Any Southern California VIN assignments/deliveries for folks who configured after 6/27??

I took deliver yesterday in Costa Mesa. Overall it was smooth given how busy they were. I came 45 mins late and still only waited no more than 30 mins to get the car.

After 5mins with paperwork and quick tutorial, the representatives said I can park the car outside to inspect the car. It was a hot day and with no shade at the Costa Mesa delivery center, it made it difficult for me to do a thorough inspection. Found a small paint and the glove box wouldn't open. They brought the car to the back and fixed those issues within 30 mins. I found another paint issue afterwards, but by then I was so sweaty and hot parked right under the afternoon sun, I didn't bring it up to the reps. After getting home, I noticed the rear door seals didn't look all flush. Both issues I feel are fairly minor, just debating now if I should contact Tesla about it. Sitting under hot sun during inspect sort of made me wish this car has ventilated seats!

Overall, it's a fine car so far

Sounds like an interesting experience! Interested to hear how you handle the rear door seals.

What was your VIN#?? Mine is in the 39xxx range. I wonder if I will encounter the same door seal issue.

Haven't received mines yet.

I finally got my VIN! Deliv3ry is scheduled on 7/29. My VIN is in the 49xxx range! Not sure what that means but I am excited!!

ISA keep saying that the contracts team are behind.

Any tips for my delivery?

I would definitely have the seals redone. And while its there, rub out the paint (bubbles?).

Have not heard anything yet, but saw my Estimated Delivery Date went from Oct. - Dec. to now Aug. - Oct.

Fingers crossed!

Took delivery in San Diego today!!!

Totally worth the wait! Delivery was a cake-walk and the only issue I found with the car was a red mark on the material on the interior driver door. My delivery specialist got a wet rag and wiped it off clean.

I'd be lying if I said I was expecting a perfect car in terms of panel alignment and quality, but I did not find anything! Maybe I was just too excited.

Car drives like a dream. Can't wait to have more fun with it tonight and tomorrow.

Also, I received a die-cast model with my car as well. Terrific surprise!

Got the call today from Tesla. Waiting to book delivery (San Diego). Details in signature below...

Edit: delivery Thursday 2nd. Could’ve been as early as 7/31!

Not bad for a fresh reservation on 7/2

 

[miltymoots]

VIN is 47xxx

 

[SDRetrievers]

Congrats! Now the worst part of waiting!!

My San Diego delivery was a breeze and I am sure yours will be as well.

Thanks - hard part now is also getting the garage ready in time (and getting the power installed!!)

Thank you all for your responses in this post! I finally took delivery only my M3 on Friday at Costa Mesa! The car is everything and more that I was waiting for...

Congrats to everyone else who’s already taken delivery!!

And to those who are waiting...hang in there... it will definitely be worth the wait )

Beautiful!! I got the same car as you last weekend. Looks as pretty as mine! Definitely everything and more!

Nice! Looks like the one I ordered on 7/21 in San Diego. I got the Aero wheels, however (looks like the car across the room in your picture!) I have not heard anything from Tesla and my Edit button is still there. Of course, it's only been 10 days.

I have read that orders that are for Cash are possibly getting fulfilled faster than outside financing. One question I have...If I am bringing a check from my Credit Union combined with a personal check for the full amount, isn't that considered cash to Tesla??

Yes, that is what I am doing myself. Have not had any issues. Perhaps it's some other backlog.

 

[VT_EE]

Exactly what I thought....mine is 36xxx... so probably kind of middle of the pack I’m assuming...
As long as there are no major issues i’d be ok. Even people from the early days/VINs are ecstatic about their cars. Fingers crossed!

I’m picking up in MD next week. VIN ~31k. VINs are all over the place.

Did you choose Outside Financing or Cash? I currently have Outside financing, but considering changing it to cash.

I said cash initially, and then when they inquired, I told them I am bringing a cashiers check from a credit union, and the rest on a personal check. They updated online to reflect Financing: Credit Union (50k) and the rest was under: downpayment. Im scheduled to pick up on Friday morning.

 

[SDRetrievers]

I don’t think anyone knows for sure if financing vs cash matters in terms of order priority. What I do know is cash strictly means you are paying out of pocket I believe.

Sounds like if you choose cash and then tell them you are financing through CU anyway, they change it

I ordered p3d without puo early july. Changed color from silver/white to black/black in mid july.
My edit button disappeared pretty much immediately. Used JS trick to see VIN was 71xxx.

Scheduled delivery for 8/5

 

[pleeau]

Looked up my exact details.

Order was placed 7/25. Delivery call 7/31. Scheduled for 8/5. Current owner.
