Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

Do you even sleep?
But yes it’s super depressing. In past 5-6 days we have had like 7 VINs compared to nearly 80-90 VINs last week.
Something is up lol.
I think the earlier theory of getting some of the far away early adopters taken care of and then as the quarter wraps up they are going to bombard the west coast for rapid deliveries is playing out. That’s four very similar EDD changes, all California orders. It’s going down before June is up. I feel it in my plums.
I can't decide if I like this better or the original center cap. What do you guys think?
Oh, BTW I took the wheels off to remove the aero inserts and the lug nut torque on every lug nut was between 60 and 80 lb/ft from the factory. Hmm.

The more I see these wheels without the covers, the more I think they look best with them installed. Just too open without them.

Doing things your mom told you not to since 1980.
Today my EDD went from June 25-30 to June 29-30. The five day window was one of the shortest I’d seen, but now a one day window… why must Tesla tease me so much?!!! Hurry up and send me my VIN# already

Doesn't look like there flooded with M3 to reduce output.
There pushing the non performance with the 1.9% @ 36 mo.
Wonder if they are Panasonic 2170 constrained? Roomer said they were stockpiling them prior to M3P launch.
Maybe suspension or motor components. Maybe someone dumped out all the KAF and they are waiting on Mobile.

Good to know.
Can you track all ships leaving China. ? I assume you’re tracking the ones to AUS.

It's just an el-cheapo from Amazon that I got for my 2021. Fits OK on the 2024. They're not available anymore but here's the listing if you are curious...

I understood you can’t check torque when loosening. Only tightening. ….
Do torque wrenches work accurately in reverse ?

Maybe EDD stands for Erectile Dysfunction Date.
If that's the case, keep pushing them out . . . . . . .

I go back and forth. Half of me says they are too open and I see more brake rotor than wheel. The other half says it looks cool that way. One thing that would probably encourage me to keep them off is that it removes 4 lbs of unsprung weight. Might give me a couple hundredths in the 1/4 mile.
I've never had any trouble measuring while loosening. I have a manual torque wrench that has a scale on it and the needle points to a number on the scale based on how far the arm bends. I did tighten a couple that were factory installed with my better torque wrench that was set to 129 lb/ft and the nuts turned substantially before it clicked. I probably got 1/8 of a turn or a little more before it clicked. Meaning they were loose.
Just us Aussies banding together sleuthing. Until they are inbound to a Aussie port it can be hard to confirm.
I totally agree. Especially with the firmware/EPA delay I’m sure that led to a surplus of M3P, but nearly 10x a surplus? I don’t think so. ~10 vins for an entire week is stupidly low. They are never going to crank out all these orders at that pace. Let’s just hope it picks back up.Doesn't look like there flooded with M3 to reduce output.
