Waiting for m3 red exterior white interior

Called in today. Apparently there have been 0 sr+s with white interior made yet for toronto. The dealership nor the phone line has an ETA. It has now been 2 months for me and have been a reservation holder since 2016. TESLA's cs needs work, timelines need to be met, and realistic expectations should be provided. Love the car hate dealing with this though.

I don’t know how you’re keeping sane. It’s been almost 3 weeks for us (SR+ Black w White interior) and we’re trying to be patient.

I check every couple of hours for a VIN or delivery date. Picking up from Lawrence Ave Service centre as well. Hoping they resolve this backlog before June!

Good luck!

I try to check only every couple of days to not go nuts. I really expected to see more white interiors being delivered by this point, so close to quarter end. The VIN is typically assigned as the vehicle ships from California, so that should be giving us about 10 days advance notice of delivery. With the US incentive reduction at the end of June, I wonder how many vehicles are coming to Canada.

A few red/white SR+ appeared in the LA/SF inventory lists last night. Is there no way to get any of those headed up north? Just curious. I'm waiting for a white/white unicorn spotting here in CA. I've seen pictures, so I know they exist.... At least it's encouraging to see some white interiors somewhere.

So I did receive my car on Friday May 17th on day 84 since ordering. It wasn't without issue though. The day before they were trying to cancel the delivery due to the BC credit drying up temporarily. I was so determined I said just keep the date (I was going to buy it anyway just to end this journey) and fortunately I did because late that night it did get topped up so I already had my appointment for first thing that day. I arrived a half an hour early for my 10 am appointment (after making the journey starting at 6am to get there from Victoria) and they were not open yet. I waited around and noticed there weren't any red ones on the lot. 10am comes and they open up to tell me the car isn't there (I swear these people are trying to kill me) it's at somewhere near by and they have just managed to notice a paint defect that they can fix by noon. 2 hours. Or they we can schedule a visit to a body shop in Victoria at a later date. We had plenty of plans and eventually a ferry to catch so I decide to look at it. They had it brought over. Felt a lot better once it was finally physically in front of me. I looked it over, and decided to have it fixed later (we'll see how bad of an idea that was) I also noticed a couple of other things and they fixed two of them right then and there while I did paperwork and he made a note of the other things. They tried to not give me the Nema 14-50 adapter, and the phone cords, but I insisted they follow what my Delivery Specialist had said previously and they caved. I'm still annoyed though that with everything that's happened that they kind of dick people around. I screwed up and did leave with a copy of the contract with his notes though. I emailed later and asked for a copy but I haven't gotten a reply yet. It is a long weekend though... So now I drive away.

I've got to say all of the pain of the last 84 days starts to fade from memory pretty quick once I drive it. It's unbelievable. Simply the greatest machine I've ever been at the control of. A beast beyond compare in my life. Complete and utter excess of power dwarfing every prior experience I've had.

Now I wish it would get an update cause it's still on 2019.7 and I want Sentry Mode before Tuesday when I go back to work and have to park it down town.
 
Clockwork and torontohm3, just saw your order dates in the tracker spreadsheet. Both ordered before me...fingers crossed you'll get yours soon :(

Here's all the red/white for the past several months

Could someone post the link to the tracker spreadsheet?
Bright-eyed, busy-tailed red/white P3 FSD order placed almost 2 weeks ago, was thinking I would get a VIN soon before reading this thread...
 
According to EV-CPO.Com, which I'm not 100% sure how accurate/current it is, there are only 11 M3's "in stock" in all of the US, 8 in Canada and 0 in Europe with White Interior, NONE are Red, all are Performace Models.

I'm under 2 weeks from order date, but I really want to take delivery before the end of June and might consider going Black interior if the White's don't start showing up soon...
 
I ordered a Red 3 AWD White interior April 29th....called many times and can not get a straight answer from anyone
That is because there is NO ONE who can give you an answer. You may as well sit back and relax since calling or emailing will not get you any info since no one who you can contact has any way of knowing. Only the factory gods know or control (since they may not even know) when it will happen.

My theory is most production right now is going to Europe/China and Tesla is putting off much US until next month so they can have the most cars sold and not on ships like last quarter.

And I ordered Red/White AWD, 19" & FSD on the 24th.
 
Maybe its just the area i live in but here in west palm beach i see a bunch of white interiors. My local service center only has vehicles with white interiors. Mainly performance trim but definitely no shortage. For the record my car is a red on white and didn’t have any trouble finding one.

Your theory is correct. The sales manager for Tesla Dania Beach reached out to me and explained that the production currently was for right hand steering and that they would switch over soon for June US deliveries. I also assume that the premium configurations will be those that they ship out first as they get higher gross profit on these models.

2 weeks tomorrow (05/10) since order still on and status still on "We are drafting up your contract"... was really hoping to take delivery before end of June for the Tax Credit but not holding my breath now.
