Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

[DW3434]

I just worry that the need/want for EOQ numbers inevitably leads to quality control issues on the assembly line, which we then take delivery of and result in having to deal with months' worth of repeated service visits.

That's definitely a legitimate concern, especially when I live 60 miles away from service center. This would be the first time I am buying a car with no local dealerships

The Tesla (Camarillo, CA) location said they typically see a car delivered about a week after a VIN is assigned. When I asked how accurate the estimated delivery date was, they just said (nicely) to wait till a VIN is assigned.

Valid. Its funny. We’ve owned four since 2018 and NEVER had an issue other than when mobile service came to replace a tire and took out our front end with their truck when leaving.

Guys when do you realistically think our orders are going to start being delivered? The optimist in me would like to believe June, but I’ve yet to see anyone received their orders yet; much yet get their VIN.

Is tesla going to start mass shipping the M3P around June, or what?

Some cars will get delivered in May. I think cars in Northern California will ship as early as 2 weeks from now or perhaps even less. They will ship a ton of them in June.

My estimated delivery date has been May-June since the day of placing my order i.e. 23 Apr. Here in UAE, they are still showing May-June on the website right now as well.

That is my guess too - there will be some in the wild by the end of this month, but ramping up solid in June.

At least... I hope!

Are you guys doing the final payment now, or waiting till a VIN is assigned?

Wait till assigned Vin. Anything could happen before that

Also don't pay for the car until you have inspected it. This is the way.

if i recall correctly, don't Tesla need the full payment before delivery?

If you are picking up from a service center you can absolutely inspect the vehicle prior to making full payment. I've done this on 4 cars. They've never said no.

How did they resolve that lol?

I think we’ll see first assigned VINs this week.

FWIW, I ordered my LR Model 3 on Jan 10th. I live in Northern CA (20 mins from Fremont). I still don't have my car, or even a VIN. So I would dial back your expectations a tad!

Is it a white interior? I think they had big delay for that

Yep it is.
