Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

[mystryman007]

Eeeek!

The SA just called me and wanted to know if I would be down for a White on White performance edition. I was so tempted, but I stayed strong. They did mention that they got a few in, and there are a couple that are exact matches for me, but waiting on assigned owners who are saying they need to delay for a few weeks.

Getting my hopes up

 

[MADevarenne]

Ordered Model 3 Long Range (Black w/ Black interior / 18" aero wheels) no FSD on March 13
Original EDD was May 12- June 16.
April 3 it was June 5 - July 17.
April 10/ current it's June 1- July 6

Not even sweating it anymore. I've ordered and received every accessory I think I'd like to have. Set an appointment for July 15 to have the windows tinted (obviously this may have to be rescheduled). Just posting my EDD changes for reference in the event others find it useful. Came to the conclusion there's no good indicators of how long I'll be waiting to receive the car. Do I want it yesterday? Yes. Do I expect delivery in the most recently provided window? No. Can I wait until it gets here? Not many options.

Sold my truck and borrowing a car from a family member in the meantime, so on the bright side, no bank note for a couple/ few months. Oh.... and no insurance costs either. That alone will pay for most of the accessories and window tinting. Next to consider is whether to order the Paint protection film... never had it on any other vehicle, but also never had anything brand new before. Leaning toward doing it because I live on a long gravel road. Any recommendations?

Do it! You know you want to..... come on... call them back! (I'm a bad influence)

Oh I so wanted to. I wanted to do what my friend and I call "Pulling a Jeff" which is basically, when the dealership or electronics store doesnt have the model you were looking for, but has the next model up, so you take it.

Granted I have never been disappointed in that, but I gotta stay strong this time. If he had said Black interior. I would be on my way to the dealership right now

I sold my car about three weeks ago and I'm driving a family member's car while they are down from knee surgery. I'm not sure what will happen if the M3 doesn't arrive by the end of May. I like the savings on the payment and insurance but my carrier put me on liability only so I'm still very careful with my driving and if I need a rental I'll have to take additional insurance or rely on my credit card company which covers the additional amount needed.

I went with DCU for the 1.74% rate, process was super seamless, already have the check in hand less than 24 hours after applying.

So does DCU just give you a cashiers check for the full amount of the loan? If so, your order just stays on the cash option rather than finance, correct? Do you just hand Tesla 2 checks on delivery day, 1 from DCU for the loan amount, and another from you for your down payment, or do you give your down payment to DCU and they write a check for the full amount?

Congratulations! Finally the wait is almost over. Its nice to see you finally get your vehicle and VIN. Gives the rest of us here hope that the same will come for us soon (even with all the EDD changes). Enjoy your ride!!!

Does that include the breaker and wiring? They told me $400 but I think it may be a little more since my breaker box is in a closet that is in the garage and they'll need to do a little more work.

Yes it includes the breaker. Fortunately the breakers are on the other side of the garage wall.

Do you just hand Tesla 2 checks on delivery day, 1 from DCU for the loan amount, and another from you for your down payment, or do you give your down payment to DCU and they write a check for the full amount?

For the order, there are 3 options: cash, finance with tesla partner, and finance with 3rd party. When I first ordered, I left it as cash. Then once I got the VIN, someone from Tesla switched it back to Finance for me. From there, I chose finance with 3rd party, and entered in DCU. DCU mailed the check to my house, so I just have to hand it over to Tesla when I pick up the car.

For the remaining balance, I used Plaid to ACH the rest.

i get the 12k FSD for free

Nice!

 

[mystryman007]

Do it! You know you want to..... come on... call them back! (I'm a bad influence)

Wow, I just got my Vin!!!!!!

woo hoo!!

Wow, I just got my Vin!!!!!!

woo hoo!!

Wow that’s wild, congrats! I wonder if they’re giving you one of the cars that was an exact match to you, that the SA said they were waiting on some other people for.

I have to imagine that these VIN's are ones that others had on hold or had to pass on for one reason or another.

Uggh. I would do that for the $8k today. I’m so tempted even almost 2 months in to this to switch to a Performance to get some movement on my dates. Still no movement…

Have you ever gotten into a long line and finally made it to the front and now you see there is no line behind you, and you are mad about that. Me neither just asking for another guy. Will this line ever end?

 

[JB47394]

Wow really good! Out here in VA, I got several quotes for a 40ft Copper Run, and outlet install ( 800.00 - as much as 3k ) You can take a guess which one I went with...

Yeah, contractors in the DC area vary between "reasonable" and "ruthlessly greedy". I had a breaker, 60ft run, some interior conduit and a 14-50 outlet installed for nearly $1400. Snaking the run took several hours, which is why I hired a guy. Well, that, and wanting to make sure it was to code. Note that perhaps half of that was material cost. A 75ft spool of #6 wire at Home Depot is $530. Just nuts.

No rebates or discounts here for a charge port.

At least I installed the cable hatch in my garage door myself. And I even got a chance to make use of my hoard of random fasteners that every guy accumulates.

 

[Prime1000]

Wow, I just got my Vin!!!!!!

woo hoo!!

Wow! That's awesome!! So you went from showing a May-June EDD to VIN

 

[wblwrites]

I called the Tesla 800# and spoke to a nice rep, but not very much new information. He said they could not see any additional information on the EDD, he could just see what I saw (May 4- June 1). I explained that we're a bit desperate because we're a 1-car family now since my teenaged son totaled my car 2 months ago (thus the model 3 order). He looked around the existing inventory and found a model 3 in Texas, but the $2,000 transport price tag is too steep.
