Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

[AJ Henderson]

Absolute nonsense lol. You’d think a company of this size would have an algorithm that calculates a tighter window using the rate of cars being produced, combined with other data like geographical location, etc.. A 4 week window with a creeping start date EVERY DAY.. is ridiculous

even pizza companies show more detailed information for deliveries

Have you send Window's download bar?

 

[AJ Henderson]

Sooo........ Fremont fire? From what I can find on the net, apparently an oven in the paint shop. I hate to wish bad things for other people but hopefully it was on the MY line. Otherwise I'll put on the big boy pants and wait. Repeat after me, I'm not really in desperate need for a ridiculously well valued sports sedan, really I'm not.

But summer is coming and I want my preconditioning... My children will end up hating my car (ok maybe not just them), after being spoiled by my wife's MYP.

Just got off the phone with Elon. He said anyone who complains about their EDD, will get switched to the Roadster timeline.

Don't say you weren't warned.

Honestly, I feel like we are probably in the safe zone though. I know that another FL member mentioned that there was a ~05/27 delivery for the vehicles -- so our cars are probably with theirs. It is probably already en route.

It was me who mentioned this. I have a delivery date of May 29 through June 5. Speaking with my advisor this weekend in person she showed me her screen that showed an on-site date of the 27th. Doing that math the vehicle should’ve been on the road quite a while ago. Even if they were not, they most definitely were not in the factory and were likely at a holding facility.

 

[adaminfl]

Possibly. Or they could be sitting on the Fremont lot. Should only take a few days for a car carrier to go coast to coast and my earliest EDD is 5/30.

Definitely takes more than a few days. You have to account for the fact that it is not a straight shot, and they are making many stops along the way delivering vehicles.

I would disagree with many stops delivering vehicles.

Let's say they have 20 vehicles to deliver: 10 going to Denver, 10 to New York City. And let's say they have 2 haulers, each holding 10 vehicles.

They're not gonna load each hauler with 5 for Denver and 5 to NYC. They're gonna load 1 hauler with 10 Denver vehicles, and 1 hauler with 10 NYC vehicles. That way, the Denver-bound hauler can drop-off and return to California. And the NYC-bound hauler doesn't have to stop in Denver to unload anything.

Will they make stops for fuel and rest breaks for the driver: absolutely. Will they make many stops throughout the country to drop off 1 or 2 vehicles along the way: nope. They're gonna optimize the routes as much as they can. So yes, a hauler will take longer than you or I could drive cross-country, but it's not like they're gonna be stopping constantly to unload vehicles along the way.

 

[scrapps]

It's a moot point. I'm pretty sure they take them most of the way by train

This all seems right, though I’m pretty sure Tesla uses trains to ship to a central eastern location, and then semis break out from there to delivery centers. I could see our delivery windows updating again once the train arrives, and then once the cars get unloaded at the delivery centers.

Yes. A car is only assigned a VIN once it's built. The VIN is essentially a car's serial number for tracking purposes.

I wonder... Tesla is definitely different then legacy automakers. I remember ordering a car back many years ago (Ford Pickup) and the VIN would be assigned before its produced since it does have some specific attributes i picked . Tesla however makes cars in batches and not specific for an order.

So what kind of backlog will it take for Tesla to revise the “June ETA” on the order site? Lol

Hey now, it doesn’t say June of what year

 

[inactdev]

First day of ED window. Any takers on me getting a VIN and delivery before June 4 ?

At this rate, I'll bet the NY Mets winning the World Series before you get a VIN.

I have the exact same window. Black w white interior located in NJ.

Hoping since the window hasn’t changed they have a vin ready to be assigned. I don’t get how this works lol

 

[Gasaraki]

Reading this thread i'm just happy my edd hasn't changed at all. Just have a good feeling chicago is going to hit on that Red/Black combo in my may23rd-june20th window

I think the Red/Black combo are all coming in that time period. Mine is basically in the same window.

My window starts tomorrow and I’m asking myself the same thing lol. I’m not sure what to think at this point.

 

[hkarthik]

Wild that we are still sitting at zero confirmed deliveries and zero black interior VINs.

Hopefully this situation is better by the end of the week!

I have a black interior and an EDD of 5/22-6/5. I am hoping it’s better soon too, and I will absolutely let everyone know as soon as I get a VIN assignment!

 

[Soklean]

Still nothing and date has not changed since order date. If someone can add me to the tracker that be great.

Order date:4/23
Color: Blue
Interior: Black
Location: Las Vegas NV
