Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room
- Thread starter GreenHokie
- Start date
Still June 4 - June 30 here. RN12153. Ordered 1.5 hours after they opened them up.
You ex-military? That was our motto!
The waiting reminds me of being a kid at Christmas... except Dec 25 is Dec 25 - no changes in the date, but still with the anticipation.
I've set my expectations pretty low - I told myself to -really- think about a July delivery. Anything before that would be gravy!
Congrats from across the river!!!Sold my 2019 SR+ for $25k this week; $5k more than Carvana's offer (which had the highest offer). The cheapest total cost of ownership car I've ever owned, by a long-shot. Paid $34k for it (net) in 2019. The IRA used EV tax credit definitely helped. The buyer is getting a screaming deal ($4k tax credit + $5k state rebate). All of it will get rolled into the new M3P
Did you sell it to someone through your listing here? Mind sharing what platform the purchaser found you on?
sequence of numbers don't add up. i ordered 49 mins after launch, and got RN12154. New Jersey.
It went from “June” to July - August. On teslas website it still says “June”.
Little bit disappointed if the car comes in August as I’ll have to swap in winter tires in less than two months.
I’m just outside of Chicago and ordered day one — Red/White — May14/June11 showing as of today.
Why is anyone paying any attention at all to EDD dates (other than the fact that in waiting room threads, thats what people like to do, talk about moving EDD dates?
Didnt anyone see what I mentioned earlier in this thread? For reference, here it is again, regarding the ordering process:

Once you get a VIN it goes pretty quick at least that’s my experience. Maybe we should be comparing when VIN’s actually are given to when orders were placed as well as where the order ships to? We’re all chomping at the bit to get these suckers…I’m pretty sure these cars are gonna be pretty special!
it’s what people want to talk about. it’s the only thing that’s in flux so it’s mentioned a lot. if not then what would this waiting room be? we are all ready to take delivery some of us it’s our first teslas. maybe we should rename this to the commiseration room.
Yeah it does go fairly quick once you get a vin. Its before that, regarding anything a person sees in their account on "ESTIMATED delivery date". None of that matters, before the vin.
Its not like I havent seen that. I mentioned, in that same quote:
Perhaps, its just that a lot of people get all spun up wondering why the dates move, complaining about them moving, planning around getting a car based on the EDD date they got, wondering why someone else got a sooner date even though they ordered later, etc, and none of the dates really matter.
Of course, I am sure the site owners wouldnt want me saying this, because "its traffic" even if its just people repeating the same stuff about dates moving and moving and moving (and moving).
yea i get you! i know for me this is my first tesla and even though my edd has been moved like a yo-yo i’m not up in arms about much of it. i take it as experience for when i order my next one.
Enjoy the ride, and pre congratulations!
For most people (not all, but a very large percentage), once they get the car in hand, all of this stuff tends to just fade away.

This is an important reminder for those that have missed it, and I have the same exact experience with three prior custom orders with Tesla vehicles.
That said, i think people continue to compare and pay some or much attention to the EDD in order to try and make sense of the waiting period as much as possible. People will deconstruct the RN and the dates, and correlate that with the geographic location because it's a way to pass the time since we're all experiencing the same wait and anticipation for the car. We know that when one person gets assigned a VIN, then that's when things will pick up because it would be the first (known) domino to fall, which will signal to us that our VIN could be next.
How many times an hour are you guys seeing this and hoping for the best? 
Looks like most were not paying attention in class…
I, on the other hand, took your advice and have been ignoring my EDD range.
However, since there is a good chance I will be out of the country on vacation when my vehicle finally does arrive, I went to my local SC earlier this week to chat with the Sales Advisor who helped me on the previous two Tesla vehicle purchases. This is where the story starts to make sense and have some relevance. So, play attention and focus!!
Anyway, I wanted to see if my Sales Advisor could provide a little better/more accurate delivery estimate than my app (which currently shows a EDD of June 7-30). If my vehicle is not expected to arrive until the end of June, then I will definitely be out of the country and not be able to take delivery for 1-2 weeks. In this scenario, I would simply ask my Sales Advisor to put a temporary hold on my order. So, my Advisor pulled up my account/order and after a few minutes of navigating through Tesla’s order/tracking system, he told me my vehicle is scheduled to arrive at the nearest distribution center on May 30. Then, he goes on to tell me that once a vehicle arrives at this distribution center, it’s typically 7-10 days for that vehicle to arrive at the SC and be ready for customer pick-up. So, he said right now, it’s looking like my vehicle will be ready for pick-up sometime around June 7-10. No, I have not been assigned a VIN yet. But, if my Advisor’s estimate holds true, that would of course be within the current EDD window provided by my app (June 7-30). More importantly for me, it means I should be able to take delivery (and do some 0-60 and 1/4 mile runs) before I leave the country for vacation!!
