UK Model 3 Performance 2021 Waiting Room

[M3Phil]

I've had more luck with 'Emma' today and I've had my VIN confirmed and estimated end of June delivery

I feel incredibly jammy since I ordered the vehicle 4 days ago, whereas a lot of you have been waiting since December Happy you're all finally making progress though.

Great news for everyone getting confirmations through!! The ship is just passing Kuala Lumpur so making slow but steady progress towards its final destination

On a slight tangent - anyone thinking of getting wheel and tyre insurance and if so any recommendations?

Exciting times ahead for us all

Text-tastic. I just got the "car has been allocated" text as well...

 

[SiBurt]

I GOTTA TEXT!

 

[Mattallica]

Anyone thought about delaying it to the point where you get improved tech and revised cabin tweaks etc?

 

[TomGun77]

Text received from Tesla 4 weeks and counting

 

[Die5el]

Text finally received at exactly 11am. Suggests that they are going out in batches as others have suggested.

Tesla did that for a bunch of us already

Little point IMHO. Teslas are like phones. There will always be a tweaked model on the horizon.

How would you even know what they would be or when they would appear?

As a general rule, if you're going to be fretting about new developments you should definitely think about whether you'll be happy buying one. The car will be continually changed and tweaked.

Just got allocation text!

Also recieved a allocation text 20 mins ago from tesla without any prompting, ordered Jan.

As others have said, it doesn't really matter how long you wait as there will always be a newer model just around the corner and that is true whatever car you buy, not just with Tesla.

The benefit we do get with Tesla however is that 'improvements' are continuously received during ownership via OTA updates. These updates aren't just all about what you see on the screen. Sometimes they also make better use of the hardware to yield things like improved performance or range.... and also hopefully better management of the heat pump in cold weather and at low states of charge conditions!

Frankly I was quite impressed with Munro Live when he did his teardown of the 2021 M3 SR+. He was very impressed with the engineering, and noted a huge improvement generally.

The bit that sold me was the continual part improvement on the HVAC and the one line he uttered 'Well this is just like a BMW. But faster.' !

 

[TomH0927]

Just received an allocation text!!

 

[MBL80]

[Timberman]

Tesla texting frenzy this morning!!

 

[Rookie_Pete]

[FastTopCat]

Got my Text!! woohooo

 

[M3P_W8]

Do we know if any Shanghai-made 2021 M3P's (LHD or RHD) have been delivered anywhere in the world yet?

If not, do we know which country will likely to be getting them first?

 

[ElectricChapel]

I've got a delivery appointment for June 22!!!
