    I call BS on this story from the SA. I was under the impression that all RHD cars bound for Europe are to come out of China now...

    Edit: Pics or it didn't happen

    Actually a very good point.. I will ask him that when they call back. I'm half tempted to just show up to the delivery appointment tomorrow and see what happens!

    What was the status of your Estimated Delivery just prior. I’m in LA area and currently have a dash only.

    Thanks for the info. Before getting the dash, I was on 3/7 - 3/27. Probably on different schedule.

    Looks like they built a lot of extra SR+ and a few LR AWD very recently. I’m sure the Ps will be pumping out soon.

    there are LHD cars in Europe, just different software and a few other details (ie charge port for CCS).

    Yeah, not sure why everyone always thinks that Europeans drive RHD cars. Outside of the UK, there’s not really many elsewhere in Europe.

    Finally some answers! Heard from the gallery manager and apparently the SA is an idiot, or to use the manager's words he "had incomplete information". The car itself is the US spec, exactly as I ordered and all is well, except the rear bumper is a European version with the skinny rectangular license plate indent.

    They're ordering a new bumper and should be ready in 2-3 weeks, which is great given the alternatives. I wanted to just take delivery now and take it back in to have the bumper swap later but she said they couldn't do that for some reason. Back to the waiting room I go, but at least with a manageable timeline!

    Called my delivery center and they were able to schedule me tentatively for this Sunday. As of today, my car is still in Fremont.

    I had the same etd but woke up to the dreaded dash. I have the same configuration as you so hoping I get some good news soon.

    THIS IS AWESOME! So glad a white on white M3P finally popped up in SoCal! Damn you ordered a month after me and already got a VIN though!?! Haha, I guess this is just how Tesla works...Ready to see some sick pics though when you get it! Glad to hear you had either a dash/blank followed by the VIN cause that's where I am right now!

    Now you got me worried. Ordered 1/23/21 w/ a scheduled delivery Tuesday 5/9 in Dallas. I can’t imagine how disappointed you must be! Question, what’s your VIN?
