I’m not sure if this is the right place to post this, but if not, please feel free to move or delete. I have a few freebies that I’m looking to give away — I do not want to ship. If no one wants them then eventually they’ll make their way to the dumpster. Pickup in Manassas, VA - Basenor...

For your own sanity, stop refreshing your screens 100 times a day. Just used the Extended Order Plugin for Chrome and it’ll keep a running list each time your date switches. You won’t need to keep your dates in a notepad anymore. Once you visit the site from it’ll log the dates for you...

Just a reminder as you’re shopping loan rates. The lowest rate Tesla offers through their finance partners is 2.49%. However, they do have a rate match program. While applying through your bank/credit union, also apply for Tesla Financing. If your credit union has a lower rate, then email the...

Covers. Trust me when I say you don't want to see me paint

I also have the quick bandit still sitting in the “accessories bin” lol. It will be the last thing I do…begrudgingly. When you find out where we migrate to, let me know!

@LaneDS Today’s additions. I’ll stop posting in this thread because I’m sure others don’t want to see my mods when they’re still anxiously waiting their car.

@LaneDS Lifted; ready for some brake, wheel, and tire work.

Yep the double side tape bracket they put in the trunk. They only give you one temporary plate for the rear.

LOL! I was back there anyway so I figured why not. I didn’t attach the custom front bracket for the front plate yet. I’m waiting until after I get the PPF applied to the front bumper so it’s one less thing that needs to be worked around. I put the temp plate in the holder behind the front seat...

I replaced the standard T logo.

Told you on Saturday that it would be coming in a few days. Tell the Mods to change my screen name to the Oracle.

Front only (bumper, headlights, fenders, a pillars, side mirrors, and frunk). No, once the PPF cures, I’ll put the same ceramic coating on that I use on the body. It’ll be pretty seamless.

@LaneDS today’s additions

The main reason I put PPF on the headlights is that they’re so dang expensive. One good rock that cracks the housing would be all she wrote. Not to mention with PPF, even the buds will come off much earlier and not mar the headlight housing, so they remain crystal clear. I just finished...

The car itself is excellent. I still have a bitter taste of everything from after the order was placed to the delivery center personnel took over. I feel confident in saying I know more about the order process than my SA. When he wasn’t available, and I would receive his out of office reply...

Turn your phone landscape to see signatures. “Ordered 5/23, LR Model 3, MSM + Black Interior, No FSD”

If only the SAs were as good as the delivery fulfillment team. The delivery center personnel were on top of their game. My pickup was scheduled for 12:30 pm, and at 12:27 pm, I received an email that the pickup was ready. By the time I made it to Tysons, the car was already in the app. It was...

@LaneDS now past 8pm

Thank you. People have been getting jerked around on this with different responses depending on who you’re talking to. I guess the big thing is whether you have enough time to reach a rep to switch to an existing vehicle before someone else swoops in.

Two would make sense, putting you around mid-August for a VIN and early September for delivery.

I figured as much. Once they told me “it could be sooner” meaning once we tell you then it’s on you regardless of what you’re up to at the time. Still wouldn’t be shocked if yours arrived either right at 8 or shortly thereafter.

A 20 day EDD means nothing. Check back when it’s about 10 days, then you’re on to something.

Basically an electronic signing of the credit and loan agreements, where your signature appears at the bottom and the date updates for them. Previously I could view them but the signature area was blocked. Now I can see my electronic signature.

smh. That’s why they told you 8pm or 10pm? I can’t recall which. Just like they told me once you get a confirmation that it’s available, I have 12 hrs to pickup — even if the message comes before the scheduled pickup window.

Looks like it’s happening

I just received the pickup delivery instructions. The last email I should get is “ready for pickup” and then I have 12 hours to pick it up. Hopefully it doesn’t come during the dead of night 😂

Circling back to this, since you did get that VIN, correct?

You’re up for a VIN any day now!

I just received the robocall at 9:11am confirming delivery for tomorrow. I won’t post the SA name since I haven’t had a pleasing experience and there’s a chance that, hopefully, he will improve with future customers. However, once I take delivery he will be receiving a strongly worded email and...

Every time you post, I send my Tysons SA another message, which goes ignored. Today I've sent two emails, two text messages, and chatted with a Tesla.com agent in an attempt to pickup tomorrow instead of Sunday. So far, no replies lol.

already sold

Death to the phrase, “…worth the wait.”

If I make my way to Tyson’s on Sunday for my scheduled delivery, I’m leaving with a Model 3 — whether it’s mine or not doesn’t matter.

Finally!!

Some vehicles are transported via rail depending on their destination. I don’t recall the post, but someone’s here was sent to the local SC initially by train and transported by truck the remainder of the distance.

May I suggest getting trade offers from Vroom and Carvana. My trade to Vroom was about $5K higher than CarMax

That’s a long walk to Vienna. And when you get there, good luck finding an SA that’s actually helpful and won’t tell you that the information on the site is all they can see. As someone who also resides in Manassas, closer to 95, I despise the Tysons location. I should’ve driven to Rockville or...

I was unsure why I was quoted. Thanks for the clarification.

Yes, you misread. See the underlined part. Most likely doesn’t mean always or guaranteed. It’s an indicator of what has happened in the past with many folks who post here. Of course there are exceptions.

Umm…ok?

Before VIN - once a day between 4am-6am PST. Once your EDD gets to about 10 days a VIN assignment is most likely imminent but may take a few more days to become available. Once a VIN is assigned the EDD will narrow further and can change multiple times a day as the transit updates. Once you...

I'm setup for 8/1 @ 12:30. Sadly, I have to go to the SC for pickup.

VINs come throughout the day at various times.

Accept delivery. 24 hours to report issues within the app. Schedule a mobile service visit to address them.

Just coming by to say it’s worthwhile to shop around for interest rates. All the pulls, within 14 days, will count as one anyway. Yes, there are some nuances to it since every bank doesn’t pull the same bureau, so you do run the risk of multiple pulls across bureaus, but for me, it was worth it...

Whatever your state’s minimum requirements are and no more than $1000 collision and comprehensive deductibles. However, I’d suggest doing some reading on coverages and their meanings and applying them to your financial situation and financial risk before settling for minimum anything.

@LaneDS i’m pretty confident our cars are on the same truck and we’ll pickup from the same place on the same date

The SA I was dealing with out of Tysons (VA) started off pretty great and responsive. Then he just fell off. The last time we spoke, he said I’d know more about when the car would arrive than him. Who knew he’d be spot on, because when I emailed him to say, “Hey, the VIN is now available,” I...

I was called a killjoy the last time I mentioned the squirrel. @hcdavis3 and I stand tall on the no-squirrel required hill.

Well, I’m officially transitioning from the eagerly anticipating to the owners club. It’s been a fun ride. Best of luck to everyone still waiting. And no, I don’t believe the “wait is worth it.” The car is worth the price, but it doesn’t make up for terrible customer service.
