totally agree with goldengate there. I live down Freitas and Northgate would be perfect for a larger supercharger installation given the much larger parking areas, quicker access to 101. Northgate only has 2 DC/1 L2 EVgo chargers in total and a good amount of demand. It's possible that the...

This is an awesome utility! Thanks so much for the hard work and sharing it with everyone

Speaking of new colors, who was excited to read the thread title thinking they had a new color called Pear White? Not sure what that would be but could have been another color option!

maybe they're discounting upgrades? I went with blue paint which was $1000 over the base SR.

quick update: I got my VIN today and had to bug Tesla to get my MVPA doc filled out and sent over. I was going over the details once I received it and I noticed that I got a $500 price adjustment on my car. I ordered the SR ($35k one) on Oct 29th and they just took $500 off, no explanation. I'm...

congrats on finding a replacement within your timeframe, that was CLOSE. white/black with blue will be super sharp and you won't burn your legs in the summer.

thanks bud!

quick update on my October 29th order: I got my VIN today... spilled my coffee when it showed up I thought it would never happen. So that started a whirlwind process of trying to get my paperwork in time for my credit union to finalize the loan before my scheduled delivery tomorrow. I tried the...

same here. If I don’t get one soon I won’t be able to get the bank check in time

How did you get the VIN? Did it show up in account with MVPA? I have the same info. Car due off line 26th, delivery morning of 28th. I don’t have a VIN and I need to get it to my credit union tomorrow.

act fast man. I doubt they could pull off a rate match in time, but couldn't hurt to try. Why just Tesla financing? If you must go through them I would go through the web chat and see if they can help you faster than your SA. When I used the web chat they got me a call back in 10min from the...

man that would drive me nuts seeing a VIN and having it go. sorry to hear that! Hopefully with batches coming off the line you'll get a VIN again, or at least a text scheduling a delivery. My backup plan through all of this is to throw a new years party at the local delivery center. some people...

hey bud, I also have an October SR order, 10/29. I got a delivery scheduling text, but no VIN, MVPA or any of that yet. They said my car would come out of a batch finished on the 26th, so they're def making SRs in that group so maybe yours is in that batch. No clue why some folks get delivery...

looks awesome! congrats on getting it before the holiday... a little time off for joy rides?

Received delivery text this morning as well. It feels real now! 10/29 order Said car would be completed by the 26th. Scheduled delivery in San Rafael for the 27th. Hope MVPA shows up in time to get loan finalized with credit union. They said 1-2 days before completion so VIN for christmas?

That happened quick! You must be pumped. They better put a bow on that thing if you’re picking it up the 24th!

congrats! Really glad to hear about the good experience. Gives some much needed optimism.

that is helpful, I wouldn’t have thought that an MVPA would show up before VIN. thanks for pointing it out!

Just noticed model3 inventory is way down from earlier today. They just have moved really quickly!

it was some dude with a model 3 order and no VIN, had a gopro on the top of the crane trying to see what's going on in the factory and biffed it into the median.

M2 comp would be SO nice. Golf R was my ICE option, and also have been checking listings for them lately. backup plans, right? although never let the M2 comp know it was a backup plan if you end up with one I still have a rental going on 3 weeks now, will return on Sunday and wait it out...

nailed it. constantly.

haha me too, my accessories are unpacked on the living room floor, some under the christmas tree. I even laid out my floor mats and tested them with a regular chair. they seem to work ok.

I think the frustration is a bit different for October orders vs one place a week or two ago. just curious how many people are in a similar boat vs. just being from CA.

NICE choice there. that's my favorite config for the model 3.

There are a lot of October orders that won't be filled by 12/21. I'm starting to think that order date is really irrelevant at this stage of their EOY deliveries. I've seen folks post on here from other parts of CA with same config but much later orders take delivery. I wouldn't lose hope based...

I suppose it could. Having Tesla financing ready to go guarantees a quick turnaround at delivery. Having the local credit union here may hang up my delivery process since they have limited hours this coming week. I'm kind of concerned I'll get a last second text from Tesla saying pick up your...

oh man right in the nick of time there! I tried the chat approach too. they said I'd get a VIN within a week or so. I have the same issue with getting the MVPA to my local credit union in time. They have a limited holiday schedule over the next week so my ability to finalize a loan might be real...

oh good point! I didn't think of that. makes it even more frustrating that they produced inventory cars ahead of existing orders, to get an extra $1k out of someone ordering last minute. Part of me wonders if I'll get pushed to the end because I ordered the cheapest SR. I tried Tesla Chat...

since you're getting a white LR could you just ask to grab an inventory car instead? Most of what I've seen has the black interior, but they're available right now.

Seeing Nov and Dec CA orders get delivered, even with same config, I'm starting to wonder if we got on some kind of Tesla naughty list. off the top of my head... I broke the speed limit during my test drive. I may or may not have farted in the back seat while my wife was test driving one. I...

congrats! that's a quick turnaround from finding the VIN. I have a similar build from a 10/29 order. no VIN or update yet, hoping they were both produced in a batch of blue ones!

they're definitely purposely making LR's. if they're going to sell a bunch of cars to folks under pressure, might as well be the higher margin vehicles. If they made a bunch of extra SR+'s, folks waiting on LR's might downgrade. This way anyone placing a last second order will get them the most...

If I were in your position, I would definitely show up at the Fremont DC. I've been taking the attitude of trying to be patient, it's a clusterF over there I'm sure. however, I'm willing to bet that folks that ordered and made some noise are going to get answer/solutions before people who are...

If they have it in inventory right in Fremont, I would seriously just head over there or call the DC and mention it. They might match you on the spot. I'd be frustrated seeing that too. They haven't posted any SR+'s in inventory though.

I keep seeing blue/black SR+'s get VINs... on the EDGE OF MY SEAT here. 10/29 order in San Rafael. blue/black SR, 22" spinners, gift wrapped. B.I.G. PO-PPA no info from my DA. Tesla Agents mad cause I'm flagrant ain't called my cell, or the phone in the basement.

aaand just as I wrote that response I got the delivery availability email from Tesla. only selected Dec 25th. I hear they're only delivering red cars on the 25th anyway.

I didn't realize this... just looked up the eligibility and you're right, purchases out of state do not qualify. I would imagine the only way to make it work would be to have Tesla deliver it which would cost more than the rebate. If you managed to find a cooperative delivery center, I wonder if...

congrats as well! must be so exciting to finally drive away with one. looks like you got a little parking ticket on your wiper there! That must be how they're hurrying up the delivery sessions now. 10min parking for your car starting at signature :rolleyes: no email asking about delivery dates...

haha this thread is a roller coaster ... what new info is going to drop next? I also ride. perhaps not as hard as you guys do, but hey, I occasionally drag a peg on a Tiger XCX with boxes! If I were walking away from my bikes, something quick and visceral on 4 wheels has got to be there. I have...

Hey John congrats on finally getting both and for continuing to contribute to the forum! just curious how you timed your lease return so well! I've been renting a car for the last couple weeks after trying to commute via motorcycle since my lease end in early November. Did you just time the...

this is a waaaays off with big political hurdles. Even if it gets fully drafted and passes the House I would imagine something like this won't exactly be a high priority for the current Senate. It make a lot of sense, given that it would level the playing field for early entrants to the EV...

if you're the sort of car owner who keeps a vehicle until the wheels falls off and you're willing to accept some risk, it could be a good way to get a discount. I've definitely considered cars with a mark on the title, but it was for minor accidents, not anything related to water. I personally...

just realized you are getting an SR+ not an SR-.... ignore the capped battery thing. you got access to the full pack! AND autopilot. ghost ride the whip?

+1 for what lencap said. I ended up ordering an SR and have a baby on the way. With childcare prices in Marin and a scientist salary, I chose the SR over a used LR, or even SR+ after weighing the overall package and the money saved. With my 8wk waiting time to mull over the details, I've come to...

oh man that's my build and I've been waiting since October. hopefully they made a ton of them and some are on their way out.

that's awesome, congrats! so exciting to see bay area spots getting deliveries

Dublin as in Dublin, CA... not Dublin Ireland??

I ordered an SR. I ran a very detailed cost of ownership analysis and it ended up costing less than a Golf GTI SE ($28k) based on 12-15k mi per year and current gas prices. The GTI has always been a gold standard for an inexpensive, fun to drive yet practical car. I was surprised the Tesla was...

perhaps demo cars? most have mileage on them, but still listed as new
