Performance Waiting Room

[Type 5]

I am home with the new P3D.
My wife drove the car home but we had to make several stops along the way, I brought my truck home in trail.
We got there about 12:45 pm, 15 minutes early. There were a lot of folks ahead of us so we took a seat and relaxed. I took a little more than an hour past our appointment time to begin the process. The concerns about the financial things I mentioned in post #196 amounted to nothing. I told the friendly Tesla representative about my conversations with the Park Meadows store yesterday. She did not check my story, but she said she knew the people I mentioned and if it was good enough for them, it was good enough for her. We made a number of signatures, verified insurance and Drivers Licenses. We went to the car, did a walk around, linked our phones, at 2:30 pm we were on our way to Broadway.
It took longer than I thought it would but I've spent much more time at conventional dealers in the past - like hours and hours more. I've never been to a legacy dealer that was so busy! Thumbs up for the efforts of everyone.
One more thing: OMG! You can't believe how many Teslas are there, it was difficult to find a place to park and there were a lot of Teslas moving from point to point within the facility.
Today they said they had 87 deliveries scheduled and over 110 for tomorrow.
I'd love to go down and help, there were numerous volunteers, but I don't know enough at this moment.
Anyhow, it was a good day.

8 days into being a part of the Tesla family and I’m loving every minute of it! The wait was worth it and I’m sorry to those who are still waiting but I promise you will be happy once you are behind that wheel! I will never get over the acceleration. The autopilot has been really smooth for me. I love the on board entertainment and computer system. I could go on and on about how much I love the car. My only major complaint is the quality of the paint. Protect the front of your car people! Especially if you live in a state where rocks are all over the highway. I’m excited about the possibility that my car will continue to get better as I drive it with all the updates they send out to these cars! Got my ppf for the whole front, tinted the windows, and all the chrome will be gone after the holidays! hopefully everyone has their cars soon!

So just did a search and there are now 15 performance model 3’s with my exact build coming up under local inventory. SA says he can’t match me to any of them because of a rule Tesla just came out with this week! What the hell!!!! I’ve been waiting since Oct 5th and 15 people can walk in off the street and wait zero days and get my exact build. Come on!!!!

Is it too late to change financing? Got a better rate from EECU, but already accepted Tesla's financing via Chase, although I haven't signed anything.

I have no VIN or MVPA yet

I recently changed mine from Tesla to credit union financing. I reached out to my SA and he made the update on the back end (lender name, address, and amount to be financed).

I called the Carlsbad DC and they said that the cars listed were pre-production and that it was better to just wait and get matched with a VIN the old fashioned way. Sigh, the wait continues...

Well hopefully that’s an indication that I’ll be getting my VIN soon.

So I placed a reservation this afternoon with the expectation that I wouldn't get it before end of December but I'd continue to check the "Existing Inventory" page. Well as you've noted, there are a ton of Performance cars that just showed up so I put a reservation down for one of them. At the moment, I have two reservations. My afternoon reservation and my existing inventory reservation. I called Tesla this evening to understand what the difference is between my reservations and they said they can see a VIN tied to the Existing Inventory reservation. Could it be a miracle and I'll get delivery before end of December?

Reservation currently says "Pay amount Due at Delivery" where my original reservation says "We are drafting up your contract and will contact you when you can make your final payment."

Still hoping this means we will see VINs this week with accompanying delivery dates.

I found one that I can do local pick up on too, very tempted to get a P3. I couldn't get a test drive today because the store sold them all!

 

[davider]

Has anyone tried to get Tesla-sourced financing to rate match EECU?

Yes, and they said they would.. it just took awhile.

When I did my last car, they just ask for pre approval letter

 

[YamiLionheart]

This thing is worth the wait. Picked up yesterday put about 40 miles on it.

Can someone with a Performance post what the VIN is supposed to look like? I checked my source code and it shows a VIN but when I put it into the decoder position 8 is a C which is saying its a "C = Base A/C Motor, Tier 2 Battery (31-40 kWh)"

That's an old mapping.
For current delivered cars, C indicates Performance. B is LR AWD, A is Ass

Awesome I have a VIN then in my source code the same day I placed my order.

Downfall is the rumor of 100 kWh battery pack...

I currently see 31 Model 3 Performance cars in Northern CA inventory right now. All colors, some with White/Black interior and none of them have FSD...

I wouldn't worry about FSD as that's something that can be added over the air really quickly, probably at time of delivery.
