Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

[Penguins]

Congrats, sigh ordered the same day as me and I've yet to get my VIN as of today and I'm on the east coast...

Have you reached out to your SA?

I just got my new pick-up date... Wednesday. The service center tracked down the delivery driver and got an ETA when the car will be at their store. Just rescheduled my rental car. I'm not upset because I don't think this was something they had control over. The service center was really helpful and said they were going to send me updates regarding where the car is at along the way. Must be nice to have a product so many people want, but so hard dealing with not being able to provide it to all the folks.
1 more day waiting sucks but at least I can afford a Tesla (for now) and I have a garage with its own charger. In the big picture, I'm feeling really blessed.

Outstanding. Pics required.

Enjoy the heated steering wheel.

I didn't know if you chose FSD or not. We didn't, but be sure to enable the Autosteer (Beta) setting under Autopilot before driving and try it on your long drive back. It's just enhanced Cruise control but it keeps you in the dead center of the lane. You only need to tweak the steering wheel every 60-90 seconds with slight pressure to let it know you're awake. It makes for a much more relaxing drive on the highway. Enable with two down presses on the drive stalk instead of one.

Also, don't worry you'll probably have the old software version installed like 2020.47.101.1 that still has the nice large bold fonts, the green battery gauge, and a larger map, etc. Sentry mode is buggy but is fixed later. Don't get too used to the look of this version. After a few days connected to home WiFi you'll get a new cumulative version with tons of new stuff like the ability to fart at people on the outside speaker when you're in park, etc. (no lie) My wife's just got her update today from 2020.47.101.1 to 2021.4.10.1 which includes the earlier changes the interface to light gray smaller fonts and a bit smaller map and gray battery level. Musk said the interface would all change later so it can be customized.

It's all good, not to worry. Enjoy it.

Based on this timing no way I get my car in March.

I was just getting that feeling myself but looking at the posts and the spreadsheet I convinced myself of my own target date of around March 20th.....regardless of what it says on my Tesla account.

no - you are west coast and Tesla fills the orders here in the last month of the quarter. You ordered plenty early to get in on the March deliveries from what I have seen. Lots of people order about the 12th - 18th of the last month of the quarter and get cars within a week based on history in spreadsheet.

ok ... this is good to know. My order date was 2/21 so looks like I squeaked in

Have you reached out to your SA?

Yuuup and didn't sound like theres much they can do.

I talk about Tesla so much my 5 yr old gets excited. We were in Vancouver most of Last year and they are everywhere and my daughter just loved to look at them all so she could see the “iPad” inside. This was way before I even ordered. Had to wait until I got back home. She’s going to come with me to pick it up and be the first to sit in it and drive it home with me. It’s going to be a special day for her.

The poster is talking about the 18th of the last month of the quarter - in this case, March. Your (and my!) Feb 21 order is plenty early. We need to just chill.

Both my kids are pretty excited along with me, truly down to ride. I'm sure absolutely everyone else who I interact with in any meaningful way knows more about this car than they ever wanted to and really just wants me to stop talking.

Where is this order tracking spreadsheet of which everyone speaks? When I click on the forum thread for this spreadsheet, it just takes me to another forum where people are posting their order details.

Do you still have a delivery date on your order? Since i know how close you are to me, its the only thing that will help my sanity.

02/05/21

Ordered it that evening after the test drive. The car sold itself. I told people it will have to blow my socks off on the test drive because I was ready to pull the trigger on another car. And it most certainly did.

I'm back to 4-7 weeks from order date. I only had dates for like 16 glorious hours.

You and I are living the same life - back to 4-8 weeks for the last 2 days. I really hope we get a VIN this week.

1/6 msm/white and I’m in tampa Florida

jealous, ordered same date and colors, FSD, wish I had my pickup date here in Houston

Just got the dreaded delivery delay text. Going from Wednesday to Friday. Disappointing but it's all good. I can wait a couple more days.

 

[Ljramsey]

Pricing up my LR M3 tomorrow, March 2nd. Ordered on February 4th.

Yes, I am super excited!

I went through that today... had a serious bout with disappointment but next year I won't even remember the delay, just that I had to wait a few weeks to get it.

I'll definitely post pics. It will get 2 road trips this week. 1 from KC home and the other to OKC this weekend. I plan on using the autopilot/autosteer... and test out that sound system I've not heard the 14 speaker system yet.
