Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

[M3PDenver]

Anyone in PA/NY/NJ actually schedule their deliveries yet, or spoken to their SA about it? My EDD is starting tomorrow and had a Vin since 5/25. I am glad I didn't get a text from my SA because I am currently out on a business trip until Tuesday but would like to take delivery once I get back. Didn't see anyone with an assigned delivery date for these states on the tracker.

All that data is in the tracker.

Here's what I've gathered,
- VIN = Car done, headed to rail.
- New EDD with current date: Car is at local train station. Still has to go to local delivery center via truck.
- Once delivered to your delivery service center ,they detail/inspect.
- They contact you for delivery.

I agree with this. But also, I had a one week delivery window and was able to proactively call the local delivery center and schedule an appointment in advance of them receiving/inspecting/detailing the car. They had an accurate date when they expected it to arrive and scheduled pickup for a few days after. Worth a shot!

Pull me over, I got money jk

I got money, but the points add up.

That blows. I guess $667/mo it is.

This isn't entirely accurate. There are times that the finance rate they get from a third party isn't great and they can find a better one giving it a second look. There were lots of people improving their loan rates for the model Y by asking about it during the .99% financing. They don't negotiate on price though.

 

[M109Rider]

There is zero negotiation just like their pricing.

And thank God for that. That process is what all other mfg’s use. It sucks, it’s a ridiculous game, and it’s frustrating. I’m thankful Tesla abandoned that part of buying a car.

On the flip side there is no price gouging like you see with popular models at other brands. I love Tesla for the ease of the transaction and not doing the 4 square “let me check with my manager” BS. Besides where else can you get this level of performance at this price.

While this is true, 9.43% APR still blows......

Same as you. I'm in NY and my EDD starts tomorrow. No text and no option to schedule delivery yet.

At that point you might as well purchase instead of leasing.

Yeah the money factor is terrible. The only thing making me lease is that I don’t qualify for the tax credit on a purchase so at least with the lease they’re taking 7500 off the top which offsets the crap rate somewhat.

Yup, my config, UR/BLK doesn't qualify either, but the lease gets the incentive.

Not bad depending on mileage and down. What are the specifics? We leased. Red/White - 15k per year - 2k down - $680

Got my VIN today!! UR/Blk, order date 4/30. My EDD bumped up to 6/4 - 6/13. What's weird is I didn't get a txt or notification from the app. I've been busy all day so has only refreshed the app this morning and nada. I fired the app about 1.5 hours ago and saw i had a VIN. Just swapped it back to lease from cash. I'll fill out the lease app tomorrow.

I ordered 4/29 in FL black/black and i’m still around july 20-aug 31

 

[AJ Henderson]

Ouch, made the mistake of filtering the tracker down to only the cars of my configuration that were ordered roughly before mine and turns out there is only 1 other person that doesn't have a VIN yet and they are in Canada. Here's hoping the VIN is impending...

I'm doing the default $2,999 down, 10k miles a year. Here are the screenshots of the lease #'s.

Did you waive the inspection or anything? I'm going to try to get them to not pull any plastic off.

Right? Don't you miss the days you could walk in the dealership and spend 8 hours haggling and playing mind games with your favorite salesperson who constantly needs to go back and "talk" to their sales manager and then have you talk to the finance guy to hook you up with an ultra low APR. Man just talking about it is making me depressed, now I got to deal with Tesla's lame system of be in and out in 15 mins or even a no contact delivery. You're right, it blows!

People used to do this with ordered BMWs. I personally wouldnt consider it with a Tesla, since even if they would do it that way, if you find damage underneath the wrap, they are not likely to cover it.

I dont think anyone should be waiving vehicle inspection on any Tesla. They are better than they used to be, for sure (and I am still happy with my 2018, even though the road / wind noise is quite a bit louder than I would like), but that just seems like its setting yourself up to be disappointed / have a fight on your hands, for almost no benefit since its not like the car is going to be pristine.

A proper modern garage door should not be easily hackable. They transmit a rolling code that isn't able to be replayed and can't be range extended as the code isn't transmitted without a trigger they can't initiate.

Yeah they shouldn’t but they are sadly! Besides a wire coat hanger defeats the door opener as well.

 

[Danny6ix]

white/black ordered 04/23 in TX. No VIN. June 1-15th estimate.

Did you just get pushed back June 15-30?

 

[CheesyWhales]

Anyone know if any locations around Orlando have a showroom model to see? I tried calling my nearest to check, but their automated system only wants to automate.
