Tesla Model 3 - V3.0

I think it depends on what you want out of a car.

I've never had a car with cruise control, or any sort of rear parking assist. So having a car that even has cameras is a big plus for me. I'll just have to park like I always have, with my eyes 😛

I think ultimately Tesla will disable the use of USS on older models as well, or so at least they have said. But no one really knows if Tesla Vision will truly be able to replace it.

The sensors are for parking really, or squeezing through tight spaces in housing estates etc... Don't have any impact on normal driving

Have it now, thanks so much.

No, it has not been announced yet.

The grants made me make this move considering we don't know if it go away.

Jayus you sound like a Tesla sales person now you'll definitely maybe have in a few months 😂.

So I'd agree with what you said put down the deposit depending on spec you might get specs faster (like white or black). Going by what people are saying here sept. maybe feasible if you don't get Inventory one (need to be lucky there).

If you get sick of waiting you can get your money back (if did that after waiting 7 months).

When you say plenty what would be the ball park figure maybe in the 10s? Given the number of car sold maybe plenty mightn't be a good description. Plenty of people have won the lotto too 🤔. I'd say many more people have been burned with delivery date wise. Mine was supposed to be sept. 21 (order July 21) it arrived finally march 22 that was even with a delivery in Dec 21 where I tried to get a cancellation (told them I'd take any spec but a few randomers with no long term orders seemed to get one).

Sept. seems to be the delivery date now in reality outside of the inventory lotto. Even if Tesla are saying that was pushed out date is down to a "software issue" that don't even make any sense.

I get the fanboys but when people are considering ordering they should get both sides.

In summary great car by all means put down a deposit you get it back if things don't work out. Don't get too optimistic you may get it early you may not best advice is have a few options Tesla will be the easiest to cancel. I had orders for an ID4, Ioniq 5 and a M3 the Ioniq 5 came first.

Does anyone follow the Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Waiting Room and Delivery Queries thread at all?

Are there posters there who have cancelled orders?

Ive never met anyone who cancelled a Tesla order so would be curious to know if this happens in any significant number.

It seems most M3 deliveries this quarter were ones ordered pre price change & were already grant qualifying (ie mainly RWD), so very few cancellations

it’s notable for the first time in a long time there has been minimal M3 inventory. There was, from what I have seen, no LR in inventory and there was 2 M3P that sat there for weeks but eventually sold

Ok I think it valid to state that and you'll see with many in the last few weeks were "promised" April delivery now pushed to Sept.

So the response to the original question was that there was a good chance of getting a car quickly and some got it in 5 days. That was misleading, its also good to know the other extreme.

I bought going on all the positives on forums saying you'd get your car in a short time and misleading info from Tesla. People should be aware it may not be the case and get the full context. There are many people in the last few weeks who have sold their car are are left in the lurch on delivery dates.

By all means put down the deposit, maybe prepare for the worst and hopefully be surprised. If you go the other way it'll wreck your head

Great car but don't make big plans around proposed delivery ranges.

I'm still lurking as you call it because maybe two views on things can help people make more informed decisions and get an idea of expectations (middle ground is probably the more realistic).
