For me it was a text and an email to schedule delivery. But I think it varies by location. Agreements weren't available for review until 24 hours before my delivery appointment.

Not sure. I checked yesterday (5 days after pickup) and they were there. But they were not there on delivery day. After taking delivery I was able to see them on my account page on the Tesla website. But not in the "Loot Box" section. Instead, it's under "Charging".

Yes, I submitted my down payment as soon as I saw the option in my account. It was right after I booked my delivery appointment. I also had to pay an extra $6 the other day but I didn't check what that was for (possibly a tire fee or something to do with registration). The car was waiting for...

Zero contact with an SA. The first contact I had from Tesla that didn't seem like it was automated was the text I got to schedule my delivery appointment. But delivery could not have gone smoother. Spent some time inspecting the car, signed the paperwork that was on the passenger seat, dropped...

Took delivery today. Talking about how great the car is probably isn’t telling you all anything you don’t know. Here’s my delivery date journey in case anyone is interested. There were basically three separate periods of time. 1. At first my dates were in the vague x-y weeks range. With a...

I got an email that my agreements were ready for review at 11. 24 hours on the dot before my scheduled delivery appointment.

I added the car to my insurance shortly after getting my VIN. At the time my EDD was August 30 - September 5 and I told my agent to have the policy go in to effect on August 30. I'm not sure if uploading insurance has any impact on delivery but I don't think it does. If I was doing it all over...

What was your estimate when you ordered? In my experience, EDDs can shift quite a bit to the right for a day or two and then shift back. Now if your original estimate was "November" then maybe the new EDD is correct.

I got a response from Telsa and it's as I suspected. As long as your policy has your VIN and is in effect when you pick up the car, you're good.

I am

Has anyone in NJ seen the message (at the end of the delivery text) that your insurance should be valid four days before your delivery appointment? My insurance will be valid two days before my appointment. I can't see them having a problem with this since I will be insured but so far I haven't...

Just booked my appointment for September 1. The text I got says that the insurance should start 4 days before pickup. Anyone in NJ have experience with this? Does it really need to be four or more days before pickup? Or does it just need to be effective any day before pickup?

Isn't the insurance you got for the new car good for six months? Regardless of when your previous policy expired? That's how it worked for me. The expiration date on my policy is six months from when I called my insurance agent to set up insurance for the Tesla. Which means the expiration is...

I waited until I had my VIN. I don't think waiting had any impact on my delivery.

There isn't. For about a week it seemed like everyones updates where happening at 7:30 AM Eastern. Lately it's been more random, at least for me.

Both statements could be true. It might not change your place in the queue but there may be a longer wait for white interiors. The whole process isn't very transparent and I obviously have no insight as to what will happen. I would plan for the worst case and assume that making the change will...

That's awful. I'd be tempted to call in from a different phone. Maybe first thing on a weekend to try and increase the chance that you speak to someone else. And if you do get the same person either hang up or pretend you're a new customer and ask something quick like "If I order today, when...

Come home early / Go to Mexico late? Mostly joking. I know that's not a real solution. If this thread has taught me anything it's what we're told by Tesla employees can vary widely based on who you talk to. It might be worth reaching out to Tesla again and seeing if you get a different...

@trilly - I just uploaded my insurance info and saw in the completed tasks section that my amount due has decreased by exactly $2,000. I assume that's the Charge Up rebate. I was hoping that the discount would be taken off the total price of the car (lowering my monthly payment) rather than the...

Seems like a lot of East coast VINs today. I just refreshed and saw that I received mine. Also saw my estimate change from September 2 - September 9 to August 30 - September 5.

I wouldn't expect it to be faster. Some people have ended up waiting longer than the original estimate. There's probably more people waiting on a long range, so the queue is longer. And Tesla may slightly prioritize orders for the performance model to get people to buy the version that makes...

If you got your VIN straight from your account page without using any tricks like viewing the page source (or using a browser extension that views the source) then I think you're less likely to have it changed. I also plan on lining up my insurance as soon as I see a VIN. One less reason for...

My understanding is that the Charge Up rebate is handled by Tesla. There was a powerpoint presentation for dealers posted somewhere that explained how it worked in more detail. But I think Tesla gives you the rebate and then applies for reimbursement from the state. Versus phase one where I...

Like others, my EDD updated in the afternoon instead of the usual 7:30 EST time. Went from August 31 - September 9 to September 2 - September 9.

Got that email too. Similar dates to you. Ordered July 8, EDD currently August 31 - September 9 and it hasn't changed since the 7:30 AM EST update yesterday. Here's hoping we get our VINs this week!

Understood. I mentioned the 4680s. And I only brought those up to contrast how Tesla has handled announcing those details, with how they have handled announcing details like the 2021 Model 3 Refresh. In one case we have a rough idea of their intentions in advance of any changes. If someone...

Right. My point was that with battery technology they usually lay out a roadmap. I know we can assume that every model will get the battery improvements eventually but the public has an idea of what models will get the new tech first and roughly when that will be (or when Tesla thinks it will...

I think it's more likely that they just haven't updated the EDD yet today. Lately the updates have been right at 7:30 but that wasn't always the case. I supect that one of the parameters their algorithm uses to calculate EDD is how many cars they manufactured yesterday. If they miss their...

But other than the 2021 refresh I don't think there were any changes for a few years. The 2020 is the same as the 2019 which is the same as the 2018. I haven't been following Tesla all that closely over the years so they may have made very minor changes in those years that I'm unaware of. Except...

I think what CoastieM3 meant was that Tesla don't make updates each year like other manufacturers do. It's true that there's going to be a Model 3 with a 2022 model year. But since they just refreshed the Model 3 for 2021, no one is expecting any changes that will make us wish we had waited for...

No change in my EDD since yesterday. Currently sitting at August 31 - September 9.

Interesting. I'm pretty sure my financing offer is good through September 9th. Coincidentally, my EDD end date has been pinned at September 9 while the EDD start date moves a day to the right each morning. Maybe the date that you complete the financing does matter.

Can confirm that my EDD usually updates around 7:30 Eastern. There was an afternoon update once but that was after I was getting a blank EDD for a while.

I wouldn't worry about it. Since August 4 I've generally been seeing the same pattern in my EDD: the start date moves a day to the right and the end date stays the same. Except for August 7. That day everything shifted two weeks to the right. But then on August 8 it was like nothing happened. My...

All this week the start of my EDD window moves a day to the right while the end date stays the same. Today the start date moved to the right but the end date moved two days to the left. Now August 27 - September 9.

I checked all the time when my EDD was blank. Lately it's been updating once a day. Usually in the morning and sometimes in the afternoon. So once I see the update I probably won't check for the rest of the day.

After my EDD slipping by two weeks yesterday I'm now back to the same estimate I was at on Friday: August 22 - September 11.

I had the same August 22 - September 11 date yesterday. But today mine has shifted two weeks to the right. Now September 5 - September 25.

NJ order here. I did not receive the email but my EDD is further out (currently August 21 - September 10). Not sure what that means but hopefully it means you're getting your car soon.

New update for me as well. August 21 - September 10. That's almost exactly the same as the August 20 - September 10 EDD I had the day after confirming financing. Which, if it's valid for 60 days, expires on September 9.

I don't think you'll lose your spot by not completing that section. Some people have said that they've been told that orders with everything complete take priority. Or that they thought things started going quicker once they completed everything in their account. So maybe you'd get the car a...

Had November for a couple of days. Now back to no EDD.

The November estimate is probably the most accurate you'll have for a while. The estimate in your Tesla Account page is going to jump all around. If you're trying to time something like selling your current car then I wouldn't trust anything until the estimate starts narrowing and you have a...

Maybe. I was thinking that they add a profit margin on top. I remember hearing that Non Telsa vehicles will need to sign in to the app and indicate which charger they are at. So it should be fairly trivial to tell whether a Tesla is being charged or not. Then they can make the profit margin...

Even if the $25 billion is off by 80%, $5 billion is still a lot of money to leave on the table. I think Tesla hopes that the added revenue, whatever it is, can be reinvested into the supercharger network and allow them to grow it at a faster pace. I'm sure they will be analyzing the data and...

I have friends that switch Insurance all the time. There might be something to that as they always seem to get the a good price. I've been with my current insurer forever. I'll probably stick with them initially as I think that will be the fastest way to get my policy and upload the proof of...

Nice! I haven't been assigned an SA for me to annoy yet. Not that it would do much good. Everything I'm learning from this thread indicates that their dates can't be trusted. At least your date ended up being earlier and not later.

I will likely order the Spigen matte protector as my delivery day gets closer. I'm tempted to save the money and go without a screen protector but I like the way the matte protector makes fingerprints less visible. The one good thing with the current delivery times is that I have plenty of time...

How'd you end up talking to the second person? Did you ask to speak to someone else? Or just tried calling again?

I've heard this. And I've seen some circumstantial evidence of it. After I ordered I held off applying for financing because I knew the delivery dates can go past the 60 days that the offer is good for. But I got an automated email that said "Prioritize your delivery by providing payment method...
