Yes. I agree with this comment. The last quarter of Model 3 production nearly doubled from the previous quarter and I assume that the number of staff to handle all the paperwork and logistics did not increase in proportion.

Anyway, I took delivery of my Model 3 Sep 28th and here's my experience. They emailed me two weeks in advance to schedule pickup at the delivery center in Fremont on Saturday Sep 29th. Then a week later they called me and let me know that they could deliver the car to my house on a Monday. I was set to take delivery on Monday but then after the delivery time had passed, a manager called me to let me know they weren't able to get the car out that day and they'd get back to me to schedule another delivery date. A couple of days later they emailed me and said they could bring the car to me on Friday, and this time they showed up with the car, a little late, around 10:30pm. Overall it was a great experience. I really appreciate that they drove the car to me and it only took a few minutes to sign the paperwork.

Despite the delays and rescheduling several times it was a much much better experience than the (first, last and hopefully only) experience I had at the Toyota dealership in buying my previous car.

I am just over the moon thinking about the fact that I may never have to visit a gas station or get a smog check or have to discuss the problems of idling solenoids with mechanics ever again.

I'm on my second (first was a lease) Chevy Spark EV, which is about as plain as an EV can be, and I rented a Model 3 for a couple days and decided it was lovely, but too much car for the amount I care about cars. But even after five years I'm still "over the moon ... about the fact that I may never have to visit a gas station or get a smog check or have to discuss the problems of idling solenoids with mechanics ever again." That shit never gets old.

The delivered a car at 10:30 pm? How could you even give it a thorough look-over?
