Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

- Start date
That's one of my examples on how Tesla could improve by eliminating contradictory messages. The same thing happened to me: I scheduled with my SC 4 days prior to delivery and for those 4 days, I got one of those "You may be able to take delivery earlier" messages each day. The first time it happened, I texted my SC and they said "That's an automated message from Tesla: please ignore it as your existing Thursday appointment works best".
The top speed of the car is well below where the wing would have an impact.
Picked mine up yesterday. Got a nice ding in LR door I need to get fixed before my ppf appointment. Steering wheel is off to the right. Besides that it’s beautiful and rides like a dream. Wish they still used Michelins though.
Have to call it on this one. Go stick you hand out the window at 163 miles an hour and come back and tell me if you think this is still accurate.

So looking for advice. I ordered 4/23 sg/black Midwest state. My EDD, like others, has moved a lot. Currently 6/20-6/30.
I am considering switching my delivery location. There are 3 main locations in my state. I went into my current delivery location the other day and they said that they have received no deliveries or VINs that they are aware of for the M3P.
At the same time, a location 2 hours from me in the same state has upwards of 6 VINs on the spreadsheet. Two of which are my exact configuration ordered AFTER me.
Then I find out another delivery location in my state also has several M3Ps there
I am so confused why all these locations within hours of me are getting all these VINs and my location acts like they haven’t seen a single one. I’m worried I am screwing myself my having this location. I don’t mind switching and driving 1-2 hours if it’s going to lead me to getting my car much sooner.
What do you think? How do I proceed from here? I also don’t want to screw myself and delay things if they were just about to deliver more here. Thanks.

I saw a reviewer state that he'd rather have the new M3P over the Plaid.
Does this make sense to you or do you think similarly? Or was it just hyperbole?

I like the size of the M3P more as I'm used to it already. Would I love to have a Plaid? Sure, but the deal I got here was too good to pass up.
Also, I forgot one important thing. I was only around 50%-60% charge when I was first trying out the acceleration. I went to supercharge and HOLY MOLY. 80% and a warmed up battery made my body feel funny when I hit it from zero.

This is almost always in peoples heads and now it's going to get worse. Sorry OP.
Go to a track and try and rip around a Model S. The 3 is where it's at for whipping around. Think 3 Series vs 5 Series. Yup, 5 has more power and can be tracked. You really want a BMW M3 for track day though.

More than likely the automated message comes from a higher level within Tesla, while the actual scheduled delivery was set up by the responsible Service Center.
Looking for reviews for those that came from the previous gen M3P on the ride. I have a '23, and feel the ride is so bouncy on the highway over dips and undulations. I'm sure the aftermarket could solve it, but wondering how much of an improvement folks that came from an older M3P are noticing in the ride.
Finally took delivery yesterday here in Houston! It’s been a journey but here we are.
Delivery Recap: I arrived at Tesla 15 minutes prior to my delivery time. There were 3 families waiting for their vehicle before I arrived and they lined us to take delivery about 5 minutes prior to the actual delivery time. The line moved fast and I signed some paperwork. After the paperwork was done, the Tesla advisor popped the trunk of my M3P from afar so that I can walk to the vehicle. Funny enough another older couple were taking delivery of their M3P with the same configuration (W/B) at the same exact time. The Tesla advisor told me to walk to the vehicle and someone would come over and go through some of the features of the vehicle. I waited almost 30 minutes and no one showed up lol. Since it was my first EV I wanted to wait for a SA to possibly provide some tips but grew impatient and just left.
Driving Impressions: Holy sh*t this thing is FAST! Coming from a Type R, this thing just pulls. I did notice that the steering had a bit of a bias to the right. Haven’t really gotten a chance to test the handling much but will do so later. Seats are narrower than I expected (I’m 5’6, 160lbs) and even my siblings made a comment about how narrow the seats felt and how their legs felt so tightly together. Coming from a Type R which also have racing seats, these definitely feel narrower.

^Sorry guys, I’m trying to upload images but it’s saying they are too big. Will try to upload later.

The Type R is nice BUT it is not fast. EVs are on another level due to the instant torque. Even the Model 3 LR would spank the Type R

There a few reviews out there comparing the last M3P and current M3P. This is long one BUT they go into detail the differences:
very recent review:
