I know this has been asked but have we determined that most VIN notifications come via text/email or just by stumbling upon it through the account page? I just want to make sure my repeated refreshing isn’t all a waste of time.

I still haven't gotten a notification about my VIN, it just showed up randomly. Couple of days later I got my automated scheduling text.

If anyone in the PNW is interested in a demo car, Tesla’s existing stock shows a TON of 2021 LR and SR+ demos in Portland and Seattle. They just appeared in the last hour. The LRs all have FSD or I’d think seriously about it.
If it’s the FSD that’s holding you back, that’s just software. They’ll happily remove it and reduce the price by 10 K.

Funny, I just checked earlier, and didn't see them. Are you using ev-tsla.com by chance? Not sure of a better site to check.

I'm in same boat as you - I'd seriously consider, if it weren't for the FSD inclusion.

Does Tesla still charge destination and doc fees on a demo vehicle? What about transport fees? I didn't see any listed for the demo vehicles that popped-up in Southern California for example.

FSD can easily be removed.

That’s going to look nice! I’m personally not a fan of the really dark tint. I think the car looks better when you can see through the windows a little bit.
I get tint for two reasons, heat rejection and some privacy behind the rear seats for packages I don’t want people seeing. That means probably a 30% rear side window ceramic tint. I’m ambivalent on putting a 70% tint on front side windows, but I am concerned about UV/IR transmission, so probably will. No tint on windshield. I want to be able to see out clearly at night. I’m also waiting to see how dark the roof is. From photos it appears the roof is quite dark, only clearing at the extreme rear so rear view mirror is practical.

Just ordered today. White/Black. Let the adventure and the waiting begin.
I’d expect your delivery to be the end of June. Tesla delivers east to west, starting in Europe, and builds in batches. I’ve been waiting since January 2 here in Sacramento, CA, with an expected delivery of the end of March. The only exceptions appear to be people picking up local stock.

Just like @DarkAbyss my dates continue to be pushed back into an ever-shrinking window.
Estimated March 28-31 (yesterday was 27-31).
No VIN
White on White, 19"
Kansas City

If this keeps up, I fear that I will be pushed into April. My SA has told me for the last two weeks that I should get my VIN 'this week'.

Hey all, pulled the trigger last night, ordered a white/black in NY. Was approved for the 2.49 loan pretty fast and asked for a better rate, got 2.39 from chase which isn't a huge change but every little bit helps.

And now the waiting game begins, kind of hoping I get lucky here and get it in this quarter.

Same here. I just have 18" rims. I found a M3LR in Tampa with your exact configuration. It had a "Buy now" option. I asked my wife if I should get the SA to match us to it, but she wanted to stick with the 18" rims.

Link for reference: 2021 Model 3 | Tesla

After thinking about this for a little bit, maybe that means we are close to getting our VINs since it goes East to West.

My delivery date was 3/13-3/30 yesterday, and was expecting it to change to 3/14-3/30 since it has been pushed back daily by a day, but now it shows 3-5 weeks.
