Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room
- Thread starter IChillinz
- Start date
Those in California (or states that require a front LP) - Is it possible or normal to take delivery without the front plate holders drilled in? Coming from BMW and Mercedes, I've been able to request that they don't install the front plate bracket, and hasn't been an issue for me. Unsure how tesla delivers, but i'd like some insight on if it's possible to request this. Thank you!
Model 3 Highland front plate bracked is not drilled. You can attach the optional one with 3M tape.
Maybe a retrofit for front bumper camera will be added later on that have the LP there is not recommended.

This has been my theory as well. Let's hope we are right!

New to this thread, but this will be the second Tesla we’ve ordered! The first was an S, but now I’m very excited to have ordered the Highland M3 this past week! I got to test drive it at our local delivery center and absolutely fell in love. I can see I’ll be waiting awhile to get my hands on it, but glad I’m in good company

Welcome to the party. Honestly, with the stats you showed and your location, you’ll probably be in and out of here pretty quick.New to this thread, but this will be the second Tesla we’ve ordered!

I mean... unless you're on a road trip... you can charge AWD to 100% for sure and it def helps... you just don't want to do it all the time. Also the last 20% of battery charge is the slowest, so I'd rather quickly get to 290-300 miles of range than slowly get to 274.This has been my theory as well. Let's hope we are right!
Update!
The Tesla support team was able to reassign my original VIN, which is much appreciated and will not require me to redo insurance.
Now they just need to figure out if the logistics team will still be able to get the car here by Monday for the originally scheduled delivery. Fingers crossed
As of now, I should be picking up my new model 3 in about 24 hours! Advisor confirmed everything is still on track and the car will be available for my originally scheduled delivery. Kind of feel like a kid on Christmas Eve haha.
Will be my first EV... any recommendations on things to look for or settings to adjust on delivery day??
Bracket is not drilled on, it has 2sided adhesive strips to be glued to the bumper.
When schedule delivery, ask them not to install the frame.
normally they leave the bracket in the trunk, but ask them ahead of time just in case.
Same here-Jan 10 order. Just got pushed from 2/24-3/23 to 3/9- 3/31.
All 3 factors we have learned are delaying delivery: AWD, white interior, East coast.
