How long does it usually take to pick up a 2021 Model 3?

2021 Model 3 usually takes about two weeks for delivery. Here are some things to pay attention to when inspecting the car: Check the exterior: Inspect the exterior thoroughly. Walk around the car to check for any scratches, dents, or signs of rust on the chassis. Check the production date: The car also has a production date, usually marked on the nameplate outside the vehicle. It's best to get a new car within three months or up to six months. Beyond this period, it's likely a test drive or display car. Check the engine compartment: Open the hood. The engine compartment of a new car should be very clean and easy to spot. Then start the engine and listen for any unusual noises or noticeable vibrations. Check the interior: Enter the car and inspect the interior to see if it's clean, check the seats for scratches or dirt in the gaps. Check the mileage and tires: The mileage of a new car should generally not exceed 50 kilometers. However, some dealers might tamper with the odometer, so also check the tires. New tires usually have deep tread patterns and may still have tread hairs on them.

When I bought the 2021 Model 3, I waited about three weeks, which was pretty normal since I chose a special color. If you go with standard black or gray exterior, you might get it in just one or two weeks. But back in 2021, there was a global chip shortage, and many friends had to wait even longer, some over a month. I recommend checking Tesla's official website for inventory cars before placing your order—if there's one available, you can drive it home immediately and save time. Also, remember to choose an urban service center for delivery—they have more stock and faster processes. Avoid buying during the year-end peak season when demand surges and wait times get longer. Before pickup, I also installed a home charging station in advance to avoid last-minute hassles. The excitement of a new car makes the wait feel agonizing, but generally, patience is key—three to four weeks is a common timeframe.

As a car enthusiast, I know the 2021 Model 3 delivery times varied greatly. The base model could arrive in as little as one to two weeks, while the Performance version or custom interiors might extend the wait up to two months. Tesla's direct sales model cuts out dealers, but severe supply chain issues at the time, like parts shortages, caused some delays. I recommend choosing common configurations and avoiding rare colors to shorten the wait. Checking regional inventory for available stock can get you a car immediately—urban stores often have better stock, while rural areas may require longer waits. Overall, budgeting three to four weeks is safer. Also, pay attention to the weather at delivery to avoid hassles. After pickup, test drive to ensure everything runs smoothly, and don’t forget to update the app for a seamless and efficient experience.

When I bought the 2021 Model 3, it took nearly a month because I chose the blue exterior, which was very popular. At that time, electric cars were in high demand. The Tesla website showed estimated times based on configuration—the standard version was quicker, ready in a few weeks. However, adding Autopilot or special seats could extend the wait to over three weeks. It's advisable to place your order early, use the mobile app to track progress, and prepare a charging solution to avoid hassles later. Choose a weekday for delivery to minimize queuing. Overall, stay patient, but don’t delay too long to prevent inventory changes.
