I second...Worth.The.Wait.
Picked up in Dedham MA. It took 3 weeks from order to delivery. They were delivering 163 Teslas that day...Or so they wanted.
I wish everyone luck. It's quite a car. Nervous about potential repairs and all that stuff because it's expensive but drive carefully, park carefully etc! What a darn car. Now please Tesla, allow an update for CarPlay and Android Auto so I can use Waze, then you will leapfrog the competition once again.
I see no choice but major auto manufacturers to really dive into the EV business. I think Toyota has a shot in 2-3 years.

Congrats on the new car!
I don't see CarPlay or Android Auto coming any time soon. But Waze is owned by Google which is the source maps Tesla uses. And some Waze data is incorporated into the map in your Tesla. For full functionality maybe Waze can create a version of their app for Tesla as Spotify did. But you might lose things you have today like pre-heating the battery pack for fastest charging when you navigate to a SuperCharger.
Waze has a lot more functionality like identifying obstructions, police, etc...Yes traffic data seems good on Tesla...But what better way to "stick it to the man" then to say, "see, software update, great features".
Android Auto's voice recognition is so much better than Tesla's...and it's based on the phone which is amazing in itself. Imagine Android Auto on that big screen...Or even half of it (so we don't lose supercharger info).

Took delivery of my Model 3 as scheduled last weekend. The Chicago-Westmont location was very busy with deliveries and test drives. They definitely could use a few more staff members to handle the workload. I had to wait about 1/2 hour beyond my scheduled time but when they got to me it went very smoothly. Since my home location was about 150 miles they put me on the fast charger in the service area to make sure I had enough charge to get home. After less than a week of ownership and about 800 miles of driving I'm still learning the ins-and-outs but definitely loving this car. There is a supercharger about 3 miles from my house so I've made several stops there already while I decide which level 2 charger to install at home.

Thinking of all the majors, Toyota made a huge mistake not investing years ago in designing EV's. They have been sitting on their almost 2 decade old Prius design and decided to go fuel cell direction for some reason?? They are now way behind in EV evolution IMHO.

I wonder if all these cars showing up in existing inventory are people that cancelled or couldn't take delivery after waiting so long? 
Pretty cool they rather make inventory cars rather than fulfill ord
No They did it to entice people to buy them last minute. People's orders still haven't been completed from October and they're building inventory cars....

Just got a text to set up appt for delivery in Buena Park. We chose 12/23, 9am to pickup our White/black LR AWD that was ordered 11/4. It will be 7 weeks since order date. Hope we get a good one!

Crazy strategy but I guess they are confident they will be able to fulfill the existing orders before 12/31 at the same time.
Screws people who travel over the holiday. I had to postpone/cancel my holiday trip to make sure I get the car before the 1st.

10/25 Order date in Seattle, got a text this am for an 11am appointment on Sunday the 22nd - this was after I got the text to schedule a time yesterday, where immediately all the times were filled . Trying to get a hold of anyone who can help me reschedule, VM is full at the service center, and haven't received a text back from my SA since about 3 weeks ago. I guess we'll see what happens if I no-show. I'm taking my kids to a Christmas show (annual tradition) and I'm not going to bow out for a car.

I just could not give up that white interior lol slept on it....and just couldn't do it.
Wow, Tesla moves fast. Got text to schedule to take delivery this Saturday, but then this morning got a call from them to pick up today! Be ready people. Things happen fast. Good luck everyone!
Congrats. Did you VIN show on your actual manage page yet? Mine appeared in source yesterday but no call or text from the delivery center as of yet. I'm getting ready to just call them and see if they need anything else from me.
