I compiled a video showcasing my delivery timeline and experience along with my first roadtrip from SF to O.C. If you guys have any questions please let me know. Did anyone else experience slow supercharging?

and did you have to pay a higher 9.25% sales tax rate since you took delivery in Fremont vs. 7.75% in most of O.C. ? California City and County Sales and Use Tax Rates - Cities, Counties and Tax Rates - California Department of Tax and Fee Administration
Delivery at Fremont made it significantly faster...or else I would have still been waiting if I delivered at my local SC.
You pay sales tax based on where the car is registered...so delivery at Fremont doesn’t make a difference in terms of cost
I didn’t get EAP on my Model 3 so can’t really comment on that. But I can see the cars on the screen..but only in the lane I am in (not left/right). I do have lane departure warning and emergency braking
240...and I was driving at 75-80
That's about average in Florida on highway. Yey to 240.
Can you share charging rate on 120v/15a plug (5-15)?
Just curious, what Model X do you have? I have the 75D and the ride in mine is sooo hard. I’ve taken it to the SC a number of times to have them look at it, but they can’t really do much other than recalibrate it. My Model S was smoother and my Honda Odyssey is even so much smoother. Both on coil suspension.

Just to clarify - when you say you would still be waiting, is that because of transport time? I saw plenty of 3's heading south to the LA or San Diego destinations Christmas week. I don't think picking Fremont moves you up on the delivery list, only eliminates transport time.
My cousin reserved his 3 online about the same time as me online...owns a Model S and selected Costa Mesa as his delivery prefrence. He even configured on the same day as me but chose Costa Mesa SC for delivery. He got a VIN 35xx and is expected to take delivery next week.
I think Tesla is batching by location...I got my 3 within 9 days of config even though the estimate stated 4 weeks

Anecdotal, but not definitive. I'd hate for people to think they all had to descend upon Fremont to get their car earlier (not counting transit time). There are plenty of people who took delivery the last week of the year in the LA area, for instance, who reserved the same time I did.

I think the Supercharging speeds quoted here are perfectly normal. Do not forget that the maximum charging speeds are attained when the battery has a very low state of charge. Charge speeds taper off at the top end to even out the charge over the thousands of cells, and to preserve battery longevity.
Also, looking at the charge rate in kilowatts I stead of mph hides the fact that you are adding range much faster in a 3 than in an S/X, as the 3 is a much more efficient car.
From everything I've read, the 3 Supercharges just fine.
