Ordered M3 SR+, am I done?

[Whiskeyjack]

Honestly I can't tell if I'm supposed to do anything else.

I've paid the $250 deposit, and I've added my registration information. I'm waiting on them to assess my trade-in value, and I haven't accepted the financing terms since they'll probably expire before delivery. I read afterwards that I should have just chosen cash, but what can you do.

So, do I have to do anything else right now?

Yes just sit and wait. They should reach out when your car is about 2 months out..... we ordered in early to mid July and are estimated to get ours in October right now but it keeps getting pushed back

Great, thank you! Just wanted to be sure I actually did my part and I'm not waiting for nothing, haha.

Hope your car comes soon!

Honestly? I would call and talk to a customer rep at either your nearest showroom or delivery center. Tell them what you want to do or change, if that's the case. I did this and I wasn't supposed to get my M3 until mid-Oct, but got it 2 weeks ago. One happened to have popped up in the color I ordered (someone had ordered a blue one, but ended up getting another car instead) and because I had talked to my rep a couple of times, he called me first to let me know they had a M3 available and if I wanted it.
Just a thought. Sometimes you can get lucky.

My son ordered his model Y in February and was told 9 weeks. He got a call in ten days. With the backlog on model Ys right now I doubt you would see that today but you might get lucky with a model 3.

It's like winning the lottery when you get that call saying, "We have a Model 3/Y that just became available, do you want it?"
After I got that call, I was in my M3 within 24 hours!

Except that when you win the lottery, you actually get some money

Check out the accessories.

Nut caps. Wall chargers.

These things go in and out of stock, and if you decide you want some of them, they may be out of stock when your car finally arrives.

True. But I think I'm very lucky to be driving my M3, one to two months before I thought I was going to be. ;-)

I hear you. For me it was a moment of panic thinking about the cheque I was about to cut.

Be careful about ones that pop up way before your estimated date though as some are ones that other rejected due to defects they found. Tesla might have fixed some minor things or tried to patch them, but the issues are probably still there. I'd wait until you actually get one honestly...
