Just placed my order today! First time ordering a Tesla. I’ve been planning to do it for a while, but the recent, sudden existence of the MY SR really had me wavering for a couple of days. Finally just decided to commit and go for the 3. I only ever got to test drive the Performance and the LR though. The Performance was the first Tesla I’ve ever driven, and I did not expect the acceleration and braking to be that strong at all. I actually thought I killed the Tesla rep sitting next to me when his neck snapped back. The car was way too powerful for me. The second time was more recent, contactless and all that. They did not have SR+ as an option though, only LR. Again, it felt like more power than I needed, but much more reasonable. I know the SR+ will be slower, but I hope it's still somewhat fun. I wish LR RWD was still an option, because that would be perfect imo. Anyway, really excited!
4 hours after I placed this order, I got a VIN and a delivery estimate for Jan 11-13. Originally, it had a date in March. The next day, I got a text asking me to schedule delivery to my home. I was very confused since I indicated I would like to pick it up at Burbank. Anyway, I was not ready at that point (don't have the downpayment together yet), so I called Tesla. Surprisingly, I got someone on the phone in about 3 minutes. I told him my situation, and he asked me when I will be ready. I said the orignal estimate for sometime in March would be fine, and he said no problem, he would take care of it. So soon after, the VIN and date disappeared. Now my account no longer has an estimated date range at all. It just says "We will reach out to you to schedule your delivery date. Delivery time frame is based on order date, profile submission, delivery location and vehicle configuration." Where it used to say March is blank. In the "Selected Delivery Location" field, it used to say Burbank, and now it's just blank. Will I have to call them to get a new delivery date/location or will they just know somehow as March gets nearer to update my account? Is this going to delay the order somehow, because I did get the CVAP grant which is time sensitive (expires April).
