How does it handle the white stuff? I have seen a whole lot of mixed feedback from
amazing with snow tires to horrible too much rear wheel bias needs snow mode to force 50/50 split all the time

My Tesla account updated today finally showing "Free Supercharging until January 1, 2022"

If those Tesla deliveries do end up being final, I can guarantee there were at least 50 people that were waiting on a M3P that couldn't get one.

One thing for sure is the demand is greater than supply. That’s a great thing considering how poorly the customer service & communication are for many. I’m still blown away how the whole process works. Even though I bailed at the end but I’ll be back for sure. In the meantime I’m not complaining being a TSLA shareholder.

I'm off the waiting list (canceled for now), will keep my '18 M3P for now, which is a great ride. New estimated time range was "19-21 weeks from order placed date".

The 3rd expired trade-in valuation from Tesla was offensive... so different from the first, which was significantly more than CarMax and Vroom, that I feel like they were trying to juice the sales initially. I think in the future I've learned to absolutely private party or non-Tesla sell the car before considering an order.

19-21 weeks from order placed date? Wonder if that's the same for all new orders, or specific to your estimate.

Same here. Ordered on November 8th. So end of March estimate is 20-21 weeks from the order date.

I wonder how many Model 3 Performance buyers from this thread got the same treatment from Tesla?

@westernvine I'm curious what your trade-in offer was. I was just chatting with one TSLA perma bull who was trying to convince me that Tesla resale value is close to 100% (sometimes even higher).

49K at initial order, 2nd month 46K, 3rd month 41K. Interestingly nobody seems to care whether used M3P have FSD or not when pricing trade-ins. Original price was 71K+, but it’s worth noting that the car was re-priced so the MSRP is lower than that these days by probably 9K. FSD was added later so net spend has been more.

You could probably private party for a bit more than any trade-in of course, but 100% seems super hard to believe! No reason not to just order something new.

Best bang for the buck is probably selling off an actual 35K Model 3 that you got 3,750 Federal credit on but that's about it.

I've lived in MN most of my life and driven a lot of different vehicles in the snow. I opted to go with all seasons vs snow tires mainly because snow tires feel really squishy when it gets above 45-50F. With the DWS06 Continentals it is remarkably capable - we currently have 4-6 inches of slush snow on back roads around here and it handles it like a champ. It's not the same as an Ice race car with studded tires, but any capable driver on all season tires in an awd Tesla shouldn't have any issues is snow/ice 8-10" or less.

I'm oct 28th and I got the shaft. What irritates me is people getting the same configuration I have on order within a week's time. So not only did I miss out on getting the car but free supercharging for a year and 3 months of fsd. My SA is amazing

I think the way to go moving forward, especially for those on the west coast, is to simply wait for your model to pop up in inventory. It's just stupid the way they have designed their logistics. I'm sure it's financially efficient, but it really pisses off customers.

Speaking of pissing off customers... what's the over/under on them giving me a loaner when I take my brand new car in to fix the dent that they delivered it with?
