Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

[dgoodlan]

When Tesla quotes you a rate, they use the verbiage “premium rate”. This is the best offer for qualifying applicants. If your credit score is not ‘top of the line’ then the rate will go higher.

Right. I didn't bring credit score into play. Just meant that unlike most banks and credit unions, they don't give you a lower rate if you select a shorter term.

Yes

I just released my vin because it didn't have matrix headlights and hoping my next vin will have it. Has anyone gone through similar experiences? How long did it take to get a new vin?

How does one check for heated wipers ?

Gotta dig for gold.

How to tell if you have heated wipers on your Tesla Model 3/Y (if you don't have 2022.4.5 yet)

Tesla started turning on a brand new feature in some of their cars this week – heated wipers. Referred to internally as Heated Wiper Park or Windshield Wiper Defrost in the release notes, the new […]

WARNING ON PAYMENT!!! DO NOT PAY FOR YOUR CAR UNTIL IT'S BEEN DELIVERED.

I'm walking through a horror story right now... Received VIN and app instructed me to make payment on April 29th for a May 5th(ish) delivery. So I did that, and sure enough got confirmation that the car arrived in Kansas City on May 6th, without the charging port. Was told it would be a week, waited a week, then told it would be another week, waited another week, now today I'm told they're "hoping" for the part to come June 6th! Over a month after they took my $50,000. Worse part is the money was from a Credit Union now the credit union is knocking on my door demanding to know where the title is, when i don't even have the dang car! Lesson learned, never should have allowed the payment to be processed without actually having confirmation the car was actually ready for pickup. Their APP is INCREDIBLY deceiving telling me "Make payment now to avoid delivery delays" and then as soon as payments made "oh sorry your car's not actually whole, and we really have no idea when or if the parts are coming in"

Bummer. I agree with you on not paying until you accept delivery. Someone else posted here about this. You are not obligated to pay anything until you sign the paperwork in person.

I just released my vin because it didn't have matrix headlights and hoping my next vin will have it. Has anyone gone through similar experiences? How long did it take to get a new vin?

I think someone else just posted about this yesterday in this thread actually.

My EDD range got pushed out by 2 days. Didn't expect Tesla to be so specific about EDD that 2 days makes a difference in a 5-week range.

I stopped by my Tesla SC in Austin today, seemed like they had a good mix of 3 and Y's brand new, I'd count about 15 of them.

Is there any view on the charge port issue? I'm refraining from calling 3-4 times a day to see if there's updates (i was getting out of hand) but waiting in the dark for a "text" with no further updates is mildly frustrating. IDK how y'all do it.

First post but been following for last month.

VIN Assigned today and Delivery in Savannah GA scheduled 5/24.

OD 3/7/22, MSM, BLK, 18 in Aeros, No FSD. VIN 248,xxx

Original EDD was ‘May 2022’ when I placed order and varied from May 19 to June 30 with several variations (maybe 5 EDDs including a couple 2 week windows).

I’m ready for potential delays but happy to be on home stretch. Time to DIY my Tesla Charger…. 78 Days from order to pickup on a base model. I’m pleased overall.

Nice! Ordered the same day as you. Same config. Was initially to pickup in Savannah but switched to Atlanta. Sadly, I'm still waiting for a VIN. Delivery showing June 1 - June 15

My EDD range got pushed out by 2 days. Didn't expect Tesla to be so specific about EDD that 2 days makes a difference in a 5-week range.

I'm sure software is doing all these estimates. So it runs through a calculation and says that you should have a 5 week, 2 day, 6 hour, 3 minute, 2 second, and 151 millisecond window (5.32172975 weeks). Then it rounds to the nearest whatever, given the magnitude of the number.

So I’m theorizing here but didn’t we see a huge push out west in the third month of last quarter?

The other way. West coast was first, then east coast. All the deliveries here in the DC area were at the end of the quarter. As ever, this doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me because if they do west, east, east, west, then west is waiting a long time between major deliveries. It may be why T-J- is waiting so long. Some west coast deliveries are getting through, but it seems the great majority are east coast right now.

Nashville has a sht ton of cars with no charging port. Mine included. It’s apparently been at the store for 2 weeks. They have no idea when the parts are coming in.

 

[JimInAllen]

Picking up now. Michelins and Matrix!

 

[OreoLR3]

I won’t even be checking for heated wipers then. Is there a way to do it on new software?

 

[JimInAllen]

One little flaw… They took it back to service to fix before I accept delivery.

Your first software update a week or two after delivery should enable it, if you have it.

Before vs. After

Graduation Day. Home delivery. Everything looked great.

Nobody seems to know anything, the "manager" in KC is a clueless as everyone i've talked to. He has no visibility into the status of the parts, and it just keeps getting delayed. Was supposed to take delivery May 5th, now it's been pushed back to June 6th at the earliest, meanwhile my car is just sitting in a lot in KC waiting on this part.

I feel like Tesla just needs to scrap those VINs and assign new ones to the people waiting at this point and it would be faster. A month+ wait when the car is physically at the center already is ridiculous.

Once the parts finally come they can just sell those as inventory cars or use them as loaners or whatever.

 

[emky]

In the ‘things were going too smoothly’ category, my finance mgr called Friday and said I was ‘set’ and they just needed 2 days to have the cashiers check ready for pickup. Saturday I got a delivery date for Friday 20th. Monday I emailed: ‘please have check ready wednesday’. No response. I call, voicemail. I hope they’re not sick or something without a backup.

the wait is bad enough…..now this.

I told them they need to start looking for a new VIN for me. Made the argument there are literally multiple thousands of these cars coming off the assembly line every day, there must be dozens of my exact configuration, shouldn't take much work to grab one of those VIN's and assign to my account.
