Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

Typically, these SA's provide no value to the transaction and I think that Tesla sales operations is figuring that out. In fact, I was told that Tesla is going to be shuttering some of their high-end retail locations in favor or just having the service centers. In turn, I would imagine that they would be "re-purposing" some of the existing SAs.

During my sales process, whenever I had a question on the Tesla chat, I was inevitably directed to reach out to my SA. Of course, these messages went un-returned without fail. Nonetheless, with a little legwork on my part, i got my questions answered, took possession of my vehicle and all is good.....But it does beg the question...how much more money could Tesla save (increase stock price)...if they just dumped these useless SAs.
This.

My SA has been completely unresponsive. I asked a couple simple questions, as well as inquiring if he can apply a referral code after the fact. He completely ignored my questions, but did ask for the code so he can apply it. I asked if he could please kindly confirm when done. He said “you got it” and radio silence ever since.

I found that reaching out to the little chat button on Tesla’s website yielded quicker results than calling/texting my SA.

Oh man, half the fun of this waiting process is buying all the goodies and holding the pieces in your hands imaging how they are going to look in the car. My wife has been gracefully putting up with my constant 'look what I got' show and tells, and 'did you know that...' commentary, embracing my enthusiasm 😄

Here's my list of goodies I have piling up...
All-Weather Trunk & Frunk Liners
Set of jack pads
Center console organizer set
Cupholder spring insert
Wind noise reduction trim for top glass
Door lock/latch covers
License plate frames
HVAC air intake leaf guard
Trunk grocery bag holder
Frunk screw hole covers
Foot pedal slip on pads + left foot rest cover
Same I keep getting the "You dont even have a car for any of it" lol

Would you mind sharing the links for the goodies? I am anxiously awaiting mine and feel like "buying stuff", too.
I've been doing the same-- since there can be a long wait for shipping (particularly on the floor mats).

Here's my list of goodies (each is a link):

Screen Protector
Screen Cleaner
3D Maxpider Floor Mats
Cupholder Insert (holds drinks securely; removable for cleaning)
Center Console Organizer Tray
Center Console Hidden Storage Tray
Armrest Organizer Tray
Armrest Hidden Storage
Performance Pedal Covers
Glove Box Organizer
Glove Box Bumper
Trash Bag for behind Passenger Seat
Vent Grille Protectors
Charger Lock for J Adapter
Charger Cap Protector
Door Storage Box
Frunk Organizer Tray
Grocery Hook for Trunk
Trunk Light Bar
LED Light Upgrade Kit
Tesla Logo Puddle Lights
Smart Ring (can be used to un/lock and start the car)
USB Hub for center console
USB C Male to USB A Female Adapter (for SSD in glovebox)
Wheel Center/Lug Covers (for when Aero wheel covers are removed)
Valve Stem Covers
Jack Pads to protect the battery when changing tires
Sunshade for glass roof

I also bought these from Tesla's website:
Roof Rack
Tire Repair Kit (out of stock) and Sealant

I'll also buy a set of winter tires and wheels (it snows here)

This is a URL you can enter on the Tesla to stream other TV channels to your Tesla's screen (while parked at SuperCharger).

And I'll probably get some HEPA filters for the A/C.

what floor mats did you get? i'm looking at amazon and some of them have like mixed reviews.
I almost went with the 3dmaxpiders lifjoy got and probably would have but I am a review freak and scoured amazon to find ones for the 2021 that had the best positive review ratio with at least 50 reviews and I ended up at these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08FJ4V2XH?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2_dt_b_product_details

They are currently out of stock though, I had them on a watch list and ordered when there were 5 left. I can't speak on the fit which is what I mostly am interested in but they seem to be decent quality... I dont have my car yet to try them out lol

edit: i think pricing was also a factor because the 3DMAXpider does look high quality https://www.amazon.com/3D-MAXpider-...631657753&s=automotive&sr=1-8#customerReviews

The OEM tesla mats Model 3 All-Weather Interior Liners just look like melted snow / water would run straight down them and onto the real material , not really sure how good they are

Took delivery today! The car looked great, but after driving away I noticed something not normal, so I turned around and went back to the SC. They had someone jump right on it, and I was back on the road in no time.

Overall a way better experience than I've had buying other cars. Just like everyone says, it was worth the wait. Now the wait to get an electrician to install the Wall Connector for faster charging!

Best of luck to everyone out there waiting! It's tough but it makes delivery day that much sweeter
