So after coming back home after 7 days away for work, I noticed my car would not respond to either my key cards or my phone. It's parked in an underground garage at my apartment. So, since the doors won't unlock, I ended up having to call Tesla Roadside Assistance and have a tow truck get it...

Yep. Of the 3 most well-known Tesla accessories sellers, 2 are drop-shippers with their office (and main warehouses) in mainland China: Teslaunch and Tesmanian. The most popular one (Teslarati) is at least US-based, with domestic warehouses. But Teslarati’s stuffs are commonly pricier.

Your rear passengers should be able to.

If you don’t get a VIN by Monday morning, you simply won’t make EOQ, in my opinion.

Forget to add mine. 7281.

So, how common is that when you go and pick up your brand new M3, the car's profile is set under someone else's name? I already changed it to my own settings, but when I picked mine up this morning, the driver profile had some random guy's name set up. I'm just going to assume it's a Tesla...

Nice looking red, Happy. I have the same, but Proton tires and not a LR. Picked mine up this morning and just got them finished with the tints. Went only one rung darker than the state limit, so hopefully nobody looked too closely.

Went to pick up my M3 and ended up waiting an hour because I could not click on the “start delivery” button until someone from their Logistics let me start on that. After 80 minutes at the DC, my delivery rep told me I could drive off if I wants and he’ll finalize delivery from his end. 🙄 Aside...

After 9 days of bouncing around several processing centers in China, my floor mats finally “arrived at destination customs.” Where I bet it’ll sit for a few days. Probably should’ve just went with the official Tesla site, eh? 😂

They are from China, yes.

Thanks for the suggestions, you three. I'll see if they can do the whole thing in one piece, but the shop said they wouldn't be ceramic (one-piece only in 3M color stable apparently).

So, tinting. What do you guys with previous Teslas usually do with the back window? Tint the whole thing? Or stop at the “dye line”? The shop I’m headed to tomorrow said most Tesla owners don’t tint the roof because Tesla already have a heat-reflecting layer on top (the one that turns orange...

It’s similar. The exact measurements are different, but not by a significant margin. Your old mats will be “passable” if you aren’t too picky about needing it to fit absolutely perfectly.

Well, the SA got back to me and said it just means the SC finished doing their state inspection after my car arrived at the delivery center early. Still no answer from them if the storage charge is something I should be worried about or if it's something to ignore.

Yeah, I replied. Haven't heard back from whoever at the SC sent the message. Also asked my SA about it, just waiting to hear back. They also left a voicemail on my cell, lol...I would've assumed they'd have seen that they're calling the wrong number.

So, a question for the current/existing Tesla owners. I just received a message in the app from my SC (which is also the same as my delivery location). It thanked me for servicing my Tesla and said that they've parked my car outside, and will start charging me storage fees if I don't pick it up...

Looks like a few folks up in Canada are getting white interiors deliveries in the next 2 weeks. Are they from the China factories, or are Canadians using Fremont?

Anyone know if I'm able to order a custom license plate while I am at the delivery center on pickup date? Or do I just have to do it myself when I get home instead?

How long did it take you to receive the mat from Haloblk? I’m considering buying the frunk mat but my DD is next Friday.

Yeah, my delivery center is Tyson's Corner in Vienna. Closest one to DC for me, although was surprised the Arlington center wasn't available to me. 2nd day. I wasn't able to make the 21st, since I would be returning on a work trip that morning.

So...tinting. What are yall's suggestions for how dark you normally go for tint percentages? I'm trying to figure out if I should get my car tinted or not. Would a 35% tint be a bit much if I still want to look out the windows (without having to rely too much on the side/back cameras)?

I just scheduled a delivery for my Ultra Red M3 for March 22 (next Friday) in the DC/NoVA area. A good thing, since I'm moving out to the suburb in April. Can't imagine having to walk almost a full mile to the nearest metro station during the winter. Fortunately, no push-back on my one-week EDD...

Depends. Usually a VIN means your vehicle will be placed on a railcar pretty soon. From Fremont to the Atlantic coast is about 10-20 days, depending on where along the coast you are (if you’re near Cali, that’s still a week at least). So, even if you finished your insurance section…you still...

Hm, maybe the white interiors are finally getting rolled up from Fremont soon.

Congrats. My post-Vin EDD is 3/19-26. I’ll be doing a demo drive of a MY this afternoon, I might as well go see if my M3 could come in before the 19th. Not too optimistic.

Those white seat covers look nice. But do they cover up the perforations on the cushions?

Sound like things are looking up for you, Sydney. That’s good, and with not a whole lot of time left before your delivery to boot!

Also, I don't need to finish the Insurance and Final Payment tabs on the Tesla app until the day of delivery, right? If so, I'll go ahead and leave those tasks alone until I have the actual delivery date. Here's hoping the exact date shows up sometime next week.

RWD. Ultra Red, black interior, default Nova tires.

What's the link to the M3 Google Sheets? I'm trying to see if the link I have in my Chrome history is the right one. If it is...well, someone deleted all the data from the Fremont tab again. :rolleyes: Also, I finally got my VIN tonight, with EDD3 of 3/19-3/26. Pretty quick turnaround after...

Ooo, hoping good luck that it’s on time for you. Waiting is always the most stressful.

The DC location (it's the only Tesla location in the capitol).

First post for me here. I’m in the DC/NoVA area. Model: 3, SR Color: Ultra Red, white interior (now black) Order date: 1/19 EDD1: 2/19-3/18 EDD2: 3/4-3/31 I decided to take a demo drive of the MS today, and also spoke with the SA there. He told me that while my range shows 3/4-3/31, the Tesla...
