    Paid for Autopilot... Not active on delivery

    Based on your photo, you don't have it in your car. Will need Tesla to activate it for you. The options for autosteer and auto lane change should be there upon delivery if you have EAP, even before driving the ~50 miles for calibration. Not a calibration issue for you.

    Texas Hold Up!

    I don’t think this is a universal thing. I never lost app access to the car from the moment I picked it up. Picked up on 8/23 in Houston.

    Texas Hold Up!

    Sticker on the inside of your driver door should have the manufacture date (month and year) on the top left. Mine is 7/18.

    Texas Hold Up!

    My FedEx packet arrived the day before my originally scheduled delivery date. It had the same instructions in bold underline to bring it to delivery appointment, but when I called the Houston North SC they twice recommended I just mail it back (in the included FedEx return envelope) ASAP, so I...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Your destination charge won’t be waived though, even if you pick it up in California. That’s a standard charge for people picking up the car anywhere, even if you pick it up in Fremont.

    Texas Hold Up!

    I don’t think your VIN will change. Several people have reported (it happened to me too) that the VIN temporarily disappeared from the account page whenever a delivery date had to be changed. My VIN eventually came back and it was the same.

    Texas Hold Up!

    I placed mine on June 30, but updated my order (color and wheel change) on July 1. Got car yesterday. Pretty sure some others who placed in July have received their cars. Not sure about August though.

    Texas Hold Up!

    So just an update on my delivery, which thankfully went well (I’m really sorry for all of you with long delays, I guess I got lucky in that my delay was less than a week): Got to my 4:00 pm pickup appointment at Houston North SC about 15 mins late (got tied up a bit at work and had to fight...

    Texas Hold Up!

    My VIN disappeared temporarily when they rescheduled my delivery date from 8/17 to 8/23. It came back later and was the same VIN I've had since the beginning when I received my MVPA. I wouldn't worry about it.

    Texas Hold Up!

    This is neat Lonestar. Wish we had this information the last few weeks lol. I checked mine and it was delivered at North Houston on 8/17 (which is the same as what Tesla told me). Mine doesn't show any other information (just origin Lathrop, destination North Houston). Where are you seeing all...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Got a call from North Houston service center earlier today—my car is ready! Passed PDI and detailed, washed, and temporary tags already on the car. Could pick it up anytime, but reminded them that I’m out of town till Wednesday night so confirmed my delivery appointment for Thursday 8/23!

    Texas Hold Up!

    They told me the same thing about the water. Apparently a major pipe in the area had burst and they haven’t had water at the service center for the past day and a half or so.

    Texas Hold Up!

    Yes it’s true. You don’t want to finance with Tesla anyway. Their rates are over 1% higher than several credit unions.

    Texas Hold Up!

    William ensured me that they would conduct the PDI as soon as they get the car (car is arriving tonight after hours, so he said tomorrow morning) and said they would let me know if there are issues. I stressed that I did not want them to delay the PDI just because I'm not picking the car up till...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Spoke to Houston North SC again, my car will arrive at the service center in a few hours (still on the truck) and they'll be able to start their pre-delivery inspection tomorrow morning. He wasn't sure if they would be done with it by the end of the day tomorrow, and said if I wasn't going out...

    Has anyone broken through the contracts/paperwork "freeze" yet?

    It's not the ISA who signs it. Mine was signed by Tesla 4 days after I signed it. But my credit union didn't need a signed MVPA, they funded as soon as I sent them the unsigned one, so I wasn't really pressing for them to get it signed. I think if you let your ISA know you need it to be signed...

    Awesome. Glad to hear it was a great experience and your car was flawless. Can’t wait to pick mine up!

    Texas Hold Up!

    That's great--they seem to have fixed their MVPA delay issues. Guess the letter of guarantee is something that's CU dependent...my CU never asked for one, they sent the payment the same day I sent them the MVPA.

    Texas Hold Up!

    Congrats Lonestar! Guess our cars weren't coming together. Be sure to be on lookout for my midnight silver metallic with aero wheels in case mine also magically got there earlier than they said :) Please also post back whenever you have a chance to let us know how the delivery experience went!

    Texas Hold Up!

    Yeah I know. I didn't press for details since in my case I'm going out of town and it's not a big deal for me if I pick it up next week, but I agree it's strange. He did mention "the truck driver called to let us know that is when it would be here." You would think their logistics are more...

    Texas Hold Up!

    Got a call from Tesla North Houston SC, my car is still not there. They're now expecting it to arrive tomorrow afternoon or Friday morning. He said they *might* be able to still have it ready for my original Friday afternoon delivery time, but more likely it won't be ready till Saturday morning...

    I hope they fixed their MVPA issues. A lot of us (myself included) waited 2 weeks for the MVPA after all details were finalized with the IDA.

    Texas Hold Up!

    Hope so! I didn’t call today and didn’t hear from them, but I’ll probably call tomorrow afternoon for an update.

    Texas Hold Up!

    I called them back in the afternoon and they picked up this time. They said my car was close, near Texarkana to be specific. I didn’t clarify if it was on a truck or train. He said it’s expected to arrive at the service center within 48 hours and I should be able to take delivery on time on...

    Texas Hold Up!

    I'm scheduled to take delivery this Friday at North Houston. Tried to call the service center this morning to make sure everything was still on schedule, left a voicemail, hoping they'll call me back later today.
