SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room
- Thread starter HelixSpiral
- Start date
I was also considering taking a look. Let us know how it goes. One thing that I am most curious about is the real world Range.
I test drove an i4 RWD yesterday. It was quick and very BMW inside. The iDrive 8 system was not terrible, but also distracting. I liked the hatch. The backseat was unusable and a deal breaker for me. Also, you will never find a starting MSRP spec i4 anywhere. The dealer said any order now will likely come in late 22 or early 23. They had one each of an i4 and ix to demo. The iX was much nicer and roomier inside but $$$.
I also contacted a dealer about bz4x: 5K "market adjustment" and 5K deposit required. Another dealer said ioniq 5 take ~100 days to deliver, no markup.
Here in Canada, right from BMW's web site
"Please note that reservations are currently being taken for late 2023"
I have been thinking about looking at one of these too - please let us know what you thought, and how it compares to the Model 3.
Ioniq 5 is very nice! Ventilated seats, heads up display, very roomy compact SUV vs 4 door sedan, reported to be very solid and quiet compared to M3, quite a bit faster than M3 RWD, guaranteed to be put together much better than M3, and Hyundai still qualifies for $7500 federal tax credit.
On the downside, way less efficient that Model 3, crappy Frunk vs M3, no FSD, pretty much will be dump and forget by Hyundai when it comes to actual software updates, unlike Tesla, who have proven to continue supporting their customers with new and exciting software updates and I am thinking Ioniq 5 does not handle nearly as well as M3
Doh!
Well at this rate, might be 2023 before we get our M3's

Take this with a grain of salt, but I'm observing LR pushbacks of 1+ months and sometimes longer windows on Reddit and in the LR waiting room, except for January orders. Whereas the RWD, many EDDs are not changing or are narrowing when pushing back. My EDD jumped from August to May last week. Multiple RWD orders from the same 3-week order window from October to November in Montreal have the same EDDs, and they narrowed today. All LR configs show later EDDs than all RWD configs if you check the website. Perhaps they've decided to clear this backlog? All speculation, but it's intriguing and MAYBE me hoping my May EDD is accurate in some way.
One of the news stories out of the earnings call was that nickel is expensive and iron is cheap. They said 50% of 1Q deliveries were LFP. I assume MOST of those came out of Giga China and not Freemont due to the backlog here. (Unless they made a bunch of LFP for Hertz.) I think the order page ranges are pushing LFP so the NCA can go to model Y in Texas or just to react to the price pressure. However, I'm sure Tesla has long term contracts that protect against price fluctuations in commodities.
That's a pretty big move the other way! The EDD makes no sense. Hoping this is a push-pull kind of a move.Another EDD move to the right...was May 26-June 30 now July 1 - Aug 12
White/Black/18""/no fsd
My fellow Canadians, prepare yourselves to see the same bump on your EDDs
Removed my trade in just to be safe. Hope i can still do it after i receive my VIN.
Still sitting at Apr 24 - May 22. No VIN yet so I’m fairly confident I won’t be getting a new car on Sunday 
Getting very close here... it's like cresting the hill and the ice cream truck is on the next hill over.. or is that just a mirage?
So basically it's Boss Baby (for those who have see the movie) at Tesla HQ?I suppose I have too much imagination but what I envision are bunch of baby kids at Tesla's employee nursery, playing with a high tech kindergarten. Kind of like the ones at science fairs. So when they flip, hit, move, push or toggle anything... one of our EDD randomly changes.
Looking at everyone EDD history I would say that my theory is as good as any other.
Yeah I was going to post the same... LOTS of folks on Reddit with LR or P models are getting moved to Q4 basically the past 3-5 days it seems like (which nobody seems to understand; clearly they have not done any reading online)...
So.... something is (potentially) pushing these cars back; perhaps a BIG ASS batch of RWD, maybe just maybe.....?
NO experience on this for me yet, but based on others, sounds like you will know by 4.25 whether this is real...?Still sitting at Apr 24 - May 22. No VIN yet so I’m fairly confident I won’t be getting a new car on Sunday
Or is there a 'standard' pattern of VIN assignments in relation to the starting of the EDD date range?
So I called the Service Center today asking if they could check on my account to make sure everything was good to go. They said everything looks good and that their system shows that my order has a projected manufacture date of May 22 and should be there within a week after.
Guess we'll see if this is true next month. Until then, I'll be patiently waiting... again... for the last few months
God I hope that’s true! Did you call the Sacramento or Rocklin center for that? Did you speak to any specific group there to ask these questions?So I called the Service Center today asking if they could check on my account to make sure everything was good to go.

I called the Rocklin center directly and talked to whoever answered the phone. I didn't ask for anyone specifically. I tried calling the 888 number initially but it said "no one is answering and that the voicemail box is full".
He also said that they haven't received any RWD Model 3s for about 4 weeks (probably end of quarter rush) and that they've been getting a bunch of Model S and Xs.
My manufacture date was april 16th and still got pushed out till sept-oct.

Spoke to a random SA at the Miami store and she told me that the production for M3 shall be ramped up at Fremont by the end of this month once Giga Texas ramps up the production for MY (which would, understandably take away some pressure from Fremont factory). Going forward, bulk resources shall be applied towards M3 at Fremont.
This probably justifies forward movement of all EDDs to May & June. Unless, she is overthrowing (like all of us here) and came up with her own reasoning......
The current shortage is so bad that there are no M3s available in Miami for neither a test drive nor even display at stores/dealerships.
They are expecting some M3s for test drives in the first week of May.
Super frustrating to be in such darkness.......
