SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

[cbean00]

I did contact Kia here in BC Canada and here’s what they had to say :

“ Thank you for your interest in the Kia EV6.

Unfortunately Kia only released 200 for all of Canada for 2022 and they are no longer available for this year.

What is even more unfortunate is that KIA CANADA released a bulletin stating that because of the extremely high number of factory orders for 2023's they are now closing orders for next years model as well as supply cannot meet demand and they are already way behind production.

Some devastating news but we do not have an end date in sight. I really wish I had some better news for you.

If you have any other questions please feel free to ask. “

I put a deposit down on one back in February when the first EV6's started hitting the lots here in the GVRD. Sales guy told me early 2023 is when they expect them to start coming in (taking that with a grain of salt given the shortages). Not surprised they stopped taking orders for the EV6 already since they did the same for the Ioniq 5 a few months ago too

It’s only real for LR and P orders so Tesla can report higher profits. RWD orders just get pushed.

Last quarter there was a pretty big push for Canadian SR+ orders and a few U.S. orders . There was a not a big push at 4Q for SR+. 3Q was different as that was pre 60 kw LFP packs. 3Q was a mix of NCA and 55 kw LFP. Those of you in California or Canada have a much better chance of receiving your car than the rest of us, in my opinion.

Oof - what are your order details/date and edd? If I may ask.

The consensus is color, wheels, and interior changes don't put you at the back but can change how you're prioratized. It seems that folks who upgrade in some way very often get their cars first.

Asked SA and upgrading wheels would subject me to current pricing. Almost 15k more (I get 8k rebate in Canada), guess that isn’t happening

I'm making the workbench narrower to make room for our second Tesla, even though it won't be delivered for five months!

I had the same answer 2 weeks ago, trying to switch my 19 sprot wheels to Aero 18. May I ask why you want the 19?

 

[MtlMV]

Everywhere I look, it's incredible how so many peoples ordered the LR compared to the RWD. Thus it's normal to see so many LR VINs.

Because I'm optimistic I like to think that somewhere on the sea, between China and USA, there is a cargo freight with one or more container full of LFP packs and that once it gets to destination, thing will start to move our way.

Good news is that you now have plenty of time to make it work.

Quick question : Did you or will you order the next one with full FSD as well or you concluded that it does not worth the price?

I'm sorry - I'm in the US and they have different policies here.

OD: 10/01/21
White/Black/Aero/No FSD

I've witnessed 2 "quarterly pushes" already. Both times had EDDs narrowed and then pushed out. Been getting 2-week windows during March-May and now it's EDD June 18-July 23.

Everywhere I look, it's incredible how so many peoples ordered the LR compared to the RWD. Thus it's normal to see so many LR VINs.

The RWD is the super bestseller. There's a huge backlog of RWD orders. The fact that Tesla is delivering more LRs than RWDs per quarter tells something about Tesla policy. Either they are short on LFPs or they are purposely ignoring the RWD backlog in favor of higher profit. I mean what are customers gonna do? Clearly there's no viable competition at this price point.

Excellent question. No, I didn't order FSD on this one.

This second car is for the very few times when both my wife and I need a car. There are two to three times in a given month that we have a conflict (I'm out surfing and wife wants to have coffee with friends). So, this car will be driven very little.

I enjoy using Navigate on Autopilot on the freeway, but having it change lanes automatically isn't really worth it. I'm paying attention anyway, so it's easy just to hit the turn signal. In any case, car #2 will be driven so infrequently that it doesn't seem worth it. If things change, we can always add FSD.

Do I regret getting FSD on our first car? No, but if I had been more concerned about the cost, I wouldn't have gotten it.

The other reason to get this second car is safety. If one of us crashes or is incapacitated, then other can come to the rescue.

Every time I see the sport wheels with white on white config in the wild it just looks so good, so I was tempted to change em.

But we’re just North USA, we want the same policies

After my car has been sitting for a month waiting for the ECU and being rescheduled 4 times for delivery with the latest being in June, Tesla called me today to inform me my car is ready for pick up. WTF? Appointment is tomorrow. Fingers crossed there are no hiccups.

I made the mistake when I sold my last one. This one I will keep. Especially when they seem to be creeping up in value in Canada since all of them are being exported out of country. We barely have any inventory up here. Inflation has hit Canadians much worse when compared to the US.

Edd was previously may16 - may30.

Today got a notification in the app to accept the order change regarding the acceleration.
After I accepted the change the delivery was set to May 21th directly by Tesla. (I didn’t even get option to select a date).

vin found in source code,
However purchase agreement not ready for review yet on the website.

Also got email from the service centre saying they will contact me when the vehicle’s arrival date is more secure to confirm the delivery date and provide the VIN.
