Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

[The Squid]

Hi,

I ordered a M3LR White/White with the 18" Aero wheels about a week ago. My estimated delivery date was 3/22-3/31. Yesterday, the estimated delivery date was dropped down to 2/15-2/25. I have not been issued a VIN as of yet. I contacted Tesla and they said it was good sign that things were moving along. Do you guys think it's a fluke or legitimate?

You will need to agree to this regardless whether you opted for FSD or not.

I just see these

Documents​

Order Agreement
Lemon Law Disclosure

Is it different for you?

Did you see the "We are making changes to your order" message in the app? If not, then the Vision Agreement is not there yet.

Mostly legit but don't be surprised if it moves again.

How is that for a good non-answer?

Nope, dont see that message. Sigh! Im not even there yet.

hahahah.....good one. Also, I was told I didn't need to fill out the financial information until a VIN is issued. Is this correct?

You'll get that message just prior to your VIN assignment. What is your OD?

Not totally sure about that, last time I bought my car I just put that I was paying cash (and brought my loan check from my bank to the delivery). I will be doing the same this time around as well.

I do know that there are some flags that you want completed so I just do them all to be safe. I currently have all tasks completed that it allows me to and the account says"

"Next Steps

• We will contact you to sign contracts and make final payment prior to delivery."

I do not have a vin yet, just an EDD of 2/8-3/8

Such a joy to pick up my car yesterday evening! Had a BLAST driving home from the Tesla store. 110% worth the wait. My 1659XX VIN car did come with Ryzen but I have no clue how to check the rest of the newer things. I have a dentist appointment this morning, and will be the HAPPIEST driver heading to a dental appointment ever. I also applied for 3 rebates immediately, since they take 45-90 days to process. Definitely google, as I found some local ones I'd never heard of, and am eligible for 3 rebates here in CA (Monterey Bay area) totaling $5500, plus $400 for the wall charger and free installation (up to 2k back on the install). Hang in there lovelies! You've got this, and it's SOOOOO worth it!!!

Very nice looking car! Congratulations. If you know of any super local rebates for the Monterey Bay area, can you let me know?

Only ones I know of are:

California: Eligible Vehicles | Clean Vehicle Rebate Project
Central Coast Community Energy (for car, readiness, and charger): Electrify Your Ride Program - 3CE
Monterey Bay Air Resources Board: Electric Vehicle Incentive Program

One other thing I will say is, I am enjoying the support everyone is providing each other here in this waiting room. Kudos to all of you for commiserating with each other, supporting each other with information, and providing help to one another.

I know there are a bunch of different factors at play here, but hopefully you get VIN soon though. Especially since we have very similar OD and EDD's ... (I'm still waiting for a VIN too).

Yours is moving along quite faster than mine (same pick up location), same build but with 18's and ordered early dec. Maybe I should've got 19's too

VIN (168XXX) received! Hopefully picking up next week!

Here's the recap:
Order date: Nov 10th 2021
Original estimate Dec 2021
Numerous EDD...
Jan 25th VIN assigned 153XXX, released
Jan 29th SAME VIN assigned, released
Jan 31st EDD: TBD
Feb 1st EDD: Apr 27th - May 26th [despair has entered the chat]
Feb 2nd EDD: Feb 13th - 21st (OK, that's better)
Feb 2nd: VIN (168XXX) assigned and confirmed Ryzen, Lithium 12V, and heated wiper park!

My SA is useless so I've started calling central support for everything and the majority of people I've spoken to there have been great. I asked a few details about the heated wiper park as it seems more difficult to find reliable info on that update. They said it is an embedded resistive element similar to the rear defroster that's placed below the hood line where the wipers rest. I've seen a few claim its simply new heater vents aimed at the lower portion of the windshield and that seem to not be the case. I have an entire heated windshield on my Range Rover that is awesome for snowy Colorado mornings since I don't have any covered parking available. I think the heated park area along with the instant heat available with EVs should make the Model 3 just as convenient. I am VERY excited and can't wait to exit this waiting game.

Now to get my DCU loan finished up. I've been on hold with them for an hour already.

Speaking of loans - were you already offered a rate? Mind sharing what you got? I hear wildly varying APRs from different forums.

EDIT:

^ Neat tool. You can check how much you want to pay down to see how much you pay over the life of the loan vs. paying cash.

OK, I might then switch to blue before my hold ends just to postpone my delivery further

BTW, I was just joking, there is a $1K price difference and I indeed want the MSM

Word is starting to spread about the Ryzen chipset. We've known about it for months, but a fairly mainstream YouTuber just shared the news 48h ago.

To his credit, he focuses not on the infotainment improvements but rather on the "futureproofing" aspect of having a more modern (and yes, more responsive) processor running things.
