Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

Tesla trying to send me 2 hours away to some random inventory match. Tesla delivery process seems to get worse every time. Was a breeze with my 2018 3, 2023 y was a bit janky, and this model 3 performance is so far kind of a pita.
Pretty soon will be missing the dealership experience.

Seriously. My 21 M3LR Gabe me an EDD 2 months out, and I had a car within 2 weeks with just the 1 EDD before a VIN. This is just a mess, but hopefully it’s resolved soon. No particular rush other than my own excitement.
Delivery appointment on 7/3 in Aurora CO. Blue 2024 M3P. Oh boy!
Trading in 2022 M3LR with 12000 miles for $28000. The combined tax credits are $12,500.
That takes the sting out of the terrible depreciation.

I think there will always be a backlog/wait for a small percentage of folks - of course, I've experienced this at legacy dealers, as well - it's not JUST a 'Tesla thing'. But I don't know which is worse - having multiple EDD changes (I did, as well), or like the last Toyota my family ordered - absolute silence and lack of any sort of communication for months until out of the blue - a phone call to let us know it's there. Honestly, I hate both.
I just think for something that costs -this- much to make and buy, it just seems odd to me that any auto-maker can't be more precise with build/delivery data in this day and age. But maybe I am being too unreasonable.
Anyway - I've seen a ton of Highland LR's each time I've been to my local SC, so I would hope it wouldn't take long to get you one of your choosing in your area, as well. If not, good luck with the Cayman or whatever you/your wife end up driving.
Raptor my EDD updated to 7/6-7/20 on my black black m3p in nova . vins soon?
Looks like the random EDD monkey pressing buttons at Tesla landed on July 6 - 20 for me. NO VIN lol
Mine is same region, same spec. black/black. I wonder if I should change it to UR/Blk out of spite LOL
I think one thing that needs to be understood is that this is a brand new version of a car. We're at the start of a vehicle ramp. This isn't a Camry where the tiniest of design changes are made year to year and the car has been produced for thirty years. Sure, the M3P isn't a new car, but this version is different enough that it's receiving the type of attention and waitlist of basically a brand new model, and seems to be getting ramped like a brand new model. These kinds of delays and EDD shenanigans wouldn't be a thing if this car was three years old and just chugging along like, say, a 2022 Model 3 Performance might have been. So I understand the frustration, but I wouldn't let that make you wary of doing business with them as if they were a year-old startup no one has heard of. Tesla's customer service leaves much to be desired, absolutely, but the product is ultimately worth it and has proven itself over the last 15 years that it's worthy of having overall consumer trust IMO.
I’m scrambling for anything right now to find one within a 12 hour driving distance. It’s not looking good. There was a demo recently I should have taken.
I think the only real saving grace will be if my EDD just adds a day as opposed to changing to August or some crazy later date. I think someone had a soft match, but got a VIN about two weeks earlier. So far nothing has changed on the app yet.
Tomorrow I find my fate or have another argument with the wife about the car as she is very much opposed to it now more than ever.
Took delivery on 6/29, VIN only came 2 days before! Things can happen fast on the west coast it seems. Car has none of the issues that have been mentioned here, but am still keeping an eye out. Only really have had one chance to floor it in insane mode, but the acceleration is truly incredible. Had some fun zipping around/past all the traffic today.
Finally had a chance to wash and ceramic coat the car. I noticed a scratch in the front red caliper. Could have happened before delivery. But I just noticed another chip on the other side. Perhaps the aero covers I took off may give added protection? I bought a can of high of temperature red brake caliper paint to touch up the areas. Seems a little darker than the oem paint. Sorry, forgot to take pictures before I did the touch up.

Beautiful. Our Edds were tracking the same until you switched color for the floor model. Just thought I would let you know they just pushed out my July 4 to aug 1 Edd all the way out to July 28-to Sept 1. And here I was thinking would get some love in the new quarter. I think I am going to peace out from the forums until I get a VIN. Well done grabbing one!

It does NOT include the wheels.
I always do the wheels myself. I think wheels are the one area that benefits the most from a ceramic coat. Ceramic coating essentially provides an barrier to environmental contaminates and wheels 100% of the time gets subjected to environmental contaminates.
I have coated the my last 3 wheels sets and cleaning them afterwards is a dream.
If you do do the wheels, also coat the calipers while you are at it.

you tinted your windshield? If yes, then it is def the tint causing the distortion.
My buddy does this to his cars and every time I ride in them .. at certain angles, I can see the distortion .. drives me crazy but he is use to it.
