2 week delivery window, but no VIN

[ahimberg]

very unpredictable, the advice I'd give is to not get your hopes up, target the end of your delivery window and be surprised if its early.

personally, I got a VIN last week, but while going back and forth to get the final MVPA finished, my DS went on vacation -- tomorrow it will be a week that I've been waiting for a response and updated paperwork. (I know from talking to someone else in the delivery team that my car status was 'done, ready for shipping' -- I have no idea if its still at the factory or sitting in Seattle waiting for the MVPA and check to go through.) Maybe tomorrow my DS will be back and i'll hear something.

Last week my DS said I should expect a vin some time this week. I will call to find out but from what I am seeing in this thread I doubt it since I'm sequence #12,848

See, now, I don't even have a DS - or at least, one that I'm aware of. Does that contact come by email or do you have to call?

When I called the build my Model S hotline last week, they gave me a window, activated my delivery button, and gave me the name and # of my inside DS. They suggested I could call my DS around the end of the month to see if I had a VIN (If I hadn't heard from them yet).

Just spoke with the inside delivery team and they revised there earlier estimate of VIN to next week for me. They said vin usually comes a few days before the beginning of the delivery windows with vehicles and that vehicles take between 6 hours - 10 days to complete. They also said that if you will pick your car up in person at the factory it will shave days off your delivery window so the vehcile come 3-5 days earlier.

I'm in the group too, estimate was Jan 27-Feb 10, having finalized on 12/19. I'll email my Product Specialist (not totally sure how that differs from a Delivery Specialist, but the last email I had from my PS said that he'd let me have the VIN when available) for an update....money-wise, I wouldn't mind it being mid-Feb, but patience-wise, tomorrow would be just fine

For what it's worth: I was in a similar position a week ago today. I had a VIN, all paperwork done, car done, but they wouldn't/couldn't give me a delivery update. I was told the car was still at the factory. On the same day, I received a call from the truck asking if I'd be home in 8 hours (I live a LONG way from Fremont)! Boom...car delivered that evening half way across the country from the factory. It's just like pregnancy...you've hit your due date and delivery can happen at any time! Have your bag packed!

I just called and my VIN popped up this morning delivery window Jan 22-Feb 5.

DrMikki, my VIN is #4222, looks like we will probably receive them on the same day

Looks like people are all over the board in terms of receiving a VIN and taking delivery. Talked to my DS today. Still no VIN which, in her words, means it hasn't even entered the production line. However, the guy I talked to yesterday made it sound like it was out on the line. Anyhow, Jan 29-Feb 12....awaiting the VIN so I can move ahead with paperwork.

I can hope for something similar, but i'm doubting it given they don't have all my money yet. I did get some info from my DS today that I needed to give them a check with the non-financed portion so the mvpa paperwork could show the remaining amount for financing with my bank, so I did that -- hand delivered cashiers check to tesla showroom, but still don't have the updated paperwork yet.
Also, at least according to their system my car is still in fremont ready for shipping. I think the updated paperwork should get to me tomorrow, then maybe I'll get a seattle service center contact about the delivery. So frustrating when I see other cars getting their delivery in seattle that finished production the same day as mine .

In the same boat. Delivery window 1/23 - 2/6. Called in today and a VIN has not been assigned yet.

Exciting!! I'm hoping to have final paperwork signed tomorrow (had to give lien-holder info to my DS late this afternoon). I'd love to get a surprise delivery call :3 Wish supercharger network extended from the factory to Phoenix; I'd gladly pick it up...

Got my vin today. I finalized on 12/17; delivery window: 1/21-2/4; S and Penfed check should both be ready by Monday. lLauren Cato, DS, worked late into the night yesterday to get the paperwork in form acceptable to PenFed. Thanks Lauren! Tesla seems to be on track and exceeding it's delivery commitments.

Got mine late last night after emailing my PS, 4287.

in the words of 1993... NOT!

 

[DrMikki]

Got final paperwork signed today, PenFed check should be here by Tuesday .

I called and left a message yesterday, had a return call this morning with my VIN (4212), which they said was issued yesterday. Was told approximately two weeks for delivery - didn't ask if that meant for it to be put on a truck or to be here. Either way, the timing is unfortunate, as I'll begin a two-week trip out of state exactly two weeks from today. No shortage of people willing to take delivery on my behalf, of course.

 

[kinddog]

got VIN just now... #4382

delivery window stays. no other information.

yay.

 

[KKlabunde]

Was just told that I am done in production and awaiting transport to Chicago!

P2619, VIN 4065

 

[MikeC]

Congrats, Lightning Jeff and kinddog! Got mine, too - 4375

 

[KKlabunde]

Got a call from my DS to introduce himself and schedule...wohoo! Went from no VIN, to a VIN, to car on a truck, and to scheduling delivery well within my window in very short order!!! Thank you, Tesla.
