I actually thought one fell a few days ago. I feared damaging my S5 before I can sell it. It does worry me when my kids or dog is out there. They have to touch everything and he has to put his nose on everything. I'll probably end up parking in the middle before you know it.

I get that, but do you REALLY want to test that argument? That’s basically what it came down to for me.
You can, that's how you do it, back seat and the 12V battery. The car is most certainly dead at that point.

In the YT videos the guy tried that and the car still turned on but threw up a bunch of errors.
He talks about it around 4:50 on this video
He did it wrong. The correct order is:
- Turn off from the Center Screen
- Disconnect the negative lead from the 12V battery
- Disconnect the electrical harness from the HV controller connection (under the rear seat). You'll hear the contactor clunk open.
- Wait 2 minutes for the system to fully discharge.
This is the abbreviated version from the M3 Service Manual.
Hi all! I’ve been stalking this thread while waiting for my M3P, and I got some bad news two days ago. I had a delivery appointment scheduled for today at 5pm, VIN assigned, insurance set up, etc. and two days ago the VIN disappeared from my account and it switched to an estimated delivery date. Turns out since I’m on the east coast, they yanked my VIN and sold the car to someone closer to Fremont.
I’m super sad to not get the car, but even worse I now have to figure out transportation until another car gets built and assigned to me. Any suggestions? Also is this a common occurrence?

What a bummer! Did someone call you or your delivery date just vanished?
The first time I’d heard of this was the post a few pages back. I think is such a low-ball move for Tesla to do. They have to realize people have made significant changes in their lives based around these delivery dates, like selling your current car! And all this for what end? To maximize quarterly numbers? If I were you I’d at least be calling and complaining although I can’t imagine any real change will result. There is a non-zero chance this same thing will happen to me since I have a (already moved once) delivery date of the 29th. If it does, I’ll seriously considering cancelling because I would feel pretty jaded on the brand. Of course my garage full of wheels, tires and suspensions would then be homeless.

Not only did they not call me, they yanked the VIN in the app and literally ghosted me for a day and a half. They were very responsive via text until this happened, then suddenly I got no response for a day and a half and then my first call to them was hung up after waiting for 30 minutes on hold. Once I finally got in touch with them they said their text system was down and apologized, then explained that because of end of quarter they couldn’t get my car here in time and had to sell it to someone closer to the factory.
You are correct that I made life changes in preparation for the vehicle delivery and now I’m stuck trying to figure out my situation with no estimate of how long I might be waiting. I really want this car but I’m super disappointed in how this was handled.
I did get a call from the local showroom that was helping me after I complained quite a bit to Tesla corporate on the phone, and they told me they’d be on the lookout and had two MYP that might get unmatched today. When I called they said both owners decided to accept delivery and I am out of luck.
Also I forgot to include my order info… white with black interior, no FSD, OD 5/27. Original EDD 7/25-8/29, 2nd EDD 6/23-7/7, 3rd EDD 6/24-7/7, delivery appointment 6/27 5pm.
Hi everyone. Sold my 2020 GMC Sierra 1500 AT4 with the 3.0L duramax. I didn't sell it because of fuel costs, I was just getting tired of daily driving a truck to work. I tend to go through vehicles every 2 or so years and I always get a truck. In the meantime i've been driving my off road toy, 2020 Rubicon. Again, not really a fun dd to ME. I know I wanted something performance. I could get another vette but I wouldn't want to dd that. So i decided to go with electric. I love the instant power and the performance! After dealing with chevy, ford and kia, I got so SICK of their games, price gouging and adding thousands of dollars of high profit crap!!!! Also seeing used prices higher than new!!! So while I was on break the other night at work, I went online and ordered myself a Tesla M3 performance, red with the white interior. Initial scheduled delivery is jun-aug. All other trim levels were sept-dec. I've been watching all the videos over and over. I can't wait for this car to arrive!!!!! 1st thing I want to do is add the center display. Now comes the part where I have no patience for whatsoever, WAITING!!! LOL Glad to be part of the forum and Tesla group!!

Awesome! And congrats! I got the same color/int combo. It’s beautiful. You’ll love it #TeamRed
11 days after loan approval and I still have not received my check from PenFed CU. Nobody knows where it is and it was only coming from Oregon to CA. They apparently also sent the check via standard mail without any tracking. Has caused me to move back my delivery date twice and now I’m likely going to get pushed back to next quarter.
Absolutely awful experience dealing with them. For those of you who have not yet decided on a financing option I would urge you to NOT use PenFed.

Beautiful! Although it does confirm that I need to get my car tinted the same day I take delivery.
Congrats! Looking forward to seeing you in the Bay Area too lol. Don't see many red with white interior.

To be fair, SA's don't know much. Your best bet is to monitor inventory as it comes in and snap up a match. Whether what SA's say is true or not, the reality is M3/P's are being shipped and declined, or buyers fall through every day, so instead of waiting you can get "lucky" if you monitor...

When Tesla delivery goes smooth, the whole world should be this way. Its all puppies and kittens. When it doesn't, it is really off the charts bad for a $60,000 purchase. You just hope you get the 1st one. I think most get the 1st one.
Stealerships suck, but at least I can call Mike on his cell and get some info. I got ghosted on my model Y Tesla for 2 weeks. Fingers crossed for this one.
