Performance Waiting Room

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
If you are lucky to be part of USAA, they have much better rates than Tesla right now, below 4%. This has not always been the case.

Red/white P3D w/FSD ordered 5/8 over two weeks ago, no VIN. This combo seems to be a unicorn. Sales Specialist has been generally responsive but no info other than “waiting for VIN.”

At this point I’m starting to sweat if delivery will be by end of June before my loan approval expires and US tax credits gets cut and half again.
 
As an update after reading recent posts and since I have been waiting for quite a while. It seems I am one of the oldest on the waiting list.
I am in Florida
Today is 7 weeks since my order
White on White P3D
Ordered April 3rd. Still nothing from Tesla. Many white on whites popped up last weekend in Florida standard range, prior to that they were Long Range. I am assuming and hopeful that performance is next.
All the standard range M3's in all the colors and trims have been gobbled up and none remain.
Wall Street stating there is no demand for these cars. Hahaha!
While waiting I purchased Tesla Shares on the plunge. At least those shares are purchased in no time.
Tic Toc hopefully soon.....

I was driving home last night from Irvine to Temecula (south bound on 15 frwy towards San Diego) saw a truck with teslas. Mostly model 3. At least 4 white and one was performance. It was dark and I passed the truck quickly but I saw white with red brakes on the front most car. Maybe more where Ps. I hope someone is getting a call soon! Keep the hope everyone, they are coming!

How can you be sure? I have a May build date Model 3 with FSD. Elon's claim is that I should have HW3...

Is there a way to verify? Moreover, why would it matter if no HW3 builds have gotten 2019.16.2?

I think you’re misunderstanding. You almost certainly have HW3. I do on my April, 2019 model. Many of us with HW3 are waiting on the new visualizations and other upgrades that came with 2019.16.2. That’s why we want the update!
 
Got a VIN today! I was notified by SMS. Ordered May 4th Red/White FSD. Tentative delivery appointment set for June 1st. Hopefully only a week or two more before I can drive it home. This was an east coast US order. Rep mentioned they had several performance models show up in inventory that morning.

White On White Unicorn FSD delivered today !
393xxx vin and 5/19 build

The Good:
No mechanical complaints, paint, what I could see looked ok.
White is harder to inspected than darker colors showing white defects.
The late afternoon sun showed the dirty rag glass windshield
swirls from amateur detailing.
Couple of smudges on white door panels, a baby wipe made quick work of that.

The Bad:
Was delivered with 2019.7.206 software, already experienced
dreaded screen flicker corruption and reboot.
When that first happened it corrupted my usb drive for music and dash cam

Car was charging on my adapter but when placed back in the car they kept the Nema 14-50 adapter. Was told it’s no longer included. No amount Of arguing would suffice.
I was charged $15 dollars to get one to take home
No Phone cables but the J1772 adapter was furnished.

The Ugly
Delivery specialist was professional.
Somewhat rushed. Strange because there were no delivery’s after mine.
And with a number of my questions, let’s say, Misinformed.
As an example I Was told 7.206 software was the very latest.
No sentry mode.

Car is wonderful, and would do it again
 
Congrats and enjoy! 51 miles seems like a lot; I’m scared of doing home delivery as I feel the cars arrive with considerably more mileage during home delivery instead of the car getting picked up at delivery center. Did they tell you the exact mileage when you spoke regarding home delivery?

No they did not tell me the milage when we spoke about delivery. The delivery center is 24 miles from my home. If I went to pick up the car, my wife's Model S would have an extra 48 mile on it, in addition to my M3 having 24 miles. So them delivering was better option in my opinion. Also, Tesla takes full responsibility for any damages until I accept the car at my home. Fortunately, the car arrived WITHOUT ANY DEFECTS OR PAINT ISSUES! Very very pleased with this part of the process.

Congratulations!!! I'm so excited for you! I'm chomping at the bit to get mine (same build w/wP3D) this is a great sign for all of us!

Enjoy!!!

I see. I got 2019.16.2 on Wednesday. The visualisations are indeed nice.

I'm not entirely sure if this is newnor not as iIonly had my car for 3 days prior to getting the update, but I don't recall it ever showing my car's brake lights when they function with regen braking. That's been something that has worried me since getting my M3. Seems like they don't turn on easily enough; half the time I'm slowing to a stop I see someone right on my bumper making a nosedive. With the indication on the visualiser I'll often increase my braking a bit to trigger the lights and inform the driver behind me.
