Nope, but financing through Tesla so don’t really need it. I’m going to pack some cheques just in case.

Yeah, that's what I thought, so I mentioned it to him. He said they didn't have enough of them so they are just giving it to the first 200 deliveries.
In any case, I'm a day 3 reservation holder, but I have a die cast model.
Yes I got one too! It was hiding in the centre console. Day 1 reservation holder.

Me too but the range boost with them on is over 4%, and that will be good for road trips, especially in parts of BC where we are supercharger barren. Plus, I really like how they look with the cap kit installed. So when we went to pick up the vehicle, the first thing I did was start to remove the hubcaps and install the caps (Tesla staff then took it over and completed the easy install) and then both my wife and daughter said they like the way it looked with the fugly hub caps better! Not me. I actually really like the hidden rims, once the center cap and lug nut caps are installed. And it's easy to pop out the center caps to put the fuglies back on.

I feel your pain. But to try to boost your spirits, please keep in mind that it's an understatement to say these vehicles are more than worth the wait. Also, perhaps look at it this way. You picked it up today -- all on time -- and then on the way home someone rear ends you at the first traffic light leaving the PNE. Bang -- then the car is towed away and in the shop for weeks (it is a Tesla and I've been there). So you got your car on time but now you have to deal with a repaired 3 instead of a brand new one. Or, you could have got a call today delaying your appt which saved your vehicle from that crash, but you have to wait a few days to get it. Now how good does that delay look?
If I can think of anything else to try to cheer you up, I'll let you know...
I finally got rescheduled, picking up Sunday, exactly a week from when it was supposed to happen. Longest week of my life

I have the lugs and caps at home as well, but I decided not to take off the aeros. They are so iconic for the 3 I have actually come to accept it and even love it.
I waited so long for this thing, I will love it as it is.
For now

It was very smooth, ICBC is high balling the insurance because "it is an expensive car to repair".Good Luck, take lots of pictures and let us know how it goes.
There were very few people.. I was probably the only one picking up a 3. Everyone was all smiles, friendly, and seemed genuinely excited that I was going to drive away in a 3.
The trade in was painless. I gave them my keys and that was it. They honored the quote they gave me without even looking at my car and just took care of everything.
We picked up our car today. It’s so much fun to drive.
I managed to get a picture of the back area with a ton of cars getting ready for delivery. I was told that they are planning to do 100 deliveries tomorrow.
Myself and another owner from Victoria were trying to find people to cable swap with, but everyone seems to need their lightning cables. Anyone have a lightning cable that they would like to trade for a USB C cable (preferably in Victoria)?

Me! I'm not in Victoria though. Are you still in Vancouver?
Edit: I think I just missed you. Dang it.

I received an email today from a Vancouver customer experience specialist confirming that my scheduled pickup for tomorrow is still on and he also provided me with the total amount that I need to pay. I checked my tesla account and it also has documents now showing full total including CEV rebate. 19 hours to go now...
