Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

[Lncrt]

Well that's the thing. In CT, anything over $50K gets a higher tax bracket and with the trade-in tax credit this will save me over $4K. I am sure I can get $3-4K more than Tesla but then I lose the tax credit. I am going to try and negotiate. They told me KBB value originally and the market for my car is stronger than ever. I don't see why they are undervaluing it so much. It's the principal. I am not unrealistic either my car is immaculate with extremely low miles, almost a full warranty, and it looks better than new after paint correction and quartz coating. They are not even offering me the lowest of the KBB trade in values. At some point I just keep my current car and wait and give the market a year or two and see what the competition does.

Well obviously if it makes more sense to trade it into Tesla for the tax savings. I would have done the same thing. Here in Minnesota it is different. I would have saved over a thousand in taxes if I would have "purchased" it in Wisconsin. Which is less than 20 minutes from me

 

[Not That M3]

I've seen so many people getting updated EDD's moving in all sorts of directions - mostly the wrong direction. I haven't had an update in right at a month. Maybe I'm just lucky - or maybe it just hasn't caught up to me yet. Has anyone else out there that ordered in March not had their EDD updated?

I think it’s random I haven’t had an edd update in awhile and ordered in March. See Sig.

How is everyone communicating with their SA? I replied last week to the “welcome to the Tesla family” text message I received at the time of order and no one has responded.

Email and text. I found that he responds faster by email

SA? I haven't heard from anyone — I didn't even get the “welcome to the Tesla family” text message

I am in MN as well. Which SC are you picking up from?

 

[Sheefo2k]

I am contemplating picking up a 2018 Model S, 100D with 28K miles over this imaginary 22 M3P.

This whole waiting game and lack of communication has really caused the excitement to fizzle out.

Redditors with March orders have started to receive VINs. Also M3LR late feb orders are being assigned. The **** is wrong with this company? There are people from Jan and February without their cars yet.

Where does one get an email address from? I have only received automated emails from Tesla. None seem linked to a person. I also have only received one text the day I ordered. Nothing since then.

Just sold my BMW. Hope we make it to the promised land soon. Don't make me regret this Elon. I loved that BMW.

I didn’t get the text either. Not sure how to go about getting an SA?

I have a weird one...

OD: 3/5
EDD: April
VIN assigned (LR): 4/16
EDD: 4/18
Rejected above due to vacation

VIN2 assigned (LR): 4/22
EDD: 4/25
Rejected again due to vacation

Upgraded to M3P: 4/23**
VIN3 assigned: 4/25
EDD: 5/15 (this is not a reject as SA tells me its not built yet and they dont have exact delivery date yet)

** after trying for weeks to upgrade from LR to P, after multiple employees told me I couldnt change without a pricing sheet update, I finally got someone who knows what's going on over there. Got for $58,990 + black paint + fees n taxes.

Solid black, black interior, no FSD,

You will need to weigh cost savings with the trade in versus the de-valuation that is being seen in the market already. We opted to skip the stress of it all and sell our M3LR ahead of time to Driveway. We could have gotten more elsewhere, but we also didn't have to deal with a month of test drives, tire kickers, etc. So we will make up some of that lost money in both time saved as well as cancelling insurance, no payments, no charning.

I almost bought a 22 M440i Gran Coupe but every dealer wanted a $5K markup. I originally wanted an I4M50 but it was going to be a year wait. Had I known about Teslas horrid and unreliable edd system, I would have went with the I4M50.

Aside from getting my EDD continuously pushed back for my M3P from March delivery now in May, Tesla also reduced my trade-in value on the car I am trading in by $1200, and it's way below even KBB's lowest trade-in value now. I am really starting to feel like they are playing me here.

Sell it to CarMax. They are paying top dollar. I'd NEVER trade a car in, especially to Tesla.

Yeah I had an M240i lease from 2019. What an amazing car. It was the only 6 speed on the entire west coast, and I drove 400 miles to pick it up! Loved the car, but my new commute is around 120 miles round trip, which wasn't really practical. Especially in heavy traffic. Ended up with around 10k equity so thought I'd take that.

I really wish I had signed up for the wait-list or reserved an i4, because I think I'd like it. Didn't realize they'd be out so soon, but now it seems like those have a year long wait too.

Dealer here said i4M50 was like 6 months away if I recall correctly. I could be wrong. I drove the factory i4M50 they had and it was very very impressive. Only concern was charging network. It comes with 2 free years of Electrify America?? Is that right? But I have never seen those anywhere.
