Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

[Doggerton]

Things I wish I knew about ordering my 1st Tesla that I have learned in the past two-ish months.... 1. EDD's are absolutely unreliable. 2. Those you see getting their VIN/delivery within the first month of OD are absolutely the exception, not at all the rule - don't get your hopes up. 3. Your EDD can and will change multiple times, being moved up, back, shorter window, longer window, etc. 4. People who ordered after you WILL get VINs/delivery ahead of you because they had a configuration or location different from yours. 5. If you plan to get your VIN about 3 months after OD, you likely won't be disappointed by all the EDD changes, and will be happy if it happens to come earlier.

What have you learned that you wished you'd known at the start of this journey?

Anyone else have an estimated delivery of “TBD”?

Oftentimes you will see that for a day or two after ordering. Did you order in the last couple of days?

Quick update, support chat confirmed that this M3 LR has Ryzen, new 12v battery, and heated wiper park. Unable to confirm double pane back glass, mentioned system does not specify this. Will try to confirm through customer support number (they haven’t picked up for some reason) then again through SA.

The new 12v is the lithium in the LR models now? Is that the one that you can charge to 100%

 

[Paul4343]

I think at this point there's probably no need to confirm the new chip / battery if your last six of the vin is starting above 161xxx.

No harm in confirming! Especially for 161xxx & 162xxx

The new 12v is the lithium in the LR models now? Is that the one that you can charge to 100%

No, the 100% daily charge is referring to the SR model 3s with the LFP battery pack.

The new 12v is the lithium in the LR models now? Is that the one that you can charge to 100%

No. This unrelated to the main battery packet...

Just passed the first day of my old EDD window yesterday and this morning it updated from 2 weeks to 10 days. New EDD 1/30 - 2/8

M3LR Blue/Black 18" no FSD

Day 49. Electricians are here. They appreciate having lots of room to work in the garage since it's cold outside and there's no pesky car in the way. When the wall connector is in, car shouldn't be far behind..
Right?

The new 12v is the lithium in the LR models now? Is that the one that you can charge to 100%

Those two things have zero to do with each other.

The "12V lithium" battery has nothing (zip / nada) to do with the high voltage battery, as far as "how I charge the vehicle for daily use" goes. You are mixing up the LFP battery that is only in the standard range / RWD tesla model 3 with the 12V battery that is used to power electronics.

Here is my sequence of events; M3 LR MS/BLK 19"

10/21 - OD w/EDD of 12/1 – 12/31

11/30 - EDD 12/10 – 12/24

12/19 - EDD 12/21: Fully paid

12/20 – damaged windshield is found during final inspection of VIN135xxx

12/21 – received phone call EDD 12/22

12/22 – received phone call EDD 12/23

12/23 – received phone call EDD 12/27

12/27 – EDD 12/30 from Tesla app

12/28 – received phone call that said VIN will be ready 12/29. Can’t accept delivery due to previously planned trip. They refuse to hold it until 1/2. SA informed me that they should have something on 1/6 but no guarantee. They release VIN 135xxx. Fine, take your repaired Tesla and give it to someone else.

1/02 – EDD 03/01 – 03/30

1/09 – called order support “phone bank.” Operator informed me that there are two dates; one that he can see and one that everyone else can see (Tesla app). He said that SA’s don’t even have the information he sees. He gave me an EDD of 1/15.

1/11 – EDD 1/12 – 1/19

1/13 – EDD 1/16 – 2/14

1/17 – EDD 1/19 – 2/14

1/20 – EDD 1/23 – 2/06

1/24 – EDD 1/25 – 2/06

1/26 – EDD 1/27 – 2/06

1/26 – Received second VIN 164xxx

1/27 – Scheduled pick-up 1/29. Delivery option not available.

1/28 – Fingers Crossed

Along the way, encountered some employees genuinely interested in helping and some who don't really care.

Update:
Scheduled for pick up on 1/29!
Can’t wait, I guess I was one of the lucky ones

Holy crap! That is SUCH a fast turnaround! Congrats!! Seems like the white seats theory is confirming itself

 

[In_the_process]

Good news! Woke up to vision agreement and after signing off for a VIN of 167xxx! Hoping everyone else in SoCal wakes up to their VINs! will check in morning for RYZEN

What's your config?

 

[DVM3P]

So got the window sticker emailed for my M3LR, MSM, black interior, Aero, no FSD, Vin 162lowlastthree and it says microprocessor controlled lithium ion battery. SA said it has AMD but will confirm at pickup in like 10 days.

Who did you contact to get the window sticker emailed? Is you car already at the delivery location?

 

[itsallaboutme]

They rescheduled my delivery to February 1st because of the storm. I am waiting for a call back to see if I can pick up today. Any one in NJ rescheduled for today or accepted their new date?

 

[TeamGrimes]

I have my first two-week EDD window after only having had month-long ones since my initial order. Having been on this forum for a while, I know not to read too much into that, but hopefully it's a good sign!

MSM/Black, 18" wheels, no FSD, Seattle area
OD: 11/18; original delivery estimate on the website was Jan. 2022

EDD journey:
Pre-12/10 (before I thought to start tracking dates): 1/8-2/8
12/16: 2/11-3/11
1/14: 1/14-2/11
1/27: 1/31-2/28
1/28: 2/5-2/19

EDD was 11/17 got vin today, picking up Sunday in Bay Area

 

[Doggerton]

Glad to see some of the mid and late Nov orders taking delivery! Here's hoping early December is not too far behind you

 

[nekrosstratia]

I have a 9 day window of Feb 10-19th as of 2 days ago and no vin yet.... Hoping today i get a vin. I "only" check the app for a vin every hour. LOL

That's 10 days

Glad to see some of the mid and late Nov orders taking delivery! Here's hoping early December is not too far behind you

Here's to hoping that my October order with no holds comes sometimes in the next 3 months

 

[itsallaboutme]

Just rescheduled for Monday 1pm. I was looking forward for this weekend but this upcoming storm messed things up.

 

[jjrandorin]

One other thing I will say related to "deliveries" in relation to what I said in my last couple posts in this thread (which, based on how fast it moves, may be a few pages ago now, lmao).

At some point last quarter, which was 4th quarter 2021, there were reports that Elon told the organization that they would be making an attempt to smooth out deliveries, instead of the current process of cramming "as much as possible" into end of quarter deliveries.

I have no idea where tesla is in that process. I am not a tesla insider or anything. My knowledge around this comes from what I have observed myself since 2018, either experienced myself, or seeing reports here or elsewhere regarding how tesla delivers vehicles.

For sure! You're past due! Fingers crossed for a VIN for you asap!
