SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room
- Thread starter HelixSpiral
- Start date
Yup, still frustrates me that they don't include it on the specs as it is important to know for the charging habits. I hope that is the only complaint I have when I get the car. Also, if it is NCA, it would be weird since this car was sitting in the inventory with the only difference in wheels. They could have just swapped the wheels and matched it to my order without my input. Instead they expected me to keep an eye on inventory and put in a new order and cancel the previous one. So, by that logic it should be LFP and I hope it is but yesterday's conversation with Tesla had me believe otherwise. Damn, every step buying this car is anxiety inducing.

The wait and the changing EDD's do make it hard to plan. I ordered Sept 8th, expecting a Jan delivery. It has bounced around a bit, earliest was a mid Nov date, currently it is Dec 17-Jan 6. Biggest dilemma is when to sell my current vehicle. Oh well, 1st world problems.
BTW, for those new to BEV's, I've driven a fully electric car as my daily driver since 2014 (a Ford Focus Electric - 76 mile range). A few take-aways:
-Maintenance is pretty much non existent (mine has been in the shop only twice in nearly 8 years)
-Range anxiety is no big deal....you can stretch the range tremendously by just driving a little slower (and remember I only have 76 miles, not 260+)
-Your biggest challenge will be when you wake up and discover you forgot to plug in the night before (hopefully you have enough range left over)
-Electric cars are supper fun! You will never want to drive an ICE car again.

Keep me posted if there are any changes on your end! I'm hoping this changes soon!
Oh gosh! I'm so sorry to hear that. Hoping that you get a bounceback. Are you in the states? That does not bode well for the rest of us in the waiting room!
These are great tips. I am in the same boat with you. I have a Jeep Wrangler Sahara that I'll be selling, but don't want to give it up until the last possible moment and be without a vehicle (my wife has a prius, but I don't fit, being 6'6"). Will be so happy when my $60 per tank fill up goes to $0.
I was almost in that camp! Bought an old 914 back in '04 and was planning to convert it to a Pb Acid BEV, but it was too clean and I couldn't bring myself to cut it up, so I sold it and bought the FFE in 2014 instead. I remember seeing a homebuilt BEV at an autocross in the late 90's and have wanted one every since.
How do I tell? It says the driving range is 262 miles. Does that help identify which battery it is?
yeah. My location is NY, Long Island! I wish I had ordered my Tesla a year ago when I was in Bay Area :-(
What an awesome day! Took delivery and the car is so amazing (still gotta figure out the regen braking timing though … started off in Creep mode on the way home 
)
I briefly went through my check list (honestly with the adrenaline during pick up my eyes totally glazed over it).
no major issues at first glance but still ended up submitting a few items for them to look at
1. The left side of the bumper appears to be sticking out a tad (super minimal) but the SA said to just submit a service request to see what they say)
2. back taillight doesn’t seem as flushed
Not a great model shot of Luna but here she

@asquared17 glad you were my EDD twin! Glad we finally got our cars!!

24hrs? I better get a move on it... the guy at Paramus said I had a 100 miles to file my grievances. All the issues on my 3 are on the passenger side. I have that tail light not flush issue also. My rear bumper can be dislodge by hand which obviously is not right. CongratsWhat an awesome day!

I have the referral 1000 miles in my loot box.Oh i forgot to add… it appears they don’t have the 100 miles option related to cosmetic fixes. My SA told me it’s only 24 hrs.Also… my referral points in the loot box is missing. SA told me to check in 24 hours.
How soon did you see your loot appear on your account after accepting delivery?
Yeah totally odd… not sure why your SA told you 100 miles while mine told me 24 hrs.
congrats to you too!!!
