Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

[gagirl65]

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’m in GA and markups on existing vehicles is crazy here in metro Atlanta. I’m in the same boat as you-I ordered the 2022 ID4 Pro S AWD. If it arrives before the Tesla I’ll go with it…unless the dealers choose to price it above MSRP.

I'm happy to report that I took delivery today without incident! My wait time was only 36 days from order to delivery. I am still a bit stunned. It's hard to believe that the car in this photo is MINE and not some other LR MSM that I've passed on the street...

A few parts of the pickup experience that stuck out to me:

1.) I arrived right on time, but I ended up waiting 25-30 minutes while they got the vehicle ready.
2.) There was a small scratch on the right passenger door. The associates I worked with tried to remove them with some Meguiar's DA Microfiber Correction Compound, but one small scratch (1 inch, on the clear coat) still remains. I'm not displeased enough to pursue it any further.
3.) I used this checklist, partially at the dealer, and partially at home. I'm nearly all the way through it and everything is looking good! Tesla gives 1 day or 100 miles to report any defects.
4.) Driving the car home, it seemed like the close-object-warning sensors were still "calibrating." Anyone have any idea how long this takes?
5.) No significant panel gaps.

Wishing everyone here early and speedy deliveries!

Congrats! It’s a beauty.

In case anyone is curious I just called Cherry Hill, PA about their demo vehicle with 50 miles. It’s a January VIN and does not have ryzen or heated wipers, so it’s unlikely that any of the other demo vehicles for sale do either.

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).

This. No other EV comes close to same price for similar acceleration and ranged combined. And then for an extra 2K you can bring down to 3.7. I have yet to encounter any ICE or EV that has beaten me off a stop. Many also try to pass on highway due to my safe driving, only to look foolish...Am I a jerk, prolly. The car was worth the wait. I regret a lot of stuff. This is one thing I have not. Plus saved 150 in fuel this month per first electric statement and miles driven.

It looks like my service appointment for discrepancies identified during delivery just became an overnight thing.

When I was at the service center, the SA stated, and the app showed 5pm today for pickup, after I left, it updated as tomorrow, 11am.

For those of you out there that have received assigned VINs, do you get notified via text, or do you have to keep checking the app?

Finally decided to decline trading in my bmw x3 -- will sell to local dealer potentially.

Have yet to get updated info from tesla about next steps yet. Though declined trade in about an hour ago or so.

I never received a notification. I noticed it in the app.

When I was comparing cars in a ealier post I was speaking about how the base rwd price is $50k now with options and over $60k with fsd and how the type r is faster for much less and so is the charger rt. The lr is not what I was speaking about.

Please take this conversation elsewhere; this thread is not for discussing the merits of various makes and models of cars.

Well good luck. If Georgia is anything like Florida then those dealers are greedy lunatics. Hey on the plus side, at least you get your deposit back with VW if it doesn't pan out.

Sir yes sir!

I was texted about finalizing my trade in offer. That is how I discovered that I had a vin assigned.

That’s a heck of a way to discover your VIN!

OD: 2/10
EDD: 4/19=5/17
Config: White/White/18"/No FSD

No EDD updates since OD.

Anyone in the Bay Area looking for an immediate delivery - there are 12 "new" existing inventory units available. Unfortunately they are coming with the most recent price increase.

That’s a heck of a way to discover your VIN!

LOL
