Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

[89138]

Two week EDD window pushed back again today, by 5 days all around.

 

[Tony_YYZ]

Friend of mine went to the local showroom to find out about his SR+ order that he had since October and keeps getting his EDD pushed out over the last 6 months.

He asked about my Performance order for me while he was there and they told him that I’ll get my car in my current two week window or sooner based on what they were seeing. They said they were seeing Performance deliveries moving up in bulk on their system.

Taking it with a grain of salt and all that but hopefully the EDD journey is nearing an end.

Imagine getting a VIN and a car in the same month!! You west coasters have it made!

VIN received earlier this AM, Delivery scheduled for tomorrow. This progressed faster than I had anticipated.

We do have it good, not gonna lie. However, we have ridiculous housing costs, sky high fuel prices, outrages grocery prices, and a *sugar* government.. We are paying for the great weather, lifestyle, and access to Tesla deliveries.. lol...

I don't think you can just show up with a check. You have to pay from your bank to Tesla using their online Plaid system (at least that I was what I had to do).

Incorrect. You can pay with certified bank check(s).

I will be paying with multiple checks myself. No way am I paying for a car sight unseen. Nope. Not gonna happen...

Ive heard of some BS about double charging on their end. Im paying half, i would hate to have issues with that shizz later. I figured cash or check would avoid a headache.

Who do we make the checks to?

Tesla Inc? In the note section put the VIN number?

To be clear, I am not that concerned about getting the fancy “Extr3me M4ximum H4rdness Triple Deep Gl0ss” coatings. I like to wash and wax my cars somewhat regularly so I bought some hybrid wax / ceramic stuff from the store that reviews indicate is probably closer to a high-end wax than what we really think of as a “ceramic coating.”

Ceramic coating works wonders. I coated my raptor 2 years ago and its still holding strong, nothing sticks including bugs and washing is a breeze.

I don't want to give Plaid(tesla third party financial processing co) my user name and password to my bank account for the down payment. I plan to bring a cashiers check but have to check with my SA first.

Anyone know what Tesla is giving out for trade in values right now? I have a 2020 m3p with 20k miles and FSD

$19,900 TOP dollar

Don't trade in.......Carmax or sell outright

Today at 10:05 PDT, I got a text from the Tesla Delivery Center saying a VIN had been assigned.View attachment 800878

I've schedule pick up for tomorrow around noon. I promise I will update the group with my findings on charger, matrix headlights, etc.. Additionally, I won't forget you all.. You have been my sincere comic and stress relief! If it wasn't for this group i'm not sure i'd still be going down this path. So thank you all.

Stand by for photos!!

They offered $44k for my 2020 with 14k miles and no FSD. I got quotes from 6 other places and Tesla was by far the lowest. I sold it for $54k to DriveO.

 

[Gulfcoaster]

How about cash? I was thinking of showing up with a duffle bag full of cash in exchange for the car

Pay them in Pennies...It's tender cash, they can't refuse it. Should take them as long to count it as it takes us to see a car

My EDD changed again lol

Was 5/14-5/17

Now 5/6-5/12

Haven't heard a peep from Tesla. I texted the generic number when you get your welcome to Tesla text and nothing back.

Just got off the phone with the service center. My car arrived there yesterday as I said earlier in the thread but was on "hold" waiting on the new inverter. Part won't be there for 7-10 days and he said it's most likely 10 days and could possibly get pushed out beyond that. He said when they actually get the part they can install it in 30 minutes so then he will schedule all the cars he has to do them on within 48 hours of receiving them.

I asked if it's such a simple fix why not go ahead and deliver the cars and then schedule installation at a later date and I forget why he said Tesla wouldn't let them. Sigh.....


What is the story with the inverter anyways? He told me something about the new superchargers being installed soon(or already being installed) will charge much faster but they have to have the new inverter.

First time I’m hearing that one. Sounds suspicious.

the superchargers? i'm not sure but some part of it he said was supposed to be hush hush and he shouldn't even probably tell me but he wanted to tell me for full transparency.

where is your service center? Why will the parts not be there for 10 days, meanwhile the factory is shipping cars with them? What kind of BS is that?
