Final Thoughts: After waiting for delivery and going through the accessory return process, I am overwhelmingly satisfied with my decision to purchase the Polestar 2 over the Tesla Model 3. The Polestar 2 is such a well put together, complete and and balanced performance vehicle. Good luck all and more to come in the Model 3 vs Polestar 2 comparison forum.
P.S. Anyone in the San Antonio/Austin region interested in OEM mud flaps, wheel locks, console storage bins and the charger mount, I know guy that will hook you up. IM me and we’ll sort out pickup/delivery. So far Tesla has returned everything else (been touch and go).
Im suprised you canceled this order. You could have waited for the car to arrive, drive it straight to carmax and get more than you paid. An easy 1-2k profit for doing nothing else other than waiting for it to finally showup.
They most assuredly DID lie to me, in person, on the telephone, a week ago Saturday. I've been following Tesla since they first announced the M3, so I know a little bit about it. And if my ranting about being lied to in an online forum is something that you've never seen before, then you need to get out more.
Lying is purposefully deceiving someone. I highly doubt they did this on purpose. I bet that these employee's had the same information you did that showed an estimated delivery date and they simply repeated what they assumed to be true. Tesla cant control outside issues suchas, delivery drivers, trucks breaking down, truckers protesting, your delivery driver getting covid, or most of the factory workers catching the new strand of covid and getting 14 days off ect... there are so many other factors that come in to play when it comes to delivery and your rigid thinking will only hurt your ego in the long run. You have to critically think about things before letting your emotions take over. I work at the hospital and I can tell you straight up that dealing with something as simple as waiting for a car to show is incognizant to the stuff i see every day. Stop worrying about the small things because one of these days you will find yourself on the opposite end of another rigid thinker blaming your for lying to them.
I truly hope you get your car asap, but if your in such a big hurry why not setup a script that auto page refreshes tesla's page. I have done this and I have had the oppertunity to buy a model 3 at least once every 24 hours if i notice the page change while near the computer. I placed an order and will wait till may for delivery, but i keep the auto refresh on ecnase my color pops up. So far ive seen white, black, red, and grey. No blues in my area pop up so ill just keep waiting.
I ordered, purchased and now own a Polestar 2. Prior to this decision, I ordered a Tesla Model 3 with the intention of purchasing it to replace a BMW i3.
I will be reporting on my experience with the two very different processes and differences between the two vehicles. As well as why I was giving Tesla another shot after my Model S experience.
For reference, I also own a 2021 Audi e-tron and have owned a BMW i3, Honda Clarity PHEV, Tesla Model S and Nissan Leaf.
I hope this helps.
Congrats. The only photo i seen is from what bmwm3man just posted so please post up some photos of your car. Im all for competition so being able to see the outside and inside would be nice.
I could have typed that myself...Range, SuperCharging and over the air updates and not having to "Bring your car to your nearest service point and we’ll take care of the whole update process for you"...ugh and 20k more miles on LR for the battery warranty.
Also to each his/her own but gotta like the looks too... Not sure what this reminds me of but...its not for me.

When i see the rear, it looks like the rear of a 1989 totota celica which is a very old design so thats probably why people dont like it. I also dislike the new bmw (M3) buck toothed bumper and since i already sold my 2015 m3 a year ago i decided that since the new m3 was ugly to me i didnt know what to do other than rebuy a used m3 at a much higher cost or buy a different M3. I choose the telsa this time around. The Tesla not only has its looks, but it has so many features that make it worth it alone. Plus the car gets over the air updates with big feature changes that no other manufacture will ever do without charging you.
