1. What additional communication do you need between ordering and taking delivery? Once you place your order, you should already have the funds available or financing approved. Once you are notified that your car is ready for delivery, you should already be ready to take delivery.
2. We've bought 10 Teslas over the past few years. While the first few had minor issues, the more recent cars have been flawless. While you may see several reports of issues from other new owners, they are most likely the exception, not the rule. The thousands of people receiving perfect cars aren't going to post that they didn't have problems. Typically you will hear more from those with complaints than from those with no issues.
3. If there isn't anything wrong, then this isn't an issue.
4. If there isn't anything wrong, then this isn't an issue.
Don't worry. You will love the car and there most likely won't be anything wrong with it. If there are any issues, Tesla will take care of it. If it is a minor issue, most likely no one will notice it but you so there shouldn't be a rush to get it fixed. If there is a major issue, you can refuse delivery.
Try to be optimistic and don't assume there will be problems. Most likely, there won't be any hassle. Several of our deliveries have just required a few minutes of our time and only a signature or two before we were out the door and driving home in our new car.
If it were me I'd wait for the Model Y. IMHO its overall package would seem better and hopefully all the lessons learnt that the Model 3 production (and hopefully sales too) has brought will have been dealt with. I don't see the Model 3 surviving unless it gets the tailgate too.
Right I’ve had the car 3 months It’s great what is not great is Tesla customer service.
It’s been over 3 months and customer service is none existent leaving me on a never ending wait for parts that may arrive next year, after having been to an appointment after waiting months only to have to come back at a unspecified date in the future, so for this reason I don't recommend them currently.
I get that this is a forum and most forums are where people express displeasure rather than pleasure but from a brief scan it would seem that if I order a Model 3 I can expect:
- No communication between order and about a week before delivery with no timescales ever given
- A rushed handover (I live in London) with a high probability of panel misalignment and/or missing cables
- A long wait time for any repairs from above to be fixed
- Absolutely no answer to any phone calls or emails about the above
So my question is - is it worth it?

That’s a shame but thank you for sharing. Does this service issue really detract from the car?
Those are the areas which still worry me but less so since I added 18inch rims and had the car PPFd. I do feel it's a bit "fragile" build wise e.g. the use of fibrous material on the underside which is clearly not fit for purpose in wet climates. I'm used to driving German cars which are still generally very robust, so maybe I'm over sensitive. Maybe ask me again in 3 years. But driving quality wise, it's a joy and second to noneI dred every pothole, every puddle, every stone, every kerb, every door opening on an icy morning, every time someone parks next to us and every time the relay clicks on the UMC when it starts to charge.
Depends if you have any problems. Buying process was very frustrating, but no issues since getting the car - easily the best car I've ever had.Hi everyone,
I've been lurking here for a few months and I am about ready to push the button on a Model 3 LR but I've noticed a LOT of problems that you all seem to have!

So my question is - is it worth it? I know there a few very vocal guys on here who clearly wish they hadn't of purchased one but how about the rest of you? Is the car worth the hassle?
Thanks!
I believe that Model Y UK deliveries are scheduled for sometime in 2022. My guess is it will be earlier than anticipated as production hits and exceeds targets and model 3 production subsides.that’s a really interesting take on it. But that would be what another four years before it arrives?
oh god!!
That's exactly the sort of thing I worry about.
