If you are getting money to Tesla the day of pickup you can do one of two options. If you are like me my bank gives a pre-approval blank check and the store will write in all the information or you can go the traditional way of giving your bank the VIN and work all the financing normally.

Problem is that when Tesla omits or substitute (due to supply chain problems), they Don't inform you whatsoever.

I totally agree! But for the past month or so Tesla seems to be not deleting things. Next month may change
My bank sent me an email saying that the email can be used as proof of loan and approval. Says they will send the money to tesla after I sign the purchase papers. Seems odd though? Tesla will be ok with that?
My questions in that text thread that supposedly reaches my SA have always been about upgrading my order to the Model 3 Performance. I specifically asked that because I thought it would definitely get someone’s attention, instead of the “where’s my car” question that no one has a definite answer to. Alas, even my upgrade questions remain unanswered lolDepends what and how you are asking. Anytime I ask about a edd it's silence. I worded my text today differently and played dumb. I said oh I saw my edd was moved is something wrong with my application and do I need to do anything? That got me a response in about 30 minutes. Then since I knew someone was there I followed up with is there any more info you can provide? They said no they can't but at least I got more then crickets this time

One can send a $1.00 payment to Tesla beforehand (as a test b4 D-day) to see if it is a Success or Fail.
Got my Vin today! I hit refresh on app about a hundred times since I got into a two week EDD about a week ago In my case at least I went from an EDD of 8/17-8/30 to an EDD of 8/19-8/25. Seems most folks I have read get a 3 or 4 day EDD with Vin. In any case very anxious to pick the car up when the time comes!
My order date was 5/7 for a Blue LR 18" tires black interior included Autopilot no FSD. Original EDD was like mid Sept - late Oct if memory serves me correctly. Than later in time Aug 16-Sept 30 and you have seen the rest. So hope for those with later EDDs maybe.
I have never named a car - might do this one - 'Blue-tarsky'? Kidding - need to give it some thought obviosuly!

I don't have a delivery date...so as of Sat I will be the oldest. Glad you are finally getting yours though.FINALLY! And by the way, you got your vehicle FASTER than I did LOL.....we will get ours on Saturday! I KNEW that you would get it asap! So glad things worked out for you @Patrick Jarin !!!!! She looks sweet!
We are doing something similar. If all goes well on Saturday, we will be taking it in for PPF/TINT on Monday! Pick it back up on Wednesday from our PPF/TINT guy.
I am SOOOOO HAPPY FOR YOU! Happy Dances all around!
@EdgeM3LR ......Nope! I have you beat by one day! OD: 3/26 and we pick it up on Saturday the 13th.
I also haven't heard of folks lately that have the Non-Matrix headlights or any of the previous issues with the charge port things. Good Karma to all awaiting their M3LRs!!!!!
What were your order details. I ordered 7/13 and my EDD changed to November 2022 - February 2023 last week. My order is M3LR, MSM, Black, 19" Sport, no FSD. Thanks.

I ordered 7/1 and i just got pushed to the same EDD window. This was posted earlier and gives me some hope, but it is what it is! #5 of the ordering FAQ
Thanks! Really hope that is the case. Already fighting the urge to change configuration to see if I get a better EDD.
VIN is 329***. Hoping for the matrix lights!

After 12,000 miles on my 22 m3lr that I took delivery of in may (27 day order to delivery in case anyone wondered(cough cough CLE lol)), I wanted to share a few negatives (because its not all cupcakes and rainbows)
So I have 2 issues that are extremely annoying and they are both software issues that likely will get worked out someday with updates.
First, is navigation... ughhhh its sooo frustrating because even with premium connectivity and "live traffic" this thing will not take you on the fastest route to save a life.... it will take you down roads that are closed, it will tell you to turn where this isn't even a road sometimes.... By far apple maps is a far superior navigation system. I absolutely love the interface of it, the looks of it and how it knows when im going home or to work or one of my favorite locations. But the annoyance when i'm in an unfamiliar area erks me.
Second, autopilot.... its great when its great. I commute 120 miles 5 days a week on the ohio turnpike and normally it functions flawlessly... .But phantom braking when not a single car or bug is on the road for no reason whatsoever is extremely shocking...I've literally yelled at my car so many times, like what are you doing dummy! lol... I have found a few spots on the ohio turnpike in the 2348751049 construction zones where the crews have stripped off some of the lane lines and the car will brake and slow you down in those spots and now I just take control or move to the passing lane if there are no other cars on the road....
Those are my 2 biggest frustrations with my car. Other than that its been pretty good. And as long as you keep in mind that its just a car and its made to travel on the roads where rocks and debris also exist you wont be very frustrated about paint chips that happen.
My electric bill went up by about $150 per month, my average daily charge is about 35-40 kWh's. Shop around for better energy providers through your electric company, go through and look at applestoapples.gov to find the best rates.. or in my case the actual electric company has a better rate than anyone else.
Also I highly recommend downloading the "Plugshare" app to help you find places to charge in more remote area's on your trips/vacations.
Lastly I will comment on my tire tread wear and brake wear over the past 12,000 miles because it was a major concern of mine when I found out how fast the car eats tires... So I rotated my tires a week ago by myself with jack pucks and 1 harbor freight low profile "Daytona" brand jack, with a 21mm socket and impact wrench. There was no uneven wear and visually the tread was still at a very good depth, I didn't measure.
But the brakes! ____ WOW, 12,000 miles and it doesn't look like anyone has ever used the brakes, there are zero lines on the calipers and the pads still look brand new.. this is a game changer. I could probably get 200,000 miles out of one set of brake pads and calipers, not even stretching the truth on that.

I feel your pain, mine got pushed to Jan - Apr 2023AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA My EDD got pushed back to Nov - Feb 2022! This is horrible news
@ColoradoMikeNope not old for your order time frame. Mine is 317XXX and I ordered on 26 Mar. This fits in the time frame for the cars. Tesla is cranking things out after their 2 week break so it isn't uncommon for VINs to move like that. I ran into an issue with mine when I was "moved up" to take delivery in May. The VIN for that car was WAY off from what the other ones coming to Colorado and many other places (tbh) and it was a RED FLAG (NOTE: that vehicle was previously declined). Turns out there was a reason and we did decline that vehicle. Bottom line is you should be just fine and your VIN is right in line with where it should be
I haven't been able to discern any rythum to VIN assignments. I assumed it is because of VINs going to other models as well. What cadance have you identified? thanks
