Refreshed “2021” Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

[RC10M3P]

Ordered 10/19, red black FSD. No vin but estimate is back 12/29-12/31. It’s been a rough 9/10 weeks since I sold my car and finished delivery steps since Tesla kept nagging me to do so.

the funniest thing for me personally is that during this time I interviewed at Tesla for a software engineer job, got the offer, and declined it lol. I didn’t understand the horror stories from past (and current) employees at first, but now I get it. If this is how they treat their customers, I can’t imagine what they treat their engineers like.

Tesla had a few mechanical engineering positions available that I thought would be interesting to apply for, however, Elon's mission to accelerate the advent of sustainable cars could do even better if they can improve their car buying process, it is so frustrating. Would seem that they could help their mission with better customer service and not deliver cars in the logistical order that they follow. It makes their customers and employees more frustrated. Certainly they do better!

On the bright side I got new dates today 12/24-31. Still no vin.

My wife had scheduled deliver for this Saturday for her MY and disappointingly they reached out today to reschedule for Monday. *Sigh* Eventually we'll get our cars, probably on 12/31 at 10pm. Lol

I received this today. I think in translation it says, "chill the **** out!"

Latest update from SA said my car isn’t being built until Dec 29th now. Cutting it pretty damn close for delivery in Carlsbad before year-end. At least I can forget about checking my account constantly for another 5 days!!!

Interesting, my SA has told me that they either don't have the soft matching software anymore or that they don't use it anymore because the dates are still inaccurate?! So I guess just flying blind and maybe a car will show up on the 31st and God willing the issues aren't terrible.

Maybe just a word thing, but by "being built" he means getting a VIN from a recently manufactured vehicle, right? Takes 3-5 days to actually build a car.

Despite my delivery date range (12/24-31), an SA told me to expect a VIN on 12/26-28 with delivery shortly thereafter.

Looks like all the love today with texts going is for the NorCal folks... guessing SoCal love is after Christmas!

Ha ha, yeah - he called out your discussion on the 17th to add some weight to his response! lol

My service advisor has went MIA - inquired about the inventory black on white M3P in Orange County and no response. No response to a message I sent last week as well.

Back to 12/24-12/31 as well. Thinking about canceling as I sourced a different car and have a sour taste in my mouth...but know I’ll love the car.

Right!? That was a whole week ago!!!

Just for fun, I noticed that my 2018 December delivery timeline is sitting there in my phone text message history.

Fun stuff...

12/3/18: “we’ll drop your car at your home on the 6th”
12/5/18 at night: “Hey Jeff, just wanted to touch base with you, my friend. I just received an update from logistics and it looks like we will have to reschedule delivery. Your vehicle is still being moved from Portland to Seattle, so we will not be able to make delivery happen tomorrow. As soon as we have an update on the date that your Model 3 will be ready, I'll let you know. My apologies for any inconvenience this has caused! I'll keep you posted.”
“Hey Jeff! Not to worry, you still have a VIN. This is just happening, because of the delay.”
...
12/10/18: “your car is still in Oregon, but you should have it by the end of the month”

Dang, where are you located? That is my exact order and I’m still waiting after I ordered in early November. Supposed to pickup at the Carlsbad location.

I got the text as well this am, delivery out of carlsbad scheduled for 28th. No Vin as the text said your car is being build in the next 1-2 days

 

[PNW M3P]

Back to not having any dates.

What’s the SA involvement in the delivery and pick up process if any? Given my SA is not even in the same state and not very reachable I just wonder if I would need them in this end part of the process at all?

Yeah, who knows! Honestly don’t think I can trust anything the SA says at this point. Originally they said 24th, then 26th, and now 29th. I’m confident I’ll receive the car by the 31st though, given their sales goals. Primarily concerned about the quality and if there are issues, I may just cancel my order and wait until later in Q1. Not in a huge rush to have a car at the moment, since I’m working remotely.

Also back to no dates. Was tracking 12/24-12/31. Ordered 10/20

I do know at least 2 white/white M3P are coming to Maryland. as one is mine. did you get a vin yet?

Unfortunately I haven't, I've been checking inventory to see if one pops up. There's one in dc but all rims are curbbed up and it has 300miles. That's a no go for me

Ahhh ok when did you order? For Tesla to get a car here now it’s almost impossible. If your open to other color combos you probably can get one before EOY

 

[Runduck]

There was a white white in Dedham ma today. I know because they called me asking if I wanted to be bumped up to that one to get one before the end of the year. The situation was kind of sketchy as the car had already been detailed for delivery. Gave me the feeling someone rejected it. They told me if I said no that they had 5 people waiting for that combo they had to call after me.

 

[RoBoRaT]

Who wants Black/Black with $8K FSD?
I am going to decline this M3P (delay until next year), delivery set on the 28th, San Diego.
