First updated EDD since OD, so fingers crossed we stay moving forward
Just got my Model 3 delivered. Upgraded from the 2019 to the 2022. I have to say it's such a substantial upgrade in almost every respect it blows my mind. The doors feel more solid (no more thin light doors), the upgraded Ryzen slaps my old atom cpu, the car's suspension is more cushioned, no rattles, no road noise, and the fit and finish are leagues above their prior effort. Overall just an outstanding showing by Tesla.

When I got my VIN my SA emailed me first and asked if I was paying in full or financing/leasing.
I replied within 30 minutes and an hour later I got a reply saying my account was changed - I was able to submit trade-in photos, and apply for financing and was able to customize the amount and term.
99% of my communication during order and delivery with Tesla was via email.
So get your popcorn because the entertainment continues.
I texted my SA this morning as promised to get the vehicle location and confirm the 3/8 EDD after the previous we put it in a warehouse instead of on a train debacle.
SA texts back that my car will make it to the delivery center sometime in the next 72 hours and they’ll call and set up a new delivery pickup then.
I start celebrating as I hadn’t thought they’d manage to get it moving here from CA so quick.
Then I get a call from the delivery center and thank goodness the Springfield, NJ folks are on the ball. “We looked at your account and see someone messaged you that your car will be here in 72 hours” they say. “Unfortunately that’s just not true. Your car is still in CA.”
I think my jaw hit the floor. I mean I really shouldn’t be surprised at this point but hey, some things you just don’t think would happen to you twice in a row.
They then tell me that the car is being scheduled to be hauled by truck across the country but have no idea when or how it’ll actually get here because it’s not how Tesla normally moves cars cross-country. Luckily they’ve been looking for cars for me locally since the snafu last Friday and have located one that they can get here and I can pick up on 3/3.
New VIN is 178*** and has AMD and has not been rejected. Having read around this forum I ask how is one available and they tell me that it’s one meant for a buyer on the East Coast who did not pick a delivery date and not responded to any text or phone calls so the car was sitting. Weird that such a person exists (I’ve more of the refresh the Tesla app every 20 minutes sort) but at least my conscience feels relieved.
TL;DR, Tesla strikes again but thanks to the fine folks at Springfield I’m getting a car this week anyway.
Hope everyone’s having better luck than me!

Yes. I got quoted $800 in CA a couple years back when it was just on the other side of the breaker box. As soon as you say Tesla they start $$$$
I’ve gotten some $450-$500 which I still think is kinda high because of where my panel is located but majority is higher around $650. I’m located in AZ
Its the cost of doing business. I'd get it done...only going to get more expensive like everything else. Call it your "Get our of Jail (gas station) card".
Because Giga Shanghai was building 3’s without it for a while. When they started including it again, some people misunderstood a news article, shared it here, and the confusion just keeps popping up, even though it was never a thing about the cars made at Fremont.
That’s why I didn’t get a Wall charger. I ordered a Chargepoint from my utility, and they put a $200 instant rebate on it. Now, when the electrician installs it Thursday, he won’t be able to make any assumptions about what car it’s for.
I just looked at the spreadsheet and was pretty disappointed when I saw 2 ordered with the same configuration as mine already have a VIN and they ordered a few weeks after me
I just hope that means I’ll get lucky with the AMD chip and maybe they won’t lol jkjkYeah, I got quoted $1,500. It’s literally like $150 in parts and a 2-3 hour one-person job. My panel is less than 10 feet away and has a free spot to put the 50amp breaker. Nothing complicated, just don’t trust myself doing my own electrical work. My commute is only 40 miles round trip and I have a free level 2 charger at work and at my gym that no one ever uses at the times I’m there so just gonna use that and the regular plug at home. $1,500 is outrageous.
The day has come! Vin assigned! VIN 1935. Will that have updated chip/battery?

Got the trade in text, call, and email today. I got a few other offers on my car but we shall see what Tesla offers me. They did confirm that by doing a trade in it will not delay the VIN

I didn't get a wall charger b/c when I asked my SA said..."you don't need it...it will charge a little faster but if your charging over night what do you care if your sleeping anyway" and then I said no other benefits?...he said "if you leave your garage open it might look cool to your neighbors". LOL
True story...love that they are not on commission.

I got it since I had to install a new service line and breaker box just outside of my garage. I figured I'd take the the 60amps if I had to get a new service line installed.
There is also a 30% tax credit associated with the wall connector.
Otherwise. I'm with you. If I could have used my existing breaker box I'd have just done a 240v on a 30 amp.

What payment method did you select? Do you have a trade-in?
