Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

[hemikat]

Wall connector, key fob w/ holder, all weather floor mats & trunk liner, tire repair kit, extra charging adapters, extra memory stick, jack adapters, sub-trunk organizer, screen protector, cup holder insert, sport matched dead pedal, dog seat cover, blue footwell LEDs, and some other odds and ends. I'm about $1600 in and I don't even have the car yet.

Waiting (and shopping) while waiting, and shopping some more.

I thought I was going crazy buying stuff, but you win! Maybe this is Tesla's plan. Make them wait 5 weeks and see how much extra they will spend.

Tesla to get access to $7,000 tax credit on 400,000 more electric cars in the US with new incentive reform - Electrek

Does this give anyone else pause? I mean I can’t wait for the car, but if waiting 3-6 more months reduced the price $7,000... I mean I can be patient. Of course nothing about this guarantees the law will pass.

What cup holder insert did you get? I couldn’t find one that worked with the 2021 model 3

I went with this one...

The last week felt like a month.

Just wait until you get your VIN. It gets worse. Start now by practicing a huge non-stop grin on your face for 12 hours a day so you'll be ready and all trained up when your vehicle does arrive. Make sure you've completed all your account steps so there's no hidden delay.

We'll be driving the 5 hours (one way) to KC in the polar vortex to pickup my wife's Model 3 LR AWD on the 19th for pickup on the 20th. With the predicted below freezing temps and high winds, it will be interesting to see how the return trip goes with supercharging, etc. I've already modeled the trip in abetterrouteplanner.com by tweaking the default temps and wind. Glad we'll be driving the long range version.

No pause here. Don’t those kinds of laws typically apply to a Tex year, versus after a specific date? If they pass it, it may go retroactive for 2021 (filed in 2022).

Thats my pickup location too. I've not seen sustained temps this cold in my area in a long time. Still looking forward to the drive to get it. I'm hoping to have it before mid March because my wife and I are going to your area-- OKC... Then we will only have to worry about the tornados

Tornado's, hail, fracking generated earthquakes, and the occasional mid April freeze.

There's a great steakhouse just 2 miles from the delivery center if you don't want to venture into KC. Jess and Jim's.

I’m interested in knowing this as well. Has anyone found a sure answer on this? That said, it isn’t going to make me wait either way. This change has only been introduced so it may or may not take effect. On top of that, the price (without tax incentives) was right for me when I bought the car and I don’t think I want to put this off any longer for something that may fall through.

No it wouldn’t be retroactive. Since there is a cap, they will track it by VIN. So only the new cars manufactured after bill passes will apply. Idk if I could hold out, it would be smart, but there’s a chance it won’t pass.

 

[Supatony]

The bill stated that it would only apply to sells after it has passed.

Tough call on the possible credit

I think there is a good chance it will be filibustered in the senate, but it is a signature issue for the other side.

There is also the possibility that if it passes Tesla will change their pricing.

Ordered White/Black Interior LR AWD on 02/10
Expected Delivery 03/10 - 04/07

Question: I got an email today to 'Complete Your Pre-Delivery Tasks' asking me to update my payment method. I will be financing either through my own or a Tesla preferred. Should I wait until closer to delivery to complete this step?

Also, I am seeing conflicting reports about the new headlights. What is the latest info?

Thanks. I will probably check it out. I thought electric car owners were supposed to be vegan though
I ordered this car because it was the coolest car made for the money. My wife just puts up with my car habit, but even she loved this car. We are currently building a 1950 Mercury together.

If they do delivery from East to West, you should be getting soon. These 12 days have been enough to make me nuts waiting. Hope you get yours soon.

I'm happy for you East coast people... I'll just sit here.. crying in California.

It was -11 out this morning, so at least I have a VIN to warm my heart.

 

[DoctorNomNom]

I don't know how people have patience..its only been 3 days since I ordered and I am already refreshing the page non-stop. Its like im a little kid on Christmas morning again.

AWD LR Metallic Silver with Black/White Interior to Columbus, Ohio

My local guy was pretty confident I would get it by early March because of where we are located.

Black or white interior? I'm not sure if I've seen a white interior assigned a VIN yet... the wait is killing me!!!
