Check your delivery email. Does it say?

Weird thing is email does not give the address.

Elon Musk says Tesla Model 3 will include ‘free long-distance charging’

You got me on that one.

So you just put the Fremont Zip as your delivery zip during the purchasing process? And they don't care that you're from OC?

Do you mind me asking how you're getting up there?

 

[Bradleybang]

Hi Bradley, just to be clear, you got the car today, right?

Yep! I bought it for my business partner. It's now in Lafayette, CA

Yea it is the delivery hub

I just sent my DS an email advising they add the address in the delivery email.

I only knew about it because of this forum. Prior owners did pick up at the factory, if not forum readers, would be detoured after checking in at the factory.

 

[GasDoc]

any chance you can say what came with the car? did you by chance have 2 charging cables? was it 2 adapters as well (5-15, 14-50)? etc.

They included this new style charger with both 110 V plug and NEMA 14-50

...this is why one should invest in solar. My system had paid for itself in less than 10 years. My power could be considered free now.

I was quoting for SuperCharging, which is typically on the road away from your home's solar panels.

At home, I pay about half what Tesla charges, so I have no incentive to use SuperChargers unless I have to.

Thanks! I was really hoping they'd include two cables for any early reservations as a something special. Guess no.

Wow, they're ramping up very quickly. Get as many cars out before EOY. Congrats. What a difference compared to a couple of weeks ago!

XMas eve day?

That's interesting - I got the call a day before you, but my car won't be ready until the day after XMas. (Fremont delivery, too) And, I was in the first batch of configurers. Clearly some cars are ready sooner than others.

Would be interesting to know the back story on readiness. Almost certainly all of the cars being ready now were produced a while ago. Cars are not being delivered in VIN order at all, and now not even the order of configuration. It seems like some combination of waiting for one thing (could be a part, could be a software release), and then the floodgates opened, but each car has to get through QA so some are ready sooner than others even though they were matched up with people in a different order.

They charge for SuperCharging from the outset. No electricity included with car other than what's in the battery.

??? What's with the 400kWh that were supposed to be included per year as per Tesla themselves?

I have a theory that it depends on how deep your car is parked in the lot making it harder to extricate. In other words "Go out there and grab the first car you can." And they come back with "VIN # xxxx is easy to get to" So - you're next!!

This! Simple and probably correct.

I just couldn't see them jockeying a dozen cars to get to one.

I just couldn't see them jockeying a dozen cars to get to one.

I have the feeling they stack the cars in rows with the first build at he front of the row and the last build at the back of the row. Then they make the deliveries by row so that cars at the front will be FIFO and the cars at the back of the row will be LIFO. And that is how each row is configured and they clear out row by row. That would account for the the odd schedule for deliveries by date of invitation. Your delivery will be based on the luck of the draw rather than your configuration date and would also explain the juxtaposition of VIN's. Clearing one row at a time allows them to vacate a complete row for new builds and again. it will be older builds at the front and newer builds at the rear.

 

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

You got me on that one.

It's OK, it was always in flux.

There's been thoughts of a joining fee, an annual allowance, an initial allowance, and some free long-distance.

But it's just going to be no joining fee, and pay-as-you-go. Probably, maybe.

I believe that 'allowance' is for S/X owners that don't use a referral code, sadly.

This was my understanding too. At no point was such a formal commitment made for the 3.
