VIN DAY!!! Just checked the mobile ap for the millionth time and immediately noticed it looked different. My EDD had changed from 3/20--3/31 to 2/21 - 2/27, and I had a VIN assigned! My VIN is 471, which seems fairly recent (though I'm sure isn't new enough to have new lights, which is fine). No email or text from Tesla yet, but I would think that would be coming soon as the car must already have arrived in KC with such a short EDD.
So if this holds, my total time from order to delivery will be right at 8 months. Painful enough for sure, but I know there are many on this forum who ordered earlier than I did (I'm RN1151 from 6/28), and I have no idea why the Tesla Monkey chose me at this point.
Now I have to decide whether to keep the FSD I had ordered (for $10k). I know it's mostly worthless, but I did really like the auto lane-change feature in my last Model S w/FSD, and I liked that it stopped at stop signs and lights automatically.
I also need to lock down financing quickly. I had selected the Cash option when I ordered, as I wasn't sure what I'd want to do, but now I do think I'd like to take advantage of the low-rate financing from DCU or my credit union. I know this forum doesn't allow anyone to provide me with a direct referral to DCU, but if anyone would like to share their "DCU experience" with me via PM, I'd like that.
Time to download the delivery checklist and prepare for a road trip to KC next week!
