Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

[Keith Ma]

There something serious going on because I had a vin since April 28. Car still not available to pickup so I don’t know what to say at this point.

when did you order yours?

For anybody that's brought in an old license plate from the car they sold, does the $250 registration fee get removed from the Tesla price since you're not buying new plates?

I was able to set it up for a plate transfer when I ordered it and it lowered the registration fee. Note where I am in IL there are special EV plates which normally have a higher than normal registration fee, and regular plates cannot be transferred. It varies in each state.

I'm in the same boat as you still except I haven't gotten a call from SA.

Went to the Tesla delivery center today to drop off my existing license plates since they need it ahead of the delivery day. My car arrived today.

Here it is in all its bug splatter glory

Congrats! Post some pics once they detail it.

Thanks. Will do! My delivery is this coming Thursday.

So, I did take delivery today. I apologize for no photos yet.

It was stupid hot and muggy. By the time I got done with the exterior inspection, I just wanted to get out of there.

There were two minor issues and two more major issues (still nothing terrible).

The lights in both front and back were not symmetrical as far as how they sat in their sockets. One side came out a little further than the other under the light assembly. It was really only noticeable when running your finger around them, so I gave it a pass.

There were a couple places with very light scratches that I'm sure my PPF guy will buff out prior to installation of the wrap. So, I'm not worried about those.

On the driver's door there is what looks like a small hair or fiber under the clear coat or maybe even under a layer of paint. I can still see it when looking right at it. I'm going to bring it up to the PPF guy and see what he can do. Maybe a little sanding might get it out.

There is a plastic cover piece over the seat belt assembly on the driver's side rear that is not sitting where it needs to be. It is popped up enough you can see the crack under it. The other side is perfectly fitted. I'm going to attempt to push this down when I get the car back. If that doesn't work, I'll put in a service request.

Other than those few things, the rest of the car looked really good. I'm very particular, so if I say it was overall good, it is.

I promise pictures once I get it back from the PPF and tint shops.

Congrats Jesse! Look forward to the pictures. That reminds me, I need to make an appointment to get my windows tinted.

Checked app over weekend and noticed a change. I got really excited until I realized my 60 day loan approval had expired. Switched to cash for now. Hopefully I'll get a VIN within the next week or so.

Hi, What 888 number did you call? I have never once reached a human being at Tesla via phone. Also, what option # might you have selected to get a real live human?

Thanks a ton

888-518-3752 and select option 1 for vehicles then option 2 for delivery.

Crazy, the push and incentives to move to EV and be green, but some greedy states enforce higher fees for them.....way to go Illinois

And Utah. EVs get have to pay double what ICE does during licensing (to help counter the lack of gas tax, which is fair I guess) and they are trying to get it doubled again.

mine was switched automatically once the offer expired and they said changing it won't affect edd

Hilariously Feb 12th

My OD also was 2/12. STILL NO VIN!!

 

[Young Phenom]

My OD also was 2/12. STILL NO VIN!!

That is absurd considering we were quoted a March delivery.

Exactly!. Funny, On Saturday, my EDD window was Nov 24-Jan 12. On Sunday, it changed to May 20-Jun 3. What gives? I wonder if they keep changing like this to keep me from cancelling my order and going out on the secondary market?

Crazy. I think they are way more behind than they care to admit.
