Hahaha, I love those names as well. Also, teach me o’ wise one… how do I get my wife to try driving the car?! Thus far she’s refused to get behind the wheel, I think she’s afraid of one pedal driving. In all fairness she’s 7 months pregnant so things are a bit overwhelming at the moment, and...

Congrats, great news! I love seeing the new vehicles getting delivered on this thread. It’s been a little over a month since Firebones Princess got delivered (I let my 3 and 6 year old name the car… yeah) and the Fremont build quality is pretty awesome. I’m not sure when the honeymoon period...

We are paying about .15/kWh off peak and .18 from 11-8 on weekdays. That’s with special pricing my utility monitors via the free ChargePoint lvl 2 charger they give you when you provide proof of purchase and registration here in VT. It’s around .20/.23 cents without the EV charging plan. I’ve...

Since you likely already have the clips out that hold in the cover of the wheel well, you can pull that back and see the nut that breaks free of the weld. I tried various needle nosed pliers and via grips but couldn’t get ahold of the nut to remove the bolt normally, so I sheared the bottom of...

This looks so good, love the wrap and decal changes. The tint looks great, too.

Congrats man! Glad to see you’re through step 1, delivery day rules (most of the time)! Right before the weekend too, that’s awesome. I agree, the steering ratio is super quick compared to my large SUV. I forgot what a small car drives like and it’s definitely fidgety compared to the average...

Update for you, I got the software upgrade today that shows the heated wiper park as one of the improvements, then found the button. I cannot see the elements however, at least not easily.

I don’t have a button yet on screen that I can see, but I may be in need of a software unlock for it to show. The delivery operations manager I was working with during the last leg of the journey confirmed it for me and was very confident (and also confirmed I did not get mudflats or PPF, which...

Haha, so many threads… yesterday was a great day.

Sorry to hear they’re not able to supply more info… I’m very familiar with how annoying the complete unknown is. I had about 10 different EDDs prior to adding Carrier Direct, it was a roller coaster of emotion but still preferable to the generic TBD. Good luck!

I’m pretty confident you’re right, I had TBD right up until I got a VIN twice (rejected a 2021 vin in December and went on hold). I added Carrier Direct in Nov and it changed the EDD to that eternal TBD. I texted my SA asking if they might know approx when it would arrive at the delivery center...

Delivery update! The car arrived on a hauler yesterday and was a bit dirty (completely expected) but overall great. No panel gaps or alignment issues, QC on the car was great other than a few pieces of tape that were not removed. I did have an issue installing the Tesmanian mud flaps, long...

Thanks for these resources!

Do you mind sharing how you fixed it with the clip nut? I think I just broke the bolt on my rear passenger bumper and the bolt won’t come out (although I was babying it at that point and desperately trying to re-thread it).

Tomorrow is delivery day, I was expecting it late this week or early next and figured it’d be closer to the latter with the impending storm. I got a text from the carrier that he’ll be here tomorrow midday. It almost doesn’t seem real, too bad I have meetings all afternoon, haha! In other news...

Ohhh, gotcha. Sorry, I was thinking you might have been using those buttons on the side, I’ll shut up until I actually get the vehicle, haha. In other news I’ll be checking those buttons immediately upon delivery.

I’m going to wait until I have vehicle in hand, but it’s on my list. Trust but verify is a good motto with SA provided information in my limited experience reading these forums.

Bummer about the seat, and maybe I’m wrong here (my wife can attest I often am) but I recall the 3rd row doesn’t have a release button like the 2nd row.

Update, my delivery manager confirmed the car does come with heated wipers, VIN F366xxx. No PPF or mud flaps, unfortunately, but I did buy some ahead of time. Figured I’d share those data points here.

Haha, on the off chance I need to leave it for multiple days I’ll be crossing my fingers for a loaner X. I put my chances at around 1%…

That is annoying, it reminds me of the fact that TX residents will need the car sent out of state to purchase an Austin vehicle… makes no sense at all. It just shows how lobbyists in this and other industries can inhibit disrupters with local level laws and requirements (I’m looking at you...

Haha, my wife asked me the same question and I don’t have the best answer… There are service centers around 120 miles away, not ideal but I’ll make a day of it if needed. I believe there are some local service options (we do have an office locally, I think they focus on solar). This was based...

You’re getting close! My vehicle will be in Paramus today or tomorrow, looks like it’s getting prepped on Tuesday. Once it’s ready they need a freight company to pick up the contract to lug it up north to VT. I’m guessing it’ll be delivered to my home next weekend or the following week...

Congrats, that’s awesome! I’m on the hunt for newer builds and whether the heated wiper park is being consistently added. Also curious about, but way less invested in, the double pane glass in the rear windows (which isn’t showing up much, if at all, lately). Enjoy the new ride! (and share a...

Any chance you checked for the heated wiper park? I have the same VIN series, 366, and was crossing my fingers for that feature (which is a definite benefit in New England).

No one really knows, I’d guess 4 weeks but I’m shooting from the hip with that guess. If you had a VIN when you went on hold earlier I’d say less, if not you could be looking at a few months. EDD should update in the next week or two, at this point maybe you’ll get an Austin build, which would...

I live in VT and have to take delivery in NJ, I was told no mud flaps or PPF on the phone for vehicles delivered in that state. I’m going to check with the Paramus store staff, but I also ordered both just in case I need to add them myself. I drive on a dirt road daily, so rear rocker PPF is a must.

It’s unfortunate when you see a policy designed to protect the typical retail consumer end up totally failing in a totally legit use case. Such bull$&@!, I’m sorry this happened to you.

Haha, congrats!

I’ve had EDD TBD on and off for about 6 weeks total, early on I had it for about 3 weeks, then 1 and 2 weeks after I applied Carrier Direct to my order. I’m not sure if you have that additional shipping step or it could just be the system finding the slot for your order, but it’s not highly...

I have a 366xxx VIN as well and they confirmed it had AMD, so you should be good. Psyched you got the VIN!

I’d suggest a quick call to customer service or texting your SA, they may be able to give you some info about when it’ll get to the delivery center. I had good luck doing that. I feel your pain though, I rest a little easier having some general idea of when to expect the car. I went back to...

Same experience, the first time it went to TBD from 12/17-31 and ended up being around 10 days before I got a VIN, they tried to drop a 2021 VIN on me a little over 5 weeks after they switched to the 2022 model year. More recently I came off hold and had TBD for 16 days before VIN. Carrier...

I'm rooting for you, man. I've followed your posts and have seen so many great folks on this thread get their vehicles, I'll be poppin' a bottle for you when I see the VIN announcement.

I hear you, that darn TBD popped up after I added the Carrier Direct fee and never went away. There was no indication of when the VIN would arrive and I had to text my SA to ask if they had an idea of what the date range was for EDD, I also mentioned I wouldn't hold them to it because I know...

VIN received overnight, NF and 366XXX, confirmed to have the AMD chip. I’m unsure of delivery timing as I’m using Carrier Direct rather than picking up myself. I’ll update the tracker this evening and am super excited to be at the tail end of this process!

7 seater here… VIN received overnight, NF and 366XXX, confirmed to have the AMD chip. I’m unsure of delivery timing as I’m using Carrier Direct rather than picking up myself. I’ll update the tracker this evening and am super excited to be at the tail end of this process!

I hope so, super excited for the car! Good luck!

Awesome, thanks for those deets! I am also waiting on a NJ delivery date (Paramus) and was curious as to what you ordered. I got a vague response on my EDD as it's obscured on my end due to Carrier Direct shipping, but it seems to be first half of Feb which aligns with yours.

Awesome, what is your config?

Haha, so true. If you like then you better put a key-ring on it! (I know it’s a card, just practicing my dad jokes over here)

I can’t see my EDD but I did just hear back from my SA that I have an almost identical EDD (I have Carrier Direct since I’m so far from a delivery center, which seems to remove the visible EDD on my end).

How long did it take for your EDD to update after coming off hold? I had a one-VIN hold until 1/7 that came off on the 4th, I’m still seeing TBD in the app. One other note, I have the carrier direct delivery option since I live a couple hours from the nearest delivery center. About a week...

It seems like there’s a common thread regarding holds releasing automatically 3 days prior to the scheduled date. I’m interested to see how things pan out with Giga Austin and upcoming delivery dates, exciting times indeed. Hopefully everyone’s dates start shifting back in the coming weeks, good...

Just noticed my hold was removed (scheduled to come off account on 1/7 previously) and now EDD shows as TBD. Figured I'd add my own data point here as the hold was active through yesterday and was originally added on 12/7 after receiving a VIN ahead of schedule (a 2021 VIN unfortunately).

I have the old vin from early December In my account from prior to going on hold. I’m pretty confident that vehicle was claimed by someone taking delivery before EOQ, so I’m going with that.

I haven’t seen any reports of this and have no personal experience to draw from until I get my ‘22, but just to cover the basics did you precondition them battery and was acceleration set as “standard” on the new vehicle? My first guess would be chill mode vs standard as there are no mechanical...

Woohoo! Congrats, that’s an exciting update.

I think it’s an extremely compelling vehicle and probably tied with the Mach-E in my mind, great design, sounds like it’s fun to drive, etc… the issue is volume, they’re not able to churn enough out and I’m guessing it’ll be a year before there’s any sort of significant production volume. Love...
