Silver AWD configurations and deliveries

Does the "Edit Design" button really mean anything other than confirming that Tesla can create the docs with the info you have submitted? Once I switched to cash many weeks ago, it was gone and didn't return. That said, I can still use this link...

I thought about making changes MANY times, but I'd be scared to change even my wheels now, as it will update you to the new higher pricing for AWD, paint, & delivery. I have not heard a peep from Tesla since early July when I asked them to edit registration info for me. The ISA doesn't respond now to email.

Are you saying even though your edit button is gone if you follow the link you posted with the reservation number that tricks the site into letting you do An edit ?

I also made the mistake of playing with the payment and did cash and lost edit button since. On the 1st made the decision to go Proformance and had to submit email request which is still yet to update.

Yes... It's a back door way to the page. You can still get to the edit page and change your order using it. You will likely have to copy and paste from my post because the link gets redirected to your account page otherwise. That said, I can't promise you won't get bumped to the back of the line (or front) or if they would force the new pricing on your order.

Confirmed several weeks ago. No edit button 5 weeks ago when I filled in last green check.

Despite learning they have begun P3D- with white, nothing yet.

last night I got the email that my silver with white P3D- model 3 has been built. No details on delivery estimate or VIN yet, but it has been built so they've done a batch of silver.

I hope they get the paint issues sorted by the time they run the silver NonP AWD cars through.

One Model 3 owner posting that his silver car had paint flaws (in another thread, not this one) does not support the conclusion that Tesla is having “paint issues” (plural) with silver Model 3’s. It is a “paint issue” (singular) with that particular car.

If you have information about multiple silver Model 3’s with paint defects, I’d like to hear about it.

Got VIN 560xx and delivery set for first week in September.

It's more a general issue with erratic paint quality (underspray, thickness variation, bubbling, general consistency) not specifically endemic to silver.

 

[TurnFast]

Hmm so if they're doing a silver batch now, I'm not contacted, I'm guessing I have another month to go at least then.
Just reserved November last year so my expectations for receiving the car are pretty low.

Yes I have seen some posts by new Model 3 owners complaining about paint defects, and I do not question their veracity. But I know many Model 3 owners and have looked up close at many Model 3’s (they are plentiful where I live) and I have yet to hear directly about or see any paint issues myself. It is hardly a common problem.

I haven’t seen any issues with Silver either. What’s surprising is the $2,000 paint for White and Red still has the same issue of mismatch color tones on the bumpers.

Still crickets but, hoping to hear before end of August.

I wonder how often and how long paint batches run (eg do they do one color per day or per week).
