It absolutely makes sense yep. I don't doubt your conversation, but I had a call with Tesla arranging (another) test drive and the guy wouldn't confirm Freemont or Shanghai, or heated steering wheel (but I know now Freemont has been doing this for a while). He confirmed the new door cards though which I don't think any of us are particularly thrilled about.

UK Model 3 Performance 2021 Waiting Room

I also asked for an indication as to when I would be likely to see my M3P as I ordered it mid January and I was told that they could see the order was being processed but couldn't give a date for delivery other than what I had previously been notified which is June! I should point out that I live in New Zealand.
Likewise! From what I've read with previous delivery timescales I'm assuming mid-April time? Given approximately one month from leaving the factory to arriving at the docks. Happy to be corrected on this though and anything earlier would be a bonus
Seems about right, assuming of course the form for MIC follows Fremont, i.e. the process of confirming VIN's to customers starts once said motors are on a boat IIRC. You will likely find more detail in Mr Miserable's shipping thread 2021 Shipping MovementsLikewise! From what I've read with previous delivery timescales I'm assuming mid-April time?

Thanks, following that thread like a hawk looking for any potential movements on our orders!
Me too The sad reality is the May estimate is highly unlikely to be pulled forward. Given that I, like most, am doing lockdown mileage, I thought I'd manage in my ICE and let my M3LR go while I waited.... Ha, how wrong can you be?! If only someone had advised me at the time to give my head a wobble, unfortunately the duty advisor was SWMBO, who is of course, utterly sensible, pragmatic and unaffected by the whims of men and motors

If only someone had advised me at the time to give my head a wobble, unfortunately the duty advisor was SWMBO, who is of course, utterly sensible, pragmatic and unaffected by the whims of men and motors I'm doing 60 miles a day and would have loved the chance to have the car for a while before the roads got clogged up in rush hour again. Alas, 'tis not to be. - Unless 'Rona V2 comes out before then.Me too
I've pretty much come to terms with a May delivery now. My current car goes back at the end of this month as its PCP is up (thought by ordering in December with a March estimate it would have worked out perfect but not to be), so we're going to making do with sharing the one car for a couple of months until I get that long awaited text from Tesla!Me too
I am in exactly the same boat.. 5 series goes back 3rd week in April and I will be sharing the wife’s car until mid-May! Luckily I am WFH mostly at the moment, so hopefully not too painful!
I think the next couple of months are going to feel like an eternity!
Spare a thought for me. I sold my RS5 at the beginning of the month and am now using my wife's S Max.I think the next couple of months are going to feel like an eternity!
Ouch! On the positive side I guess it makes the wait more worthwhile...
I’m in a similar situation just sold my RS3 best car I’ve ever had now in my wife’s Q3, hope the Tesla doesn’t disappoint.
Did you have a test drive? I know the RS3 is more fun than the RS5 but the 3 Performance was quicker and more exciting than what i got from the Audi. And mileage will be better too no doubt
. Doesn't sound as good though strangely.I know I must be mad but I didn’t have a test drive! I’m hoping when it comes I’ve forgot what the RS3 was like and I’m used to Q3 performanceDid you have a test drive? I know the RS3 is more fun than the RS5 but the 3 Performance was quicker and more exciting than what i got from the Audi. And mileage will be better too no doubt
. The sound is still the big thing to not have for me, I know it’s said but when it popped and banged it made me smile 
. So did the test drive impress you?- Status
