Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

I (finally) ordered my blue/black M3P on 12/16 as they were estimating a February 2022 delivery on the website. I was surprised to receive an e-mail the next day (12/17) asking me to click on "accept and proceed" in my online account with an EDD of 12/24 - 12/31 along with a text message that a VIN had been assigned to me.

I ended up calling Tesla (888-518-3752) and putting my order on hold as I won't be ready for delivery until mid-January at the earliest due to the holidays.
Shhh there’s a few people on here that are going to hang themselves reading this lol

Well, I didn't accept it so hopefully it moved to the next in line... And if it makes everyone feel better, a friend of mine said it could have been a rejected car with issues. 😄

I plan to remove my hold in early January, and then we'll see how quickly the next car gets assigned to me.
 
Couldn't sleep last night. Felt like a kid on Xmas eve... Woke up to bae in the driveway! 😍

Half launched her and holy smokes.

Yes, there's panel gap issues. Mostly minor, but overall ok. Few like the frunk and driver side windows will definitely need service.

Off to the shop for PPF and tint!

If you look for problems you’ll always find them. Car looks great!
 
Yeah personally I wouldn't even care to get those panel gaps serviced. Unless its egregious or causes issues opening/closing I'm fine with minor cosmetic defects.

This thread is just giving me pain now. VINs left and right while i'm out here with my delivery EDD pushed into next month.
Still no VIN here and I ordered two weeks before you, so I feel your angst. Then again, my EDD is still this year (12/24 - 12/31), but we'll see. I suspect they're pushing to deliver as many units as possible before year's end, regardless of what Elon told the company a few weeks back.

Very different than my experience a year ago when I got my Model Y within a week of ordering. Maybe the waiting will make it all the sweeter when it finally arrives 🤷
 
My order was just switched to a home delivery! Same day the car is already passing Castaic right now. I really do want to pick it up tomorrow though.
How do you know it is passing Castaic? Wed will come quicker than you think. You are in for an experience if you have never owned a Tesla before. Best machine on the road IMO by a wide margin after owning a 2018 M3 AWD for three years (Sold it to buy the performance)

Picked mine up today. No issues. App accepted my ACH payment no problem (I was worried there was a transfer amount limit on there, but it worked fine).

I could have been in and out in 10 minutes if I wanted to, but I really looked things over and there was only one scuff on the whole car. I'll buff it out myself. Rest of the car is perfect.

congrats, 12/22 is a great day, thats my scheduled delivery date in NY, good luck to all….

Somehow the representative from the call center knew where in transit the truck was located and he let me know when I briefly asked during my call to ask about loan information, the car is definitely already at the delivery center now for me but I’m just going to wait till Wednesday for them to bring it!
