I'm so torn on this. Was originally pissed I had to give up my '21 lease, now I'm obviously happy for the refreshed model. But lease or finance, keep going back and forth

Same! I am near LA too (in Ventura county specifically…)

I think the white interior variant seems to be prioritised compared to black. I ordered Stealth Grey with Black interior (UAE). My EDD has remained May-June since order placement. I was browsing Tesla UAE website and saw a Black Model 3P with White interior in transit and available to order.

After reading through all 35 pages and the highland thread I think EDDs should be taken with a grain of salt. There are base M3 and M3LR purchases from January that got pushed back 3-4+ times. There have been reports of VINs being assigned months before the “EDD”
At this point it’s basically patience and not to get frustrated how someone has a significantly earlier date than you. The cars come when when they come. They might come after January for all we know

and no reports of the 3 performance production (Fremont) and transports showing them.
There is actually a really easy answer to this question. If you qualify for the tax credit and you can pay cash then buying the new car is a MUCH better financial decision than leasing it. If you need a loan then even a ~6% interest rate with the tax credit will be a better financial decision than the lease.I'm so torn on this.

The issue with the lease is that the interest rate is just dumb. It is the single worst lease interest rate I have ever seen. However, it automatically gets the tax credit regardless of vehicle price and income. The tax credit can offset the terrible lease interest. Plus the lease protects you against severe depreciation as Tesla inevitably lowers the MSRP.
This confirms what one of the Service Advisors in NorCal told me, the LA folks are going to be behind the wheel of the new M3P at least a week before anyone else.
Including those of us who can literally smell the paint from the Fremont factory! Not fair!
If 2 cars are built at the same time, but 1 has to get shipped across the country. The one going to Boston will obviously have a 2 week later EDD. Isn’t this obvious? I can’t figure out how this is even a discussion.
What is your location? I doubt you would have that EDD if you were on the East Coast.
If some have an EDD of today or the next few days, why would Tesla do this? Do you think it's possible some cars are actually at delivery locations getting their PDI's done, and Elon is gonna give them the green light any day now to start assigning customer VINs and delivery dates? This will be my 3rd new Tesla, and from what I remember about my previous deliveries, is things move very quickly after the first VIN is assigned... (I had one of the first refresh 2021 model 3 long ranges in Colorado)
I am, but the regular Model 3 highland has very good build quality. So I'm thinking the same for the M3P.
I suspect they're gonna take lessons they're learning from the non-P's and apply it to P's. Most of the car's Exterior/Interior is pretty much the same. Stuff like LED strip alignment, etc is likely pretty common between P/non-P. Same for sound proofing. On the other hand, different suspension...
Hopefully we’ll benefit from the delays in the Highland launch! Having said that the revised M3LR I demo’d was much improved and already impressive to my eye.
They have no marketing team right now. Who's going to give/lend "influencers" cars without a marketing department?
