Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

[katbc]

I relate to you relating. My previous car (an Audi A5) was totalled last month, and I decided to order a Tesla as a replacement. I got two weeks of rental car use from insurance, but that ran out and now I am on 2+ weeks of uber / sharing a car with my wife. My f5 button will soon lose its paint.

Our M3P was totalled last month and we have a rental until Jan (sucks going back to an ice). It will be a rough 2-3 months if we don't get our car until March but we know how good it is so we will deal with it, as sucky as it will be to wait.

I relate to your relating. We should see who has the worst deal on a rental car! lol

The daily rate on the Corolla that I'm renting comes out to about $800/month.

What config did you order?

Ouch. I rented a compact SUV for $680 a month but I had to rent month to month. If I go with a daily rate it's over $800 a month.

What config did you order?

Model 3 Performance - white outside, black inside, no autopilot.

How extensive was the damage to your original M3P to get to the total write off stage?

I was very surprised that my Audi was totalled given the low-speed impact of the wreck (two smooshed doors and a quarter panel). The killer was the aluminum frame that only a single autobody shop was authorized to work on - the repair estimate came in at $20k! The other guy's insurance company decided to declare the vehicle a write-off at that point, despite the car being work 2x that. I wasnt complaining.

I’m interested in what your account says for delivery estimate now that you received that text message.

Alright, we need some comic relief in here.

Are you keeping your original wheels / tires or selling them? If the latter, what would expect them to sell for? I am considering switching to 18" wheels for more pothole/curb forgiveness, but I would want to subsidize the process by selling the originals.

I'm switching to the 18 x 9" FC04 with 255/40/18 all seasons immediately upon delivery... whenever that may be... I'm planning on running the Ubers in the summer, but 18's ride so much better, I might just stay full time 18" - plus they're lighter. We'll see what happens.

Either way, I'd assume you could get 2500-3k minimum for the Ubers with new tires

Mine switched from Dec 19-31 to "Estimated Delivery: 2 - 4 weeks from order placed date" (which was last week - so I'm not complaining much, you guys have been waiting much longer).

 

[BMCRedMP3]

Just ordered and now I hang out with you all.

San Francisco Bay area
12/11 order date
2 - 3 week estimated delivery
Red with white interior, no FSD

Oh hey...I saw awhile back some asked if the 2021 M3P had the 82 kw batter like the 2021 long range model. Perhaps I missed it but has this been confirmed or denied?

 

[PNW M3P]

My account still does not have an ETA listed (date range or weeks) but today the SA said he believes we should start seeing P's (in the PNW) by the last week of December.

Been waiting so long, and ordering so many car accessories/components while I did, that wife just asked "What is going on? Are they sending you the car in pieces?"

I can't wait to have another credit hit on my account when my loan approval expires.

Called my Tysons Tesla, where I test drove and ordered my car from, to ask about cancelling the trade in (I found someone to buy my car). They said no big deal to cancel the trade just let them know.

I also asked if a car that was ordered on 11/21 would be here before the end of the year. Verbatim, I was told that the cut off for end of the year orders was 12/8 and I’m way ahead of that so hopefully it won’t be too long.

10 minutes ago I received the long awaited text, and scheduled my delivery appointment at Tysons for 22 Dec. my config date was 11/22 and VIN match date was 6 Dec. Hopefully you hear something soon!

**** yes! You go! Awesome. Now I have to check my account again...

...nothing. But I’m excited for you!

Ordered AWD LR Dec 3rd.
website said Dec17 to 31st. It now says 2 to 4 weeks. So same dates basically.

May I ask where is the section you guys see the VIN being assigned?

It’s my understanding that it appears under the reservation number, but I wouldn’t know cause I don’t have one yet.
