Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

[GuyFromAz]

Took the plunge Tuesday night. Replacing my 2020 M3P stealth with a full performance model. I haven't been on here since I purchased my wife's YLR last year, didn't there used to be a thread that people posted the interest rates they got purchasing a Tesla? Anyone able to brag about a decent APR in these ridiculous financial times? I got a decent one for my wife through US Senate FCU, wonder if there's one that's better

I've heard people talk about the "Stealth Performance" vehicles before -- how do those even happen? Am I correct in that it's a Performance vehicle with 18 or 19 wheels (and not the 20s)? The Website configurator doesn't even offer that as an option (pick Performance, and there are no wheel choices to make).

What is the earliest anyone go their confirmation email? I got mine at 12:24 pm Eastern on Tuesday 4/23/2024. I was just wondering when ordering actually went live that day? Was anyone earlier than this?

My fuzzy recollection is that in the early days of M3P the "first delivered" vehicles didn't have some "upgrades" that came soon after. Some buyers upgraded (for a fee) to the new bits, some didn't. The ones that didn't started calling it "stealth" as (IMO) a coping mechanism. Some "didn't want" the "upgrades" at any price, so that played into the naming/talk. Kind of like how people talk about their cars as "unicorns" when they are rare even if it means the "characteristics that are unique" are kind of awful.

Gotcha! Yeah I never grasped how one "configured" one of those since they don't seem to be possible on the website. Hence, the "Stealth" I suppose! .

Was trying to find some videos of cars with white seats, but I think all the review videos I've seen have black. Anyone seen them yet? Other than in renders?

Been looking as well. No luck so far.

Ordered an ultra red/ black interior on the 23rd. Wanted the white interior but it was a choice of the ultra red or white seats to qualify for the ev credit(3 young kids with white seats may not work well). Hoping Tesla will offer the supercharger transfer from my current 2015 Model S before delivery date as they did last quarter.

Changed white/black for grey/white, need the white this time had black on my last m3p.

Someone linked this video previously. Ultra red with white interior.

Estimated delivery is now “June” on the website.

Price just increased $1K. Good job to all who jumped in early!

I see that white interior went down. If that stays true by the time vehicle is delivered, will Tesla adjust the price?

I feel for those who could get the tax credit and wanted red

If you already ordered you locked in your price. If not, you just have to see how things play out.

Hello,

I reside in Southern California and received an order confirmation at 9:25 AM PDT for a white-colored M3P with a black interior on the 23rd as RN121535xxx. I will provide an update once I receive a VIN.

Cheers!

 

[reef12344]

yeah with price increase, red is outside the 55k. Stinks for those who didn't order.

First month M3P here.

Car came with 20" rims, "lower" suspension (I can't recall if this was real or BS), and better brakes. The cars did not come with their spoiler or badges; those were installed later.

The rims, suspension, and brakes were part of a "performance upgrade package" and at one point you could order a P without the PUP. So you basically got a LR w/the power for the P and 18" rims. It was somewhere between 3 and 5k cheaper.

I could be wrong, but that's my recollection.
