Thanks. This is what I found on the source: showInsuranceBlockInNextSteps":false,"vin":"5YJXXXXXXX182889","insuredVIN":null, Hopefully this mean the car is in production.

I don't know about the "2 weeks" timeline but "by June 29th" is probably a good bet.

Well, I can say this for me anyway.... it's June 29th or not at all. Budget doesn't allow for it. I'll wait for the pickup.
I thought "estimated May" was a good bet given all the improvements Tesla has supposedly done to delivery logistics. Boy was I wrong.
They wouldn't deliver to me without final payment.
You don't have to sign the paperwork if you have issues with the vehicle at inspection.
I bought a pre raven 2019 performance inventory a few days ago that had the ventilated seats - they work really well, very happy with them BUT I’m hoping I didn’t make a mistake not getting the raven updates. Especially the new suspension as I prefer a sporty responsive feel. I could still take this one back and pay the ~18k for the upgrades but would lose free supercharging and these seats
I say return it and get the raven. The Sport Mode is awesome - and sounds like you have a chance to possibly get the ventilated seats with a new Performance model
delivery delayed 4 times now. service center called the delivery people and they said my car still needs the new government sticker. when i asked why some got the sticker and others not he didn't have an answer. ordered April 9th. haven't paid yet because i really want to see first to make sure it's a complete raven. wondering if paying beforehand would speed up this magic bs sticker / delivery?
I took delivery of a Raven Performance X with Ludicrous and it has standard white seats. No cooling. VIN 18*420 LOL
Have you experienced them? It's basically just a perforated seat with a loud computer fan mounted to the bottom of the seat under the foam.
There’s no sound difference or fan noise when I turn mine on. The seat actually feels colder like it’s tied in to the A/C

Hi, my name is SabrToothSqrl, and I’ve only checked for a VIN 8 times today.
Yes, moving of the 2nd row is not as easy as a minivan. Also, my delivery specialist did not show me how to correctly move the second row to get into the 3rd. What he showed me was to fold the seat then slide forward. When you do this, the seat does not slide all the way forward so there is no space to step in (you would have to step on the folded seat to get in).
The correct way is to use the button on the seat (like the button on the 3rd row seats - located on the outboard shoulder). This folds the seat half way then the seat can be slid all the way forward leaving floor space to step into the 3rd row.
We are very happy with the 7 seat config. There is plenty of room in the 3rd row - even for me at 5’10”. Even sliding the 2nd row forward halfway gives both the 2nd and 3rd row passengers plenty of leg room. There is also plenty of headroom (something I was worried about).
That being said, my 8 and 5 year old kids can get themselves out of the 3rd row without difficulty. Now I just need to keep them away from the falcon wing doors when they open...
