Same, I usually get a response within a day and once I get that response they are usually available for some back and forth if I reply to them right away.

If it helps at all I saw a bunch or cars getting prepped for delivery when I was at the factory. I didn’t know where my car was located and wanted to find it to look as much as possible before signing as I was told I had to sign before inspection. Anyway as I walked through the sea of vehicles looking for my vin I noticed a lot of vins in the 32k spectrum. I did not see any 33k vins. I did see a 31k vin. But I was only looking for white cars. I’m not sure what the other colors were sporting. Call and ask when the car was built. They can at least give you the month. And since we are so close to the start
Of august I’m pretty sure it will be a fresh car.

Something I noticed yesterday at the funeral service. When I opened the truck i saw the left side strut has a boot covering the shock. The right side shock is exposed. Is that normal? I can take a photo of that helps explain better
I know we’ve established this but I’m only three days OD behind you with same car other than paint and both NC. My dates haven’t moved in a while but yours gives me hope.
I'm in Virginia Beach, Midnight Silver Metallic w/ black interior, ordered July 4th, and my delivery date just changed to Nov18 - Dec30. So I am not sure what to believe.
Lots of reasons this can happen, too many to list here:
- Someone's financing fell through (rising interest rates, trade in appraisal is lower, etc)
- Someone was out of town and couldn't take delivery
- Someone flinched or changed their mind, happens a lot and not just with Tesla cars
- VIN is created during build, but sometimes parts on a car are found bad during testing while on the assembly line. For example, the touchscreen could have been bad and so the car gets set aside and later sent to a different department to replace whatever bad module so that it doesn't hold up the entire line and that can cause an 'old' VIN to get stuck in the backlog while they fix it for you
- ...and yes, possible that some fascist saw a gap that was 1/16th of an inch off and a small rock chip on the hood and noped out
Not trying to downplay people who truly had build quality issues at delivery and yes, errors can and do happen in mass production (read up on Six Sigma if you'd like to see how difficult mass production at scale can be), but people passing for cosmetic reasons is more rare than the internet leads you to think and many in the Tesla community have psyched themselves out on this and tend to make a much bigger deal about this issue than others. Tesla delivers roughly the same number of cars that they produce every day (almost 3,000 3s and Ys a day) so ~100% of cars are ultimately accepted by a buyer.
Go through your checklist at delivery and do your proper diligence in the lot before accepting, then enjoy your car and don't let overthinking ruin it for you.
Hopefully, that should change to an earlier date.

I have used Vroom twice and Driveway once. Driveway paid the most, but they were sooooooo slow. Took them a month, but paid 6k more than the other offers.
Think it depends on the service center. The only defect in my 2020 M3P was a paint blotch right on the hood. They pointed it out even before I noticed it and said they already had a new hood on order. 2 weeks later they installed a new and freshly painted hood.Hi DNSTommy,
Well said, I couldn't agree with you more. I've come to realize after rejecting 3 Model 3 Performance but seeing some here receive perfect ones that its shear luck that all the stars aligned in Fremont when a Tesla rolls out without issues. They clearly have no final checks in place. I remember posting a link to the Tesla career page here a couple months ago showing their QC position and it only required a HS diploma and paid like $15-17 an hour
On another note......everybody SIT DOWN!!, I accepted Model 3 Performance number 4 todayView attachment 839455. They replace the carbon rear spoiler in a couple weeks, and I'm inclined to leave the small paint bump alone so it doesn't possibly open up a BIG can of worms....meaning repainting the door.
Got the same text yesterday and I have the some EDD but in Minneapolis. Curious who get's theirs's first.

I just got a call from the delivery center and they indicated that my M3P has manufacture date of 8/7 so that is a relief. It’s at the center and if I was in California I could pick it up today. I’m hoping that it’s good to go. I have an appointment on Wednesday morning to get it tinted and wrapped.
Thanks for the advice and I will post how delivery goes.

Let see what Tesla do, i am trying trade in 2021 SR with 4000 miles to the new 2022 I ordered, TESLA Give me $40,500 a slap in the face (they basically said don't want their own car back and their car worth shxt), Driveway and Algo gave $52000 and Carmax last weekend give me $47000, Carvana gave $46500 beside trading in with Tesla that I will save on Sales Tax Credit, nothing else is good when they give $11k under, what a slap in the face for Tesla.

agreed, especially when my trade-in value was $48,000 when it expired in the app on 8/4; i sent my SA my 2 trade-ins and she said she would talk to the trade-in team
Came off my 2 week hold that was placed on my account. Immediately got a new 2 week window which is nice. 8/26-9/7. The agent had said I may have had to start my wait all over again, so it’s nice to see that isn’t true. I’ll update my sig later today.
