When I went for a test drive after having a Q3 for 2 years I thought, ah fantastic the seat is nice and low.
Rear visibility is fine for me, I wouldn't say it's a micro back window at all.
I had a similar ordering scenario. The first time I knew for certain the order had been placed was when I received an email from Tesla inviting me to set up an on-line account. When that's been set up, others have said they can find a hidden VIN on their account page (there's a chrome add-in for this), but that's never appeared for me and I collect my car on Tuesday (ordered 21st Nov 2019).
Is there any reason to believe (or fear) that the end of quarter push will mean the quality of fit and finish would go down?
I realise that's a bit of an emotive and unknowable question, but given my car is on the GLOVIS CAPTAIN which seems to be the last ship coming in before end of Q1, I have a worry - perhaps irrational - that any kind of delay in getting to Zeebrugge, or onward to Southampton, or on from there would translate to limited (rushed?) time for PDI, etc (assuming that even happens).
Then there's the fact there would presumably have been a greater push to make cars to get them on that boat. Faster production = lower quality?
I'm quite willing to be told I'm completely overthinking it, I just wonder to myself how "dangerous" it is to get a car that is coming right at the end of the quarter push.

I can’t imagine they would’ve tried to speed up the production, not enough to be an issue anyway! Most of it is robots now anyway. It seems the quality of Tesla’s have flown up in the last few years so i don’t think you need to worry, just have a really good look over the car before taking delivery! Bring along the delivery checklist!
Yes I've just had delivery text too. Was offered 26/27 March and picked 26 March
Black/Blue M3P
Ordered: 12/02/2020
Hidden VIN: 18/02/2020
Wow, fingers crossed I get mine soon then as I got my VIN around the same time!
Almost as soon as I finished posting the above, I got my text too! Picked March 25th
I went with 10am, figured it gets me out of there around lunchtime, so we can stick it on a supercharger somewhere and grab a bite to eat.Out of idle curiosity what times have you guys chosen? I've got a choice of 10am, 12pm, 2pm and 4pm.
Yeah. I went on to my Tesla account "Manage" page expecting there to be a link on there too, but it looked no different at all. No option to choose date, no indication that the status is now "waiting for appointment confirmation", etc.
If I hadn't had the text for whatever reason I'd be none the wiser about them expecting me to give a delivery date within 24 hours.
