I have finally taken delivery of my Standard Range Model 3 yesterday!
Timeline
3/31/2016, Made a reservation at a Tesla store once Tesla opened up reservations on day one
2/28/2019, Ordered Model 3 Standard Range after it was announced that the vehicle was "available now"
3/22/2019, Received text message that M3 was scheduled for delivery on 3/30
3/24/2019, Received text message that delivery appointment was to be rescheduled for a later date
4/13/2019, Received text message that M3 was scheduled for delivery on 4/19
4/18/2019, Received a call that the M3 had arrived at the delivery center but did not pass initial inspection due to minor paint imperfection; delivery date rescheduled to 4/26/2019
4/26/2019, Called in and was notified that the paint imperfection had been fixed and scheduled a delivery date of 4/27/2019
4/27/2019, Took delivery of the M3
By all indications the vehicle is the same as the M3 Standard Range Plus. Nothing has been limited as of yet.
I'm very happy with the car itself. There are no apparent build quality issues.
The ordering & delivery experience was very frustrating. I came close to canceling so many times. Luckily my prior car lasted me through the transition. It's hard to recommend Tesla with its current state of customer service even though the vehicles themselves are really great.
