Wiki Model 3 Order Tracking Spreadsheet

Wow, this is a caution. I received an invite for orientation from the Kansas City-Manchester service center yesterday (11/27). That location is a 247 mile drive from my home in Iowa. The St. Louis-Chesterfield service center is 215 miles but on a route I've driven many times. The invite implies that delivery is imminent. But is orientation worth 8-10 hours of driving plus an overnight stay? Also, weather in these parts has been dicy. The appointment dates are Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays starting 12/4 through 12/14 with the weekday appointments at 4:00 PM and the Saturday appointments at 2:00 PM. I'm going to call them tomorrow for more information.

I would 100% tell you that you should NOT make that trek and waste money on going to the orientation if it's that far. You would know everything they tell you by spending one hour on this board.

100% Agreed. It is a waste of time at ANY distance. It was 10mi for me and even that wasn’t worth the trip.

I second to that. You will learn more with youtube video than the orientation. Totally not worth the trip!!

That's my opinion, also.

For that length of drive it's not worth it. Probably not worth it w a 30 min drive....use the forum!

forum + online owners manual + youtube = no need for orientation. I have a friend who works at a service center and he completely agreed.

orientation for me was about 5 miles and i totally skipped it lol ... in hindsight... that maybe why i don't have a VIN

Ok, ok, the consensus seems to be the trip to the KC Service Center would be a waste of time. Got it. But a little disappointed. Out here in the hinterlands where Teslas are sparse and Superchargers are even sparser the pull for visiting an actual Tesla Service Center is mighty strong.

 

[voxelman]

Does anyone here have any experience with Carrier Direct Delivery?

 

[sherycash]

How to force a software update. Still stuck on v9.0 from factory took the delivery this Wednesday

I get it. I made a 5 hour round trip to attend the "orientation". I agree with everybody here that it was not worth it had that been the only reason I was going. I had actually never seen a model three close up and certainly driven one. I was able to get in one and they pulled a performance model from the back for me to drive it. If not for that, I would have been pretty disappointed in the trip. Being able to see and drive the car I ordered made it worth it.

I dont yet.. but plan to have mine delivered to Idaho from SLC.. praying it goes well. Roads arent good this time of year

I’m picking up my Stealth today in San Francisco. Ordered 10/17, then matched and switched to a stealth. Midnight silver metallic with black interior. Super excited!

 

[GREYSTEED]

Woke up to a VIN in source code! Ordered 11/3.

 

[Lchamp]

yup, same here. Ordered 11/9.

 

[brycedb74]

wow. That not good at all. Is it a 2020 car?

Yes, built 11/19. Mobile service came on Wednesday to fix it, but couldn’t so now I have to take it in on the ninth. Likely the control module in the A pillar needs replaced. Apparently it controls all the electrical components on that side of the car.

[CrazyCaliLib]

Been over a month now. Getting anxious.

 

[GREYSTEED]

Does anyone know how accurate the projected delivery date in the spreadsheet is compared to the actual delivery date?
