Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room
- Thread starter GreenHokie
- Start date
yes as added anecdotal evidence, i changed back to financing with a third party yesterday and filled in who i was going to go with (hadn’t even applied yet). i woke up to a VIN this morning. so as you said, money is money as long as your steps are complete, it has no bearing on delivery date.
VIN assigned, White/Black, San Diego, 4/25 order date, EDD Jun 19-25
News about the LR being tax credit eligible is great. Hopefully clears the queue for M3P as the buyers optimizing for the tax credit switch their orders out.
Not gonna lie, I am also considering it. Another EDD delay and I might do it.

Spoke too soon. Received a text stating the vehicle is delayed in transit and delivery will be pushed back 1 day.
holy cow this makes my decision much harder…
edit: after some thought, i think that the 45% faster acceleration, sport seats, and adaptive suspension is worth the extra $5.5k(13%) in my case ($46.5k vs $41k)

Went to local delivery center this morning and they said my cart is expected to get there early next week! Getting excited but also nervous about it getting delayed due to damage during transport ha.
Is there a recommended car wash brand of products that most of you guys use? I have heard chemical guys is quality product. I have never had a Tesla so wasn't sure whats the best stuff to use to clean the seats/interior/exterior/rims.
Are there any "must haves" that I should get prior to picking up my car? So far I have:
-All weather car mats
-charger installed
-Plastic pry tool to take off aero caps
-I was going to get screen protectors, but then someone pointed out that the user manual recommends AGAINST using screen protectors, so I canceled that

Still, at least you’re one step closer! Thanks and congrats!
Someone above said they’re a delay away from switching to the LR now that it qualifies for the tax credit. Maaaaaaaaaaaaan the LR looking real juicy now and I’m sure I’d be able to get it TODAY.
I'm kinda thinking about it. Now that the LR has the credit too, I am basically paying $7,500 extra (the M3P) for a faster vehicle, bigger but less efficient wheels, and mildly different front and rear styling. I don't know if $7500 (+ more for replacement tires, more for power consumption) is worth it since this is just a commuter vehicle for me. End of the day I'll probably keep it because I think it looks better than the basic LR.

I've always had FOMO for not getting the Performance 3 back in 2018 so I am going to stick to my current order.
So... what did they do? Put the Panasonic battery in the LR now?
I have no regrets. I did, however, regret not getting the P when I got my 2021 LR. And I even got the boost for the LR which makes the acceleration difference negligible... and still wished the whole time I had gotten the P.

With our luck it will just mean they move more lines to the M3LR and we end up waiting longer.
I already told the wife but she has a MYP so I think I'm safe.
ICE car manufacturers lobbied to get the rules relaxed so they could get the tax credit on their EV offerings. 3LR just happens to benefit.
Edit: Even if I could get the LR delivered now, I'd still wait for the P. Those performance seats are nice even if one won't use the extra acceleration.

It's a car, whatever quality shampoo for the paint and interior cleaner will be fine. I do use some Chemical Guys stuff but I also use other products too. The screen protector thing is a bit of a head scratcher. I have not experienced any issues, ghost touches, whatever in the 3 years of using one. I put one on as soon as I got my car home.
I use one in my wife's y without issue as well. I have a matte one that reduces reflections.
I have personally touched the hearts of no less than 5 complete strangers, one who pulled up next to me at a stoplight and started singing “This was a triumph…”Maybe if I give a little smile here and there out to the world, the world is just a little better. But beyond that, eff it I like the way it looks
I hate this position you're in. I live in the south end of Columbus Ohio and no matter which way I leave town to head to work I have to drive past a literal gravel pit with dump trucks and uncovered loads. It's such a shame. Even with PPF i picked up 5 to 6 rock chips thru the PPF plus at least ten windshield chips, within the last 2 years owning my model S.
It looks like some January highland orders still don't have VINs. The M3LR now qualifies for the EV incentive federal rebate, which should boost sales quite a bit. We shall see how this plays out with M3P deliveries and delays. A lot of the 6/20 - 6/30 EDDs are approaching their end of quarter dates. It'll be interesting how Q3 will play out.
