bearing in mind location is key... folks in cali and out west have a much better chance of finding something vs someone say out east or midwest.

Nah, you won't get a VIN until the car turns up at the Delivery Center, so probably the 18th or 19th. Maybe even the 20th.
Normal situation.
Good thing (probably) is they've scheduled the person who will do the delivery
That's exactly what I'm hoping is NOT the case... taking a smaller battery and squeezing 20 more miles out of it hurts it's longevity in the long-term.
In fact, my suspicion is that they will be 55 kWh, mainly because all the other Model 3's have ratings of ~4.4 Miles/kWh.
Also the weight difference of only 50 pounds is another hint, since 11 kWh of batteries weighs 100 lbs (with an Energy Density of 247 Wh/kg)
I'm very curious to see the actual number the car uses:
If the Standard Plus has a 50 kWh battery it will take the most wear and be pushed the hardest, and have the shortest lifespan.
But if it does have a 62 kWh battery it will take the least wear, and have the greatest lifespan of all the Model 3's!
They have the one I want minus the wheels. I don’t want the aero wheels. Rep will find out if they can swap wheels
Nice, I had to do some legwork to get the final price adjusted because sales staff seem to have checked out. Hopefully all goes smoothly for you.

Same for my dealer in Charlotte. After asking 4 times about the idea of going to an MR, i still don't have an answer. They seem to not have knowledge of other dealers doing this or even if they can do this; apparently even the management.
I get the same impression they don’t really know what they are talking about. I called back and they don’t even know if they have such a car in their inventory. I’ll just wait it out for the sr+ If I don’t hear back.

Unfortunately, they probably don't have any real incentive to sell so I had to pick up the slack and get things moving by calling the corporate line. After speaking with someone at the corporate line I learned that the sales associate didn't leave any notes to get the final adjustment, didn't cancel my old order, or even call me back after I left a message. Corporate customer service was more than awesome though. With prices increasing I didn't want to rely on someone who is actively looking for another job.
Is the tilting/moving of the steering wheel electronic (with the scroll wheels) or is is manual (with a lever).
It's electronic. Very robotic sounding noise. Best way to quickly to describe the car is MR without backseat heating.
We shall see on Monday if there are any problems, as it is the closest dealer to us.
Will be driving down a trade.
Does anyone know if they take personel checks?
I am sure it is a busy retail location....
dam. I have AP too and was hoping they would atleast include the EAP. $5 -8K more for auto change lane is insane to me.
