Took the wife out for some taco's tonight. I talked her ear off about all the crazy stuff the car can do. Mentioned to her that is was way faster than my Hellcat. She didn't believe me. I was like "OK" and changed the subject. About 10 mins later we were waiting at a red light. I told her I would be at 60mph before we get through the intersection. At the moment I spoke the last word of the sentence the light turned green and I stomped on it. Let's just say the wife scream"F^&" and got slammed back in her seat. She was not very happy and I giggle all the way to the taco shop. When we were done eating she looked at me and said lets take the highway home and show me what this thing can do. What a great night!!!

Man, that black looks so good. I was on the fence and went MSM but seeing this made me a bit jealous. All these pics being posted is so good to see!View attachment 645443
Haven’t had a chance to take to many pictures, but the day has come! Car was dropped off, and my trade in was driven off. Pretty quick transaction. Going over the car I noticed a gap on one side of the spoiler where it mounts to the car, a rock chip in under the front bumper, and a scratch on top of one of the tail lights which is barely noticeable. Looking at the cars data, looks like the guy dropping it off punched it during the trip. Not to happy about that, but it is what it is.

Yeah mine said that for 3 days. Only to get a phone to tell me I should expect delivery sometime between the 26-31st. Basicly waiting 3 months knowing they wouldn't build or deliver the car till end of the quarter Should of just waited. They should get better at this over time.Exciting to see this on my account
FYI for those with a 914xxx VIN, an update seems to have been pushed for all of us. We’re now on 2021.4.12.

Thank you for sharing this story Eddie, you made me laugh, and remember. About 15 years ago I picked up a 2006 Mustang GT. My Wife hated that I got the car in the first place, but one night we went to dinner and she agreed to ride in it (only because it was new).
Coming home, we pulled onto the service road and I punched it. Car got a little sideways but straightened out and we took off. She was SUPER PISSED, it scared the crap out of her and she never rode in the car again, I'm not kidding.
Fast forward to two days ago and my 3 second Model 3 (vs. 5 second Mustang). I drove like an old fart. Super smooth and slow. Maybe a little juice pulling out on the road but easy does it. If I punched it she's probably die on the spot, so going to avoid (at least for now).

I took my dad out for a ride in my MX 90D and stomped it over and over again. He's in his 70s and after 3 or 4 runs he was like "ok ok, you've proved your point". LOL. My kids were in the back seat and screaming/laughing the whole time.

where are you located? im in Nor cal, east bay area.Yeah but I have a delivery scheduled this Saturday
I got the text yesterday that my delivery date is the 28th but I have to move it to the 29th due to working that night!! I'm pumped!! VIN 914XXX that MSM with black interior! Ordered 2/18/21 with an estimated 3-6 week delivery time.
I wish there was tracking on location of the cars similar to monitoring packages on FedEx. My SA said it is scheduled to arrive on 3/28 and I can pick up on 3/30. However, I want to see where it is... Is it on the train? Is it in the rain? Did it stop here? Did it go there?

Ok, don't hate me - not my fault.
I ordered a M3P ten days ago and recently got a vin and appointment to pickup next week. I am in south Florida.
When I ordered it, the advisor said there is a chance you get into the March production / delivery, but more likely June.
I will believe it when I see it.
That is the scoop.

I think the Oct-Dec orders firing squad is too busy driving their new cars to care.Ok, don't hate me - not my fault.

Got a call just now that my delivery will happen tomorrow. My dashboard still says 12:01 am. Covert operation possibly.
So nice to see the post-delivery pictures and great stories everyone is having. Much better than the doom and gloom we all had about a week ago! Especially happy for those that have been waiting since end of last year like Eddie and others. Tesla definitely needs to improve the wait and delivery process, but there's no denying they nailed the car driving experience, which is what counts.
Looking forward to my delivery on Sunday 3/21.
For those that are still waiting for VINs/delivery schedule, there are still many days left in March! I am hopeful most if not all of us will be enjoying our new M3Ps come beginning of April.
Keep the pictures coming!
