LR AWD Waiting Room

[RickW]

@MrFusion Darn it! There I go again. I was again beginning to feel extra special only to find out it's a mass mailing.

However I think that the moral of this story is as follows: IF YOU WANT A TESLA DON'T BOTHER ORDERING UNTIL YOU ARE WITHIN 6 WEEKS OF THE END OF QUARTER. Can you imagine what the December run will look like? This is beginning to look like a pattern.

My only concern and hope is that none of these cars are being made in an end of quarter tent. Mr. Musk, fit and finish is much more important than pleasing wall street.

VIN finally showed up on my order page.
It is not the same VIN I saw in the source code when I got my delivery date.

Also, the information about my referral link says 3000 km.

Not sure what the usual order of texts is but just as a data point I ordered on 9/12/19 and just got a text today (9/16/19) saying my car "will be exiting the factory and heading" my way "in the next few days". Not sure if that's just the standard order received message or if it really will be on the way in a few days (which would be great).

M3 LR AWD, white with black interior, 18" wheels

I ordered a M3 LR AWD MSM black inter, 18" wheels on 8/24

No text about exiting the factory. FML

Same boat here. Radio silence. 8/29 for me.

I placed my order online yesterday 9/16 for M3 LR AWD White/Black with 18" Aero. My SA told me the white is taking longer to get since it's free. I called him after placing my order & told him I would also take a black or red if they had anything in inventory. He said right now they didn't have anything. I was hoping for an upgrade. Does this mean I won't get an upgrade or is it possible that something could come in before end of month? Also home delivery is no longer an option. I either have to pick up in SF or Fremont. My SA said he will try & see if he can get it delivered to the showroom/SC since I live 2 miles from them. I'm so excited!!!! (insert happy dance)

UPDATE: SO HAPPY!

Called my SA today to check on the status of my 08/23 order LR AWD MSM/Black AP 18" Areo. He said California wouldn't be getting a shipment of vehicles until 09/24 and it's going to be MASSIVE shipment. He then placed me on hold and came back with the "Stealth" Model P3D—(Might not be correct abbreviation) was mysteriously in-stock as he just checked yesterday and saw nothing. He matched me immediately and gave me a $2,500/off for paint/wheels + (2)year SC. So I just got a P3D for 1k more, WOOT!!

Data Points:
Original Order: 08/23 LR AWD MSM/Black AP 18" Aero - Delivery Date Unknown!
Matched Order: 09/16 LR AWD Performance MSM/Black AP 19" Sport Wheels - Delivery Date 09/20 (WOOT)
VIN: 5YJxxx (not sure what's safe to put here)

Questions: Please attach/point me in the right direction I apologize!
1. Can I swap out the 19" wheels for 18" wheels?

If you're in Nor Cal I'll swap with you when my M3 comes in

Where in the Bay Area are you? I ordered in Dublin but picked up at Fremont delivery center (sadly, it's not the factory) on Fremont Blvd. Kinda fun since there had to be like 60 cars there all ready for pickup. Also, recommend you keep an eye out for inventory cars on Tesla.com...they are posting new cars daily (I would check every hour or so) and you can get matched to one if it shows up. A long range in Burlingame is available (black with white interior) this morning.

I'm in Millbrae and Burlingame is less than 2 miles from me. I would jump on the black except I'm afraid of the white interior lol. But thanks for the info, I'll keep checking online.

 

[CASE01]

How long did it take for you get that confirmed (I stress confirmed) in your order details?

I say that because we've been told elsewhere across different threads that it's one or the other: 2 free years of SC or up to 2 discounted upgrades, but not both.

I also have a similar situation and the discounts don't show up on my order yet.

Confirmed discount showed this morning and I just made my final payment.

I'm not, SoCal kid!

 

[Holotype]

Confirmed discount showed this morning and I just made my final payment.

Thanks for the confirmation. It seems although my OA promised these discounts over the phone, it's taking them a while to actually process/apply them.

I'm pretty annoyed as I'm at the final payment stage as well.

Log into your account page. Hit "view source" on your browser (might have to right click on the mouse) and hit ctrl F (or find function). Search for 5YJ. This this the start of a VIN. If you see something, your VIN is assigned. If not, it's more waiting. Good luck!

Keep watching. Several new awds popped in the Seattle inventory around noon today. red, blue & white were taken quickly, black is still there.

So I tried calling Tesla customer service to check on the status of my order. Im just hitting the 3 week mark since I ordered and I’ve heard nothing at all. Not even a text.

I called and tried to talk to any rep. Every time I tell them where I live It forwards to me to voice mailbox that’s full and disconnects the call immediately. I’m pretty impressed how terrible this service is. I can’t even talk to a real person. While they make interest on my money down for 3 weeks without any information. I live California too.

How is this better than buying a car from a dealership? At least I could talk to someone at one.

So I’m going to stop by a Tesla store I guess and see if anyone can help me. I would be totally fine with all this if they just let me know what’s going on.

What you're experiencing is no different than the rest of us. I ordered 8/3 and picked up my car on 9/14. I went to the sales location in Dublin CA every weekend to take cars out for a test drive. I also checked the Tesla website almost hourly to see if any inventory cars popped up that I could assign to my order. And I checked my account daily to see if a VIN was assigned. I'm pretty impatient and the waiting game was painful. That said, it was all worth it to see my car on Saturday at the delivery center. It was beautiful. Hang in there!!

Huh...is this a coincidence or are they related at all? Since I ordered with the wheel/interior discounts my sales rep told me to wait until the VIN is generated before entering any payment info or securing financing because the price currently on the order page isn't accurate of the actual final price. I just want to make sure I'm not holding off on a step that's preventing my order from going through.

I don’t think it’s a coincidence. I think getting finance approved advances the order, but I could be wrong.
