I have my delivery scheduled for Saturday. The agent mentioned there was an issue with the interface around the time we spoke (around 1pm Pacific), but he was then able to update the account. I can get onto the site and see details now.

Black, 5-seater -- no contact about delivery yet, aside from the mobile connector credit. I placed the order for the connector. There was some confusion earlier when I spoke with Tesla about whether it comes with the NEMA 14-50 adapter. Did anyone who got their mobile connector recently see...

Got my VIN today and delivery window changed to 9/22-9/29. :)

My EDD window moved and narrowed from 9/16-9/30 to 9/22-10/2. No VIN yet. MYLR/Blue/5 seat/tow/19" - order date was 1/28/22

I got the same "We plan to build and deliver your Model Y in September" text. I also got the trade-in offer a few days ago. It came it at the bottom end of the estimate range from the beginning of August. I think we're about 99% sure we'll go with a private sale or another car buying service...

My EDD is now 9/16-9/30, and my account is open with the "Prepare for Delivery" prompt. No VIN yet, though. I am trying to get an updated trade-in estimate from Tesla for my 2018 Long Range Model 3. One of the stipulations is that the car has not been in an accident. The car did have a minor...

I got another update 2 days ago -- new EDD is Sept. 16-30. Still no VIN yet. I hope delivery isn't chaotic if it falls on the last few days of the month. The discussion about the mobile connector makes me wonder whether I should just keep the one I have for the Model 3 when we trade it in or...

I got an adjustment to my EDD -- a very small adjustment: Sept 4-18 to.... Sept 5-19 Maybe just letting me know they're doing something?

EDD updated from Aug 24 - Sep 21 to Sep 4 - Sep 18. No VIN yet. So that you don't have to scroll back: ordered Jan 28 MYLR/blue/black/5 seat/19"/tow/basic autopilot

Yesterday, I got a text asking if I was ready to take delivery (YES!), followed by one confirming my payment method. Still no VIN, but... soon? Hopefully not Elon-soon...

At first, I thought there were no blue cars in those shots, but later in the video, it looks like the color just doesn't stand out well in the early morning light. I hadn't seen a recent flyover video -- that is quite the example of organized chaos!

I ordered on 1/28/22 Blue/5 seat/black interior/tow/no FSD I had EDD of Aug 9 - Sep 6 for a while but now EDD is Aug 24 - Sep 21. I did get the text about a trade-in offer, but radio silence since then (2 weeks ago). Aaaaaaand.... I'm back to checking this thread because of the hope that I...

Most people who could configure (and who took delivery of) their 3 before March 2018 already owned a Tesla. February/March 2018 configurations would have been when first time owners (like me) started getting invitations. I configured at the end of March 2018 and took delivery during the 2nd week...

There is an event data recorder (EDR, or black box) in the Model 3. If the airbags didn't deploy, I'm not sure it would have triggered. You would think that it should. Tesla would know for sure. If it did, it would store the state of the car for the last 10 seconds (maybe a bit longer) before...

If you can manage the insurance costs, driving to DF from the U.S. just became a lot quicker with the opening of the Matehuala Supercharger. I'd love to hear stories from the first Tesla owners to make the trip.

I was checking my Tesla account too often while waiting to configure and waiting for my VIN. I saw the VIN assigned after midnight - technically it would have been April 3. I got the call from Tesla on Wednesday afternoon - a bit over a day and a half after getting my VIN. And thank you! Yes...

When you login to your account, it replaces your reservation number. When you click on the link to info on your Model 3, it appears below your reservation number.

Congratulations! And thank you for all your work on the spreadsheet keeping track of all this. I hope people understand why you will have less time for that soon when you have your 3 to drive. :D

VIN VIN VIN VIN VIN VIN VIN!!! (Will I be having wine to celebrate? If so, what VINtage?) Checked for what probably would have been the last time before going to sleep, and now it's going to be that much harder to sleep. 1316X See signature for specs. Let me go re-read everyone else's...

Someone gave me a Model 3 license plate frame as a gift. Maybe that one will go on the front. Or I can mount a clock in it and wear it as an oversize necklace, thus appropriating Flavor Flav's look.

I can't imagine taking any current Tesla model out to the Racetrack. Even the X, with its higher clearance, is going to get beat up by that washboard road. I want to see what range they have with the pickup, as that would seem to be the appropriate vehicle.

INVITE INVITE INVITE INVITE INVITE!!!!!! Line-waiter in Buena Park, CA, 2016-03-31 - reservation about 12:10pm; had March-May delivery estimate. Yes, I'll go update the spreadsheet. And I thought I had been checking the site frequently up to now.... Now looking forward to when I can post...

Despite the estimator getting me to within 6 weeks of my Model 3 several times, now it is showing less than a month for the first time. No invite to configure yet - hoping for that this week. (oh please oh please oh please oh please) I want to believe. (or, if you prefer the angsty, whiny NIИ...

There might be a solution for that. (Skip to 12:45)

Yikes! Sorry you had to deal with this. I wish there was better monitoring/higher fines for having items like this come loose from vehicles. Do we know whether the Model 3 has the titanium plate across the front like the S and the X for protecting the battery? That damage looks like it's some...

Thanks for the comment and suggestion. The CPO options are still a stretch, and if I'm going to stretch for it, it has to be a 100% car - that is, I have to be able to use it for 100% of the cases I can think of regularly using it. This includes trips to somewhat remote locations (like Death...

At this point, I have burned through all the lease extensions that Mercedes Benz has allowed for my smart EV. I will be returning it tomorrow. This means I'll be back to an ICE and burning gasoline to get to and from work. The smart was charged from either my SolarCity installation or the...

Congratulations! Looks like I arrived at Buena Park about 15-20 minutes before you configured. Thus, I was a bit under 2 hours behind you. I forget the last time i stood in a line that long. Our relative reservation times might be a good marker for how invitations are progressing. I just...

I wish I could find this portion of the episode without the Italian dubbed over it, but it will still get the point across: Perhaps it is even more relevant as Tesla evolves into a potential AI platform and all of our cars become Cylons - seems to be a concern of Elon's. May we get our...

I feel this video is easily adaptable to this situation. (No availability to configure for me, yet, but I placed my order in person a bit after noon at the Buena Park, CA store.)

And almost an hour later, still the same error... You know this waiting illness is bad when 502 errors make us speculate wildly.

With each check of my Tesla account, I am considering extending the lease on my smart EV by yet another month. It's cheap enough, MB has been accommodating with this (though, really, what good would returning a 2014 model do them at this point?), and our household would prefer not to be down to...

Non-owner here with an in-store 2016-03-31 reservation. No, you don't have to remind me that two SolarCity PV installations and PowerWalls don't count. (Even if I slightly passive aggressively drop that information on my own.) A good bit of my daily routine can now be replaced by a program...

Part of the commissioning process is establishing communication with the Tesla mothership. I guess you can try it, but I'm pretty sure this sort of activity would trigger attention.

I think this is correct, especially considering the delivery centers they have already invested in here. It makes me really glad I took a few hours to go stand in line on 2016-03-31.

I feel like there's a part of the report that keeps getting overlooked in these comments. "In addition to Q4 deliveries, about 2,520 Model S and X vehicles and 860 Model 3 vehicles were in transit to customers at the end of the quarter. These will be counted as deliveries in Q1 2018. "Q4...

If you want optimism from very limited data, I put in values for a friend who bought an early Model S, and the estimator said they should take delivery in 14 days. They're getting theirs delivered this week. Yay for a single data point being 2 weeks early? I'm going to let a tiny portion of my...

I had not seen a Model 3 in the wild until about half an hour ago... ...when VIN 1130 turned onto my street. SpaceX employee - car is white with 19" wheels. It was great to be able to get such a close-up look and walk around it a few times. Driver was on the phone, coming to pick someone up, so...

I have been checking on the status of this for SoCal Edison applications at the weekly statewide report. You can get to this document through this link. Scroll down to "9. Reports" and click on the weekly statewide report to download it. The last few columns of this sprawling spreadsheet are...

I still haven't seen one in person, but I found this shot on Instagram.

There are 1440 minutes in a day, and robots don't sleep. 1440 x 7 = 10,080 minutes. If only one set of robot operations were allowed on one car moving down the line at a time, I could see your point. But because they are all running in parallel - once the system is running smoothly - I don't...

I can get to the front page, but when I try to login to my account, I get this: What does it mean? It means we need to stop obsessing and get some sleep... (Oh yeah, like "stop obsessing" is going to happen until we have the key cards in our hands and the app to our own Model 3s on our...

We are on SCE. We have a 3kW array which was later bolstered by a separate 4kW array (both leased from SolarCity). The past July, we installed 2 Powerwalls. We mostly run off of solar and batteries from 8 or 9am until midnight or so. Sometimes the battery lasts later into the night until it...

This has been my back-and-forth set of choices for a while now. I've had red cars before - sometimes because it's what was available, sometimes because I wanted a color that would stand out and be more visible to other drivers. If I had to configure about 4 weeks ago, I would have picked red...

This poll directly relates to why my wife and I have been resistant to being upsold from the 3. The 3 will be able to handle 90-95% of the driving we do. Vacations to hotels? No problem. Trips to her parents' place? No problem. Me going camping by myself? No problem. Me going out to do...

When my Powerwalls were first installed in mid-July, the app displayed software version 1.3.3. This is also visible in some of the screen shots of the app elsewhere in the Tesla Energy forum here. This past weekend, it looks like there was an upgrade to 1.5.1. This isn't for the app; this is...

Be careful with terminology/units. kWh <--- kilowatt-hours If you multiply power by time, you get energy. Your batteries (home/car/phone/etc.) store a certain amount of energy. For the Powerwall2, this is around 14 kWh. So let's say you turn on a hair dryer that uses 2000 watts, or 2 kW. 14...

I was going to vote "Only on long trips" and then realized the energy I would need to put into thinking about adding/removing them each time vs. how much I will actually care. That consideration got me to vote "Always".

I had Tesla contacting me repeatedly about a final contract after my installation was complete. It turns out, because they didn't need to do a main panel upgrade, they were attempting to return $2400 to me. After it became clear this is what they were trying to do, I signed the final contract...
