I took delivery of my 2021 Model 3 Long Range in Midnight Silver Metallic with 19" wheels Thursday evening. To say this whole process was easy other than waiting a few weeks was an understatement. Greatest car I’ve ever owned hands down by a wide margin. Great quality and panel fitment. It allows me to enjoy driving in the ways I want and helps avoid the worst parts of driving that cause frustration. I love my Model 3 as much as I love my house. Thanks to all for the moral support and vindication of this forum while waiting. Its a once in a lifetime experience to do this. It’s worth it. I’m very grateful.

Just saw your latest post about you getting your vision update and VIN, so I figured what the heck and checked mine (there was no update to it yesterday morning when I looked). Imagine my surprise when I see the vision agreement is there and now a VIN! Super excited and can’t wait to have a car again… it’s been a long 3 months without one.

Does anyone know if with home delivery and a trade in, you can keep the plates of your trade in?

My Burbank CA delivery date just moved from 8/28-9/6 to 9/01-9/08. So moved 2 days to the right, but now it is 7 day range. I hear when the range is down to 7 days, my VIN is coming soon?

welcome to the party, same config here 7/29 , do you have a date yet in account?
So far it's the same EDD as the SR+ (Oct 28-Nov 17), but I'm sure that will change this week. Before I made the change, my SA said the date in the system was Nov 3. My SR+ order date was Aug 8... I'm guessing that doesn't matter anymore.

yeah a few SR+ have popped up around me with the new battery in stock but after already waiting 4 weeks i am better riding it out and i heard the new batteries they are putting on the SR+ dont charge well in the cold, i ate $100 already switching from a performance to a M3LR just because i wanted the extra range at the end of the day

i got buyer remorse honestly... thought i was spending too much and just cancelled my first order... gave it a thought for about 48 hours and decided the LR was the better fit for me... i was honestly unsure and still contemplating what i was going to get when i initially cancelled but now i am certain that this config is what i want and glad to be waiting it out

We are all feeling your pain. I think it's completely inexcusable and unacceptable to have that happen. At least you do have a long-term test drive car that hopefully makes things slightly more bearable, but still.
Have you thought of going the executive complaint route? You should write to tell your story. Hopefully someone will make things right. I don't know if Elon Musk is one of those CEOs that personally replies to email, but there's no harm in trying him or someone in his team.
If I remember correctly, you said your car had been left in the sun and lost full charge. Electronics get degraded with heat, and I would worry that some of the systems had some damage. The thing with heat degradation is that the circuits will continue to work OK, except they'll be more likely to fail. You might have sporadic issues here and there, but in the long run, your car's components may end up lasting 10 years instead of 20 or more. I would want to find out the full story about the loss of power, how long it lasted, where the car was when this happened, for how long, etc. And then either get a new one, or have them extend your warranty to cover for potential degradation.
Good luck, I don't think I'm alone in wishing this ordeal ends pretty soon for you.
Got my delivery scheduled! 9/9 in Alpharetta 
7/4 OD, Blue, Black interior, 18 inch wheels, VIN on 8/24.

Things are looking good. Got my VIN yesterday and today I scheduled a delivery for 9/6. Oddly enough I didn’t have the option to pick it up despite that being the only choice when I ordered.
Ordered 7/31, blue ext, black int, sport wheels

Originally scheduled 08/30 18:00 CDT for delivery. Knew the car arrived in STL on Fri 08/27 and found her on the lot - manufactured 08/18, same day I got my VIN. Monday is supposed to pour rain/storm all day so called first thing Saturday upon store opening and asked if I could take delivery same-day. As everything was ready minus detailing, I received an updated 15:00 pick-up time. Email at 11:30 said it was ready and I officially accepted delivery at 13:33. All told, I first reserved pre-unveil 1979 days prior, but was unable to complete an order due to country-hopping for work. Finally was able to pull the trigger 06/10 and 80 grueling days later the wait is over.
Car looked great on walk-around. Panel gaps were mint. Some residue from the plastic wrap (probably due to rushed detailing) and recessed rear handles others have mentioned too (easy mobile service fix). Some oddities with the rubber around the driver's and right-rear doors but I probably am not going to worry about those. Lots of Plaids being delivered, but sadly nobody wanted to trade. Pic on delivery day and the final EDD timeline plot below. Good luck all.
