We took delivery of our Model 3 on Friday, July 13th (yup!) and have been enjoying it ever since. I plan to use this thread to share some of our experiences, thoughts, etc, including but not limited to:
First, the timeline:
I waited in line in Minneapolis to reserve on day 1. I bought 2 reservations, and cancelled one in mid-2017.
I received my invitation to configure in late March 2018.
I placed my initial order on April 4th, 2018.
I changed my order (color) on May 6th, 2018.
We took delivery on July 13th, 2018.
14 weeks 2 days from order to delivery. During that time I didn't really reach out to Tesla to check status. I did check my Tesla account on occasion. I knew they were busy so I let them do their thing. It was a good exercise in patience
More thoughts to come soon, for now a picture of delivery day.
- Ordering experience
- Delivery eperience
- Local Sales/Service Center experiences
- Upgrades/mods
- Real life stories of how we use this car as a family vehicle
- Impressions from a "non car guy"
- Other ramblings
