Oct 18 to change my car color to black and upgrade to 19” wheels, could not do it online (no edit button) so had to call-customer rep sent me a email to which I responded with my intended changes ( was told then that it would not change delivery schedule). Call a week later to confirm as my Tesla account still had not changed , was told it is in the right hands but the delivery might be delayed. Get an email Oct 30 from DA saying I might be able to take delivery Nov 23 provided I keep the original config ( as my change never went through) and I am so glad it did not. My car is absolutely stunning!
My delivery advisor was/is absolutely the best (only email communication but extremely prompt). His English is debatable (Just kidding- I think he was speaking into his android phone or something to convert to text for his email responses). Anyways my delivery got moved up by a week to Nov 16th and it was a home delivery. Based on all the delivery stories I have read, I expected the worst but man was I wrong. My delivery experience was nothing short of perfect. Jonathan from the Roswell SC was there to personally home deliver the car and he stayed over an hour or more and meticulously went through pretty much everything (including some dumb questions from me) including trying to program my Homelink ( there were hardware problems with garage remote). My car is pretty much flawless and I did get the dual motor badge on the car- so yes looks like Tesla has started adding the dual motor badges on the back of the car. So a shout out to Deshun & Jon- excellent service.
I think Tesla is turning things around with the delivery process. Getting my car from order to delivery in 40 days with no problems whatsoever I think has been outstanding on Tesla’s part. Needless to say, the driving is exhilarating and mind you I drove a WRX before the Model 3. Yes I am going to miss driving the stick shift ,but in my opinion I absolutely made the right decision to upgrade to a Model 3.
