    Re-Match = Older VIN. Why?

    To be fair, not doing them sequentially has the same effect since people think they do.

    Re-Match = Older VIN. Why?

    My VIN is 35XXX, built in June. I picked it up at the beginning of July. I know they aren't working in perfect sequential order, but my guess is both of yours were built in July. You'll be fine.

    Adding FSD before VIN assignment

    I added FSD a week or so before I got my VIN. For me, it didn't delay anything. Keep in mind that I was in the last batch of cars before the floodgates were opened, so no idea what it would do now. Since it is just a software change, it really shouldn't delay anything, but you never know. I say...

    Dashboard scratches

    I bought an accordion sunshade on Amazon way before I got my car. After I got it, I looked at the reviews on Amazon for some reason and saw one that said it scratched up their dashboard. They included a picture and it looked bad. So, I haven't used my sunshade yet as I'm too frightened to...

    Should I have my headlight adjusted?

    Hard for me to say. It looks ok in a couple pictures, but pretty bad in a couple. I'd probably do this: If it was all I thought about when I got in and out of the car, I'd get it fixed. Otherwise, I'd skip it. So, in your case, my vote would be to skip it. One question, since the gap looks...

    Feature Request: Mirror auto fold tied to HomeLink

    I was surprised it didn't have this as a toggle somewhere. I also noticed that I fold my mirrors when I pull into my garage, but the next morning when I get in and back out, they are still folded and the screen makes me click "Fold" and then "Unfold". It doesn't remember what state they were in...

    2018.24.7 firmware

    Is 24.7 just bug fixes to 24.1? I'm on 24.1 and have all the features shown in the pics above.

    What are you doing hanging out around all those kids with a car nobody can see in?

    Opticoat Pro+Xpel Ultimate vs. Xpel Ultimate Can U Tell the Difference?

    Hard to tell as they both look fantastic. But give those tires some love!

    My 'home' delivery experience

    I disagree. That car was filthy. I’d be embarrassed to show it off like that too!

    Home delivery or pick up at delivery center?

    I would hope they deliver it on a truck, but who knows? Just remember that you are the customer. So even if the delivery isn't on a truck and the guy has his 9-month pregnant wife waiting in another car, take your time and make sure the car is perfect.

    At what point do you own the car?

    What I was told is that you aren't the owner until you take delivery. I had asked this question more for figuring out my delivery date and if the tax credit would affect when my car was shipped. You still sign for everything when the car arrives, so any pre-done paperwork is basically not in...

    At what point do you own the car?

    I know several people in Texas had problems at delivery and refused the car. Tesla assigned new cars to them. However it is worded, it seems like possession is the key, not when it is handed over to the transport company.

    Did Model 3 colors Red and White increase from $1,000 to $1,500?

    They charge you an extra $500 for white because you are actually getting 2 colors - White for the car and beige for the rear bumper. I kid. I'm getting white, so I just jinxed myself...

    4/18 Invites

    I'm in Austin, but we might be on the same truck. Our cars can be buds, briefly!

    Has Tesla told anyone their true place in line after they get the car?

    They will never release that info. Their "line" is a rough estimate with some weird randomness thrown in. Add in moving people around to help with tax rebates (some states and Canadian residents, for example) and it throws any order out of whack. I saw so many people getting their cars who...

    4/18 Invites

    tl;dr Just waiting on a delivery date. As of this past Friday morning, I have fully paid Tesla for my car (loan + bank transfer for remaining amount). This shows on my account as well. The only thing left is to schedule delivery. I was hoping to have that done last Friday as well, but my ISA...

    VIN 354xx just assigned! Just have to pay the difference after my loan so they can ship it to TX.

    VIN Assignment

    I'm in Austin too. Configured 4/19, but at 2 a.m., so only a few hours past 4/18. Come on Tesla, the truck is already heading this way! Waiting sucks...

    Deliveries have ceased - where are all the cars going?

    I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. The tax credit will be cut in half starting in 2019, then half again for Q3 and Q4 of 2019, then gone.

    Deliveries have ceased - where are all the cars going?

    That's been my worry/question for a while. Assuming I'm in the "pushed to July for tax credit reasons" group, will Tesla wait until July to give me a VIN, pushing actual delivery out several weeks with time for financing and shipping added in, or will they give it mid-June and ship the car so I...

    4/18 Invites

    Sorry, I don't know any more. My guess is that is a sign you have a VIN, but I can't be sure. I guess I could go in and change my financing to cash (so all is green) and then change it back to see, but I don't want to poke the bear at this point. I'm 7 weeks from configuring today, so I don't...

    What to expect for paperwork and process?

    It sucks, and I hope it all works out for you. It seems so crazy that Tesla doesn't have their process ironed out, but then it reminded me of something: I go to a restaurant that has terrible service. Takes forever to get seated and to get anything you ask for once you do. The seats and tables...

    Go to your account and click "Manage". If you are on a mobile device, you need to expand the "Your Vehicle" dropdown at the top right. "Edit Design" is listed in there. If you are not on a mobile device, you can see it under Tesla's phone number on the right hand side under where your RN is...

    HPWC trick over?

    Tomorrow will be 7 weeks of waiting, and my only comfort was refreshing my cart in hopes a VIN would show. Now that's gone. And I did pick white and was offended by your hate speech, so I reported you to Tesla. ;) TM

    Push back email - JUNE / JULY Configs

    While I can't be 100% sure, it seems as simple as configuring before 4/19 pushed you to June. Configuring on or after pushed you to July. Now, I am betting there are some outliers that don't work in that pattern, but it may have to do with filling up delivery trucks or something. Just a guess. I...

    Order estimate pushed back

    Supercharging credits is what my wife said should be given. Well, she said a free year. It wouldn’t even cost Tesla that much since I’d guess most people wouldn’t use them that often. Oh well, I guess others would complain they didn’t get freebies. I’m all for extending the tax credits and...

    VIN Assignment

    I just got the email too. Mine says pushed to July. I was invited on 4/13 but had to wait until 4/19 to configure. July seems so far away. I’m bummed! TM

    This may be why we are not getting VINs?

    That's cool if it's true. I still find it hard to believe they'd only give their customers a 7-day notice to secure a loan, deal with insurance, sell an old car, etc. To be fair, I've taken care of all of that already. I'm driving a borrowed 2007 Toyota Yaris until I get my car. The good thing...

    This may be why we are not getting VINs?

    If this is the actual plan, it is a bit odd for sure. Could just be what the CS people were told to say? I don't know. Again, for Texans there is no delivery until you get a VIN and pay them, so it can't be the final solution. At least that's what I tell myself... TM

    This may be why we are not getting VINs?

    This is a good theory, but I'm in Texas. I have to pay for the car completely before they will even ship it. I need the VIN way before a week from delivery. So this solution doesn't work for everyone. TM

    Was suppose to pick up the my M3 today but...

    Man, that sucks. Sorry to hear that. I'm still waiting for my car (configured over a month ago), but I'm not sure what I would do in your spot. I think I would look at the car after it was fixed, find out exactly what was fixed, then make my decision. If it was just a discolored bumper or...
