Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

[kxts]

Who did you call at Tesla? What number was it? Or did you just call the local store?

I called the main number at 888-518-5732. If you select the options for an existing order and enter your zip code, it then routes you to the local store.

My SA (at a different store) isn’t the most helpful, so I’ve had better luck getting info this way.

My delivery range just updated, mashing F5 must have helped! Ordered 10/31, original range 12/13-12/31, now showing 11/29-12/13! Blue LR 18" black interior, no FSD, delivery to Seattle.

 

[Scrappy22]

Update.... Mine was Ordered in NJ on 10/23... Today I was told would be the build date, but as of an hour ago I still showed 12/5-12/31. Just now it changed to 11/24-12/5 delivery. No vin, but it's on it's way

 

[kxts]

My account finally has a delivery estimate listed for the first time in 2 months...Nov 24 - 29. Definitely will be towards the end of that window since the car just came off the assembly line today.

Ordered 10/15 LR AWD Gray/ Black. In Boston area. Waiting for VIN. Hoping soon. Delivery estimated from today to 12/17

My delivery window changed sometime between leaving work and after eating diner. Was Dec 4-Dec 31 and now says Nov 24-Dec 4. No VIN yet, but I did text my SA. I'm in TX, and because of our stupid dealer laws and stupid politicians, we have to have insurance and the car paid in full before it ships. Here's to hoping I can get the VIN tomorrow and at least get insurance set up.

Ordered 10/22, LR blue/white in Houston, TX

 

[tstolze]

Just ordered 2 LR AWD's, Blue and Black both with White Interior.
12/16-12/31 estimated delivery
We let our Advisor know we want to wait until 1/2/2021 or later for delivery due to our local Personal Property Tax declaration dates.

How do you know if just came off the assembly line?

I mentioned the same to our SA. Our personal property taxes are calculated the same way. She said if we refuse a car that is available before that date it could possibly push it out till end of 1st quarter 2021? Said because every quarter the first shipments go overseas and then ship domestically.

I called Tesla shortly after receiving my VIN today (needed to update financing), and the SA told me that my car had just finished production today. It’s possible he was wrong and it’s been sitting around for a few days, but either way he said it was still in Fremont waiting to be loaded onto a truck to Portland.

This was definitely the case this quarter due to the switchover to 2021 production, however there’s a good chance there will be inventory vehicles available in Jan 2021 (there were plenty of inventory 2020s available in October.) Production is looking to be higher this quarter than last by a fair amount and less cars are going to Europe since Shanghai started shipping some there. You might have to compromise on color and other options.

Still a risk though. They could indeed sell out and not have any cars until March.

We let our SA know after our test drive today that we understand the delivery process and the Tesla deliver everything before the end of the quarter mentality and that we are willing to stick to our guns even if it delays delivery until February or March. We drive vehicles from 2007 and 2011 currently and this will take or Property Tax from under $200 to over $2000, with delivery after the 1st, we won't pay Property Tax until the end of 2022

*November 24

On topic but random question. How do they get from Fremont to NJ? Do they just load up dozens of car transporters and head out across country? Feels like that’s a lot of transporters... I’m assuming so but I don’t see that many car transporters on the roads so just got to wondering...assuming they don’t load them on the train...a ship wouldn’t work so well and the boring company haven’t finished the necessary tunneling yet!

Here is what changed today:

• Original Order "2020" Delivery Ranged updated from 11/1 - 11/29 to 11/20 - 11/29
• Second Order "2021" Delivery Range updated from 11/19 - 12/20 to 11/20 - 11/27

Given neither has been assigned a VIN I'm doubtful either will be ready for delivery before the end of November.

Checked tesla.com today (ok checked like 5 times today) and noticed the original order was assigned a "2021" VIN and the delivery date range was bumped to 12/7 - 12/13. No text or email from Tesla or SA.

Interestingly enough, the second order, which was done on 10/16, had not been assigned a VIN.
