Take it with a grain of salt. Some people have had decent luck changing their colors.

Let's wait until someone actually drives it on a track IN Track Mode before we make any assumptions.

Yeah, I thought I saw a slight indentation under the charging port when I picked up my car in 2018. I was so excited to get the car and finally have it after almost 2.5 years of waiting that I didn't schedule to have it fixed. Fast forward to now and I've been staring at that damn ding in the...

It's fine. They're just working out the assembly line kinks for us before they give us our VINs.

Yes @sdawg in the next city over from me got their VIN today and delivery tomorrow. (DESPITE THEM ORDERING TWO DAYS AFTER ME BUT I'M NOT BITTER. IT'S FINE. EVERYTHING IS FINE!)

This is awesome. Thanks for the making and sharing the post!

I got mine delivered in Bellevue, but that was in 2018. Maybe it changed.

That's super awesome, @sdawg! Happy for you. Now I just need to avoid seeing you driving it around Issaquah until I get mine as I was really hoping to be the first one I saw. Ha ha. (Also, if you drive past a silver Model 3 and the driver starts waving and honking to you like a maniac, that'd be...

Of course, we'll keep the brake calipers red. :)

I actually kind of prefer that. I'm OK with someone thinking I'm just some regular sedan and leaving them at the light thinking, "Holy *sugar*! That's a fast car. What was that!?" :) Plus cops.

That's interesting because the prevailing theory here seemed to be that the VIN is assigned after the car comes off the assembly line and then you have to wait for your car to be transported to your location. However, you got your VIN today and were able to schedule delivery for tomorrow...

I actually think it looks pretty good. Add some tinted windows and it'll look freakin' awesome.

Ah! You're right next to me! (Issaquah) :) Congrats!

Little known fact: it's actually what pushed Arthur Peck into madness and eventually into the Joker.

If you were stating what you thought was an objective fact, then it might ruffle some feathers, but it's just your opinion, so have at it. I don't really like hardly any of the Tesla colors. I just dislike stealth gray the least. Tesla got rid of the only color I like for the Model 3, the...

I feel bad for these poor chumps getting their VINs and deliveries so quickly. They don't get to experience the level of anticipation, excitement, and appreciation that comes from waiting longer than their peers. We're the lucky ones! ;)

In 2018 before I got my Model 3, I started noticing all of the different cars in WA that don't have front plates and decided to take my chances and go without. No issues in almost 6 years.

I don't get it at all, and I have a feeling that if things were reversed and automobiles were transitioning from EVs to ICEs, reviewers would be rating down the ICEs because they're not as quiet as the EVs. They'd be asking for more sound-proofing. People just don't like change and are...

Sorry, but most likely, the garage parking attendant took it for a joy ride...

Woohoo! I've noticed that PNW deliveries once VIN is received is pretty quick, within a week max. At least that's encouraging.

Yes. See my post maybe a dozen posts ago. I've had it updated every day for 5-6 days... twice. Super fun.

Intellectually, I know from past experience that EDDs don't mean anything. But for my inner child that wants to believe, Tesla has cruelly designed my string of EDDs to provide the maximum excitement day by day while continuing to deliver the most disappointment possible. May - June June May...

I never would have guessed that being in New England would give you a better chance of getting a VIN than being from Oregon or Washington. Ha!

The joke is that you have the same configuration as me, ordered after me, live in the same general vicinity as me, and got a VIN before me. Joke's on me! LOL. Happy for you though. :)

What was your EDD before you received your VIN?

YES!

Oooh! Great idea!

So white was originally prioritized everywhere except where I live? That doesn't even surprise me at all. LOL

Took about 20 minutes to get used to it. A few weeks to get good at it. Have it pretty much mastered now and hate driving without it.

All I see are boobs.

So I guess while they were running the white interiors in the first few weeks, none of those went to the PNW, if that's true. Awesome. LOL

Congrats, @adz0rd! I ordered the day before you, but SG/W. There's no rhyme or reason to any of this. LOL

I went in the opposite direction. My EDD had been changing to the next day (with a week range) basically since May 12th, and today it jumped to June 8 - 22. I'm starting to get the feeling that these EDDs don't mean anything! ;)

You don't say!

Great... I'm gonna be back to checking my phone every 3 minutes for a VIN...

YESSSSSSSS!

No VIN for me. I would for sure let everyone know. :)

I saw a guy trying to beat a Plaid with the Demon. He had all of his seats out including his passenger seat to reduce weight and still couldn't do it. That was in PERFECT track conditions. That Demon won't beat the new M3P on the street....

I wrote today through the app because I'm traveling for a few weeks starting in mid-June. Wanted to see what they'd say. They responded a couple hours later.

Totally. I did consider that possibility. Every time I check the forum, I just want to see one person from the PNW with a VIN. I don't even care if it's me!

I thought the new M3Ps were considered 2025s.

Just got a message in the Tesla app that says, "We are now just starting to see customers being matched to VINS for the performance Model 3 as of today. Within the next week or so you should see a VIN number matched to your order." This is why I don't trust Tesla employees when it comes to...

The fact that no M3Ps have been delivered to OR/WA tells me that this is not the strategy.

And the actual, real-world non-track performance.

It's almost like anything north of Fremont on the West Coast has been forgotten by Tesla.

Yep. Exactly.

Because people don't understand. I talked to a couple of ladies the other day that were ripping on Teslas and when I spoke up, their main gripe was that I couldn't go up mountains and then get home. Their exact question was, "If you go up to the pass, how do you get home?" I had to ask them to...

The thing is that a lot of those "faster" cars aren't faster in the real world. The fastest car I found was the Dodge Challenger SRT Demon 170. It's 0-60 is 1.66 seconds. But the conditions and the driving have to be PERFECT (enthusiast driver, on a track in the right temperature, no passenger...

Same, @brianman!

I've had it 7 times this month.
