Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

[cardsdoc]

*own
I wonder When I will be able to edit my posts.
I'm speaking purely from an accident avoidance perspective. Even in calm driving people sometimes need to stop as quickly as possible.
... at least I sure have.

Agree. Summer tires with temps consistently below 40 deg F is not a great idea. And if it rains even worse. Stopping distance will be significantly worse.

Bruh. A clear plastic bag that big... you couldn't avoid it? Just drove right through it???

Same order date, config and EDD update as you - and I'm also in AZ. No VIN yet either... bummer!

This is utter bullshit. I sold my car FFS and also had I a more accurate timeline I could have been more patient and sold for a better price.

Those who are trying to decide on whether stealth gray is it or not, this is your sign to keep it. Although I LOVE the ultra red, the coat on this color is gorgeous. Worth the tax credit and worth the color

I feel for you, man! I was in the same position and almost sold, but decided not to at the last minute, given the fluctuating dates. The lack of transparency and clarity is horrible. Let's meet up in Old Town sometime when we finally get the SG Teslas. LOL

Where’d you see some ? I’m having trouble finding any awesome black M3P pics!

Honestly, one you posted earlier which was zoomed into to the butt.
And watched and rewatched this video from UnPlugged Performance.

Ultra Red looks great in person. I like the black too but it hides the lip and spoiler too much

What is your new EDD now that you have a VIN? My VIN was assigned today and delivery estimated June 5 - June 14.

The EDD updated to "May 31 - Jun 7" and then right after scheduling delivery it updated to "Delivery: June 1"

 

[brianm3p]

Hoping to use this as a good sign. Ordered 4/27, somewhat similar EDD history and have a current of 6/7-6/21. Also in CA and dammit, it’s my birthday!!

Sounds like yours could be coming really soon!

Ahhhh, the benefits of being in the Bay area. LOL. We are envious of the VIN, but not your cost of living. I'll wait.

No thank you…I’ll gladly wait a couple weeks! COL is the tip of the iceberg!

To be fair I ordered 4 minutes after release haha! I am excited for ALL the PNW people have been waiting, I can't be the only one that truck

No, but you might be the only M3P on the truck, surrounded by a gang of Y's!

Grats!

 

[arkhos]

No VIN for me. I would for sure let everyone know.

Yes, I figured if PNW VINs were starting to roll out, you and Cheddar and a few others would be knocking over little kids to come here and spread the good word!

There's been one so far - Crossing fingers SOON!

I think someone is messing with the tracker. I just double-checked mine and it showed I had a VIN when I don't.

its probably a SA lol

I’d say that’s on you!

I saw my first 2024 M3P on Highway 280 (SF Bay Area) at noon. I tried to catch up to it but it was doing at least 90 mph and my old VW egolf has a max speed of 85 mph so I lost it.

On a different note, my delivery window just went from 5/28-6/26 to 6/22-6/30 even though I ordered it on 4/23 and live in the SF bay area.

Interesting, almost the exact same thing happened to me. I wonder if they just pushed all the Bay Area deliveries back.

Same thing for mine. I changed it back to no VIN.

I’d say that’s on you!

Many of us have situations where two cars is not an option. In my case, I have a 25 year old sport car that is not easy to sell.
Once my window moved up to a delivery within the week (from delivery within two months), I sold my car. Now it's moved out a month. Unreasonable to blame the player when the game is as much of a clusterfuck as EDDs are.

PNW friends!! I got a VIN - Oregon - 4/23 order SG/Black. EDD Updated to June 2 - 8. Get ready!!!

YESSSSSSSS!

Is this a concern for just regular steady acceleration and steady braking driving?

Yes, if you are driving in temps under 40degrees Fahrenheit or snow. Its not even "starting" and "moving" thats the main issue... its " stopping " (which is probably the most important thing we do as drivers).

Dont need to take anyones word for it though, there are a ton of articles, videos etc, some even put out by either tire companies or professional review types that review tires about the difference between summer tires and all seasons / winter in actual winter weather.
