Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

[xxmatty87xx]

Like most everyone above me, my dates also shifted right to 12-26 March, after I accepted the message about Tesla Vision and one about cars being sourced both from Fremont and Shanghai and I might get either. I got a message in the app saying my VIN was assigned but it's not showing on the pages (online or app). The agent that's been very good about texting me though reached out unprompted and sent me the VIN which is great. It is an LRW prefix VIN which I think means a Shanghai build.

A question, my trade in offer dropped VERY appreciably (like $6K drop) between the pre order estimate and the firm offer after deposit. Anyone else get this? I had a (thankfully warrenty) SRS fault item go off right after I put in my trade in pictures, so I'm wondering if the drop might be they can see that and are flagging the car as needing repairs (which are already scheduled to be fixed in the next few days anyhow). Just wondering what others experience has been with the estimate vs. offer, and if there's a bit of bait and switch going on or something specific to that issue with my car that I can get reassessed for the offer after the fix is done.

They offered you 6k less in a period of a month? What car is this and mileage? Also did you add a lot of mileage since the first request. Or are you speaking about the Trade in estimate compared to the official trade-in offer?

That's hard to swallow. I got 25500$ with 114000KM as a rough estimate. Mentioned that i have a Stealth Hitch (removable) and currently using aftermaket wheels because of my winter tires. (Did sent picture of them and mentionned that i will install them prior to the trade up. They are near perfect.)

Still waiting for the final offer. Hope i don't get the same "bait and switch".

Im doubting is a mileage thing, unless 100,000 kms were put on in that timeframe, probably assume its the error issue .

If anyone is curious, here is the FSD transfert agreement i received after mentioning the FSD transfert to my advisor earlier today.

99% of the time you’re better off selling the car yourself IMO

I also was uncertain with the trade in procedure. Last fall I received a trade in offer which I thought was low. I did not accept and my purchase was cancelled and I lost the $250. Then the new Model 3 was announced. I made another purchase with a trade in. This trade in offer was $2,600 more than the first one. I accepted. Offer was only good for 30 days. Lo and behold, this week, the offer expired and my new offer is $1,700 less. On the bright side, this latest offer is still more than what they offered last year.

Does anyone know the capacity for the Shanghai made LR battery?
Don't seems to find the specific amount. From what i heard it will be slightly less than the NA made ones.

I thought it was the exact same battery as that's why the model 3 cant get the 7500 tax credit in the USA
