Refreshed “2021” Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

[CanadianRob]

Just received a phone call from my SA in Toronto saying they've received notice of a bunch of M3P's coming in before the end of March and mine is included. He mentioned that there have been severe delays on M3P production and that he has people who have been waiting since December.

Ordered 2-22-21 White/White M3P w/FSD.

I’m still waiting for a new delivery appointment, crickets since they delayed my delivery Monday due to “cosmetic issues” with one of the wheels. I hate waiting. Makes me nervous my VIN might disappear or somthing.

Anyone have any advice on who to contact if my SA won't return messages/calls? should I give the local showroom a call?

I called the main 800# and had a sales rep help me.

I'd highly recommend test driving both back to back. I went in thinking I would get a MYP for its utility aspect (having kids and such), however after driving both it was clear to me that the Y just isn't as enjoyable to drive. Way harsher / unrefined ride, doesn't handle as well, and feels moderately slower in acceleration compared to the MP3.

Thanks. I plan to be patient and wait for my M3P. It's a better fit for my needs - fun car to zip around Palm Beach County. The Y is about the coolest and fastest SUV, but it is an SUV and I don't have kids and don't really need the extra room. The smaller and lower profile is one of the things that attracted me to the M3P. I currently drive one of the smallest BMWs available - the M235i. I find small, quick cars are the most fun to drive - you feel the speed.

Cheers,

Snade

Contacted my SA to ask if I had a gate date. He said no and i should have one towards the end of the month. I’ve heard this before so we’ll see. Been waiting since November, fingers crossed!

Does anyone know if a gate date is "guaranteed" or does it vary similar to delivery date?

 

[Hilbe]

How are you notified of VIN? Text? Email? Busting you F9 key?

Yikes! Three since November? That doesn't make any sense! Did you order the unicorn color? lol

There were two people that got VINs and order last week. I am hopeful that next week or the week after will be when the gates open up for most of us. My SA has told me that 1-2 weeks is when production of the M3 will begin (which was a week ago) and that cars will be assigned shortly after that.

I've been waiting since the beginning of November as well. Black/black.

Were you the one who went to see theirs sitting in the lot and then was told they couldn't have it yet?

Nov12 here, and I'm one exit away from the damn Fremont factory. I have a feeling that international and out-of-state orders are prioritized and they simply leave us locals to fight for the scraps that are left at quarter's end.

I had exactly the same experience.

I went black/black as well. Like someone mentioned above, I think the priority is on the furthest orders, and then at the end they try to sneak in the closer orders and if they don’t make it before the quarter ends they get pushed till the end of the next quarter. At least we get a heated steering wheel out of this
