Model 3 RWD pre delivery hangout

[thetallpaul]

When did you order?

I’m in a similar boat, driving sisters Nissan Note, but at 6’6”” tall it’s killing me, but better than walking

6' 4.5" (the .5" is very important). Test drives always start with a comfort/room test. The space in the M3 was more than enough for me, and the kids can still fit in the back easily.
Currently sharing my wife's Nissan Juke. It's OK if I'm driving, but as a passenger my head is in the sunroof at a tilt.

Once worked with a guy who was 6' 10". Our works garage modified the seat rails on a Nissan Primera so that his seat would go back far enough. No-one was sitting behind him! He did have headroom, which surprised me.

Still haven't told the kids what's coming, and can't wait to see their reactions. Current driving game is Count the Tesla's and the 6yo is winning.

Well done you does that mean its on its way?

 

[Algeron45]

Was wondering if anyone has been waiting longer than 35 weeks?

 

[LoneRanger]

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a hidden VIN!

Congrats Lone Ranger

I’m hoping mine isn’t far behind… ordered 2 weeks before you same spec

 

[M3UK]

Congrats, some positive news finally

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a hidden VIN!

Ordered same spec week or so before you too, I'm jealous congrats! Assuming you're also a Trafford Centre pick up? I wonder if you've got lucky with a cancellation or there are other hidden vins imminent

I am hoping it is the NEC in Birmingham, Bodders ... trying to call Tesla to see when and where. The car must be on Glovis Sunrise, which gets into Southampton on the 15th.

Wow you got me… I’m 6’3

I was worried before test driving the M3 that I would be too tall

How did you find it?

I'm 6'4, space is brilliant in the front although my head touches the glass except middle seat when I sit in the back!

Problem resolved for my 6’6”, I ain’t going anywhere near the back seats

With my driving position I can (uncomfortably) sit behind myself in terms of leg room due to the flat floor - but knees touch the seat and need to do quite a bit of manspreading..
Useful to know if you've got others around 6' to get in the back - I had in laws family in back who are all 6'-6'2 and they actually fit behind me with a teeny gap for headroom!

Collecting the voiture on the 29th September in Birmingham at the NEC … all confirmed! Hope things work out for others too!

So jealous! I can imagine how excited you are.

Mine is still showing 25th Nov - 09th Jan already for more than a month, never changed in the meantime.
Ordered 14th of May (RWD/white/white/aero).

Weird thing is that I can only see the EDD through the website when I go on my account - nothing shown in the app!

Anyone else having the same problem with the EDD not showing in the Tesla app?

No pal. I’m showing 29/11-13/01. Order 29/6, been that way since first week July and shows in the App

As the VIN allocation is so close to the end of the quarter, I am thinking that this is a car that someone has deferred ownership of, or has said that they no longer want. The only option I had for collection was on the 29th, which is reeeeeeaaaally close to the end of the quarter. Like you say though bi.angel, I am super excited. I kept on having to pinch myself! And the missus!

I get that sometimes force closing the app fixes it

great news pal

Reckon I’ll be the only one left on here on Xmas day. At least I’ll be able to play with my wall connector, with sweet FA to plug it in to

Exactly, @LoneRanger don’t abandon us poor souls that are still waiting and hoping for a delivery soon Let us know your thoughts and how you find it. I didn’t manage to get a test drive in the RWD, just had one in the LR, so no idea what to expect with performance and driving experience in general
Heard it’s a bit slower till 20mph, then acceleration kicks is bad and pushes you back in the seat lol

I get that sometimes force closing the app fixes it

Tried that, also deleting and re-installing the app, but nothing sent an email to support, let’s see..
