    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Do we know of all the countries that Tesla currently sells to, how many have started deliveries. Curious if Canada is the only country that hasn’t seen deliveries yet ?

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I don’t garage my Tesla. I go through car washes regularly. I’ve had bird poop on for days. Never waxed or coated, and my paint (2018 White) looks the same as any other car close to 6 years old. It definitely has the typical spider web patterns in certain lighting, but nothing else. I do take...

    Model 3 Performance (Canada) Waiting Room

    I’m sure this was discussed somewhere already, but I can’t recall. :) Will boxed 18” rims/wheels actually fit without shims of some sort (to clear the calipers) on this performance car? I have an extra set of 18” rims with snow tires for winter, and it would be nice (and cheaper) to just fit...

    I’m sure this was asked, and I’ve actually read through this insanely long thread, but can’t recall. :) Will boxed 18” rims/wheels actually fit without shims of some sort (to clear the calipers) on this performance car?

    Model 3 Performance (Canada) Waiting Room

    I hear you. But keep in mind, the US EDD’s have gone up and down just like this and meant nothing. At the end of the day, it’s the beginning of June, and quite a few people that had dates way out have cars now. I would try to ignore the date for now. It means very little. Still deflating...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    It will be a miracle if they offer up that much good will to repair it. It would be very improbable for so many people to miss that amount of damage during delivery. They are definitely going to assume it was done after. May the good will gods be on your aside.

    I hope they start with Canada. Or at least simultaneously supply Canada with other countries.

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    I agree, that a longer wait can definitely produce a good outcome for possible changes. It’s happened before for sure. I’m just very impatient. :) I’m also wondering if they’re missing the safety factor delivering a performance car just before winter with summer tires. .. Summer tires are very...

    I liked you yesterday. Not today. … :)

    I agree. The constant fluctuating EDD’s Americans are going through right now, seems to be starting here now also. The game begins. :)

    Model 3 Performance (Canada) Waiting Room

    New delivery date just changed for me today in the app. Moved to Sept 18th to Oct 30th. :( Was Aug 14th to Sept 25th. Anyone else change ?

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    Yup. Mine just moved today to Sept 18th to Oct 30th. :( Was Aug 14th to Sept 25th.

    Model 3 Performance (Canada) Waiting Room

    Tesla announced sales for Chinese model 3 Performance will start mid June. I’m hoping that somehow means Canada will see them starting mid June also. Likely wishful thinking, but one can hope. :)

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Just saw this video uploaded. It stated the car came with 4680 batteries. Pretty sure they have LG 2170’s. (World) and Pano 2170’s (US). Just for sanity this is correct right ?

    Model 3 Performance (Canada) Waiting Room

    Wonder which provinces will get the model 3 performance first. Anyone happen to know which provinces got the highland first ?

    Model 3 Performance (Canada) Waiting Room

    Hmm. Didn’t think about a third set. I like that. Summer tires, for about 3 months or so. All seasons for about 4 months or so, and winters for 4 or 5 months. I could do that. I swap my own tires anyway, so that works out.

    Model 3 Performance (Canada) Waiting Room

    I admit, it’s still sitting in the back of my mind. But the reality is, it’s amazing value, and even without the value, it’s a kick ass car. I’m over it. Just not looking forward to the very long wait.
  18. M109Rider

    Model 3 Performance (Canada) Waiting Room

    I mostly agree. So 6-7 months of the year it can be just that. A performance car with performance tires. The rest of the year, it will be a performance car with winter or all seasons, enjoying the performance side. You live in BC where 2-3 months of the year it’s a little cool, and you might...

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    And thank God for that. That process is what all other mfg’s use. It sucks, it’s a ridiculous game, and it’s frustrating. I’m thankful Tesla abandoned that part of buying a car.

    Model 3 Performance (Canada) Waiting Room

    lol. You’ll want snows on there, not summers for sure. Can’t believe they’re shipping stock summer tires to Canadian buyers .. :)

    Model 3 Performance (Canada) Waiting Room

    Deliveries will be starting soon we hope. Wanted to start a Canadian thread for the 2024 Model 3 Performance. My EDD is sitting at Aug 14th - Sept 25th. Ordered a few days after it was announced. White exterior, black interior.

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I would imagine the logistics, locations, trims, and volumes would make managing a proper “next in line system” nearly impossible. They likely don’t even try initially.
  23. M109Rider

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Man. How can they claim such a low time, when it’s that far off from possible.
  24. M109Rider

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Why? Not questioning you. Just wondering why.
  25. M109Rider

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    Mine still shows Aug-Sept. it will likely change many times as the date approaches.

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    Ouch. That’s into Q4. ! Well, the good news, is these dates really mean nothing. US orders have been flip flopping on dates constantly. I really feel our orders will be Q3 or earlier. When did you order it. ?
  27. M109Rider

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    Seeing more USA deliveries being pushed back to the date range we were given here in Canada. (July-Aug). I hope that doesn’t mean we will be pushed even further into Q4…

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    I’m with you there. That’s a long wait, when you want the car now. :) I really hope the date range shortens, but if we go by past trends, North America traditionally gets their cars late in the quarter, as they fulfil Europe first. Logistics and variable have changed though, so who knows. We...

    It may handle better, because it’s built China. :)

    As long as your far superior, all is good. :)

    Those different designs are not performance cars. They’re LR, SR, etc.

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    If yours still says July, you’re in good shape.
  33. M109Rider

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    That sounds promising for sure. Now if Elon would only add Canada to the list of countries getting deliveries, that would be awesome. :) I can’t wait.
  34. M109Rider

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    Ya, those are large differences for sure. Awesome to see. I think it’s safe to say, the LG won’t fair as well. How close they are we will see. It would be pretty disappointing, if the new M3P (LG pack) has similar stats to the original M3….

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    Gorgeous car. I have the boost also, and love it. Just in the waiting game now. :)

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    I do have a M3P on order. The estimated delivery date was July. About a week ago, it moved to August 14th to September 5th. :( Basically end of Q3 I suspect. My 2018 dual motor still runs flawlessly. I almost feel guilty for giving it up. 245,000km’s on it now. But I really want the...

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    That sucks. Should be easy for a dent guy to fix easily and quickly. I get why the service centre is gun shy on the reporting. For every valid claim like yours, they get 10 where people damaged their car and try to get it fixed for free. I get their side of it. Hope it goes well. Either...

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    I agree it’s not much, but that was kind of why I’m a little sideways. Would have been easy to bump up by adding even a few kw/h’s. Overall, my order is placed, and unless things get uglier, I’ll be happy I’m sure. I have a feeling we are looking at end of Q3 at best right now. The Tesla...

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    It’s pretty officially listed on their site now. I’d say it means something, and is very relevant. LG batteries already have less energy density. Couple that with a smaller battery, and you have a relevant and real hit to the fun and disappointment factor. :) If anything, the LG should have...

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    US M3P just increased the range gap with the recent increase to 303 miles for US cars. .. Would it have killed Elon to add 3 more kw/h’s to the national M3P Cars. ? Huge Tesla fan, but this really doesn’t feel good.
  41. M109Rider

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I’ll trade you my ETA for your east coast eta. Canadian eta’s are August -September…. With a smaller battery, and less power. I hear all the complaints, but I guess it’s all a matter of perspective. :)
  42. M109Rider

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    My delivery date changed today from “July” to “August 14th - September 25th.” Sigh.
  43. M109Rider

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    Ya, I was initially a little upset at the LG - Panasonic difference, but not now. I’m just patiently waiting now. :) Your order date show July ?
  44. M109Rider

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I’m in there. So there is at least one. I thought I saw some other place holders for Canada as well.

    Politics - Quarantine Thread

    I hope the tariffs President Biden put on Chinese batteries doesn’t impact deliveries outside the US. Could even affect US deliveries, if Elon shifts all production for everyone to the US as a result. That would stall all deliveries.
  46. M109Rider

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    Hmm wonder what that update is. I wouldn’t imagine it’s just software, because they don’t need to hold back cars for that kind of an update. Or maybe they just said that, because they were running behind.

    High pitched noise from drive unit

    Hmm. That doesn’t sound like wind noise. But it also sounds different than the ground strap whine I know of. Not sure what that would be.
  48. M109Rider

    Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

    I’m in Ontario Canada. I’ll likely burn through the summers, then get a second set of rims. One for winter tires, and one set for all seasons. That’s my current set up.

    Model 3 Highland (Canada) Waiting room

    Hopefully we will have a better sense of delivery timelines of new M3P cars in the next 4-6 weeks. US deliveries should be happening any day now. Can’t wait to see more videos of its performance. Would be nice to see a head to head of the LG and Panasonic models as well.

    Not sure about the reflectors. I would imagine they’re the same. The matrix/adaptive headlights are in all new teslas.
