Finally -- picked Midnight up on 9/21. The Tesla SA made me accept delivery prior to inspection, but oh well. I did not find anything wrong with it after spending time viewing it outside. No panel gaps issue. Couple of marks on the seat, but I was able to clean it when I got home. Immediately went home and swapped out the aero wheel covers for the matte black Mayde wheel covers, blacked out the emblems, made a tint appointment (aiming for 20% ceramic), installed glass screen protector, added in USB docking station in the center console, 3D printed mats and that's about it. After my tint, I'll be done....for now.

Are those the glossy or matte black?

[jaygeewin]

A very happy congrats!! I’m extremely excited for you and can’t wait to hear about your first drive

As a side note, I officially have my car after a tint and ceramic coat. Went with 40% tint on side windows only and looking good! Makes a big impact with the heat here.

Apologies for the pole in the photo lol. Hard to get a photo on the road

Matte Black!

I’m undecided on getting those or the Uberturbine lookalikes.

Appeal to James Fridman. I'm sure he can do something with the pole. You may not want what he does with the pole, but I'm sure it would be interesting.

The only rewards is for solar at the moment. They use to reward supercharger miles for car purchases.

So Tesla did away with get free supercharging when referring someone?

Yes. That was discontinued almost exactly a year ago. There are no remaining referral promotions for Tesla vehicles.

Referral Program

 

[deuskid]

Woo hoo! Congrats! I bet with raising interest rates and new tax credit coming, it was a probably a finance fall through or cold feet.

I'm certain mine was a 'fall through' or reject but it was flawless when I accepted it. Wishing you all the best. It had 4 miles on it when I accepted delivery.

Update: Found a White / White M3LR No FSD Aero Wheels in existing inventory in Sacramento. I bit the bullet and purchased it. Hoping the car was a clean reject -- VIN 364XXX

EDD is Sept 25-Oct 4 (but most likely very soon)

So did you elect to buy a car that was already in inventory, instead of waiting for your specific build?

 

[deuskid]

Is there some way to open the trunk while outside the M3?

 

[JB47394]

Here's the owner's manual section on using the trunk:

Model 3 Owner's Manual | Tesla

 

[Zane Liu]

Quick question for CA folks. How long did it take for you to receive a license plate? I believe Tesla completes registration so you just sit and wait?

Is there some way to open the trunk while outside the M3?

Yeah! Few options. You can use the app or if you have phone key you can just press the trunk release by walking up.

 

[Cho22]

So did you elect to buy a car that was already in inventory, instead of waiting for your specific build?

Yup, I got fed up with waiting after my last EDD was pushed to Dec '22 again and from some advice on here, I looked at the existing inventory and there was an M3LR with a similar config as mine except had white interior instead of my black option. I ended up taking it yesterday and have delivery in 2 days.
