Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

[eesh]

I ordered 3/4 and my EDD has not changed from 5/24-6/21. I'd love to see some kind of movement... hasn't nudged a day

Same. Ordered 3/4 with 5/11 - 6/8 as my EDD and it hasn't updated even once since putting in my order. Don't have a VIN either.

I ll check state farm out. Right now the cheapest I have seen for me is Progressive with a whopping 373$ / month

Find an insurance broker. They will shop for you and beat all of the big national chains by more than $100 a month in most cases. I’ve done it for almost 30 years and never had issue with these smaller insurance companies.

I'm pretty new to vehicles and insurance. What are some must-have coverages to look for when shopping for insurance?

Just received my vin!
Order Date 2/25
MSM-Black-19's-No FSD
Austin TX

Congrats! I am pretty jealous that my OD was 2/12, and you have my exact configuration…my location is just low priority. Maybe by the time I finally get a VIN, Tesla will have a miraculous solution for all these parts shortages. One can dream.

Interesting ... I've never thought of insurance brokers. Is there any specific broker that you would recommend?

After watching all these posts and seeing your ED dates and my ED dates move around, I only check my EDD weekly. Today my dates narrowed from the typical 4 week spread to 5/10-5/23 so I figured it was worth a post.

White/White/18" No FSD.
Denver area delivery,

Order Date 2/18/22

$500 in maintenance every 2 years is nothing compared to having to do oil changes every 3k miles and all the other typical maintenance for an ICE car. Especially when you compare what it costs for maintenance on something like a Lexus or BWM that's in the same price range. My Lexus takes synthentic oil and it's at least $100 for every oil change. A routine maintenance trip was probably $300-$500 twice a year.

Go to a chinese mechanic

Does anyone know if DCU is a 30 day or 60 day rate lock?

Brokers are typical local and specific by state. In AZ I use Hayden and Hayden but every market will have their own. They will do your car and home/renter insurance and be able to walk you through the typicals for coverage.

When I was young I had a higher deductible to keep my monthly price down. As I became more uhhh “experienced” I was able to lower the deductible and still keep the price the same or trending down. Brokers make commission but typically it comes from the insurance company not you. The other great thing is they will shop you every six months or annually, so they always do the work to keep you at the best price. To me it’s been worth it and I’ve never seen diminished quality.

I’m not an expert though. This has just been my experience.

Ha, looks like we are OD and EDD buddies, mine are perfectly identical, and we are about as far apart as two locations can be in the US. Does your car happen to be white exterior black interior 18inch wheels no FSD?

Mine is on white exterior with 18” wheel and no FSD.

Wow have you had 20 accidents?! That is insane

Insurance premium really varies. The other poster may live in a high-risk area and want a low deductible policy with broad coverage.

nope. only held a US drivers license for less than 6 months. Have been driving in other countries for much longer.

Same boat. Considering using Metromile and not driving much for the first 6 months until I have some driving history and then switching to a different insurance provider if the rates are better.

That is such BS from Tesla ! it really should be first come first served but they do it randomly . I also have OD of 2/12 and see others with later OD getting their car. Happy for all of you but ….you know.

It's probably because they try to break their delivery records every quarter and so they must be focusing on high demand areas first
