Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

[jessepotter]

I spent the past few days trying to find a decently priced used Plaid. I just can't swing it, it is wayyy outside my price range. So, i will have to slum it in the M3P...

We're a single income family until my wife graduates from school, so there is no way I can swing it right now. I'm sure my wife doesn't want to eat ramen for half our meals. I'll have to "settle" for the poor man's Plaid.

Edit: I also imagine the M3P handles a bit better in the curves, but I'm unsure of that. Maybe just trying to make myself feel better.

The M3P should handle better.

Most reviewers prefer the overall dynamics of the 3P. For driving of course. If you want to win a drag race the Plaid will undoubtedly do that against everything.

The plaid has the advantage of being able to perform even at lower SOC.

What we really need is a M3P Plaid. 0-60 in 2.5 and is able to perform at all SOC. I'd pay 10k more for that.

I’d honestly pay 10k for the same peak power but with a flatter power curve like the Plaid, even if just to 100mph. That way we aren’t fully asking for a new power train, just new power delivery hardware.

Finally received my first EDD update. MSM black no FSD
OD 2/12
EDD1 (2/13) 4/17 - 5/15
EDD2 (4/18) 5/1 - 5/15
Hope this is a good sign!

I have been at the two week window for sometime. I got excited too until it was delayed further on my first day of EDD.

I thought about the economics of Tesla having a M3 or MY Plaid and I think it would cannibalize the MS and MX Plaids. People who must have the fastest will spend the $120k+.

Let us know what happens! I guess I need to lower my expectations.

So the Plaid doesn't drop off with lower SOC like the M3P does? I agree I wish the M3P wasn't such a drastic drop when you get down to 60%ish and lower SOC.

I'm on the first day of my 30 day delivery window (4/18 -5/16), still no update as of this morning. I'm expecting it to get pushed back sometime this week to early May with a 14 day delivery window.

According to reviewers no it does not drastically drop off.

I received my first trade in text. Not sure if it really means anything in the grand scheme of things or what that means for delivery, if anything.

EDD is 4/29-5/11

 

[Nikeugden]

Got it. I had june 9-jul14 last week. I checked today and it switch to jun 5-jul10

[Nikeugden]

Are there ever random updates on the delivery date or is it the same approx time every day?

I got an update this morning. From jun 2 -jul 14 to jun 2-jul 10 lol. I check the app obsessively

Expect your EDD window to move backwards tomorrow. Mine went from 4/12-5/10 to 4/26-5/24 on the 2nd day of my 30 day window.

A shrinking window, text about trade in etc. are all signs that a VIN isn’t far away from what I can tell.

This is usually a good sign! It should mean you’re close to getting your VIN

I've been driving my 2004 Subaru for 18 years, so waiting a couple weeks longer shouldn't be a problem, but this is killing me.

Is there a certain time during the day when EDD updates are sent out/posted?
