So glad I'm not alone with this problem. 1 1/2" rise (vertical slab, not an incline) for me and my new M3 on Summon acts like a stray puppy hesitant to approach a kind stranger. Worse backing in. Other solutions here: Summon on a steep incline..no go. Guess I'm heading to Home Depot to buy a...

I just got my Model 3 a few days ago and have plans to hang out downtown tonight (Master Pancake @ Drafthouse Ritz). Does anyone have a great go-to garage in downtown ATX that's safe/lightly-used/hidden so we can have a chance of emerging dingless? A charger would be a bonus, but not what I'll...

Hope she likes the actual car more than the Tesla personnel and overall delivery experience. Funny, my wife didn't drive it yesterday, either - it was just too late by the time my hands were pried off of the wheel. All through this she has said I've been too nice, though.

Hey @patoirish , I'm pretty sure you and I were there are the same time yesterday. We were the couple + manic toddler. Sorry about your experience and bad luck with the car. And dealing with a long wait is so much more difficult with a baby. We got a little luckier. So we got to go in...

Thanks, @patoirish. I am stressing as well, waiting for a phone call that will tell me not to show up, that they found something. Also stressing that I may let little things go just to take possession of the car when I really should resist and refuse, or tell them to fix stuff, if need be...

Cue Thus Spake Zarathustra

A few more pix from about an hour ago:

I called just to get some reassurance about my Saturday delivery and was informed that they are inspecting my car now. Yay, cool. Then he uttered the most beautiful words, "Want to pick it up today?" Uh, shhyeah. They say they'll call if anything comes up during the inspection, but hopefully...

Thanks for the idea. I completely forgot you can look at VINs on the dashboard, duh. Might be a good thing not to have found it outside. The grassy corner seemed to have contained cars with writing, plus some with QR codes on stickers on their windshields. A little less writing (or none)...

Inspired by @patoirish's approach, I went back to Pond Springs to check VINs. And I found my car! It seems fine, sitting out there on the paved part of the lot. I took pictures all the way around to analyze at home. Wonder if they really are going to make me wait till Saturday to get it...

We drove by Pond Springs yesterday and saw that the lot was full, as was a grassy field adjacent. FULL full of cars, mostly 3s, and about 6-8 that matches my config. Today at noon, we saw that a lot of those cars were no longer there. Based on the timing (Sunday to holiday Monday at noon) and...

A few quick photos of the Pond Springs location from a few hours ago. You can see the lot is loaded with 3s, so full I'm not sure where they'd put any others (maybe around back). I saw one that matched my config that was covered in dust (rail dust?). I have a pretty common config, so who...

Awesome @amietk ! Guessing your VIN didn't show up on United Road, either? Yes, I've had a bottle of champagne chilling in the fridge for a couple weeks now. Ready to pop that sucker. Eventually.

Thanks! Now that the outage is over, I don't see any change on my page. Still saying delivery Sept 8 for me. Based on the conversation here today, I believe you can call your local service center to get hooked up with a text alert for when your car moves, but I didn't get that far with my guy...

Ha. I hope you are not the last one in the THU phantom zone. We were previously scheduled on the same day so maybe yours is coming in soon. Oh, yes, when I heard the news I forgot to even ask about texting and he didn't bring it up. Didn't realize internet stuff was going on.
