Just to update everyone: got my Tesla today, and it's the first time I've ever driven a Tesla. Took me a bit before really getting the hang of it, definitely changed the handling to "roll" to more mimic traditional manual transmission cars I am used to.
I am really enjoying the face melting acceleration. I don't even see the need for the $2000 "acceleration boost" option. All the money saved on gas will definitely be put back into wheels/tires hahaha
Order 4/1, available 5/31, picked up 6/2.
8 longest weeks ever hahaha. At least it wasn't 13...

How do you put your 3 on hold? What does putting on hold mean? Is it a way to lock in your purchase price but delay delivery of the vehicle? Sorry for all the questions, just considering doing a similar thing.I GOT A VIN!
But not through the normal methodsI happened upon a black/white Model Y available in new inventory in Los Angeles and since I was on the edge of 3/y anyway I ended up going for the Y. It has 7 seats and a trailer hitch, which is great. Once I placed the order, I immediately had to accept the teslavision and received my VIN. only 5am, so I'm going to be hitting up my SA as quick as possible to see if I can get a delivery date.
My model 3 order is going on hold in case I wont to sell my Y and get a 3 sometime in the future.
Good luck everyone!
I just asked my SA to put it on hold, so my order exists still and it shows in my account as:
Your delivery is on hold
With a button that says "I'm Ready!" It will hold you with the current price you ordered at, and you don't lose your $100 deposit. Whenever you're ready, you can proceed and get assigned a vin.
No problem with questions, ask away. Happy to answer what I can.

Hi from another Bolt buyback refugee. There‘s a lot to like about the Bolt, but ultimately we’ve both ended up here which says it all.
1 foot driving was grossly superior to the other options when I did my test drive prior to ordering... I found out, during my back to back test drives on a M3 and a MY back in April that chill mode blows, hold is the way, and the LR is darn quick, but there is room for improvement.
As to the acceleration boost, mine will have that before I leave the lot tomorrow. But, I used to own corvettes, which to be fair, the LR M3 would trounce soundly from a dig, and have a bit of a "need for speed".
Give yourself a couple weeks to get used to the face melting acceleration. At some point your sense of speed will adjust and that face melting acceleration will seem normal.
I used to race cars and during that time period everything seemed so slow to me on regular streets/highway driving. It is funny how the mind can adjust to things.

I got my VIN last Friday as well, picking up in Eden Prairie. I ordered white/black/18/no FSD on 4/16 and haven't heard anything from anyone yet. Did you call after you got a VIN and they say, oh yeah it's here! Do you think it's worth calling an advisor to see if it's there and ready and they just haven't forgotten or are being lazy?
The website said EDD May 31st to June 4th last Saturday so I expected a text/call by Monday or Tuesday, but every day I checked the dates kept moving further out by one day. Now it just says 7-10 weeks... SMH. It's been frustrating to have dates swing around all over the place. Makes timing and planning a ride there impossible! I live over an hour away so it's not exactly convenient to just pop in and check quick.

Yeah, my other car is a Nissan Frontier truck, so I'm really enjoying this.Give yourself a couple weeks to get used to the face melting acceleration. At some point your sense of speed will adjust and that face melting acceleration will seem normal.

First things
1. Gonna wash and de-iron the paint when I get home
2. Emailed local race car alignment joint everyone recommends to get an appointment
3. Gonna install PPF film on the car this weekend
Swung by Lynnwood today, just for the fun of it…
Perfect timing, two trucks of new Tesla fresh from Fremont. Mostly Ys but some 3s as well, maybe 15 or so total vehicles in the lot with QR codes

I did it all in one shot, i put a hold on the new model y then called the shop once they opened up, had them validate the car and put a hold on the model 3
