With the most recent update to my estimated delivery date and my VIN assignment, my signature has become too long to maintain all of the EDD changes over the past five months, which may or may not provide valuable information to someone, so I'm copying them here. August: 2: August 3: Blank 10...

Just checked this morning--I see two days after you got your VIN, I've gotten mine. Same situation, MF454, which isn't a 22 but I'm getting my car finally! Woo! EDD is now 11/21 - 11/27 and I'm eagerly awaiting a text to schedule my delivery appointment.

Heard a rumor that once your delivery date pushes out and tightens after having not changed in a while it may be indicative of good things to come. Any truth in that? This morning I awoke to find that on the second day of the 10/25-11/14 window which I had held since 10/2, my estimated delivery...

This happened to me as well. About three weeks later I got a credit letter as if I had applied and been refused. Now I'm dreading needing to call the credit bureaus and get it resolved as an expiration of an approved credit offer rather than an actual refusal.

Have we been able to determine if there's a particular order in which the production lines run with regard to exterior color and interior trim? For example, do we know that the production runs go white->blue->MSM->black->red->white... ? I would imagine it would have to be demand driven based on...

your keyboard to god's ears for both of us...

The eleventh position in the VIN represents the plant code. So this Tesla must have been manufactured in the secret underground Gremont facility.

You’re Chairman of the “Didn’t buy it to look at it“ Division’s Absolute Madman Committee. I think technically still part of the first camp, but there’s been rumors of a schism. How was the trip? Did you do any videos or a write up?

Well you see really the participants in this thread are neatly divided into two camps. The first camp are those who have taken delivery and are presently occupied by their nightly ritual of tucking in their cars, picking out a chapter of the owner's manual to read it as a bedtime story, singing...

Need some help from the collective brain trust here. Back in April when I signed on the dotted line, I applied for financing through Tesla and was approved with BMO Harris Bank's indirect lending operation. Favorable rate, read good things about them online, and they obviously have a good...

So what you're telling me is that if I had 10,000 iPhones, I could basically build my own Tesla battery? That's how this works right?

Best this guy can hope for is that his pappy and the judge are members of the same hunt club. Not out of the realm of possibility for that part of VA.

Strong work BMW--pretty impressed with this! Hasn't convinced me to cancel my MS LR reservation, but it's a strong contender. +1 on this. If I had a Performance M3 scheduled to arrive mid-2022, I would scratching my head right now. I wonder if BMW is going to run into the same raw materials...

I've had trouble navigating the forum too with replies and links and what not. If you want some historical context on the issues the participants in this thread have experienced waiting for their Model S deliveries, start at this post from August of 2012. Back then it wasn't easy to sign away...

Fair point there on ownership, but that's kind of the point. I don't believe that the feds will allow Tesla to box out competition in the long run regarding charging, even if they own the charging infrastructure. I think they'll deem it "not in the best interest of consumers" and, like...

"let's see" lmao we've already seen, we're seeing, we saw.

Thanks for the explanation and the context. I suppose I had it wrong--it'll be easier for the feds to enforce compatibility than right of usage. I don't quite remember leaded gas because I was eight when it was banned, but I can definitely see the parallels with regard to the transition to...

Agreed--I think Tesla needs to win on performance engineering, not boxing out the competition from charging stations which are occupying a limited resource (the land where they sit). Can you imagine how messy it would be if you could only gas up your ICE at a Ford/Toyota/GM gas station and...

Well that's a merry Christmas! I guess this will be the sPoOkIeSt Tesla delivery yet, given its proximity to Halloween.

When I start my inpatient mental facility for people who went insane refreshing their account page trying to figure out how EDDs are determined, can I hire you on as my VP of marketing?

Assuming given the lack of understandably explosive fanfare, you've got a '21 VIN rather than a '22? Congrats either way--you're getting your car!!!

with the size of the river i've cried over these freaking delivery dates they could have floated my car from fremont to pittsburgh on a barge...

I fear we're all having a pretty similar experience, at least with regard to constantly changing estimated delivery dates. I'm actually more surprised when about 10 days go by and I haven't seen an update. As to why it's happening and whether or not it has to do with sending the cars that are...

How are the regions defined? Does anyone know the granularity (e.g., by state/province, by metropolitan area, by rough cuts across transportation hubs, etc.)?

It would be nice if the owner's manual specifically called out what features are in FSD vs AP. It mentions FDS six times, each describing a feature that's available with the option but there's no summary table or feature breakdown. I wonder if it's intentionally vague to allow for features to be...

I look at the NF VINs like this...I'm reasonably confident that I'll either get an NF VIN, which is cool, or get get my car within the next in 81 days, which is even cooler. Coolest would be to get the very first NF in like two weeks. Wishful thinking.

I'll take you up on that because my soul is sufficiently crushed.

Ya know it wouldn't be terribly difficult to define a range of expected driver actions and any time a driver takes the car out of autopilot with a maneuver that exceeds that range, the car captures the conditions and generates an event that can be used as training input to identify weakly or...

Nice--my window starts six days after yours, but you've got a significantly earlier order date than me. I'm not going to hold my breath for a VIN anytime soon but the deliveries that have shown up haven't really indicated any discernible pattern so who knows. In any case, here's hoping that...

Very exciting news and certainly a step in the right direction. I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you! What was your most recent delivery window and do you recall when it updated to that window?

Have we seen any Ns across all of Tesla’s models? I wonder what the decision criteria are for making the switch in model years given that the car itself (I assume) is unlikely to change between now and January and the software is versioned separately. Does anybody know how this works?

I'm in a similar boat. Have you been able to figure out which components are slowing you down? For a while the white/21" combo seemed to be impossible to deliver, but we've seen both whites and 21" models delivered so I'm not too sure! I really hope you get your car soon!!

Seems like good news to me! Then again I'm a tireless optimist so any change can seem like good news! Do you know if others with your configuration xor others in your area have taken delivery? Currently trying to sleuth out how EDD updates are rolled out (delivery geography vs configuration vs...

Same situation here. I got excited when I logged into the account and saw "prepare for delivery" and thought oh wow it's time--but lo and behold it was just because my initial financing had run out. It looks like you're ahead of me in RNs but with a slightly different configuration. We're both...

If you don't mind me asking, how much was the full wrap in stealth and how long did the shop take to get it done? I'm very interested in doing the same thing on mine (should it ever be delivered).

Sorry to hear that…we all know and share in your frustration. What is your configuration?

I love how varied the perspectives are on this forum. It's awesome to see folks discuss the finer nuances of handling vis a vis torque vectoring in high performance suspensions and read comparisons between the Model S and top-of-the-line BMWs, Mercs, Audis, and Porsches. AND I can't wait to...

That's a good question...I figured most of the west coast plaid+ conversions would have been the first deliveries made.

Yeah I'm thinking the same thing. My build is LR/Black/Black/19"/FSD ordered in early April. I'm east-ish coast, so I'm wondering if orders are getting filled west to east as we approach the end of the quarter.

Could this be refused deliveries that they're hoping to move locally at a higher price ahead of the end of the quarter? I see one each in DC, Chicago, and LA and two in Philadelphia as well.

Based on the recent updates (most recent of which is today's 9/3-9/17 window), it seems like I'm narrowing towards a mid-September date on my RN1147 black on black long range with 19" wheels and FSD. Very exciting times! (he says while staring down likely disappointment) I think it's probably...

Speaking of which, did you ever get things figured out with USAA? Any advice gleaned?

Forgive my ignorance, but can someone who's been through the process let us (who have not and haven't been able to get ahold of a human at Tesla) know how the journey looks from varying EDD to taking delivery? How do we know when we've been assigned a VIN? Will we be called on the phone or sent...

Glad it's moving in the right direction but it stinks that you're still months out! It must be white interior that's delaying yours? I'm estimated for about four weeks from now and have an RN11479 reference number.

Additional data point--one day shaved off both ends. RN1147 now estimated 9/3-9/23.

Would that be for a vinyl wrap or for PPF? I would happily drive to Chicago to save $5k on the full PPF.

Super helpful response here. Having driven beaters all my life I feel like I need a crash course in protecting and maintaining cars now that I'm actually about to own a car worth protecting and maintaining.

o_Oo_Oo_O well then! I guess the beauty of ever shifting delivery estimates is more time to save up for the PPF...
