Thanks! Aurora at E 33rd. It was smooth. I wouldn't change anything. I'm always nervous something is going to go wrong but it all turned out ok.
There was no way to hold the current car past the delivery date (6/8) so they released the VIN. The order hold is up to two weeks with supposedly no price change and then they will look for a match again. Where in the que I return is the great mystery.
The local guy said he would work with me on the delivery date if a VIN came up to deliver before I came back into town which is about 7 days after the hold. That likely won't happen, and I'd be surprised if I got a VIN before the end of July anyway if things are slowing down as much as they appear with VIN releases. On the bright side, that's money that can sit in high yield savings and earn some more interest while I wait.
Ordered same day, EDD was similar, 6/12-6/30 and then I got a VIN, 5/20 and delivery request 5/26 for anytime starting 6/1, took delivery yesterday.

Wait homelink isn’t available on the M3P?
Edit - I see that myQ is available which is prolly what I was thinking of.

Yeah I have the same theory. They're hoping all the Bay Area folks can take delivery at the last minute and won't have vacations around the 4th of July holiday.
I actually will have to push my delivery into July and they won't hit their Q2 numbers because of me. Unless they can get me a delivery scheduled in the next 10 days. Your move Elon!
Having the change to travel abroad is a no brainer decision in terms of just having to wait a bit. Not like you'll be taking it with you, so your car will be that much fresher when you get it!! I bet you'll still get yours before the rest of us, too, as you'll be up in the queue ahead of so many people. My EDD is July 3-August 7, with a 5/1 order date, so if that actually holds up(*ahem*), I could be getting a VIN in just a few weeks, and you'll def be ahead of me.
Besides, you're right, if you're catching near 5% interest, it's not a bad thing! I'm just using my time to plan what accessories, mods, etc. I'll be adding to it once I get a hold of it. Anticipating good things brings us ongoing joy and I trust you'll get to do some traveling AND be able to look forward to a nice little reward when you return.

the video where they removed the wheels showed that there's a metal hoop holding the large aeros in place -- i wonder if there's a way to remove those from outside the wheel? would that make them easier to remove?
Removing Aero Covers from the new 2024 M3PL
Does anyone have any tips or tricks to remove the large aero covers from the new M3P? I prefer the look without them and I'm willing to sacrifice the efficiency. Edit: And I really don't want to have to dismount! Reference:teslamotorsclub.com
This is basically what they did the last 4-5 years, with the exception that before Giga Berlin / Shanghai came on line, the first month of a quarter was international shipments, then shipments farther away from fremont, then closer.
Supposedly Tesla was to have ended the "quarter end crunch" but I havent seen evidence that they ended that crunch.

They never cited any reasons, but remember there was always a lot of "doom and gloom" around whether EVs as a primary product (not a compliance product) could even succeed. Tesla was always pushing quarter end deliveries to increase the number of deliveries from "the previous quarter".
They supposedly stopped doing that, but given last quarters results (and subsequent company actions), I am sure they want to show that as a blip, not a trend (in car deliveries).
I am not much into speaking about "tesla the company", (which is why I mod vehicle forums and dont even visit the "tesla inc" subforum here), but thats the overview of the answer to your question as I see it, anyway.
So hypothetically, what if you agreed to take delivery on a certain date, and then didn't show up? And then apologetically promised to show up in another 3 days. And then did it again. And then finally show up after 9 days to take the car.
Asking for a friend.
I used a flathead screwdriver wrapped in cloth to avoid scratching the wheels. I took my time on each one, prying open the edge and pulling off the rest by hand. The clips are very strong and mark the wheels, but the marks can be easily buffed off. I used the cloth to pull the pieces to avoid hurting my hand

Yeah they stopped including the RF units in like 2019 or 2020. You can use myQ but I think it costs.
EDIT: the Homelink RF unit is what they sell in the shop.
It’s available you just have to pay $350 for the module to be installed. I already ordered one for my incoming m3p.
Assuming this is a serious question, the most likely thing to happen would be after a person didnt show up that second time, they would unmatch them from the car when they didnt show up for the second one, send them a text message that they did so, and remind them of what it says in the order agreement about keeping the $250.
What if the person had a legitimate reason for the second no-show. Like their dog ate their cashier's check? Surely there's some leeway for a few days delay here and there. Accidents do happen.
