Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

[MikenDallas]

Ugh- don’t know what to do. I want to order now but I need January delivery for the tax credit

 

[mordeeb]

Nice- what’s specs?

M3 LR everything else unchanged so base. White, black interior. no FSD

 

[bro1999]

I put in an order for a LR (white on white, $51k price). Basically the same build as my current SR+ except it's LR. This is a hedge to see if I can upgrade cheaply (or even 0 out of pocket or even some back in my pocket) from my SR+ to a LR if the tax credit gets passed.
Worst case is I'm out $250, best case is I can swap my SR+ for a LR for minimal upgrade fee. FWIW, my SR+ with 7k miles is fetching offers for $45k+ currently from the online dealers.
Estimated delivery was December, but I plan to delay till next year.

Yeah I'm reading here that it would be retroactive until Jan 1 2021. Idk if it's a typo though. EV tax credits: Biden's finalized agenda includes $5,000 increase

No, the text in the current bill states after Dec 31 2021 for the main credit. There is an additional clause for one of the additional credits that starts begginng of 2023, but forget which.

Prob good idea to order it mid November or early December

 

[ElectricSOB]

Just thought I would keep people updated on my EDD and other info.

Here’s an email from my SA I received this morning:

‘Good morning,

Looking at your order and delivery, as of today we are on track for a Mid-November delivery timeline. Production of the car should be done in a week or so according this estimate.

I would be on the lookout for a VIN assignment by the end of the week this week ( meaning production is complete). As well if the Production of the car is done sooner, we will let you know but as of now we are looking good for a that timeline as of today. Please let me know if you have any questions’

Did you get your VIN yet?

 

[Geiger235]

I have been lurking for a little while now but figured i would join the posting party.

Order date 9/24
M3 LR Blue/Black/Aero/No FSD
EDD has never changed from 11/2-11/22
I'm in Maryland in the DC suburbs

 

[UserNo42]

Wow that’s crazy did u try to call Tesla? That’s a big of push

No need looks like it was a weird one off. Dates back to 2021 today 11/7 - 12/5. Maybe some one noticed and bumped it? only the EDD fairy knows.

Order date 9/25
M3 LR White/Black/Aero/No FSD

 

[Glendale MY]

Yeah I have in writing from my SA that I can defer delivery for 90 days with no impact to my order. He said if we wanted another extension past that is when we’d run into cancellation territory. But as with all things Tesla I think every SA is going to tell you something different haha.

I've had my order in since early May 2021....and I immediately delayed to 10/1 and now I further delayed until 1/1/22 (all tax credit related)....just depends on your SA.

 

[left_ambassado]

Did you get your VIN yet?

unfortunately not...

 

[RapidRick]

After years of waiting I finally ordered my LR White/White/No FSD last night. I absolutely want the tax credit, but I'm also trying to stay ahead of a possible price increase. My SA tells me I can delay the order and I will go "back in the queue"

I have two questions...

First, what exactly does " back in the queue" mean? Does this mean that I start over from the beginning or I get to receive the next batch of cars that arrive at my service center? (Nashville, I live in Bowling Green, KY)

Second question. How long after I have placed my order do I get an EDD?

TIA

So this is what my SA sent over my way when I asked for specifics about deferring:

Once we attempt to deliver a car to you if you decline that’s when the 90 days would start. If you needed to decline again at that point we would have to work with the delivery team to see if we could push it out further. It is at this point that the order is liable to be cancelled.

 

[highstrunghero]

How does one delay an order if you have one of those SA's that has never responded to one of your emails? Can you wait till they actually assign you a delivery window?

 

[bdawg_32]

I just had my delivery date for a M3 LR AWD pushed back from Nov 1 to Nov 5. The SC said this was due to an air bag issue... Is this common?

 

[nikkibikke]

For anyone wanting to defer until the tax credit (assuming it passes): I was able to put my order on hold until January by just calling my local Tesla store, it was very easy. It immediately showed up on my account and there’s a button to say I’m now ready. I had not gotten a VIN yet and my delivery window was Nov 2-28 I think (ordered 10/3).

I suck at phone calls though so I forgot to ask about what happens if the price goes up in the meantime…

 

[BnGrm]

The timing of this is just great (sarcasm) for me. My EDD begins 11/3. It's hard to not take the free money but the final bill will likely deviate from what we've seen. Desperately need a new car but could wait. I suppose prudence would require me to wait until there is more clarity on the final bill. I was so close to getting mine! argh.

On the plus side, given the current cost cap on sedans, I don't think Tesla will be raising the price of the LR anytime soon (going forward).

Anyone out there not waiting?

 

[Mandarin]

Just got pushed back again. It's funny that no one has ever contacted me about this order. I was in the local mall yesterday and went to the Tesla showroom and asked when I'll get the car? And I was told 2nd week of December and EDD has changed today

Looks like my EED window is narrowing, which is a good sign.

Now EED is 12/11-12/31

ordered on 9/3
M3LR black/white/19"

9/5: 11/8 - 12/8
9/20: 12/6 - 1/5
10/27: 11/20-12/18
10/29: 12/11-12/31

 

[MrVivekB]

Same as many. Black/Black/18" ordered on 9/3, EDD was 10/29-11/28, just got pushed back to 11/23->12/21

And today it's 11/8->12/6.

What will tomorrow bring, spin the wheel, nobody knows

Good thing I don't care (yet). By Jan 20th i'm screwed without it, but it'll happen before then.

So far...

Order Date: 10/5/2021​

Model 3 LR/Pearl White/Dark Interior/19" Sport Wheels​

Current EDD: 11/8 to 12/6​

Our SA (Ben from Mesa dealership - Very highly recommended!) just informed us that we are on track for a mid-November delivery. I was seriously considering holding off until Jan 2022; but he reminded me that vehicle registration fees here in AZ will increase substantially after December 2021, on the order of a few thousand dollars over the next 5 years, instead of less than $200 if we purchase this year. That, plus the favorable trade-in value we seem to have right now for our current car, seems to be enough to just take delivery ASAP and enjoy the car sooner!

Moving forward now... from counting down the weeks, to counting down the days.....

 

[The Rambler]

Thought this was interesting,

Previously on my order it was displaying,

"We will reach out to you to schedule your delivery date. Delivery time frame is based on order date, profile submission, delivery location and vehicle configuration."

Message below EDD now,

"Delivery timing will update based on configuration availability. We will reach out to schedule your delivery when your VIN is assigned."

This makes me think that certain parts (Aero wheels and paint) are limiting deliveries.
