Delivered 6/26, drove it in the rain all day, was great

Gave it a wash 6/27, noticed a few little paint pinholes in hard to notice places (typically Rocker panels) then looked under the car and found this

Driver side rocker (Not the painted metal surface but a plastic trim surface) appeared to have scraped when loading/unloading from transport. The circled bits on the 3rd pic are peeled away like only contact with metal could do.

Scheduled service and it put me in for August 8 (5 weeks) holy cow

Got my VIN Monday. 4/23 order date and delivery range July 11 - 18.

@rcm1201 — We woke to a VIN and new delivery dates of July 15-22!!! We are so excited, it’s like Christmas morning over here!

my driver seat does not cool very well. feels very low when set on high

It might be worth getting it checked out at service. We've had like 10 cars with ventilated seats over the last 10-12 years (I have a problem lol), and the seats in the M3P are at/among the top of the list for me in terms of feeling the cooling effects. I've had the car less than a week, so it's early days, but initial signs are strong.

That is terribly disappointing for a 100% charge

This is actually pretty good for 72 mph. 275 Wh/mi is quite good at that speed. In my 2018 Model 3 LR (not set to chill, and in more ideal temps, as 69F is a bit on the "cold" side in my experience), I'd get around 295 Wh/mi under those conditions. I've gotten as high as 350 Wh/mi when going 80 mph. 274 miles range to 0% is pretty solid, that's about 90% advertised range which is MUCH better than prior real-world range estimates from Tesla and would make it one of the best in the industry for EVs. And it's actually likely closer to 280 miles range if we assume there are a few extra "backup" miles the car can go from 0% to dead.

I'm actually more disappointed in the charging speed. 5-80% in 32 min sounds slower than what I get in my 2018. That's the speed I'd expect for 5-90%. I recall some people getting 24-26 min 10-80% charge a few years back. So this actually sounds like a downgrade which would be a bummer.

Most of the recent VINs in the tracker have black interior. Was hoping for an end of quarter miracle but I'm guessing they done producing white interior until the end of the quarter?

Thx - did you post this on FB or Reddit or somewhere else as well?

Also, you mentioned putting together a post with a bunch of data - did you do that yet?

 

[CheddarChiz]

Long shot, but has anyone who has taken delivery tried the LR suspension and/or after market comfort suspensions in the past? How does the new M3P adaptive dampers in standard mode compare to those?

 

[Noodlemon]

Did any of your M3Ps come predrilled with front license plate frame? I'm hoping it doesn't. My SA said they don't predrill the front bumper with it.

I am working on the video that explains everything this weekend. It will be worth the wait.

I put my order on hold till 6/30. Once I take it off will I get a VIN soon or will I move to the back of the line?

I'm not sure that the charging time is representative. Even though I had the Supercharger in the navigation, it waited very late to start preconditioning. The battery might not have been at the optimum temp.

I would hate to pick up the car @ 11pm on Sunday at the factory, will not be able to inspect the car in the dark even though the parking lot is lit up. When I had picked up my 2017 LR Model 3, Tesla had a different delivery center across the factory, they had almost 50 plus bays and cars would be brought out and parked in each bay with lights shinning brightly on the car and you could inspect it easily. Oh well hoping to get it before Sunday, I am also confident that the VIN # would be changing too as that has happened to me in the past, right at the pickup they gave me a different vin # car.

Just got a text and today's delivery appointment has been pushed out to tomorrow the 29th....

Actually that's pretty excellent for someone doing over the speed limit with 20" wheels and it still gives nearly 3.5hrs of driving while allowing a easy 700mile day for roadtrippers.

I swear people's expectations are not aligned with reality.

Same here, I have a feeling we will be picking the car on Sunday at this rate. Hope they make sure all the bolts are in place, don’t want any doors flying when I drive it in insane mode after pickup.
