Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room
- Thread starter IChillinz
- Start date
Maybe not this year or next, but it’s a matter of time that other makes mimic and do what Tesla does equally or better. Saying that will never happen… is absurd.
Absolutely, I agree we need more transparency and that it’s valid to be angry about the lack of information. My car is falling apart and so I would really have appreciated the updates. I also haven’t been able to make any plans this month, when I have a week off because I don’t know if the car will arrive that week. So I absolutely understand!
My post was more about people who think sending angry messages or posting online is gonna speed up the process.

So my delivery appt was moved to Friday without notice, I messaged them 3 times asking for a reason, and no response (lol typical). I'm still waiting for them to contact me regarding an updated lease offer (still nothing as well lol) so by Thursday, unfortunately, I will 100% be canceling the order if they do not give me any type of update with my agreement. Usually, i would not be so fast to cancel, but I'd be saving almost $3,000 if I got the new lease deal, and I am not in the type of position right now to give that up. But I'll continue hoping for the best, even giving them the benefit of the doubt.. maybe! MAYBE they're doing the lease agreement right now and it just takes a long time (lol)
If I were you I'd go there in person and try and work it out. Relying on the app or text hasn't shown to get the answers you're looking for.
How would they know when the cars would be delivered if the cars aren't built yet? They can only go as fast as the factory.
I say this as someone who dislikes all things Tesla aside from the car and charging network.
Yeah or call them at the very least. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
I first thought the LR/ AWD is the problem but it does seem like its the white interiors. Any idea why those are getting delayed? is it procurement of some white leatherette/ raw materials or ventilation/ production issues with white seats or something else? are white ones from China facing the same problem?
Sorry - this might seem very academic for those for those frustrated waiters.. but fascinating to understand the supply chain.

It could be procurement or maybe issues with the new white ventilated seats. It could also be possible they were always planning on doing black interior batches first and then white ones. So there’s too ways to look at that, either they lied on their original estimates on purpose (honestly this is what I believe), or less sinister they did not have a game Plan on what order they would build the cars and when and now they’ve laid out that plan they retroactively delayed all those cars.
Whatever it is, it still sucks.
Can you got talk to someone in person? They are usually way more helpful that way.

I was lucky enough to demo drive a version with white interior a few weeks ago at an auto show in Santa Clara, so it's not like they can't produce them at all (interior quality was top notch by the way, at least that's what I felt during the 30mins drive).

Just inconvenient for me, as the delivery center is almost an hour away.
Long time lurker here, but just another white interior order pushed from Mar to April/May like so many others. Updated the Excel sheet for posterity.
OD: 1/10
AWD, Red exterior, white interior, Nova wheels, Boston, MA
Due date updated this morning from Mar 8 - Mar 31 to now Apr 8 - May 13

I'd go for sure --- your issue needs to be discussed in person -- worth the road trip.....
The anticipation is brutal.....I hope i'm not let down when I finally get my car -- never owned a telsa and so excited to tinker etc.
I'm intentionally at this point ignoring negative reviews of grumpy current model 3 owners saying the new car isn't better....
That is if you order now. 1/10 AWD orders with black interior can very much still get March. Dont ruin my day with that vague news!
If this was such a deal breaker for me I'd try and find a way to go. I'd kick myself if I could've gotten it resolved in person and didn't
