State Farm. I have almost a dozen policies and yes, I use a local agent for many reasons. I did add my Tesla through the app (very easy), but even if you do that, my agent will call to give a quote and initiate payment. Nothing archaic, really.

I'm assuming you already have a car that is insured. If so, you just call the agent when you know your delivery date (with the VIN) and they will give you a quote and ask what date you would like it to take effect. If you do NOT currently have insurance, I would start the process as soon as you...

Sure, but it sounded like he had to call the dealer literally daily to check on it. That doesn't sound like the SA was doing much aside from checking current inventory. It's like standing in the kitchen at a restaurant and saying you got awesome service. An amazing SA would call you when the...

Unless you're a shareholder in your insurance company, the effective date should be the date of pickup.

The SA has virtually zero say on when you get your car. You got lucky and were matched to a car that someone likely backed out on.

Because it's probably like: order (six weeks of nothing) built in one day sit on a lot for a few days ship for 3-4 days delivery People think they're missing so much excitement, but it's just waiting while overseas orders are fulfilled. This isn't a Build-A-Bear - it's a damn car factory!

Yeah, that was my original point. I was wondering where they came up with that as the cutoff. Turns out it's just as fake as most, although I did find this one article referencing that date as the cutoff: The Clean Energy for America Act and Its Potential Impact on Tesla.

I meant the tax credit cutoff date of 5/24.

Where did you come up with this date?

Until you have a VIN assigned to your car, the store will not be able to give you any information. Once I had a VIN, I called my store and they could log into the car and see exactly where it is. You'll have a VIN shortly. Sit tight!

Nobody wants to hear "we don't know" from their dealership. Yes, we are customers, but we've all only paid $100 (not a *sugar*-ton) and should know that regardless of what the showroom staff says, the cars arrive at the end of the quarter. If you're on these boards, you know how the process works...

What everyone forgets is that everything on this car is run through the computer. Elon tweeted that something like 97% of passenger side lumbar support was never used. They don't need to wait to find out if it's being used; they have the data right in front of them. With that said, I do think...

The truth is that the SAs don't really owe you anything. They make no commission and have really no say on when your car arrives. When I test drove the car, the SAs were pretty clear that I should only expect to take delivery during the last month of the quarter, which has proven true for nearly...

Taking delivery at Mt Kisco this weekend (6/6) of my MYP. Ordered 4/8, but was a little surprised to find out it's still en route! Expected to arrive to them on 6/4! VIN is 196XXX

Got my VIN!! Whoop whoop!! MYP ordered 4/8 Mt Kisco pickup

In my signature... 4/8

Yeah, that makes me think it’s purely coincidental.

I’m still thrown off by anyone calling MSM “silver.” It’s just not a silver car.

Is it too much to ask some of those who have taken delivery to post some pics? You’ve got your cars, now it’s time to FLEXXX!

Same boat. I’m a day earlier. Nada!

Does anyone else without a VIN see a picture of their spec on the app now??

They produce in batches, so similarly equipped cars will have similar delivery dates. It is not exactly first come, first served.

This seems to have happened to everyone overnight. I wouldn't read into it too much.

I just noticed the app on my phone changed this morning to "Welcome to the Tesla family. Let's get started with an overview of your Model Y features." It definitely did not say this or look this way yesterday.

I'm also Mt Kisco but ordered 4/8. You lucky duck...

I guarantee this is a glitch. People are getting VINs left and right lately. I anticipate getting mine in the next few days.

It does say "WE WILL CONTACT YOU" so I would wait.

Updated this morning to 3-5 weeks lol wtf?? One weird addition is it telling me to watch the "Meet Your Tesla" video.

Still waiting for VIN... It's actually a good thing since the sale process of my current car with Vroom is taking SO LOOOOONG.

We should all be resigned to the reality that our cars are all going to be delivered in June, just as the SAs and Tesla website estimated.

The evidence is right in this thread. It's a waiting room for two months, then a flurry of deliveries. When I initially test-drove the car back in December, the SA told me flat out that even if I ordered the car that day, I would not have it until March. "That's just the way they do things." I...

If you go back in this thread to Q1, you'll see almost nobody took delivery before March. I don't think any of us will see our cars in the next two weeks. My question is: what exactly is going on in Fremont? Anyone live close by? Any activity?

My window was previously May 26 - June 11 before changing to the dash. I just called Tesla and they said "I see a window of 4-7 weeks on my end," which is very bad. I will officially be without a car for probably close to a month, if this ends up being true. It's amazing that 2-4 became 4-7...

My date turned to a dash last night and hasn't changed since. Estimated delivery - Maybe that means I'm close to getting a VIN?

It's not just Tesla. I was just at the Lexus dealership for my wife's car and I mentioned I was waiting for a MYP and the dates were all over the place. He said they are also almost completely in the dark. That seems to be the way the industry is right now.

And I've moved another day closer: May 21 - June 10

Same dates here. Moved earlier by one day yesterday.

Getting a black MYP in a few weeks. I have received several PPF quotes and it looks like it's around $2,600 for a "drivers package," which covers the whole front clip, mirrors, lights, rocker panels up to the crease, and the entire rear bumper. I think that's a pretty reasonable price. What I...

Still pegged at May 23 - June 12. Hasn’t changed in a week.

So true. Looks like late May - early June for me as well. It's smart to get the factory FSD for insurance reasons. Should the car end up totaled for some reason, most insurance companies will only value the car for what the original sticker says.

If only it had the tow package...

Still steady at May 23 - June 12. Hasn't changed since the weekend.

Orders have always been delivered during the final weeks of the quarter (i.e. Sept, Dec, Mar). I don't expect that to change this quarter. SAs know this, but they also know that customers don't want to hear this.

Hopefully they have a different supply for built cars because the tow hitch has been backordered for several weeks on the Tesla store. On the same token, in the current delivery times thread, you can see that the estimates for delivery are no different for tow/non-tow orders. All of the early...

A "piece of debris" would have to be floating in the air to even make it into the machine. Anything with that characteristic would, by definition, be as light as air. Particles of that size/weight would have zero impact on your paint and would also be the same things you would be dragging across...

Completely agree. We're not talking about a Pagani here. Aside from the method of propulsion, it's just a car. They churn these out in wild numbers. I can't justify spending more than the cost of a complete repaint just to protect the shitty factory paint. I've driven my black Grand Cherokee...

The best method for drying is not touching the car at all. I use my backpack leaf blower. No drips (or scratching) this way either.

Same here. Hasn't moved in several days. Build in sig
