Unfortunately TX has a disadvantage that Tesla cannot sell directly to folks. I think there is a process to buy it at a nearest service center that is outside of TX or I heard Tesla may even ship the car to you. Good luck!

Hi @bridge-player , totally agree - in addition, if I move or rent it or Air B&B or what not :). I also thought about this and initially wanted a 6/3 instead of 6/2 which is what you need for the Tesla wall connector. Having a 6/3 would've helped to install a NEMA 14-50 adaptor. But I also...

Hi, I thought about just installing the NEMA 14-50 receptacle and use the mobile charger as well. But after doing some research, I finally decided to install the wall connector, and also keep the mobile charger for travel need, etc.. If I may, I want to share my reasonings - not necessarily...

Hi, in terms of charging cable, your SA is correct - none is provided except for a J1772 adaptor that will help if you want to use a non-Tesla charging station. As for my case, I did order a wall connector and a mobile connector (Tesla used to provide the mobile connector with new vehicles, but...

Matrix light has come up in more posts than probably many others. May be it is just cool name - reminding me of the movie 'Matrix' :). Anyway, seriously, there are some gimmicks that matrix light can perform that non-matrix can't. Some care, some don't...

I think lot of white interiors were ordered initially as I also noticed that more black interiors are in the inventory than whites. This could be one reason. Not sure if I would say rarest or least favored. At least for me and my wife, this was the best favored :).

Thanks for the info. Makes sense.

Hello, @rgiovine , I do not understand why Tesla is saying the car is totaled afterwards, whereas they paid the money earlier? Is it possible that the shop you have it is not being truthful? So sorry to hear this and good luck!

Hi @robl45 , I am with you. I just recently changed my garage door opener with MyQ (my old was not working anymore) and like the idea of auto open the door as I drive up and close as I drive away. I went with MyQ option instead of HomeLink because I would have the flexibility to either use the...

VIN is assigned when all parts of the car is ready about to be assembled. As some of the parts need the VIN to be etched/marked. Car is built after VIN is assigned. It can take a couple of days - depending on how fast the factory is producing the cars. Can be even hours as we've seen some...

Quick way to check if you have standard range or long range is to click on the "Specs & Warranty" link at the bottom of the Tesla App on your phone. This will bring up the following: Mine is long range, and I would be curious to see the specs from a standard range - what does it show. Thanks!

Looks gorgeous. I am the same, originally ordered W/W/19 (to remain under $55K), but later found a R/W/20 and went with it. I cannot agree more that the red looks stunning and would stand out. I am expecting more whites on the road :). Enjoy!

Hello, @Mainuh , thanks for keeping us updated and entertained. I felt your pain and frustration as you had a unique situation and couldn't wait based on the ever changing EDD in the Tesla App. I am glad, as like many other here - that you got a VIN and hopefully get your Tesla soon, and be...

Hello, you've seen a few responses where others were able to get their's changed. If you are closer to the Tesla office, maybe you can go and talk to the SA or ask for a manager. This has been a hit and miss by many - some were able to keep the original price (when they ordered), some were...

Totally agree and nice analogy with traffic jam and we have all been there - switching lanes sometimes work, sometimes not. However, I also want to add that one can look at waitingfortesla site to get some idea - not necessarily no one can guarantee and certainly noI prediction of the future...

I was told by my SA that delivery time from build is about two to three weeks - depending on the state and if the cars are shipped by train or via truck. Mine came via truck from Fremont. Ours build date was 2/15 and it arrived at the office on either 2/27 night or 2/28 morning.

Good question. What I know - the VIN doesn't show/tell the build date. Either waitingfortesla has some insider information or probably guessing, would be my bet.

Thanks for the info @Adopado . Based on this, I assume the picture posted by @MellyY23 shows the 12v low voltage battery type. No high voltage battery is not listed, which means the battery type is NOT LFP. Did I understand this correctly?

I was in the same situation. Found one showing up when I searched for vehicles in Cleveland OH. Fortunately, the car had not been shipped yet. My SA was able to re-route / ship to IN. Best of luck!

There are restrictions on cross boarder purchase as Tesla sells directly to the customer and different states have contracts that do not allow to purchase from other states. See the screenshot below. I can find a Tesla in Columbus OH that is eligible only for certain states.

It shows M+S on the side and made in USA. https://www.tirerack.com/tires/goodyear-eagle-f1-asymmetric-5-m-plus-s I just double checked and it shows asymmetric 5, so the above ones are on my LRMY. Does this help?

Hello, @arbitrage000 , the car came with Goodyear Eagle F1 tires. Just wanted to follow up as I said I would. Hope this helps :).

Yes.

Hi @Vomhorizon , I did not see someone answer your question. It is something where you will see 'credits' that you can use to purchase stuff from Tesla site when someone uses your referral to buy a Tesla vehicle or Solar panel. Tesla had a good referral program where using a reference would...

Thanks! It is Goodyear - can't remember the specifics - will let you know once I take a closer look.

I can see and feel your love for red. Initially, I was not so enthusiastic about the red exterior and we couldn't as we were limited by $55K cap for 5 seater for the IRS tax credit. You can see in my signature that I ordered W/W. However my wife likes red. So, when we found the red one at a...

Correct - as the parts need to be either marked or etched with the VIN. It does not necessarily mean that the vehicle is completed.

Final update: picked up our Tesla yesterday afternoon. It is absolutely gorgeous. I am really happy and glad that I switched the color to Red and the 20" induction wheels look amazing. I immediately forgot the frustrating and uncertainty around getting a VIN and the EDD saga I went through since...

Took delivery of our R/W/20 (5 seater) yesterday - absolutely gorgeous. Hope you get your soon and will immediately forget the frustrating uncertainty of delivery date saga that you just went through. Good luck to all!

Update: Last Sat 2/25, me and my wife went to the Tesla office for test drive and briefly spoke with our SA if we can get the car on or before 2/28. He said the car will possibly arrive on 2/28 and he will see what he can do. I texted the 510 number asking for an update this morning and within...

we have couple of common items :). I also ordered the lifting jack. Thanks for sharing the list :).

Hello, I just got them delivered last night, yet to open them - can post pics later. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B4N836H5/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B084BNC3FG?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details...

You have valid points - I also believe that a lot of orders were initially placed for MYLR 5 seaters with white interior and 19" wheels and delivery got pushed out as a result of not having production match the demand. On the other hand, a different combination - or less sought after model...

Hi, you mentioned something very important 'in inventory vehicle'. I am not sure how it is defined. In my case, the car was not in the Cleveland Tesla office lot - it was not yet shipped to Cleveland. It may be due to some internal Tesla algorithm that the car showed up under Cleveland search...

I am in the same 'boat', initial order was W/W/19 (5 seater) to remain under $55K (limit for tax credit at the time we ordered - 1/30). But saw a R/W/20 coming to Cleveland and was able to acquire it. I am not too thrilled about the 20" and would have rather get 19". But seeing 19" are in...

Good question - no double booking - just the initial one I paid $250 is all as the original order number was matched with the new vehicle. I see what you are saying. If you personally book a different car, then you would be paying additional $250, which would be difficult to get back. But if...

My initial order was MYLR (5 seater) W/W/19" on 1/30. Thanks to the forum, where I learned that there are some MY LR available in Cleveland area and by that time the $55K limit (to quality for IRS tax credit) on 5 seater was increased to $80K. We had to choose White exterior as white interior...

I read good discussions about cancelling order if tax credit is revised and instead of $7,500 we are to get $3,750. Some will cancel some will keep. For some of us who is taking delivery the first week (mine is 3/2) in March - we don't have much choice do we? I am not sure if IRS can come on...

Mine was honored.

Hi all, I think I read previously that the Tesla App can be deceiving and that we should check on the computer to ensure all pre-delivery tasks are completed to avoid delay. I completed everything: insurance, nothing to trade in, including payment (yes - a risky move). Delivery appointment is...

For those who have delivery scheduled on 3/1 to 3/3, have you thought about asking the SA if there is anyway you can take delivery on 2/28? I am asking this because my delivery is scheduled on 3/2 and asked my SA if it is possible. I just want to be on the safe side re: tax credit situation...

I can attest to the fact that Indiana Tesla office is putting them for us, I believe. I was at the office couple of days back and saw someone taking delivery of a new MYLR and the SA was same as mine. I asked the SA about mud guards and PPF and he said, YES - 'our cars come with these' - so, I...

i think it is Fremont. The 11th digit/letter in the VIN tells the manufacturing location. If F, then Fremont.

Just saw couple of MYLR that would be available in Cleveland OH, or Pittsburgh, PA. Couple of choices/combination available. I initially ordered MYLR W/W/19" 5-seater to remain under initial $55K cap for tax credit. Then switched to R/W as my wife likes the red exterior and secured one from...

I am going to try one more thing when I go to the Tesla office tomorrow. My delivery is scheduled on 3/2 as I changed the original order of MYLR W/W/19" 5 seater to R/W/20" to match one showing up in the Cleveland office. Original order was on 1/30 and EDD was late Apr/early May. I found the...

I got something similar last night in my Tesla App when I was checking it.

I was at my local Tesla office (Indiana) the other day and saw someone taking a delivery of a new MYLR 5 seater. It happened to be my SA who was delivering the car to the new owners. I noticed the cat had mud guards and PPF on the rear door - lower part. I asked if all new cars come with them...

I got the red exterior with 20" induction wheels as it was available for early delivery, whereas I would be okay to have the 19" wheels :).

Thanks! Yes, I also didn't want to change the original config we ordered (W/W 5 seater 19" - no tow, etc.). And, we had no choice at the time as 5 seater had the $55K cap for the tax credit. My wife wanted white interior for sure. Given the timeline it would have taken to get the original...

I doubt that the TX buyer is 'stuck'. Maybe reject the car if there are 'serious issues', and wait in line for the next one? I am sure if there are serious issues, they will allow rejection. But if there are issues - for example, the car is as per 'Tesla specs', but the buyer is not happy and...
