Refreshed “2021” Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

[JohnnyEV]

I went by 30 minutes before my delivery time (12PM) and my local SA actually pulled the car up and let me look inside and out all over before the appointment time without having to accept delivery immediately. He said it’s actually the first they have seen since October at least. I made payment once we got inside to sign some final documents.

Overall, quality is just about perfect. I was super nervous but now I’m super relieved. Only issue was the cracked plastic on the charge port, rubber seal was misaligned (doesn’t bother me), and a scratch that I found once I got home )not major but shouldn’t be there). Paint looks good though.

4 months of waiting and it’s finally here, that’s excluding the 3 month wait for the CVAP grant approval before I ordered too. Can’t think of anything else to say other than I’m so happy and grateful to have this car despite all the *sugar* we went through to get it.

Also, I didn’t get a die cast model because they’re out.

Congrats Bro! Welcome to the club. When you open your frunk did you notice the two trim pieces at the bottom of the hood, I'm guessing to try and keep leaves and stuff out? I saw a youtube video of a UK 2021 M3P and it didn't have them on it.

Just spoke to an SA and she said my build date just got delayed again from March 4th to the week of March 15th, with a delivery by the end of the month. Things aren't looking good over here in Chicago.

My loan offer expires on March 20th and am tempted to just buy a used Model S P100D

@Jeffffffffff you had to reapply for the loan right? Was it another hard pull?

My trade-in expired today. Had to resubmit the odometer. They gave me a really good offer on my Odyssey trade-in so I'm nervous I'll not get a good re-up on my offer.

I did knock a day off today on my delivery window, was March 20 - March 31 earlier today:

Estimated Delivery: March 19 - March 31
We will reach out to you to schedule your delivery date. Delivery time frame is based on order date, profile submission, delivery location and vehicle configuration.

How long does the trade in last? Did you accept the first offer?

Must be 30 days or something. I did it late January or early February. I did accept the first one.

Still haven’t heard anything on my white on white M3P in Seattle area. Ordered Dec. 7th. SA said March 7th two weeks ago, haven’t heard anything yet. Dashboard says 10-14 weeks for order date.

From my SA after I emailed today inquiring about my 12/14 order status:

Thank you for reaching out. The best lead time I have is that you can expect delivery sometime in the last two weeks of March. I do not have an exact date and time yet. As we get closer to the end of the quarter, you can be expecting updates, texts and calls to touch base. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out.​

I would love to get my hopes up but I’ve been through this rodeo before. I, like many others here, was promised delivery by 12/31 but that never materialized sadly.

Ordered 12/14, red/black, Central Valley Cali.

Back to 6 - 9 weeks today. Went from March 15 - March 31st -> 6 - 9 weeks -> March 17th - March 31st -> March 18th - March 30th -> back to 6 - 9 weeks today. 1/31 order date, northeast US. No VIN yet.

Almost exact same situation as me. Ordered 1/31 in Cincinnati. Same back and forth with exact dates and relative dates. Pearl white M3P with black interior.

I ordered 2/28 and showing the same date range, so maybe we’ll get ours together. This is my 2nd Tesla and Raleigh service center had been 10”x better this time.

Awesome. Great minds thing alike... Except I originally posted in the wrong forum as I'm picking up a LR lol

I’m also in Visalia Whi/Blk MP3. No VIN. Yesterday dates went form 8-12 weeks from my 1/6 order date to 3/7-3/27. I nearly bought a 2020 MP3 demo in December and they were practically bending over backwards to get me to take delivery before the end of the quarter. Glad I opted for to wait for the 2021. Hopefully they have another end of the quarter push to take delivery. I figured Central California and Bay Area peeps would be last in line, since we could literally drive to the factory to take delivery at a moments notice.

I'm back to "weeks" also. You'd think that the most valuable company in the world would be able to find an intern to fix the website.

Looking forward nonetheless to the delivery appointment email that will surely be scheduled at midnight like everyone else's. Are all tech companies this bad at tech?

I too got a midnight delivery time, glad I’m not alone!

Another update! Just spoke with my DC to confirm delivery and update my financing terms since it was expired. My terms went from 2.44% down to 2.14%!! Same principal amount as well (about 40% down). They said they were super excited since this is the first 2021 M3 performance they've gotten. They said it'll be cleaned up for tomorrow and even dusty it looks beautiful. They also said I can swing by early to check the car. The last M3P they received was over 4 months ago.

For my DC at least, they asked if I wanted it delivered to my home since I'm within 30mi of the center, but I said I would just go in anyway (in case I find anything that the service center could fix). It's also the reason why I moved my appointment from 5PM to 12PM, since the service center would still be open.

It seems like the last four months of agony may finally pay off with all this good news. I hope. Praying that the car is perfect.

Woohoo. Congrats Jefffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
