This wasn't my SA but the delivery center where my car is being delivered so I do have a bit more certanty that this could actually be realMy SA told me "soft matches aren't a thing anymore", so I have no idea lol.
11514 - ordered 6/14/21 - MS LR, MSM w/BLK, 21's and FSDThat is good to know. I have been told I was soft-matched with cars to go into production before, but never one that was already built and has a VIN. I believe maybe it's loaded onto a frame to be in-transit and are waiting to have a firm idea of when it will arrive at my delivery center to then assign the VIN to my account and set a delivery date up. This may be different with it being EOY too, I am not sure.
When you were told you were soft matched before, did they call you to tell you that or is that what your SA/Tesla support told you when you've called? I've been told it when I was called before, but never have they called me about it.
Edit: also coincides with their text asking if I wanted to trade in my vehicle last Friday, them telling me it's built and in transit it was likely matched with my account on Friday and now "in transit" waiting for accurate ETA to assign VN to me to schedule delivery. - Who knows we'll see
No discount is total BS given you have an open order. Especially if they are asking you to upgrade, they should honor your MS LR pricing window to upgrade to the Plaid. Otherwise, it makes no sense.Just got a text from Tesla asking if I wanted to switch out for Plaid, no discounts lol. There’s something going on with LR production. There has to be.
Yeah I’m not asking for the same pre price hike discount, but they have to throw something in there to make it enticing. Maybe even free FSD. That would be pretty good “discount”No discount is total BS given you have an open order.

They make more money making Plaids and model Xs. and since model Xs been in production they cant make model S since its off the same line.Just got a text from Tesla asking if I wanted to switch out for Plaid, no discounts lol. There’s something going on with LR production. There has to be.
I placed my order online on May 15 and put $100 down with a credit card. I picked it up on Dec 16 in Schaumburg which is one of the Chicago sales offices. Before delivery, I confirmed that a cashiers check was OK for payment. I financed the majority from dcu.org and had them send me the check with Fedex. I went to my local bank and bought a cashiers check for the remaining balance due. Brought both checks with me to my appointment. Tesla asked for payment when I arrived but I told them I wanted to inspect my car inside and out first. I did show them the two checks in advance before they gave me the key card for inspection.After one year, VIN assigned and delivery scheduled for this week! Delivery to my house. Was planning on handing over cashier's check after a successful inspection and acceptance of car. However, my SA just texted me "We do not accept cashier checks. You will need to compete payment on your Tesla app." Huh? I though many people used a cashier's check upon delivery. What is up?
Also, no confirmation on how the $2000 pre-refresh credit will be applied.
Sounds familiar. Had a VIN and appt confirmed for this Friday the 24th, but now the VIN is gone, no appt listed and EDD is back to 30-31 Dec.I'm in NJ too, and I got my VIN, and then lost it, on the same exact days that you did! Yet my account still shows my car getting delivered next Monday, Dec 27th, even though the VIN is missing.:

Or maybe they just want to get rid of all those plaid in stock.Just got a text from Tesla asking if I wanted to switch out for Plaid, no discounts lol. There’s something going on with LR production. There has to be.
I ordered a MYP a few days ago and EDD says I can get it 1/18-2/15. Wish this time it holds.I am now the proud owner of a Model 3 performance
I hope it does. After waiting for months. I pulled the trigger and got the M3PI ordered a MYP a few days ago and EDD says I can get it 1/18-2/15. Wish this time it holds.
Not sure how I feel about that. Guess I can kiss my January deliver EDD goodbye if that is accurate..Anyone else heard Model S Line in Freemont closes 12/24 for 18 days, just like last year? DAErik video, says internal memo. This just b/s or Could this be the re-tooling for the new tail lights? 31 mins in

I wouldn't stress about it.Not sure how I feel about that. Guess I can kiss my January deliver EDD goodbye if that is accurate..
Congratulations!!!! My stats are just behind yours....RN1149//15 May//LR Red with cream//latest EDD Jan 12 - Feb 9...no VIN yet, but with your news, hopefully, I will have those same feelings soon!Just received my delivery text and signed up for Saturday Dec 18 just before noon at the Schaumburg, IL location. Hard to believe that after 7 months I'll finally get my car!
My prior belief was a soft match had you in a batch of cars, and then then VIN would magically get assigned to you - seemingly before transit. Now? All bets are off.That is good to know. I have been told I was soft-matched with cars to go into production before, but never one that was already built and has a VIN. I believe maybe it's loaded onto a frame to be in-transit and are waiting to have a firm idea of when it will arrive at my delivery center to then assign the VIN to my account and set a delivery date up.

The VIN is stamped onto the body, the dashboard and it used to even be put on ICE engines. The flaw in your logic with Tesla is they really don't have a lot of combinations. With the MSLR, Five car colors, three interiors. The Plaid adds the Carbon fiber or wood choice, so another three variations on the interior. The software is a non-issue and wheels can be added later. Tesla makes what they make. White/black, Black/black and MSM/Black are obviously the most popular. They know what the car will be as it starts the assembly process and can match it to a buyer. When I bought my '17 MS, there were at least six options, more car colors, and many variations as that was a custom assembly line. At that time you chose air suspension, upgraded radio, different dash wood, premium package, three different roofs including a sunroof, and of course Enhanced autopilot or FSD.My prior belief was a soft match had you in a batch of cars, and then then VIN would magically get assigned to you - seemingly before transit. Now? All bets are off.
I do believe from my call yesterday that the VIN will get assigned when production is completed, the SA used the term "stamped" - I haven't looked closely at the S VIN but on every car I've had, I think the door panel is laser etched or stamped or something, and the dash seems to have some sort of riveted plate (but I can be mistaken)
I see no way to get that dash plate there unless there's either no windshield yet, or if it is inserted into the dash somehow - either before the dash is inserted, or slapped into the dash.
Either way, to me that means the VIN has to be inserted/installed BEFORE production is complete, but possibly not assigned until the car passes certain benchmarks.
unless they know they have a zillion of a certain set of colors/interiors, etc. going to a locale, i'd imagine they'd want to hard match the VIN to the purchaser, instead of building and shipping on spec and hoping there's enough demand for the combination of colors and wheels.
