So glad I'm not alone with this problem. 1 1/2" rise (vertical slab, not an incline) for me and my new M3 on Summon acts like a stray puppy hesitant to approach a kind stranger. Worse backing in. Other solutions here: Summon on a steep incline..no go. Guess I'm heading to Home Depot to buy a...

I just got my Model 3 a few days ago and have plans to hang out downtown tonight (Master Pancake @ Drafthouse Ritz). Does anyone have a great go-to garage in downtown ATX that's safe/lightly-used/hidden so we can have a chance of emerging dingless? A charger would be a bonus, but not what I'll...

Hope she likes the actual car more than the Tesla personnel and overall delivery experience. Funny, my wife didn't drive it yesterday, either - it was just too late by the time my hands were pried off of the wheel. All through this she has said I've been too nice, though.

Hey @patoirish , I'm pretty sure you and I were there are the same time yesterday. We were the couple + manic toddler. Sorry about your experience and bad luck with the car. And dealing with a long wait is so much more difficult with a baby. We got a little luckier. So we got to go in...

Thanks, @patoirish. I am stressing as well, waiting for a phone call that will tell me not to show up, that they found something. Also stressing that I may let little things go just to take possession of the car when I really should resist and refuse, or tell them to fix stuff, if need be...

Cue Thus Spake Zarathustra

A few more pix from about an hour ago:

I called just to get some reassurance about my Saturday delivery and was informed that they are inspecting my car now. Yay, cool. Then he uttered the most beautiful words, "Want to pick it up today?" Uh, shhyeah. They say they'll call if anything comes up during the inspection, but hopefully...

Thanks for the idea. I completely forgot you can look at VINs on the dashboard, duh. Might be a good thing not to have found it outside. The grassy corner seemed to have contained cars with writing, plus some with QR codes on stickers on their windshields. A little less writing (or none)...

Inspired by @patoirish's approach, I went back to Pond Springs to check VINs. And I found my car! It seems fine, sitting out there on the paved part of the lot. I took pictures all the way around to analyze at home. Wonder if they really are going to make me wait till Saturday to get it...

We drove by Pond Springs yesterday and saw that the lot was full, as was a grassy field adjacent. FULL full of cars, mostly 3s, and about 6-8 that matches my config. Today at noon, we saw that a lot of those cars were no longer there. Based on the timing (Sunday to holiday Monday at noon) and...

A few quick photos of the Pond Springs location from a few hours ago. You can see the lot is loaded with 3s, so full I'm not sure where they'd put any others (maybe around back). I saw one that matched my config that was covered in dust (rail dust?). I have a pretty common config, so who...

Awesome @amietk ! Guessing your VIN didn't show up on United Road, either? Yes, I've had a bottle of champagne chilling in the fridge for a couple weeks now. Ready to pop that sucker. Eventually.

Thanks! Now that the outage is over, I don't see any change on my page. Still saying delivery Sept 8 for me. Based on the conversation here today, I believe you can call your local service center to get hooked up with a text alert for when your car moves, but I didn't get that far with my guy...

Ha. I hope you are not the last one in the THU phantom zone. We were previously scheduled on the same day so maybe yours is coming in soon. Oh, yes, when I heard the news I forgot to even ask about texting and he didn't bring it up. Didn't realize internet stuff was going on.

Thanks @TX_Drivetime . Really interesting about the account page being unavailable. It's never been unavailable for me for this long, so maybe it isn't just account changes. Or maybe it is, who knows. Good reminder about the checklist. I have a stack of paper I've had sitting on a...

Texas Hold Up friends, I called to ask about how to opt in to text tracking, and Luke told me that my car is in Austin! Just arrived, it sounded like he said. It was hard to hear through my tears. They said they would do the inspection, etc. then schedule an appointment. I didn't mention...

That's new to me. I'm not sure about anyone else, but I for one would like to get in on this text message program.

Has any Austin person with a car in a holding lot (Oklahoma) -ever- seen their VIN come through on United Road? The Origin for the cars on United Road always seems to be Lathrop, never Oklahoma, etc. I suppose that could always mean Lathrop is the ultimate origin. Just wondering if maybe the...

High-five @SleepingLesson! And happy early birthday! But you're right. Let's not get our hopes up!

Wait what? I "happened" to check my account page just now (for the 100th time today) and suddenly see a Sept 8 delivery appointment! No VIN, but as the theory goes, I won't see that till a week before. Jenifer Tesla has not contacted me. But she's real busy. Yay Austin.

Hope the same for you, @amietk. Even though honestly every time I see someone getting theirs, it feels like a cellmate making bond and getting released from the Texas Hold Up! jail while we're still stuck staring through the cold jail cell bars (even though we've already paid our fine)...

I only know where mine is from Dylan, who seems to span space and time and is located in both Texas and California. He told me the car is "on its last little leg of the journey" , being "5-6 hours away." That was weeks ago and before my first delayed delivery date. Google Maps puts Tinker AFB...

Not me! I think those United Road deliveries are all coming directly from CA, right? Those of us in OKC Purgatory haven't figured out how to trace how they are getting cars from there to ATX to my knowledge. Or maybe the reason is, they aren't. I, too, have a Tesla charger glowing mockingly...

Thanks, @jprac80. Seeing evidence of activity in that lot is reassuring. Based on Tesla telling me that my car is just 5-6 hours away, and with that lot being a 5 1/2 hour trip from Austin, I bet that's where mine is. Wonder why some of the cars are covered and some are not? Guess they are...

Thanks, @hmerrill3. That happens not to be my VIN, though. To be more specific, I'm 0282xx. Not entirely sure why we'd not just share that complete info, but I guess a bad person could use it. Big thanks to the Pond Springs VIN provider! Seems to me like there's a steady pump of Model 3s...

Actually, @TX_Drivetime, I'm in the same situation. My old car registration expires at the end of the month, too, and I was hoping not to have to pay that. True about VINs disappearing till you get closer to the delivery date. My delivery date (was originally today) is gone, replaced with...

Never was really sure where it was. My original VIN never showed up in the trucking tracker. Dylan told me it was just a few hours away, but I'm not buying that because the VIN wouldn't need to disappear. Feels to me like they are going to give me a new VIN. If/when that happens, I'll try...

My unfortunate update: Dylan "from here in Austin" (?) called 90 minutes before my delivery time to tell me the car was not here and they'd call me just as soon as it arrived. Noticed my VIN has disappeared. If they are swapping cars, I wonder what that will do to my paperwork with the CU...

Thanks for the optimistic words, Wayne...nice to see a mention of good ol' HEB in this Texas thread. :). HEB parking will now have to be one of the first features I'll try, I'm sure. Maybe tomorrow, maybe some day.

So after being told that my delivery specialist would call me today to confirm tomorrow's appointment, guess what? Right. No call. So I have no confirmation after calling probably 3 times this week and being told the same thing - the delivery specialist will call (and nothing, no email, no...

Thanks. I'll definitely report back. Not feeling hopeful, though. All seems fine on my account page (VIN and delivery appointment still there), but I just called to try to get some confirmation (called the main line this time. Only a five minute wait.) Customer Service person was...

Same here. I get no results at all with either a full or partial VIN in that tracker. My delivery is scheduled for tomorrow, also in Austin.

I just got my FedEx registration/title paperwork. Yay for that. But someone at Tesla has a real fun sense of humor. "Please do not date any form". No kidding. Cool Tesla logo on the sticky note, though.

That's a bummer, especially losing a day off for that. Did they call you the same day you were supposed to take delivery?

Dylan is in California? Plot twist. My Delivery Advisor all along has been Jenifer. She's quick with the good news, but hard to get a status from otherwise. Haven't heard from her in weeks.

@amietk , wonder if your VIN disappeared because now you're outside of the 7-day window for the VIN being on the account page (not that that's an official thing, but that's a theory floating around). I'm due to get delivery at Pond Springs on 8/25 and my VIN is still there...for now. It...

My scheduled delivery is Aug 25. About a week ago when I called Austin/Pond Springs, they told me it was 5-6 hours away (so I'm assuming Limbo, Oklahoma). Now, when I call them to confirm my date, Pond Springs "don't have any visibility" and refer me to my delivery advisor. My delivery...

I happened to catch this last night and thought the same thing - If they really got hit from behind at 40-50 mph while they were at a dead stop, it's amazing how they just shook it off, no problem. However, the damage to the car seemed very slight, like a minor fender-bender. Made me wonder...

I'm in Austin and my config is the same as several of us on here: LR RWD MSM Aeros EAP. My VIN appeared on my page on Saturday, a week before my scheduled delivery of 8/25. When I called last week, they told me that the car was on its "last little leg of the journey", being about 5-6 hours away...

My MVPA said 50 as well. Still awaiting delivery.

Thought I'd contribute a little: RWD LR MSM 18 EAP Paperwork, financing etc complete after about two weeks of "contract drafting". Delivery scheduled for Pond Springs in Austin on 8/25. VIN available in MVPA, but has never showed on my account page, so a little anxious about a potential delay...
