Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

Just want to add and point that people losing traction on their brand new cars/wheels can also be down to brand new tires. Folks should be careful in the first 100 miles until they are scrubbed in.
Your tire and wheel ratios? No, not in my car. You can only select wheel size. Ratios are your tire width, sidewall height ratio and your tire size.
It depends. Some aftermarket wheels that are 18" will fit over the performance brakes. The stock 18" Tesla wheels will NOT fit. The bolt pattern should be the same 5x114.3 pattern.
Ordered on 4/25 got my date moved from July-August to June 20-30. Anyone similar to my time frame that has received their VIN?
The website explicitly stated I'd qualify and the change of price only brings it to 54990.
I ordered first day when prices were at 52990 + 2000 UR. = 54990
I’m in the same boat looking around. I sent a message to Martian wheels asking to confirm if their 18” will fit the performance (says on the site fits all performance variants but that might have just been from the previous M3P)
It didn't hold me to current pricing, it held me to the pricing back then.
Site still stated I qualified plus the new order agreement had the 54990 price on it.
Spoke to my SA yesterday and they said the vehicle is scheduled to arrive at my delivery location on Tuesday 6-4. Today my EDD changed from 6/4/24 - 6/11/24 to 6/2/24 - 6/11/24. I reached out to my SA today asking if this makes any difference and no reply. I asked when we will be able to schedule a definitive delivery date, no reply. Sounds like there is movement but nothing certain.
I was a 4/27 order date (in Arizona- SG/White). NO VIN. It was originally 5/11 to 5/25 (ha! yea right), then moved to July-August, but on Sunday moved back to June 23rd to June 30th. I am hoping it stays in that range or earlier, considering that I ordered it with an "est. delivery of June." I think what was originally posted when sold *should* be honored. I suspect that's what Tesla is trying to do. Moving the EDD's around randomly, as others have said, is only leading to frustration, confusion, and poor decision-making (i.e., prematurely selling a car, getting financing and running credit twice, trade-in quotes expiring, etc.). I've complained to my SA about all of this and he 100% agrees that it's ridiculous and needs to be streamlined and more transparent. To be honest, if the cars weren't amazing, I'd have run away from Tesla by now. The service and processes are certainly not keeping me as a customer. I've referred countless people to buy Teslas. I can no longer confidently do so without adding a huge caveat that they're in for a nightmare of a production/delivery experience. :/
Woke up this morning to a VIN assigned! Completed insurance/final pay steps and have my delivery scheduled for Saturday in Santa Monica.

I ordered on 04/24, but the app says 04/25. I got a bunch of EDDs; the furthest out was Jul 6- Aug 10. Then, a few days ago, it changed to Jun 7 - Jun 21.
Darn it, yeah it was showing you received a VIN on the tracker. Gave us PNW folks false hope! lol

Great point! Can the AZ person who took delivery confirm that the tires don't slip at all when properly worn in (which should be true within a few days) and over 100 degree temps outside? I'm really hoping that the statement about slipping was due to low temperature/new tires/some weird condition. Though, I drove off from my pickup location on my previous M3P and the tires never slipped, so if the "new" tire issue is the only variable then why wasn't that the case with the old car? I'm starting to think the new model has *that* much more power and truly needs the 275s just to hook up, when the old one was perfect with 235s. :-0
What is your new EDD now that you have a VIN? My VIN was assigned today and delivery estimated June 5 - June 14.
That's a fair point. However, if Tesla would simply list the EDD as the *worst case* scenario and not move the date forward and backward randomly without any logical reason, then we could make more informed decisions. I can't imagine someone not on this forum being absolutely confused as to when they'll get their car and when to make specific decisions (finance, trade-in, vacations, etc.).
