Anyone received delivery of 2019 'Raven' Refresh?

Yup, everything completed the same day. A month and no VIN. There have been a number of posts by folks who are being told by their delivery reps that Tesla is no longer producing on demand, but rather mass producing then matching production to orders.

Unfortunately for those of us buying M X, if true this turns into the proverbial lottery. Tesla has reduced staff, and reduced M X factory runs by 1/2 by ending the evening shift. Elon also stated that their main focus is on the M 3. Such an approach would explain why deliveries on the spreadsheet are no where close to sequential.

On the upside my Delivery rep did report that she could see my order was in production - but that there was still no vin match. This phrasing could support, or counter either production theory. The down side is that I read (from last year while the M X production line was running dual shifts) that it took 9 days to produce an X. With that down to 1 shift does this mean I am still 3 weeks out?

I dunno. It will arrive when it arrives - hopefully without issue.

"Delivery rep did report that she could see my order was in production"
What a cluster F*&^ S & X orders have turned in to. (unless you are on the west coast) How can someone see your car in production when we don't actually get a car in production anymore? When one comes available it is assigned? or They are made to order and an see yours? WOW Tesla!!

Me... East coast and now 30+ days with no word no peep but lots crickets chirping

Dude. I just got an email from the delivery specialist that was helping because my owner advisor went mia who CC’d TWO more people and all they are trying to find out is if my car has the carbon that was supposed to be added off menu before it got put back on menu again. It is a complete *sugar* show. I told them let me just cancel and re order. I feel like that I’d actually get a car faster that way. This is so unbelievable.
 
That was for @thejester322 - He was asking where it was on the web page.
Thanks, yeah I don't see that in mobile or web.

No VIN here, I've submitted payment info, trade-in is still sitting at pending (because of pay off), I would hope that wouldn't block things from proceeding. Going to call my delivery specialist later today, he was on vacation recently, so hopefully thats why it's been so quiet.
 
I'm curious, has anybody tested the new higher supercharging rate on these? If no, has anybody created plots to show what a theoretical 200kw charge rate on V3 would look like for a LR Model X?
Also anybody with the LR can you verify what you maximum AMP rate is? There is nothing on the web and all LR / 100kWh batteries last year came with up to 72AMP charging. I am driving my wife's X75D until my new arrives and it's 48AMP and is a little slow when we need to juice up after my daily commute and we need to get back out.

Eagerly awaiting this info. 48A charging sucks. When I asked local sales people they said 100kWh cars came with 72A, but we all know these guys are in the dark, they're just repeating last year's info. Another person in CA told me they all come with 48A only now.

It is right on Tesla's site: Onboard Charger

Tesla doesn't make a 72 amp charger for the NA/single phase market anymore.

It might be 200 kW from 10-15% SoC, or from 5-80%.

Until someone actually tests it and records data, I don't think we have any way of making useful guesses.

OMG NOOOOOO....I certainly hope it is a purchasable Service Center upgrade like it was on my 2017 S100D. I never use SuperChargers but often actually need/want the 72AMP home charging.

Meanwhile I have just emailed my local Service Center to see if the new models are upgradeable. I'll post back if I hear any news at all.

I asked my local service center last month and they said $2500, but again, I think they are in the dark, especially for new models. My plan, if my car ever arrives, is to check the PN myself, hopefully it's identical to the old 48A, meaning there is hope to upgrade. Tesla service may still refuse to do the upgrade, will have to go aftermarket.

I certainly hope Tesla didn't downgrade their top models. That 3rd phase board that gets it to 72A is probably only $50 in cost if done in the factory. Then again, I don't know why EVERY Model S/X doesn't come with 72A.

I have been stuck here since 5/21/19. I don't have a delivery person to bug... should I?
I thought I saw an online chat, but now can't find it..?

Any reason you haven't finished the payment section? That doesn't require payment; I finished mine even though I'm using a third-party lender. Not sure that has any impact on your time frame; just saying I went further than you even though I haven't paid anything (or even finalized the loan--just chose the lender).

If it's like my order, you can't do it. Not that I'd want to give them that much money with no sign of the car.
