Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

I just took delivery of my white, black interior, non-FSD in SoCal. While I was worried about quality issues being part of an obvious end of quarter push, the car was in great shape. Panel alignment is exactly right, no paint issues, and interior seems perfect. Only one minor issue with the weather seals around roof and trunk. A small gap near roof and several inches are missing around trunk glass. Scheduled a service appointment to address it. Overall, I really like the car.
 
Arrived for my 2pm appointment, a good once over showed no obvious issues, downloaded the acceleration boost, and was on the road by 2:20. ... what a great way to buy a car.

Brand new member (hello)
OD 9/13/21
originally I ordered because delivery said “December”..I get a bonus check on 11/30, to pay for the down payment (20%)..now my EDD is showing as “9/26-9/30”.
I saw someone else in this thread (maybe a few people) are in the same boat..am I SOL if it comes in “too soon”?

others have said you can tell them you are not ready and they will put your order on hold. Then you can tell them you are ready later and you will ”jump the queue” and get the car fairly quickly
 
Just got my VIN a little bit ago, updated EDD 9/24-9/27, I'm in LA so it's looking bright for us Socal people!
Hi all, received my M3 LR white/black no FSD today! Everything on the car is great except for a few minor scratches on the window trim on one of my doors on the outside. I'm located in LA.

OD 9/7
original EDD November, updated to EDD was Oct 12-Nov 1, then 9/26-9/30, then 9/24-9/27.

I scheduled to have it delivered to my house 9/27 but got a text on Friday that I could have it delivered today. Delivery window was 12-4, got a text at 12:04 that it was 30 minutes out. Got another text 30 mins later and went outside and it was parked out front! FYI was a contactless delivery so it was locked, had to accept delivery in my email then "add driver" to pair your phone to get in. Key cards were on the center console.

I think the missing weather stripping on one side of the trunk glass is to spec. They changed it when the added the powered strut. I remember seeing a post about it on here somewhere.
 
Ha ha! Mine sure will. Graphite iPhone 13 Pro and Midnight Silver Metallic Model 3.

Ironically, the phone will arrive before the car even though I ordered the phone just last week, and the Tesla M3 five weeks ago.

nice! my phone was suppose to be a release day delivery but came home to the "missed you" sticker on friday so it got pushed to saturday... i went out for an hour in the morning to do some stuff and came home to another "missed you" sticker... usually, UPS never comes before 1-2pm so i guess the UPS is trolling me so now i have to wait until monday...

Just called and spoke to someone, apparently, I am "soft matched" to a firm production car... sidenote this terminology is funny af.. nevertheless they said I should have the car by the 29th. This is kinda what I figured early on but they got my hopes up with the production date of yesterday.
