Wow, I am amazed at how well my order process is going. I have been following Tesla since the introduction of the Model S, and as a tech fan, I instantly fell in love with the 19 inch touch screen. The Model S was and still is out of my budget, and I waited patiently when the "affordable" Model 3 was introduced.
I am currently in a lease that ends in September, and with the federal tax incentive getting cut in half at the end of June, I thought it made sense to pull the trigger on the Model 3 now.
I ordered a SR+ black/black with 19" sport wheels on 6/6.
Today (6/15), I checked the existing inventory and saw 4 Model 3's in my exact configuration, so I reached out to my advisor to see if I could get assigned to one of those. He said sure, but when he went to assign one, he found that I was already matched. So VIN was assigned in my account on 6/15.
Later in the day, I received a text message saying my Model 3 delivery appointment has been tentatively scheduled for 6/20.
So from order date to delivery date, it has been a total of 14 days, just as advertised.
I have been reading these forums for awhile and have heard of a lot of disappointing stories, and I understand things can happen for a fledgling car manufacturer that is dealing with tremendous growing pains, so I prepared myself for the worst.
But all of that worrying was for nought. The ordering process was easy and painless.
Now all I have to do is take delivery, and I'm still a little skeptical that it will go smoothly, but I'm glad I made it this far.
