Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

[scootp88]

i actually just got a delivery date push back. I got that same text as you and was given 16-18 delivery date choices and then an hour ago they sent me a text saying the car won’t be there on time and they rescheduled me to the 20th. I’m in the southeast if that helps. Atlanta to be exact

Same here, the earliest I could get was the 24th now. Crazy as car shipped on June 1st.

If you had gotten in on the Fall of 2021 for electric BMW pre-orders, you’d be getting that BMW possibly at the end of this month. So your wait here is actually shorter.

Don't know if there is anything "wrong" with it, but it just can't keep up in the heat. I'm guessing it's trying to cool both the interior of the vehicle as well as keep the batteries at a certain temperature. In the user manual Tesla says your AC may be warmer during certain charging due to cooling the batteries. I think that would apply when driving around too.
When it's 112, the AC isn't that great in the Tesla. When it gets below 110, it seems to be significantly better. It blows hard enough, just not very cold.

112F Jesus christ God bless you living there

LOL.
Summer just started here. 112 is pretty normal. Hottest I've had here so far is 121. Honestly though, once you hit 110, anything above that really feels the same.

I will never complain about the heat again. I would think parked car tires fuse to the asphalt at those temps.

How does it normally work with financing through a CU if you are only financing a portion?… do they cut a check to you for the amount financed and then you bring a check for the full amount to tesla during pick up? Or do they need to write the check directly to tesla? And then you send a separate check for the balance?

Battery supply dominates everything right now. All those wonderful models that companies are announcing, especially those with low sticker prices, are simply not going to be hitting the street in any large numbers because there just aren't enough batteries to go around. Then there's the vehicle production problem itself. Legacy has ICE vehicle production plants and startups have no production plants. Both are having to scramble to get moving on BEVs.

Ironically, the Chinese are cranking out low cost, shorter range vehicles in droves. Because they make the batteries.

Here's the top selling BEV in China for 2021. In 2020 the fully loaded version was US$5,607.

Complain. Go by the Heat Index.

Heat Index

Right now in the DC area it's 93 and 44% humidity. Tucson is 104 and 15% humidity. Our Heat Index is 104. Tucson's is 102.

Yes, mine was just re-scheduled for Friday, tentatively. There is a delay in delivery.

Idk why but it really is amazing to me watching machines build machines. Just feels like the future

Can't even fry an egg on the sidewalk at 112. It's perfect swim weather.

I would rather have 112 with practically no humidity than 88 with 80% humidity. Humid weather is oppressive.

The Teslanet Funding Bill is passed. The system goes on-line August 4th, 2022. Human decisions are removed from strategic defense. Teslanet begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

They should either send a check directly to Tesla or send you the check (made out to Tesla) to give to Tesla at delivery. Then you pay the rest with bank transfer or certified check.

In Seattle, there's a bunch of new cars sitting on what appears to be some sort of staging lot in SODO. I wonder if any of these may end up being vehicles for any of us Seattleites on this forum.

There's probably around 50 of them. I was unable to get on site to peek at any of the VINs, nor get close enough to tell about the version of headlights they have (sorry for the poor photos).
