Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

[MADevarenne]

I have received all of my EDD changes on Sunday mornings. Anyone else notice this same pattern? It's always right around 8am. Curious to see if they take Easter Sunday off, or if I'll get another update tomorrow.

Anyone else watch so many YouTube videos of Teslas that you literally dream of the car? I'm so ready for the maiden voyage I can hardly wait anymore!

I don't have to justify my purchase to anyone but I will say it's nice being able to point out where an EV, especially a Tesla, can save over an ICE car. Even adding an additional $400 puts a dent in that argument.

If this is true for existing orders, I’m going to be pretty upset. Bait and switch…

Especially already buying the adapter ahead of time.

Just pretty upset? Between our dates constantly being pushed back and now them pulling the plug on the included charger, this is starting to feel like very abusive relationship. That's gonna be a real a-hole move if they don't provide the chargers to people that had already ordered their cars knowing that was included.
I just finished self-installing a 220v outlet in my garage that cost me $200 (including the 14-50 NEMO adapter) so I could specifically use the "included charger". Now I might have to pay $400 for it which means a total of $600+tax? Odds are they're probably not going to credit us the $400 for orders before their dumbass decision. Maybe it's time to wipe the figurative blood off of our mouths and grab the pitchforks.

My daughter just asked me if there were any positives to the move and I said, "only that some may get so upset that they cancel their order, and I"ll get mine sooner". I'm only joking and hate to see this happen to all of us.

Got mine today (Saturday morning) and was pushed from 4/29-5/2 to 5/27-7/01 and that is being in "priority queue" after denying the original delivery because of body damage. I'm sure "priority" means absolutely nada and is just a term to make us all warm and fuzzy inside. Kinda what an ulcer does.

Elons statement makes no sense. Like I said, likely due to shortages.

 

[SantaCruzOMB]

Hopefully people taking deliveries going forward will confirm if they received the charging cable. I can't imagine they actually exclude this on pre-existing orders though especially if they are out of stock on the website.

Yikes that makes it look even worse for him, although it was clear before that his comment made no sense.

I made a poll in the charging forum if people want to vote how they *planned* to charge their new Tesla. Maybe this will show Tesla/Elon that people really were counting on using the mobile connectors.

Poll: How do you charge?

Given the recent news that the UMC is no longer going to be included with new vehicles due to “low usage staticstics”, let’s see how most people are charging.

The problem is some cars may have already been loaded with the kit and for a couple of weeks it may appear they're going to honor the previous orders but who knows when the cutoff will be. What a mess!

Here’s their first reply, along with my response. Waiting to see what they say.

Mine said the same and asked where I had seen they were being removed. I pointed to the website and twitter. He said he would have an answer Monday evening.

I mentioned in other posts that me and my friend both got our M3s just a month after ordering them from the same area (a week apart) and everyone here in the forums said that both were probably a fluke and due to other people denying theirs. He kept his and my wife denied ours so at the risk that this sounds cruel and I love you all, I hope lightning strikes twice and we get someone's cancelled VIN. If my wife denies this one, she's gonna be in the dog house. Like forever.

Mine hasn’t responded yet.

Mine hasn’t responded yet.

Mine said they are waiting for official confirmation from Tesla and will update.

Bad PR Tesla

They just got back to me and said "Our company has not given us any updates on this."

 

[LiquidXTC]

I'm fine with not getting it, already have the wall connector installed, I was going to keep it in the car for emergencies. Since they decided to take away something that was included with the car when I purchased it, I hope they can respect my decision to keep the difference...

 

[Tom_JS]

Same here…just had it installed

I have wiring for a 14-30 rated plug already so wall charger not an option.

Bought the adapter already too

I’m the same. But you can use the wall connector with 30amp wire. It can be de-rated. Still this really sucks. If it’s out of stock what are we supposed to do?

 

[Ajlepore]

The real question is what does that mean for those of us who placed an order before the removal?

They would have to honor it so I’m not worried. The website used to say included. They can’t change it after we bought it
