I find 10.6 too dangerous to use. It is a massive regression from 10.5 for my model 3. I’m skipping and waiting for next release. I did a quick Google search and didn’t see any major complaints which surprised me. My car freaks out in the middle of turns, going into oncoming traffic, or...

Let me know if I am not allowed to post this here. I had miserable multi-month long abysmal experience trying to buy a model 3 from Tesla. So now I'm getting rid of these brand new wheels I had planned to use. Tesla model 3 forged racing wheels and tires

Yes. I received it last weekend. Too upset to talk about it.

3rd VIN on the way. Do I have the record yet? 17+ weeks

They were definitely trying to pass off an AWD as a P3. I'm getting mad now.

They could not confirm that the car they were trying to deliver is the car I ordered.

1. they won't let me drive it until I sign on the dotted line that I accept it. Catch-22. 2. I shouldn't have to do something dangerous like try to time a 0-60 on public streets to prove I got what I paid for 3. the burden is on them to prove they are selling me what is listed in the MVPA

Well, third unsuccessful delivery attempt 123 days after configuration, 52 days after full payment. How can you tell if the car is actually performance model? The monroney said it was not, the VIN just says dual motor, the display says dual motor with no underline. But they swear it is...

Shocking how poorly this is going. I paid in full 5 weeks ago and have no car, no outlook on getting a car, no escalation path, just a giant hole in my bank account. They say they are working on it.

I just had someone call me from Tesla. This is the first voice contact I have had from Tesla! Ever! I was super excited to talk to a human. Turns out she just called to see if they could deliver my car, but had no idea of the history or that fact that it had already been attempted. I think...

Agree, but that shouldn’t stop them, any of them, from communicating with me, even to just say they are working on it.

I cannot accept or reject without IDA which won’t talk to me.

Seems like people in TX (except me) are finally starting to get their cars because this thread has slowed way down. So that’s good news. My saga continues. I got a new IDA who is worse than the first one. I got one email Wed and zero information on my car. The SC who is supposedly fixing...

My new Ida cannot get in touch with the SC either. They don’t answer the phone. So I may need to start over. This sucks. My car took 2 weeks to ship from CA after I paid in full (ACH).

My Ida is not communicating with me. I have asked for a replacement.

If I do a carfax check on my never possessed car, will I find a repair on the VIN, destroying any resale value?

No. I finally got ahold of Ida, but waiting to hear back.

does Tesla get credit for my sale because I paid in full and they shipped my car in Q3? Because they seem to have zero interest in actually getting the car to me.

In the spirit of Texas hold up, here’s another story. I ran into my employee while waiting. I didn’t know he had ordered a model 3 (he’s the quiet type). He told me he paid for his car 8/7 and was there (9/21) still trying to pick it up!! I talked to him the next day and learned they said it...

@hmerrill3 your experience is much different than mine. Our backwater SC is populated by people who only do service and delivery. They don’t know anything beyond that and can’t help. They never offer their contact information to me. Not only did I call dozens of times, the folks st the 800...

You are assuming the best case with no more information than I have. I am assuming the worst case, because it’s my $80k at stake. Also, they wouldn’t let me see the car so I assume it looked bad and I might be scared off. Well, now I am. I don’t know who or what an orientation manager is. I...

Now they have removed the VIN from my account. Odd. I finally got ahold of someone at corporate and he could not help me at all. But he said it was weird they didn't ever show me a car, even if it was damaged, and hinted there might not have really been a car. Anyway, according to him, there...

I can't even talk to them to discuss options. I been on the phone all morning trying to get ahold of either pond springs or corporate. I did talk to someone last night after 1 hour hold and he said he was powerless to help me. This is not a real car company. I hate to say it. There is no...

Yes, because the glass is also the roof and it has already rained multiple inches all week while it sat outside and the interior is drenched and will smell like mildew on a brand new $80,000 car. A normal car maker would just find me a nearby match and ship it over. But not Tesla. They...

Congrats! Glad it worked out finally.

thinking about canceling my order. They said they would repair it but it won't be the same as new, or they can assign new VIN after a few weeks. Maybe I should just bail on Telsa and get my $$ back.

They *are* paying for my lyft ride back home. They decided my car is too damaged to deliver. Not sure why it took them a week to decide that. Oh, and waste my time taking off work, etc. I asked my IDA to confirm everything was good to go yesterday and she said yes.

They cant find my car. They paid for my Lyft ride here hopefully they will pay for my Lyft ride home

Been at delivery center over an hour and I still don’t see my car. Wondering if I’m going to find out it’s not ready. I walked the whole parking lot and I don’t see any cars that look like my configuration

So I just got a surprise text from Tesla saying my car is here and can I come get it Friday, which is 4 days early. Oddly, my vin still does not show in UR. It got here in just a couple days because it was still in CA on Friday which is almost 2 weeks after I paid in full. Anyway, I hope the...

I am also a Stephanie customer. 9/25 ETA. There is definitely a mountain of cars about to show up. I hope they are ready.

When I placed the order, the performance package was only 20” wheels/tires, spoiler + cosmetics. So I declined. Later it changed to better brakes, track mode, etc. they told me it would push my delivery to next year to change it and lose the tax credit. So instead I bought 7.6Kg forged...

Stil no VIN and my IDA has dropped off the face of the earth. She was very responsive for about a 6 hour window until I made the ACH transfer. Now 4 unanswered emails.

So I am now paid in full. Still no VIN (I was mistaken that I had one).

@SleepingLesson Awesome!! Was home delivery the new development?

So I have and IDA now. Finally! Bad news is I am stuck getting the car in TX which she said will take a minimum of 3 weeks. So I called Tesla multiple times to express my concern that my car would pop out of the factory and the VIN would be assigned to me, and because I'm in TX, it would be...

@SleepingLesson any update? On the edge of my seat. @CrazyCoconut i just got a VIN literally a few minutes ago after 71 days. Hang in there. I am seriously looking at CA delivery to avoid the TX hold up. We will see.

@SleepingLesson so glad to hear things are looking up for you!

Wait. How did you pay in full without a VIN? They sold you something (very expensive) and can’t just take it back. If you have a loan, the bank expects collateral with that VIN

@SleepingLesson I know it sucks feeling like you are being singled out and not treated fairly, in general, or at least equitably with others. If everyone had similar delays and you were serviced in order the situation would be much less stressful. I'm confident (with no facts) that you are...

Wait, are they blaming you now? That is unacceptable. If they were aware of the delay for that requirement, your IDA should have let you know asap.

mileage is irrelevant if I'm the one driving the car. I have kids so dings are coming. I travel for work so free flight. Good link. I think the extra fees make the idea less appealing. Goes from 7.5% to ~10%. That doesn't sound legal. But this is all probably moot. I talked to Tesla...

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of taking delivery in CA. It keeps them engaged until I get my car before they get the $$. I’ll actually get it sooner. The tax revenue doesn’t go to corrupt TX leadership. The extra 1% tax delta is similar to destination charge. I get to...

So I just read that model 3 requires special jack point pads to protect the battery pack, so you need a shop the uses those with their lift. And apparently they are different than the ones for model S (which is asinine. Thx, Elon) I want to get new wheels installed. Anyone know a shop that...

@SleepingLesson haven’t you paid in full like 6 weeks ago? I would seriously escalate that. You have been polite and patient long enough. They are being negligent and certainly owe you a refund on delivery charge.

Hello. Just joined as this place looks way friendlier than the nasty forums at Tesla.com. I’m still waiting for a VIN. Sad to see all the trouble with deliveries to TX. I’m going to explore delivery in Fremont since I travel there frequently. . Anyone done that? As far as moving out...
