    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I came back today just to see if you got your car yet or pulled out of the process from frustration. Glad to see that you took delivery and are enjoying the car. They really are worth waiting for. Have a great time with it! :D

    Sorry to see that @Flatbroke still doesn't have a car yet. o_O

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Everyone should be aware that when you pay for the car (or the down payment) with an ACH payment, Tesla will add that account as your DEFAULT payment method for any other purchases you make going forward (EAP, accessories, premium connectivity, etc.) If you want to use the credit card you used...

    For less than $100 you can do a front plate wrap in CA. https://www.motor1.com/news/590018/how-to-get-front-license-plate-wrap-california/ The plate holder included by Tesla in my car is a "no holes" frame that is installed with double-sided tape. If you don't trust the tape, you can buy this...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Me neither. Only the J1772 adapter and the 120V NEMA 5-15 Adapter came with the mobile connector kit in my trunk. I had already bought a 6-50 adapter because that's what I have in the garage on a 40A 220V circuit (they were not back-ordered at the time and still aren't). It charges fine @ 32A...

    That has got to be a forum waiting room record--four days from order to delivery? "@Furlowed" is now the opposite of "@Flatbroked." :)

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    OK, this is my graduation day post. The car was delivered yesterday, but late in the afternoon, so I had little time to inspect it. I checked the outside, drove it around the block and put it in the garage, then connected it to our wifi network and went to dinner and bed. Had a software update...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I took home delivery after questioning how much time I would have to inspect the car before accepting it, and they said I would have as much time as it took for the driver to catch an Uber back to the SC, but if I had any quality problems before the first 100 miles were driven that I could ask...

    It must stop recording if you put it in track mode, no? Otherwise, a day of autocross or track driving would kill your rating. :eek: My quote was $119/mo. from Tesla, but my agent added it to my Farmer's policy for less. :)

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I ordered the same spec as you three days earlier (5/24), and my car is being delivered this Monday, 6/20, so unless you are subject to the "Flatbroke curse," you may get an updated EDD sooner than July. It does seem that recent orders are getting later dates, though, so the End of Quarter...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I haven't taken delivery yet, it's scheduled for Monday. Have you gotten your car yet? It says in your sig file you're getting it today. What came with it?

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    He ordered on the same day I did. Did he check the Mobile Connector box and pay the extra $200 when ordering his car?
  13. Old Stewball

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    And yet in the shop page for the Mobile Connector it does not show or mention the J1772 adapter. I asked my SA about this discrepancy since my order came after the cutoff for free Mobile Connectors and I had to pay $200 for one, and he said they no longer came with the kit, so I ordered one...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    The article suggests that it is the highly backlogged models getting the price increases because Tesla can't predict what the costs will be for them to build those cars 6-12 months from now, given the inflationary environment. The M3P does not seem to have as big a backlog of orders (yet).

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    OK, I get it now. I definitely would be willing to ask my SA about your order. Send me a direct message with the RN. Just got my delivery invitation for Monday, June 20. That would be 4 days short of one month from order to delivery if it happens. Pretty impressive compared to other marques at...

    OK, I am not hip enough to grasp your meaning, I guess. A google search on this phrase led me to "486 RN jobs available in Big Flats, NY."

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Well, shut my mouth! After coming to terms with my anxiety and going back to researching mods for my car after it arrives, I go to shut down my laptop for the evening and give the Tesla account browser window a little refresh before I close it and BOOM, there's a VIN below my order number! I'm a...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    OK, even though my EDD window has just begun, and there is plenty of room for things to turn out well and no real reason for me to feel left behind, forgotten or ignored, these posts inspired me to reach out to my SA just to see if he had any transparency on my order beyond his original text to...

    I'm in the same boat. Last time this happened on June 12, they pushed my first date to June 15.

    I've heard nothing either; same 6/15-6/25 EDD window

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Mine is lower case in the app and upper case in the web portal. No change in dates, no VIN, they're just giving me something to wonder about besides when my effing car will be here. 🤪🥵🤬

    First timer for Tesla. Already own a Leaf and a Bolt, and waited 2 years for a Taycan then turned it down and got my deposit back.

    Sorry to hear that. Mine updated overnight as well, but went to Estimated Delivery: June 15 - June 26.

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    I am in the same boat here. Still showing 6/12-26 with no VIN or text notifications after the trade-in text, which I turned down. I have been worried about getting pushed back after seeing the messages from Ben and RedRocket, but it's still holding steady on the first day of my window. Hope to...

    Yeah, I had some interest in the Mach-E GT w/performance package and found one in stock at a local dealer. Called them about it and they said they'd sell it for $10k over MSRP. I told them someone might buy it but I wasn't that guy. Then I read some more reviews about it and complaints about...

    M3P - Who switched from a (true) sports car?

    I'm a 25-year PCA member, have owned 8 different Porsches, the last a 991 GT3, along with a Zink Formula Ford, A LeGrand D-Sports racer, a Lotus 7 clone with a Honda S2000 engine, and a SBC-powered Ultima GTR. I'm changing to a M3P because I'm getting old and my days at the big tracks are over...

    I was on the Lyris mailing list that preceded Rennlist called Porschephiles in the late '90s, then John Dunkle took it over and started Porschelist until Porsche AG sent him a cease and desist letter and he changed the name to Rennlist. I contributed to him buying the first server in '99 along...

    I ordered the car on May 24, and my account now shows: Estimated Delivery: June 12 - June 26 I'm hoping to get a VIN and delivery date in the next few weeks. I was pretty impressed with the test drive I took. It's definitely a lot better than any EV I have driven. I was on the waitlist for a...

    Thanks for the info. I'm working on my post count. 😀 I took a M3P test drive for a half hour at the local Tesla Store and ordered one the next day!

    Hello from San Diego!!!

    Hi Brandon- I'm in a similar situation--ordered my M3P the day before you! I found a downloadable checklist for delivery inspection and links to loads of accessories and mods in the comments on this video:

    Hiya, I've been a Porschephile for over 60 years, since my dad took me for rides in his 356 when I was a pre-teen. We've also been EV drivers since 2011, when my wife got her Nissan Leaf, replaced in 2019 by a Chevy Bolt. She hasn't been to a gas station in 11 years, now, and doesn't intend to...

    I discussed timelines extensively with him on my original test drive visit to the store, as I was hoping to get it in time to do a road trip to Las Vegas for my granddaughter's wedding. An alternative he mentioned to waiting for delivery if the timeline was extended into late July or August was...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    That 2 1/2 to 3 months lead time was what I expected going into this, and was pleasantly surprised by my initial EDD of June 28-August 2. Then my SA saying that he had visibility of the production schedule and estimating that it would be even sooner made me even more hopeful, though I realize...

    Model 3 Performance Waiting Room

    Newbie here--first post. Ordered my M3P on May 24 and installed the app, did my 'next steps' and got an estimated delivery date of June 28-August 2, 2022. Four days later, my adviser texted me that the build was scheduled for 6/18, and that delivery would be only a few days later, since it's...
