I’m in the south bay area of Los Angeles, not up north in the Bay Area. I took delivery in Marina Del Rey.

Congrats on the new ride. You've earned your Tesla I'm sure. Ive got the same car but I have white seats. I'm familiar with Princeton area traffic especially around rush hour. I picked mine up in Cherry Hill last weekend. My ride back was a Saturday morning drive back home towards the shore with light traffic. You driving a new Tesla for the first time must have been so stressful. Regen braking takes a few rides to get used to. Glad you made it home alive. lolwell i’m glad i’m not the only one

Jelly. I don’t have the update yet ughBeing in LA and EOQ push, there Is a good chance you will take delivery. You can hand them a cashiers check at time of delivery, but make sure to accept the agreement beforehand so you can unlock the door.
Hi All, thought I would do the same and start a Florida waiting room thread. I purchased my ‘21 Model 3 SR+ on August 15th, 21. Yep, I’m patiently waiting on the infamous update. My 3 has software release 2021.3.106.5. I’m wondering if my release will be updated due to the Tesla Vision camera only system I have.
Also that FSD Beta button, I want it. Where oh where is that button? I keep hearing that driving data and statistics need to be captured for 7 days to “questionably” qualify for the FSD Beta update. Unfortunately, I do not drive mine as often as most. I average around 60 miles total each week, driving 2 to 3 days out of the 7.
So, any others out there with my same scenario, model, purchase time frame with update and/or FSD Beta progress?

The big thing is about believing and keeping your fingers crossed! It doesn’t take that long to build a car. If you already have a VIN showing I would say it is highly likely that you will receive your car on or before 9/30. Although if you do not have a VIN at this moment I would say don’t hold your breath.
As always, things could go horribly wrong (which happened to both asquared and myself) since there are many confounding variables in the process.
As to question 2, you will be able to pay your remaining balance when you receive the text/phone call/email which invites you to schedule your delivery. The invitation is initiated when the vehicle is loaded onto a truck bound for your delivery center (DC). The usual payment method is ACH via Plaid. I would reach out to your DC prior to your appointment if you opt to pay for the balance using a check (I have heard that some DCs even accept personal checks. As always, check with the DC first).
After you scheduling the appointment, your car will arrive at the DC for QC inspection and then subsequently delivery. Failing the QC check could lead to delays in delivery (mine was delayed for a week due to exterior cosmetic damages).
I hope this answers some if not all of your questions. Welcome to the forum and drive on!
I assume they will. We know this. As Tesla’s original tax credit phased out they lowered their prices more or less in sync with the reductions. So it seems reasonable to predict they may do the same moving in the other direction.
Wow! I’ve had mine a few weeks and still no software update. What was your range at delivery and what is it now?? Congratulations!well i’m glad i’m not the only one

Mine was applied to the purchase price as a “referral credit.” It is a $250 credit as I reserved after the increase in the reservation fee.

IRON SPOTS SHORTLY AFTER DELIVERY
This is more of an “immediately after delivery” item rather than than a “waiting room” item, but I thought those waiting for cars might want to look out for this.
A few days after I took delivery of my white SR+ (LFP), I decided to wash it. After the wash, I found thousands of iron spots on the horizontal surface of the trunk, the upper portions of the rear quarter panels (which are somewhat parallel to the ground), the painted surface along the glass roof, and some on the hood.
Luckily, I knew what it was and did not panic. I bought some iron remover and treated the affected areas multiple times, rinsing well between. After trying a Meguiar’s product (which worked reasonably well), I used an entire bottle of Iron X. If any of you have experience with Iron X, most times it requires only one or two treatments. I attach a close up photo of part of the trunk lid showing the spots, and a photo after the first application of iron remover. It turns color on contact with iron deposits. I think I got nearly all of them. I may treat again next time I decide to wax.
I was told that my car was transported from California to Florida partly by rail. I expect it was not well covered and rail dust settled on the vehicle, probably while it was damp. I did not see any spots when I took delivery. I believe a good rain here at home made them more visible. Given the significant dispersion of iron deposits on my car, the fact that it was garaged at home and work, and the very short time after delivery, I doubt this happened on my watch.
It is possible a new owner may not notice this right away, and may never notice it on a darker vehicle. If you run your hand over a wet car after it is washed, you can feel them. If you decide to apply iron remover yourself, I suggest you read the directions and warnings carefully.

Meh, I took delivery y on 08/12 and am still waiting for my first update. The first one may take a while. There is a whole thread somewhere here about it. Patience. It will come soon.
