Deep Blue Metallic Waiting Room

[webdbbt]

Holy cow--I called the 1-888 number in the post at the bottom of the previous page...quick backstory--I'd had to not accept an Aug 28 delivery due to unmovable travel and was TRYING to be patient and not call incessantly. BUT I cracked and called that number last night. The guy on the phone said no VIN yet, and to expect end of October. No biggie but my original financing expires mid October. Oh well. So, TODAY I get a call from the delivery center I'm planning on and actually scheduled the appointment to pick up on the 30th! Logged in and all of a sudden not only is that appointment in my account but I also have a VIN. Woo-Hoo!!!! 94,xxx.

So, my time line has been this:

Non-prior owner
Reservation: 5/30/2017
Configured: 7/19/2018
Blue AWD, Non-P, black premium interior, aero wheels, no EAP (and no edits ever)
Delivery: Richmond, VA
Edit button gone/trade in and bank info requested 8/11/2018
Email on 8/14 for ‘car arriving on lot’ 8/25, and pick up 8/28.
Plan third party loan and trade in, but with a very low offer on my car changed to loan+ach for balance
Phone received phone call 8/15 to follow up the email--had to decline due to important/immovable travel
Never saw the VIN
got the end of September mass text message--called and no car
Called 10/8 and given estimate for the end of this month
Received call 10/9, and now updated MVPA with VIN and confirmed appointment.

I have no idea if my call actually stimulated something, the guy assured me my account was not in limbo, but at this point I don't care. I have a date and a VIN! I'm debating about rolling the dice and getting a one way rental with the idea that there will be no hiccups taking delivery (I live almost 3 hours away from the delivery center).

Yeah, good taste in Model 3s (my exact config). Hopefully my delivery is not too far behind yours since your date is already end of October.

Also, I love your Doggie pic!

I agree with your taste as well! My dog is a good boy. A racing school flunk out though so 'ZoomDoggie' is perhaps a bit optimistic. .

Congrats, she's gorgeous. My exact config... Only 12 hours from delivery...

My exact config as well. Took delivery of mine on 9/27/18.

Just got ISA email/text today. Car will be ready for pick up 10/25. VIN 94,xxx. I went to the Tesla dealership in Springfield and they gave me my VIN and pinged the car. It is in Illinois. Expected arrival at dealer on 10/22.

I had the same conversation yesterday... it looks like we might be on the same train. Apparently our cars are currently in Chicago

How did you guys ping the car? thought car will appear in the app just before delivery.

When I went to the dealership I asked where it was. They did something on the computer and said it was in Illinois.

Awesome congrats! I'm wondering where my car could possibly be right now.... same exact build and similar VIN. What's the 4th number of your VIN?

Congrats! DBM with white interior and the 19" wheels I think is the best looking M3. Got me wishing I'd gone with 19" Great photos.

Ha - I also had two Volts the same years as yours....

Congrats on the new ride.

I have a harbor gray car (http://images.nysportscars.com/pictures/51316578.jpg), was thinking of midnight silver metallic. It is darker than my current harbor gray, but wanted to try a different color. I hope I don't regret getting this blue.

Contrats to you on your new ride! I got a VIN and delivery date yesterday. Nov-5 can't come too soon...

Hey, I have a 2014 Sprinter 2500 "adventure van"! What do you use yours for? I'd love to have a diesel/electric hybrid Sprinter.

Wow...ours must have been built in the same batch, as mine is the same config as yours, but I have EAP. Mine has an 08/18 build date, and it was delivered to me on 9/27/18. My VIN is: 097730

Just called Mt Kisco and was told my DBM/White interior is due in on the 22nd! Quite a bit earlier than the 31st which is finally some good news.

Yep. my DA called me and updated the new due date to 20 to 22 Oct. It appears all the blues are on the same truck.
I would have been much happier if they have delivered before 14 oct as I missed my CHEPR rebate by 1 week.. just because of these bunch of delivery jokers.
