Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

[dalton108]

anyone else with new m3P get weird vibration feel and slight buzzing noise while stopped???...is this the new heat pump activating?...anyone else???

Yes. Often. In my car its a deep "growl" seems to be related to the heat pump. I don't know if it's supposed to be normal or not but while I'm sure I should be annoyed, I kind of like it. It's almost like the car is alive and angry.

I can also say that my wife's model y also has the octovalve heat pump and does not exhibit the same behavior. So, this could very well be an issue. Balancing? Bearings? IDK.

Also, since I'm here, Pearl has largely reached her final form. Windows tinted and wheels powder-coated gloss black. I think the uberturbines should come this way from the factory at least as an option. Have a look.

I was considering powdercoating the ubers but was concerned that the center caps were plastic. Im assuming that they are also metal and you were able to get them also powdercoated?

No. They are plastic so they had to be painted separately. Just glossy black spray paint.

Picked up my car from the service center today:

Good news: they did a great job fixing the dent that it was delivered with!
Bad news: they forgot to put the spoiler back on my car

Follow-up appointment to get it fixed in 2 weeks, ha ha. /facepalm

Guess I have a sleeper M3P for now.

Anyone have insights as to when we can expect Model 3 deliveries if we ordered a week ago?

March. If I’m playing the guessing game, being in IL you would take delivery somewhere around March 20.

my financing offer expires March 22nd and am really hoping I receive my model 3 by then

best of luck - the waiting game is the hardest part. Its totally worth the wait though.

Thanks! Everyday feels like an eternity haha

You ordered last week, Some of us got the shaft and have been waiting since October. You'll find alot of irritated customers waiting, especially when Sales Advisors screwed the pooch on matching cars to existing orders.

Oof I can’t imagine how awful that must feel.

If they hadn’t pulled my credit and asked me to apply for the loan I wouldn’t be as anxious to get it before March 22nd, but my credit score took a small hit and I won’t get that same rate again.

 

[parisruns]

Anyone thinking of swapping the 235 section tires to 245's to have a lesser stretched set-up and protect the rim?

If it’s through Tesla and your financing expired, the second pull will be a soft pull. It shouldn’t change your rate from before.

Oh really? How is that possible?

Order placed: 1/23/2021
Estimated Delivery: March 13 - March 31
Model 3 Performance
Blue Metallic/Black Interior

They will still have your application from the initial hard pull. If it already expired, then they’ll just do a soft pull to make sure nothing significant has changed and reapply the current terms on the “new” offer. Mine should be expiring in a few days since I applied back in November.

I’m so relieved to hear that! Any chance you could ping me with your results when you go to reapply for your financing?

My SA got back to me and said the service team would install my roof rack and aftermarket rims/tires for free and he is giving me a discount code for the online shop as comp for the delay. Not much, but I was expecting absolutely nothing from Tesla so good enough.

PS - nice name!

I had one of the orders that was delayed till March and had sold my car in anticipation of a December delivery. It’s up to the individual store to do something. Sa and store manager felt bad I guess
