Here's some useful information for anyone new to the experience of waiting for their vehicle.
Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room
I’ve ordered a model 3 LR in mid March. Original delivery is at Bay Area. On Jun 24, which is a day before earliest estimate delivery date at that time, (vin was not assigned yet), I ask SA to delay release the vin number until 7/1, because I planned to move to Irvine in early July. On July 1, the vin number was still not out, and I called customer service to change my delivery location to Irvine. At that time the agent told me there will be some delay to the order, but was not very specific about what does that mean. Then today I saw my edd changed to late Oct - late Dec. I thought it might be a placeholder thing. So I called the customer service again today and they said this is due to the change of delivery location and my queue is now changed; I’m not in the priority priority queue as mid March orders and is not at the end of the current line now, as the new orders are from Nov to Feb. I am wondering if there is anything I can do now. Thanks.
I learned due to the larger brakes you also have to use them more or they rust. (And you have very few after market options as the brakes are so large). I kept learning more and more deterrents as I researched.
This M3LR is primarily for my wife to drive and will compliment our hybrid SUV for road trips. She could care less about the acceleration or top speed of the car. She thinks my SR+ is plenty fast.
The P tires are larger diameter so more easy to pop on a pot hole. Also they are not rated for winter temps below 40F. Even stored at that temp they get damaged.
The P is just not a great deal as a daily driver. If you buy it your gonna sink a lot more money into it over the long term then the LR. Tesla just dangles it because people make an impulse buy wanting their car NOW instead of waiting. IMO there is no benefit to the P over the LR.
You can always buy the EAP like I did
The only feature I’d want is the lane change feature.You can always buy the EAP like I did
Yeah that and the NoAP are cool. Their also adding the green light chime supposedly so basically gutted the entire 12k package. I took the leap last week hopefully it's worth it, well see
They are thin and stretched on the uberturbines. I live in Midwest with questionable roads in spots. The tires are not ideal for the roads I typically drive on a daily basis. I will be looking for something with a thicker sidewall in the future.
That’s the same configuration I’m getting. What % tint did you do? Also did you do any coatings?
When Autopilot implements Pothole Avoidance (Beta), Tesla owners will rejoice.

Looks beautiful! Congrats and enjoy!Another update arrived this Independence Day morning. 103 days since ordering…moved to the right 2 weeks…July 26-Aug 9. At least the spread remainEd at 2 weeks.
I’m glad Navy Fed locked me in for 90 days. The wait continues!

So to anyone wondering I went back to the archives to see what was going on in April ( start of last quarter) and it was pretty much nothing until the last few days. Then the VINs started pouring in. That's the typical pattern I'm told so likely July will be similar, a slow frustrating month. I've also noticed this forum has gotten a lot quieter over the last few weeks as more and more veterans have graduated and less newbies have come on. Makes me wonder if orders placed are slowing down as well
