And in comparison with Ford, Dodge, eyc... The are a very new company which has to make their start somewhere. I think you are overstating their ability. You order a car you wait 1-3 months which is pretty on par with other car manufactures. So........?

Yes. My registration fees and taxes are based upon the initial purchasing cost moving forward in the state of Washington. Instead of my car being $62,000, it will show up at $50,000 and my cars taxable value will base itself off of that cost. The aftermarket upgrade of FSD is only taxed for sales tax value and will no longer influence my registration fees in the future.

I am picking mine up Next sunday.. I don't have a VIN on the account page yet either.. but i spoke with an SA at my SC and they said it will be there on the 5th.. and I can pickup 6,7,8 so obviously I picked the 6th.
It is on par with the rest for electric vehicles. Maybe a bit better. Car wise it’s the best one to me bar none. I test drove it and didn’t even try to test drive others because it’s just too good. I’m impatient always have been. Imma hit 3 months when they expect my car which is insane to me but at this point off imma wait. I just got my keep lost week. Have a Toyota Camry as my daily and a GMC truck for longer trips with the family. But this M3 will most likely be my favorite once it arrives.

Forgot we are waiting around the same time bro!
were being tortured with all the May VINs. Hopefully we hear better news soon. When I heard late June for production date for mine it dropped my Tesla high. But eh guess I just gotta wait.

Are you referring to the RTA? I was under the impression that the DOL based RTA fees on the database values that they maintain and has nothing at all to do with the Bill of sale pricing.Yes.

Car was driven to our house around 10:30 am or so and delivered with 186 miles SoC. The delivery person, Iman, was very pleasant and helpful and she mentioned that they got over 100 cars on Friday. Although the communication we received said to sign and mail the paperwork back, they actually wanted them signed and handed over. Just after she arrived and started talking to us, her ride rolled up.
The only real snafu right now is they are having some problem with releasing the car to us, so online we don't have the option yet to "Accept Delivery" and setup the App. It's now almost 3PM and the car is basically in Valet Mode as far as I can tell.
I checked the car over and I didn't see any noteworthy panel gaps (i'll check again after the excitement has worn off a bit) but the left rear light has a bigger gap between the light and the trunk lid compared to the right. One of the rear door-handles might not be flush but I am going to re-check.

I just went to the Burbank pick up location. The guy said cars start to arrive June 20th and dont get scheduled for delivery til the last few days of June. Told me to ignore all estimates it won’t be sooner. The live chat told me June 4th. This is the stuff people in this thread complain about and rightfully so

And they don’t prioritize order date. They prioritize locations and unfortunately California is the last one

Yes. And the database is based on the features of your vehicle when it is registered. They have a database with the M3 LR AWD with FSD installed from the factory, and an option without as well as other features and additions. It's based on your VIN and the MSRP provided to WA DOL. Other states will have different tax and registration schemes.
I'd like to compare someone else in my area who recently purchased a matching model with FSD versus my RTA fees without FSD. I'm almost positive I paid slightly less.
I’m not a good comparison because I have a performance on order, but my RTAs for the performance are $627.
The DOL advice specifically says that they don’t take features into account:
Almost certainly, but that’s my point. The dealership experience was terrible, and my experience with Tesla has been much better.
I just double checked… it looks like I might be wrong here… it looks like maybe cars w/ FSD are referred to as “Auto” models and are reflected in the database with the 10K price increase.
Really strange that they are looking at that feature and wheel upgrades but not paint color, or interior upgrades.

You can have a great car and also have a shitty ordering process
