    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    @T-J- Are you keeping your Cabin Overheat Protection on? I'm on the central coast in california so not hot by any means compared to your area, but mine hit 118 F this afternoon so I turned it back on just incase. Getting tint on back half (full back glass) on Friday so that may help.

    Picked up with 2 miles :]. Michellin tires, matrix headlights and everything else that should have come with it. No damage. No panel gaps. Etc. Few swirls in paint but typical with a new car.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Just confirmed my delivery for tomorrow at 4:30! The SA that has been helping me after I got my VIN has been super helpful but said he couldn't find out whether or not it had Matrix vs. Premium headlights. Either way I'll accept so I guess I'll find out tomorrow.

    13-17. They don’t do deliveries on Mondays so hoping for Tuesday. Its in transit now and its about a 1-2 day transport/prep.

    Just got my VIN! 277. Currently in transit. Just uploaded insurance but hoping to take delivery tuesday.

    Haha 95% is highway driving. FSD would be a waste of money in my opinion. I tried FSD on a 2022 and it completely cut someone off during a lane change. Honestly I just want Autopilot for steering, etc. on the highway :).

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Haha the drive is pretty long, but luckily all highway driving (not busy either). I listen to audio books so i'm sure it'll be fairly easy. The industry i'm in doesn't have many director level positions in my area so I had to venture out a bit.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Haha nahh. Accepted a job at a college nearby. The drive isn't bad. Very little traffic and 99% highway miles. Plus with a tesla and solar at home I won't be paying anything.

    https://www.tinting-laws.com/california/ Or any other web searches. Essentially you can tint your front side windows for UV/heat reflection, not for darkness.

    Wonder who that sounds like 😅🤣🤣. Gas just hit $6.20 ish at Costco and I just accepted an offer for a job with a 140 mile round trip commute. Cuttin it close 😂

    Well woke up to a 10 day window -_- June 12-22.
  12. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Well I was slightly wrong. Windshield is a 4” strip on top, but you can tint the passenger and driver front windows with 70% legally since the windows are already at a 70% visibility from factory.
  13. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Oh wow! In CA we can go as dark as we want for all back windows, but front three are limited to 70%
  14. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I believe in you. You got this. (As I pretend to not be bummed about not getting a vin). Sigh….
  15. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Hard to tell from the pics, but with 20% can you see in during the day? I would assume if you're up close you could see a bit, but my goal is no visibility in for the most part without going limo.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    You will most likely get your car in that range. It looks like you have five posts now. Definitely add your order date and EDD into your signature. Helps others keep track.
  17. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    It seems they do this every quarter. During the second month they push the East Coast up to a certain point (in this case getting close to April OD orders), and then the third month they heavily push West Coast (in this case probably mid to late March if not into April). I'm at 3/6 OD and today...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I think I already know the answer to this, but the beginning of my 2 week window starts on Thursday. I know pushbacks normally happen the morning of the second day (at least for me and from what I've seen). Are vins normally assigned randomly throughout the 2 week window though or are they...
  19. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Hopefully your 2 week window sticks :). Just for reference, I am fairly close to the factory (few hours away) with a 2 week window starting on the 9th. I haven't received a vin yet, but am hoping to receive one soon. Most likely thought I will receive a vin either next week or the following week...

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    They deliver the vehicle with a truck. They don’t actually drive it to you. You can still deny the vehicle if you find defects, but you just have to contact them (I believe), and they’ll pick it back up.
  21. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    More importantly..... can he make this 13th EDD fit in his signature??? Records are being broken here.
  22. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Wooo. Finally got my first 2 week window. Guess all I had to do was complain on the forums and sleep 🤣. @T-J- VIN this morning???? My window is June 9-23, so figure yours has to be about a week before mine.
  23. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    When everyone on the spreadsheet around you has vins except you :]……….

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Yup. I’ve always used the stock mats (California so no mud, etc.), but i’ve always hated getting dirt, rocks, etc in-between and underneath them. The Taptes ones appear to solve that issue and were cheap :).
  25. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Basic carpet ones. Most people order all weather since they generally provide more coverage for protection.
  26. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Most of the time the first range you get is the most accurate. But sometimes people cancel, so all up to fate.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Romex is generally fine, but THHN wire handles hire heat loads than Romex does. :)
  28. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Nope! Pop in/pop out I think.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Teslas have to be lifted a certain way to avoid damaging the batteries. Jack pucks allow you/shops to lift your Tesla the proper way.

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    From videos I saw they appear to be identical to the 3DMaxpider ones and in some cases even better. I have the taptes ones in a box in our spare room until the car comes and they seem good quality.
  31. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Hiline is correct. I’m just pissed I didn’t get a 2 week window. Not a fan of 4 week windows :) haha
  32. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Nope…. I’m 3/6 and got pushed to another 4 week window today -_-
  33. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    When on your order page (showing your date range), hold ctrl and press U. It should open a new tab (or window) with the source code page. Hold ctrl and press F once that opens to open the “find” menu. Then search for “insurancef” (without “”), and if you have a vin it should be listed just after...
  34. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Ugh. Went from 0 changes for 65+ days to another 4 week window :/. June 5-July 3…..
  35. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Welp… I’ve been over here in a similar place as TJ (0 updates entire time) losing my mind waiting for an update. My body decided to intervene and give me the gift of the ‘Rona 😑😬
  36. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    The date range you get a few days after ordering.
  37. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Make sure you thoroughly inspect the car. Someone may have denied it for personal reasons or it could be a defect. Otherwise congrats!
  38. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I think you have like 24 or 48 hours (I think it's 48-72 actually) to report any issues with the vehicle after taking delivery. First I've heard of any mileage rule though.
  39. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Santa Barbara isn't any better haha. My SA has not been any better. He even reached out to me at one point and said "I am still looking for a car for you and should have one in April (this was in March). Like why even reach out unless you found me a car. I reached out about the Matrix headlights...
  40. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Not odd at all. Your vehicle is in transit to the location and they give themselves a day or so to inspect it, clean it, etc.
  41. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I agree. I get that my SA is newer to the company and probably only has limited info (or is strictly told to only give limited info (who knows)), but when I was calling quite literally every day (one of the reps I talked to told me to) at the end of Q1 asking for an unassigned VIN I got so many...
  42. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I think one issue we're running into is that they're mass shipping to mid-states/East Coast. I have a feeling West Coast will be in June at this point (hopefully first or second week). I had one Tesla rep tell me over the phone during the end of the first quarter that he was seeing a potential...
  43. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Hopefully yours is sooner (end of June Q2 push), but most have to wait like 75+ days before VIN assignment recently.
  44. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Got the automated trade in text this morning. My 4 week window still stands at 05/21-06/18. Based on everything that I've seen, the trade in text means nothing, but I hope it means VIN soon.... Update: Either my SA or another SA responded saying that I was close and that they'd mark my account...
  45. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Easier method for source code is search for insurancef . Your vin should be displayed after it I think if you have one.
  46. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    Tried the live chat option. Agent was super nice, but said she could only see the same thing that I could see in the app. Sigh… still no updates since ordering almost 70 days ago -_____-
  47. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I just saw a truck of Teslas (a few blue ones) heading up the 101 in Arroyo Grande. Maybe yours!
  48. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    I’m coming up on my 4 week window in a bit as well. 0 updates. My SA gives me generic answers. Keeps trying to promise that “i’ll have a vehicle before my EDD” (I keep laughing him off).
  49. BaconLord47

    Model 3 - LR AWD Waiting Room

    You would likely get pushed back a few months. You are better off just waiting it out. I can't see them taking more than another week or two depending on your location. They are probably just waiting for the ECU or something else.
