What'd you end up doing? It's currently on my order, but I just talked to 2 different friends that have M3s and each one gave me a different answer as to whether or not it's worth ordering.

It is killing me that they no longer offer the Silver Metallic....
Interesting. I ordered the exact same car on 10/18 and no VIN has shown up in the source code. Not sure if they are producing based on area within the US? I am in San Jose.
So, currently it's NOA and Smart Summon. You can easily live without both. Supposedly, feature complete might come out EOY or beginning of the next year to Alpha testers and then maybe a quarter later to a wide release. Could take longer because of the complexity and all the testing needed, but we might be getting it quite soon to play with.
There's a bit of a risk as it needs supervision and you are responsible, so maybe another 1-2 years until it's pretty safe.
Can you live without it? Yes, but it will be the coolest car gadget around to play with.
As far as robotaxi, don't know if anybody counts on income from it; it might take several years until it's in legal status and safe. I am not certain whether I'd send my car to TN.
So, there's personal toy use and money maker use (not very soon).

Does getting a VIN assigned have any relation to when delivery will be? I know when you are within striking distance of the estimated delivery it matters, but using this an example, does the VIN assignment mean it may come before the 5-9 weeks or just that they are scheduling what car you will get when that time comes?
You'd be surprised. AP is getting better all the time. It still has few hiccups, but once you are familiar with them on your route, you'd be pretty comfortable just supervising the car and letting it make the decisions. I think the same will apply to FSD - you supervise until you get comfortable. The car will eventually be a better driver than you. Few times when I was not on AP I missed seeing cars that I think the AP would see. So, I can totally see that when AP/FSD gets better, I will delegate the driving to them to de-risk the trip.
Seems like NA got a lot of VINs today. My VIN showed up in the source code today and it is a 2020 VIN to boot! 520,928

I took it off but i'm strongly considering adding it back on. Problem is. I'm leasing so it would really be throw away money if I went ahead and kept it. I do strongly believe Tesla will reverse course on the "You must turn in your lease at the end deal" I think they'll change 3 years from now for sure.

Also leasing. I really can’t justify $6k for a car I’m handing back in, in a few years, no matter how I look at it.
I'm buying and i'm pretty sure that in 5 years i'll be trading in this car for whatever the current hotness from tesla is .. -- and getting their current version of FSD at that time .. which will still be a work in progress.

Ordered M3 LR AWD Deep Blue with 19" wheels. ETA 5-9 weeks. Super excited.
Got a text this morning indicating my 3 is ready to be scheduled for delivery. Went online and scheduled for this Saturday (Nov. 2) at 8:00 a.m.
