It’s because Doo82 doesn’t like being called out for being a twat.

Right. Got the point the first time. When I grow up, I endeavor to be as resourceful as you, without the snark of course.

Cool! I’ll check it out.

Thanks?

Thanks! That makes sense and good to know.

Had our car for about a month, and happened to see this the other day above the 12v outlet in the back. It sure looks like something is missing, maybe a vent cover or maybe an access cover that they forgot to snap into place. You can kinda see part of the taillight assembly and some cabling...

I did this last week and so far all I’ve gotten back was the email you referred to. I may call them before the end of the week to check on it, and while I’d like the 1000 miles free charging, it’s probably worth less than $100. But then again, free is always good.

I’m definitely gonna try to do it myself. It certainly looks easier with two people and while I’m pretty picky, it doesn’t have to be perfect. I think spending the money to get a good quality PPF is important though.

Right! I wasn’t suggesting it was some kind of state law or anything. :) Then again, Kansas has some pretty stupid laws on the books. I should have said “ if one doesn’t want to look like a dork, they have to cover up their center hub “.:p

And you never have to feel guilty for just taking it out for a spin!

Thanks! Yeah I just ordered them through Tesla. They’re really lightweight but they’re also pretty good quality. $50 seems a bit steep but you really have to have something to cover up the center hub and lug nuts.

So far, I think it’s just the bugs that are a problem, but yeah it won’t take long before you’ll see damage from everyday driving. If I can find a buddy to help on the PPF, I might give it a try. It sure looks doable with two people and at the end of the day, it doesn’t have to be perfect. Man...

Day three and these are the first pics I’ve taken. I pulled the wheel covers right after I got it home, and I was surprised how dirty the wheels were so I got them all cleaned up. It did give me a chance to get up close a really check out the whole car in good light. The exterior was perfect...

Congratulations! I just knew that you had to be getting close when I saw your EDD days narrowing this last week or so, and I’m so happy for you and you’re family. I stumbled upon this forum two months after my order date and the timing was perfect because being on here the last month has been...

You’re gonna love it! And I don’t think you’ll have to wait that long either. The guy that helped us said they’ve been busy all week long on deliveries - one after another - as fast as they can get them out the door. I called them this morning to see if they could get us in before our 3:00 pick...

Just picked up my MYLR5 in KCMO. Super easy and quick. Looked it over real fast and couldn’t find anything that looked like it was worth complaining about, so drove it home and it’s in the garage looking pretty. On the freeway I passed a car doing about sixty and punched it. Sixty to ninety was...

That’s interesting. I’ve heard that about the wall charger but I guess I was thinking about setting up a NEMA 14-50 outlet when I brought up the common wire. I may eventually end up getting a wall charger someday, but 29 mph charging should work for me most of the time.

Yeah, I don’t know, there’s a little more to it than that. There’s likely a common leg you have to land as well. Ground and common aren’t really the same inside your breaker box. You’ll have two hots, a common and a ground to connect. I’m not an electrician but I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express...

Ok, so I was told by an advisor on their 888# to simply upload a copy, front and back of my current insurance card because he said the system doesn’t care if it’s for the car your driving now or not. He also said that not finishing that part of your profile would not keep you from getting your...

What’s your order date? Late June or early July orders seem to be getting wrapped up now with the exception of several unfortunate ones still waiting on their April and May orders. Hang in there.

Okay, this is probably the best explanation. But I have heard people say that they were a Ford or GM guy and that they just being patriotic buying American. There’s also those that think Elon is a jerk and hate everything Tesla. There’s also the perception that only wealthy people can afford a...

It’s crazy really. There’s a lot of people that think they’re foreign made! And it’s one of the most American made cars available. Amazing

Yes. Mine went from 9/11-9/25 to getting a VIN yesterday and a new EDD of 9/4-9/9. I’m wondering if they already have the car and I’ll get a call to pick it up before the end of the week. I’m ok with that, but it’ll be quicker than I expected. I’m ready.

Makes sense. I guess this is the first time I’ve actually looked at the MVPA on a purchase. Thanks!

I called the 888# the last two Fridays to make sure my profile was good and both people I talked to made a point to tell me that they thought I’d have my car mid September. With the caveat that things could change, but I thought it unusual because I never brought up dates or potential VIN...

That’s nice. And a great pic too. You can really see the distinctive lines on the Y in that pic. I used to think the Y was a little boring looking, but damn that’s pretty!

I just looked at my MVPA and noticed that the odometer is 15 miles. Who’s been driving my car dude? Maybe that’s normal in the delivery process, not sure really. But I’ve bought several new cars over the years and there’s usually less than 5 miles on the car when I picked it up. Not a deal...

I believe it is. Mine was at least a 20 day window for a couple of months straight, and changed to a 14 day window a week before I got my VIN. Seems to be the pattern for most long timers.

Correction. 9/11-9/25

9/11-9/30. I was expecting my VIN pretty soon, but not this soon. It’s crunch time now…

Saturday VIN 258# and blue button! EDD changed to 9/4-9/9.

Any suggestions on floor mats for the front and back seats? I’ve ordered the textile trunk mat from Tesla because it looks perfect for dogs when they jump in and out of the back. But I’ve seen where people have ordered the 3D MAXspider mats for the front and back seats and when they get them...

Congratulations! Hey, we ordered on the same day, so I’m getting pretty anxious. My EDD has had a 14 day window for the last week or so. It was always a 20 day window from the get go as it bounced around the calendar. So something changed last week and I talked to someone at Tesla last Friday...

It’s like the lottery - you can’t win if you don’t play! :cool:

Thanks. I see you’ve got an early June OD. Hopefully you hear something soon. I too have been in the October club, but I don’t think that will last unless there’s something going on with east coast deliveries.

Hey just a follow up. I did call the 888# and talked to someone there that confirmed my account profile was good. I was surprised to hear him tell me he thought that I’d be getting a VIN pretty soon because it looked to him lIke I could expect a delivery date in mid September. I’ve heard others...

Everything you said sounds about right. I doubt he changed anything, but I may try calling the 888# and talk to someone, and make sure it’s still set for cash payment. Thanks so much.

He was wanting to input the 3rd party financing, I just don’t know how I can provide it without first providing the bank with a MVPA. Which brings me back to needing a VIN assigned before I get an MVPA. Making my head hurt. I may just go get some alcohol and think happy thoughts…

No VIN yet. I thought the same thing actually. And I’m ok with that too, but I don’t really want to go through another credit check yada yada thing and take another ding. Plus, I bank at BoA and as much as I think they’re the devil, it would be convenient…

Right? But am I wrong about the MVPA being available after a VIN assignment? And I’m pretty sure that the loan officer is correct when she’s telling me she needs the MVPA before the loan can be finalized. I applied for the BoA loan after my loan expired through Tesla and BoA had a much better...

So can someone tell me if my profile is complete, or if I have more work to do? I now have a SA telling me that I need to get them a finalized loan agreement to complete my profile. I thought I chose cash payment, and to me, that’s what it looks like. This is the first time I’ve chatted with him...

Yep, this was discussed yesterday quite a lot. My OD was June 19th and I had the same questions. Check out yesterday’s threads about how best to resolve this issue. I’d start with a call using the 888# to get your old expired financing removed from your profile and either switch to cash payment...

I just chose cash and mine updated to show that I’ve chosen to pay in full as well.

I do not have a check mark there. It looks like I can change it myself. You think I should, or call and have them do it?

Sweet! That’s the color I wished I’d ordered. But I’m not about to change anything now - I’m too close and don’t wanna f anything up, so white is what it’ll be. Looks like you’re having a great weekend!

Well I’ll keep my fingers crossed. My EDD did shrink somewhat from 9/12-9/30 to 9/11-9/25 yesterday and is steady. The only time I ever talked to my SA was on the day of my test drive and no one from Tesla has ever called or texted, but I haven’t pestered them either. Today was the first time...

Just an update on my account. I called the 888# and talked to them about removing the outdated financing agreement and they thought it best to go ahead and remove that from my profile. He did it while I was on the phone with him and when I refreshed my account, it did update accordingly with my...

Well, this is worrisome. Your May OD and no VIN has got to be the most perplexing, just makes no sense. My fear of doing nothing or making changes to my profile has me somewhat paralyzed. I know that’s a familiar feeling for many on here.

So basically they’re just changing my profile from a loan to cash? I’m good with that and I wish I had set it up that way to begin with. I’ll try calling that number and see if there’s anything I can do to keep things rolling in a positive way. Thanks
