I’m being cheated. Fresh orders for M3 with FSD are going for April 22 and they are pushing me to June.

That's about two months of insurance cost in Toronto Canada.....I received my insurance quote from Erie Insurance Exchange at $640 annually. Pleasantly surprised!
I agree with you about the price locking for current orders. Price has jumped $4,000 since I ordered which is essentially giving me instant equity so I'm not mad there. My question is how long is the "price lock" gonna last. You see what rivian just tried to pull and I suspect that once Tesla hits a certain threshold they're gonna be forced to raise the prices on existing reservations as well. If the profit margin isn't there or if they're delivering at a loss definitely expect this to happen. Take the cybertruck, they've removed the prices from their site completely and I'll bet my last dollar it doesn't launch at $39k... it'll probably be over $70k.Ford and VW can clown around with ordering of what is, essentially, a side business to them. They have 30 models of ICE vehicles in production. By the time Ford and VW restart orders, they'll probably have a completely different BEV for sale. They're probably spending the "downtime" to redesign those offerings. Their business environment is dramatically different from Tesla's.
Remember that anyone who gets in line for a car today is locking a price in. I wouldn't expect prices to ever go down in this inflationary environment, so allowing orders today is a win for everyone. Tesla gets to know what its order stream looks like for the next 6 months and customers know that they'll eventually get the car they're after.
The wait may bother people, but there's nothing else to do. Tesla could shut off orders, but that wouldn't change the wait times for anyone who is already in line, and anyone who wants to get in line would be denied, while anyone who is considering buying farther down the line has no idea what will happen when Tesla opens the order stream again. I can only imagine the rush to get in line, plus the likely overload of the Tesla web site. It's just not a good idea.
All that said, Tesla could clearly improve their ordering and delivery process. For me, it has been the not knowing that is the worst of it. I think I'd have been far less stressed if I had simply not come to this forum because this is where the ugly stories are presented. My order has been going very smoothly - in hindsight. I didn't know what I was doing and Tesla doesn't really help me to understand the process, which is my biggest hit against them (and the reason I came here). Ultimately, they promised a March delivery for my early February order and it looks like they're going to do just that. Plus, my SA answered any questions that I had.
Your purchase price is locked in when you order and stays that price forever - assuming you don't change the features of the car such as color, wheels, interior, etc. Your trade-in valuation only lasts 30 days or so and if that expires then you'll have to get a new valuation.
I agree with a lot of what you wrote, especially with the M3 no longer being a car “affordable for the masses”, but my journey to Tesla was a little different. Maybe there are others like me who found themselves searching for a good EV and happened on Tesla. The crazy markups ($5k to $10k) on the EV6 and all other EVs on the lots and the low to no availability of EVs got me searching online and eventually added to the Tesla queue. I am also considering other EVs and would purchase a 2022 ID4 if I can get it at MSRP… but it isn’t a s3xy vehicle… I like the upfront pricing of Teslas, the tech, the ability to order and configure online, the charging network, the looks… the quality issues are a bit alarming but I’ll check thoroughly before accepting. There are definitely pros and cons that have to be weighed…Yea it's starting to get a little ridiculous. For a base rwd you're at $50k with any modifications to color etc...or over $60k with FSD. Over &70k for the performance. The model 3 is supposed to be their "affordable for the masses" vehicle. And please no one say they're doing it to control orders because they're overwhelmed. If they were smart they would just stop taking orders and catch up. Then once caught up just keep building them and get ahead then open ordering back up. There's plenty of places they can store them. Like at the huge Fremont factory, the over 2 million square foot giga texas or here's an idea, fully stock your service centers as well.
The one near me is huge and has room for a couple hundred cars easily. Just saying. There has to be a better way. This isn't White Castle where your food is made to order and even there I find myself waiting longer than if I had gone to McDonald's where the food is hot and ready to go. McDonald's is always packed and White Castle is usually a dead and it tastes better than McDonald's, at least to me. For all the cars they've sold I can't help but wonder how many they could have really sold if they didn't have insane wait times and prices that are, let's be honest with ourselves, too high for the average consumer... especially now. Let's be real here for a sec, you can get a similar performing car for a lot less and most likely better paint and build quality. A Civic type-r can be had for around $38k with a 0-60 of 5.2 seconds...that's faster than the base rwd model 3 and around the same size. The charger RT is around $40k as well. But because it's Elon and he has everyone hypnotized then it's acceptable...and don't get me wrong I love Tesla but they just need to get their ish together.
If a VIN has been assigned to you, that means the car is made.Well finally got my VIN today, after a long long wait!!!
205XXX
Not sure I have seen folks with 205s yet
I'm assuming since I have my VIN I shouldn't expect any more delays outside of delivery issues? Does this mean the car is made/being made?
My config is White/White 19" Sport Wheels, No FSD, located in PA.GOT MY VIN!!!!!
OD: 2/2 - EDD March
EDD1: March 14 - March 31
EDD2: April 20 - May 18

Super excited
I ordered three on March 7 and got them in NC on March 14.How long does it usually take for the wall charger to deliver? Just ordered mine.
I agree, definitely pros and cons to weigh but I'm just stating facts here without being biased and everyone seems to be bashing me for it. Those that think Tesla can do no wrong and are willing to accept whatever they say. This will be my first Tesla but you only have one time to make a great impression and so far it's not looking so good. Speaking of the ID.4 I've ordered one and the dealer doesn't have a markup. Not sure where you're located but ask around. If it gets here before the Tesla (which it just might) I'm going with it. And as far as the tech I don't really see what the Tesla does that is so special. The full self driving is not realized yet and the videos I see on YouTube, it crashes into bollards, misjudges turns and everything. I wouldn't trust it. As far as everything else besides summon mode (which has its hiccups as well) other cars have been doing for free. My old Buick could park itself and it wasn't bundled in a $12k package. My current ice car can drive itself on the highway and switch lanes...has adaptive cruise...the whole 9. I'm sure I'll get downvoted but I don't care, just being real. The acceleration is nice but there are other vehicles with similar performance for less money. I'm not even sure if I'll like electric as I stated earlier, just trying it out to see what all the fuss is about. I drove from Ohio to Florida frequently and sometimes to New York from Ohio and am used to just stopping at the gas station for 5 minutes and being back on the road. Having to reroute to be able to hit superchargers and sitting for 30 or 40 minutes...idk... we'll see.I agree with a lot of what you wrote, especially with the M3 no longer being a car “affordable for the masses”, but my journey to Tesla was a little different.

You're high jacking this thread with off topic rambling.I agree, definitely pros and cons to weigh but I'm just stating facts here without being biased and everyone seems to be bashing me for it.
I’m so jelly!!! I ordered 10 days after you. LOL still a ways out. Post pics when you pick up!! Congrats my guyMy config is White/White 19" Sport Wheels, No FSD, located in PA.
Just scheduled delivery for March 22. This all happened faster than expected but the initial EDD was correct after all.
One week! I got mine last Monday, ordered it the Tuesday beforeHow long does it usually take for the wall charger to deliver? Just ordered mine.
Congrats! Welcome to the waiting clubOrdered today (yeah I know...).
I'd like to know what new car out there could beat 0-60 in 4.2 secs that's less than the M3LR. One that's a close competitor is the Mercedez C43 AMG, but that's quite a bit more than the M3LR (starts at $60k) and does 0-60 in 4.5 secs. For that much I would just go with the performance model which competes with cars like the Audi R8 (which costs twice as much).I agree, definitely pros and cons to weigh but I'm just stating facts here without being biased and everyone seems to be bashing me for it.
