Da

Dang, thats a better EDD than mine ordered Mid March!

Sad to leave this group as I graduated last week. I've taken delivery of a beautiful MSM model 3 with aero wheels. Unfortunately on day 3 of ownership, I had a pebble fly into my windshield on the NJ Turnpike and created a bullseye chip the size of a dime on the upper right corner. First tragedy with the model 3, but there's nothing I could have done about it.

Overall, I'm satisfied with the car. One pedal driving is such a game changer. Driving a regular gas car and using the brakes just seems like too much work now lol.

OH NO! That's my worry with my work commute on AC Exp 70 miles a day. Lots of glass on the Tesla.Congrats Justin on your M3!!

I really shouldn't be this excited but I can't help it. It's really happening!

Still waiting on a vin here! Starting to lose hope....

I got the exact same text this morning. Our cars are probably sitting on the same train heading east!

So you got your delivery text already? I got my VIN last week but not the delivery text yet. Trying to set up insurance now.

JB, Thanks for posting the videos. I wasn't sure what the difference was with the Matrix lights. Sure do hope their on my M3!! It'll def help driving on these dark roads around here.

Need to start thinking of some names what have you guys pick ?

We went with "Tessarian" since our car is blue. It was a Blue Dragon with Blue Flames from the Game of Throne books.

Brought this home yesterday and am very happy with it so far.

Lol you're about a month late to the party but short answer is yes. All teslas ordered from 4/28 on will have no included way to charge them.

That's like selling a ICE car and say, you gotta buy a gas station if you wanna fill it lol.

Alright well I guess I'll just throw it on the order

So how long does it take to get from Fremont to Orlando, Fl? Asking for a friend It’s crazy to think that the car is legit making its way here and hopefully next week it’ll be in my hands.

The car needs to be transported to the rail yard first. Then transported by rail from Fremont California to Birmingham Alabama. Then offloaded and transported by truck to Orlando Florida.

Assume onload and offload are no longer than 24 hours (including time in lots waiting to be loaded). Coast to coast rail deliveries apparently take 7-10 days, so call the rail trip 5-8 days. The truck trip is 8.5 hours. Total time is maybe 8-11 days.

Update with regards to yesterday’s purchase of the Wall Connector: it shipped 24 hours into ordering it. Arrives next Tuesday with FedEx.

Sharing for those who would like insight on delivery for the Wall Connector. Buy it a week before taking delivery, if not earlier.

I just checked the store. The mobile connectors have been out of stock for a while, but I see the adapter bundle is also out of stock now.

"Zephaniah" - meaning God protects....mainly because that car was so expensive and I want God to protect it hahaha

just a text that it’s leaving the factory and too keep an eye out for a text to schedule delivery. edd still the same from the last update 06/12-06/16

FYI the mobile connector is out of stock!! PS Don't forget about the price increase and no Rebate I was late to the game too, but at least I did all the research and know what I'm getting myself into.

Love it! It's also super fast, so you need a little protection too

When naming a car:
1. Choose something that is meaningful to you.
2. Don't copy someone else's name just because it "sounds cool".
3. A story to go with the name is what's cool
4. Never name a car before you have it. It's bad luck.
5. Have fun!

We test drove a M3p and immediately decided on "Tuco" as our name. Everything about this car is "Tight tight tight!"

Yup. I went for the $400 wall connector even though I wanted the mobile connector. But hey, if it gives me more miles an hour, I’ll take it.

Hallelujah!



Probably due to the sport wheels upgrade.

Not so sure about. I upgraded to the 18"sport and my EDD never changed!! I tried It looks like the solid move up dates are when you switch from Standard to LR or add FSD. No thank you!

 

[gators918]

I wasn't getting any response from mine either so then I just started sending messages constantly until somebody answered. An SA ended up giving me their personal cell number to text back and forth with. Communication has been better since, but mine definitely doesn't go above and beyond in his responses. I've inquired about possibly modifying my order with the hopes of getting a better delivery date, but have never had any acknowledgement or action on starting that process.

Careful!! When you "modify" your order, the original order date changes to the day/date you modified.
