Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

A good question and I too had these concerns before taking delivery of my car in March of this year. Despite pushing Tesla for a date and alerting thme to my need to sell my own (not too soon or too late) the reality is that you will not get definitive confirmation of a pick up slot until about 2 weeks before actual delivery. Up until then there are soft signals that may give you something to work with..allocation of VIN in source code (before Tesla alerts or confirms) but the official confirmation is unlikely to come from Tesla until your car is on the high seas. Attached below is indicative timeline for me (which I also know is not dissimilar to others who were successful with the Q1 2022 deliveries and also consistent with customers getting Q2 deliveries in the UK

By way of example in my own case these are the Tesla communications (all happens within last month to delivery)

1. 18th Feb - sms "a car has been allocated, your vehicle arrival date is being calculated and we will be in touch to make arrangements about a delivery date".
2. 8th March SMS - "Your car is ready to be scheduled for delivery, please select preferred date and time " included a link with three dates (March 24,25,26)"
3. 18th March SMS - advising licence plate registration and the VIN (note this was first communication by Tesla that mentioned a VIN (even though it was discoverable in source code for weeks before and in truth gave me confidence about. a car actually being matched to me. I think the give it as it is sometimes needed for the purchaser to arrange insurance/registration
4. 25th March - collected

I am not saying everything follows the same pattern but it gives some insights about the infamous VINS.

Thanks guys . I ordered my car in Jan 2022, got it delivered in Mach 2022 and at that time it had gone up EUR3K (I was happy). I am now 95% sure I will place another order...not because I want a new car now ...but to take advantage of the long lead time to delivery and also opting to delay foist offer, by which time I am speculating that cost of cars will have increased (giving higher value on my existing as a Trade in whilst locking in existing pricing on the new order (if i place today) before any imminent increase. Worst case scenario is I don't proceed to close the dal on the new car and I lose the 250 deposit.

Ia m sure many will think me crazy ordering a new one a few months after i got my car...but there is some form of logic in the above 😀

Woops, assumed they were for the rear , they are still in the boot, never even opened the packet!!

Of course, we knew this all along......😁

It's the 20 inch M3P rims.

Has there been any further price increase since the main 4k one?

Anything missing I should get?

Thanks this board has been really helpful during my research.

Saw someone today in skerries with an optimist (a small boat) upside down on a model 3 roof rack, its probably the same size as a large roof box.

this was posted a while ago….

Yes it just increases, no notice. Anyone with a deposit is locked in at the ordered price. Generally the increases happen on a sunday night from my observations.

Not going to bother making a thread, at least not yet, as I dont have the car yet. The dealer is putting it through the NCT and replacing 4 bald tires first. We're going to be a 2 EV house now, keeping the Ioniq.

The X is a 7 seater, 75d in midnight silver metallic (best color of course), a real unicorn as not only does it have free Suc, but also has heated and cooled seats, the cold weather pack, 22' wheels, and premium audio. The only extra I can see missing is the tow pack, but, given the range impact I dont think I'd be towing in a 75 pack anyway.

(edited to add, I knew none of the above when I went to see it, only the 7 seats and the color, I travelled on spec as there weren't even photos up yet at that stage. I was calling the dealer about an MSM S they had put up the day before which sold that day, and my X was the same, sold within 2 days of listing)

Being impulsive myself, I would probably just press the button😁. The booking deposit is not too much to lose if things don't work out..

Yeah, I just pulled the trigger...

The changes from my 2020 SR+ are just too many to ignore...

• Bigger battery (WLTP going from 409km to 591km)
• Heat Pump
• Double Glazing
• Refresh Interior
• MIC (quality)
• Heated steering wheel
• Chrome Delete
• Plus a few more that I keep forgetting (edit: thanks @eagerv );
• Power boot
• Rear lights (I much prefer the new brake lights)
• Ryzen chip

Only downside is I'd be losing .5s of acceleration to 100km/h, but as Fr. Fintan Stack once said;

"I've had my fun, and that's all that matters"
