The wait 😂🫠

Hi all. This wait is killing me 😂 originally ordered Nov 2025. Didn’t realise I’d ordered the ‘newer’ version of the Model 3 (2026 AWD, premium) I’m guessing this wait time isn’t gonna get any better. Not had a car for a month now, as originally it was due to come in Jan…

Not just me then buddy! Haha

Same here. Looks like we are all waiting for the same shipment! Can’t wait. Unfortunately I can’t afford a Premium one just a standard range sadly 🥲 https://preview.redd.it/pvj474mv74hg1.jpeg?width=1260&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=3a349cc6fd681694634598a4a441c64670037f45

There’s a ship movement thread in the Tesla Motors Club Forum where you can make your anxiety worse. There’s an unbelievable level of spywork involved in tracking your vehicle’s VINs weeks before they appear in the Tesla app. Additionally, there’s great shipment tracking to follow your car’s route from Shanghai to South Africa and beyond.

Love this mate 😂😂😂🙃

Already messaged him this very thing. I was blown away by the amount of effort going into tracking boats 🤣 Confirmed his car is on the same boat as mine, the Don Pasquale which is about to pass the canaries for Barcelona, then round to the UK.

It’ll still be awesome mate! Even more so if it’s your first Tesla.

The month without a car is the real test of patience. I found myself checking the app like 10 times a day even though nothing was going to change. It's worth the wait though, the new Model 3 is a serious upgrade over the pre-refresh.

I originally had the 20th - 4th Mar but then it got updated about a week ago. Ordered early Jan https://preview.redd.it/vqft13pq25hg1.jpeg?width=1440&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=af55afec51947b786231362b62eb9e9e8cbd9be9

You all are gonna love your Model 3s. I own a Y but the 3 is still my most favorite car. Congratulations in advance!!!

imagine if you were waiting for your roadster preorder

How long of a ride is it?

OldFargoan 2026-02-03 05:03

They're more fun to toss around when the stakes are lower.

If it’s your first Tesla or you’re coming from a much older Tesla, you’re still gonna be blown away. The Standard Model 3 still beats any other car on the road

ordered Dec 9th app states 7-14 March delivery for me. The wait is absolutely killing me, i even consider not bothering with the current update that’s rolling out to teslas on my old 3 because it should be gone in a month 😅

fuzzilogik01 2026-02-05 12:30

Yeah, I think anyone who has purchased online feels this. So much build up, research, internal debate. Then you finally pull the trigger and....wait. I purchased used and only had to wait 3 weeks, but it felt like a long time. I feel ya!

fuzzilogik01 2026-02-05 12:30

I love the idea of VIN spying. So cloak and dagger.

SpearOfDestiny1841 2026-02-10 09:24

Delivery comes earlier than scheduled and collection date confirmed ! Ordered on 28-Jan! Happy Day! https://preview.redd.it/d76iltlzxmig1.jpeg?width=1260&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=955f1816a7bb9d10d33a6c086465e4697d516860
