Wait .. wait.. Elon moved all the employees from sales, office, admin, delivery centers to Fremont to support the assembly line and now he is moving them all back to deliver the cars and many may be driving and delivering all day, all week long till mid-night of Sept 30th. Transitioning will happen to support the "new hell" as old hell is not an issue any more with over production/over supply. If someone is waiting for M3 today, it is not due to lack of production and it's primarily due to logistics night mare to match and deliver. All our cars are sitting and collecting dust somewhere.

I'm scheduled to take delivery the morning of 9/24. My VIN was assigned yesterday (9/18) sometime between 3pm and 6pm.
I won't be surprised if the delivery is delayed due to all the logistical issues they've been experiencing. I'm certainly not complaining. I'm thrilled to be getting my M3 before the snow flies.
voip-ninja, thanks for filling in for the_danimal!

I just got mine two days prior to scheduled delivery. If you haven't already, you might try giving them the order agreement document. In my non-banker/lawyer position, it seems like that covers the same thing, just minus the VIN.

Can you delay the payment until the time of delivery?
Or has to be 1 day in advance?
Quick update for those wondering the timing of certain events:
9/6 Delivery email (scheduled for 9/22)
9/18 VIN assigned
9/19 Final MVPA in account
Will be picking up vehicle at a delivery center. Account asking for final payment to be made prior to delivery, but I confirmed that I can pay at delivery (including by personal check).
Also I can still add FSD for the $3,000 price up until delivery. Would require a new final MVPA though.

Good to know. I also received the Delivery email 9/6 (scheduled for 9/24). From your post, I should expect the VIN to be assigned Friday 9/21. We shall see {fingers crossed}.
No. Once you make payment you are the owner. Transport is a non-involved 3rd party, just the delivery mechanism. Any issues with the vehicle are between you and Tesla after delivery. No pre-inspection before payment is possible in this scenario.
Funds have to be IN their account prior to delivery. No personal checks, no credit cards, no anything you can subsequently cancel or void.
I'm scheduled for a delivery on Saturday Sept 22. I have heard nothing, no email, no call, no VIN, no car, no delivery specialist.
But I've called a few times and the person I talk to says this is normal.

This is not what I was told at all. The delivery center in Tampa told me to bring the credit union draft check, along with a personal check for the remaining down payment.
Well go with what they said. What I've been told is ACH funds to Tesla no later than 24 hrs in advance of delivery.
And just got the dreaded call. "Logistics issues" and delivery delayed from the 22nd to the 28th. Interesting that they only had dates then or the 29th, will have to take a day off from work. Anything past the first of the month I was told I'd have to get in contact with the advisor. Delivery hell begins for me...
Was told my VIN stays with me but that it will disappear until 7 days before that date (it's already gone, MVPA still there), but delivery appointment date has been updated.

This is a direct cut and paste from the Delivery email I received. I am going by this because my delivery advisor has ignored ALL my questions on payments and finance. It even says to bring your checkbook.
"
Payment
Cash Payment If you plan to pay with cash, we accept ACH payment through your account the day before delivery, or cashier's checks made out to "Tesla, Inc." Without quotation marks.
3rd Party Payment If you plan to finance through a 3rd party bank
· Please upload your pre-approval details online.
· Once paperwork is submitted, and shortly before delivery, we will be able to provide you a purchase agreement to send to your lender. They will need the purchase agreement in order to finalize the loan on their end and release funds.
· Note: please be sure all registrants are listed on the loan.
Tesla Lending If you plan to finance through Tesla Lending
· Log into your Tesla and fill out the credit application. You can accept financing online once your application has been reviewed. This typically happens within 48 hours.
Credit cards are not accepted for final payment. Please bring your checkbook."
I paid ach and credit union check at delivery after inspection. This was aug 27th.
No problems at all.
I specifically asked this question with my DA. She verified bringing a bank cashier's check is acceptable or ACH is another option.
I would personally rather use ACH for security, however I'm going to bring the check in case my car has issues and I reject

I'm seeing numerous posts with delays for delivery, where Tesla is pushing out the appointments by a few days likely due to logistics. My 9/23 delivery was cancelled on Monday with no option to reschedule for "a few weeks." No response from my Delivery Advisor so the reason is a mystery. Anyone else, other than ConcordeSST receive a cancellation notice with no new delivery date?
Last sentence and first sentence completely contradict each other. One cannot issue a stop-payment to a cashiers check, a check from checkbook can be stopped. But, again, do what they instruct.

Did you try calling the scheduling line? See my earlier posts above. They might be able to give you a new time (whatever good it will do). Worked for me.

I did not mean to imply ONLY ACH. I meant to imply not a stoppable / insufficient funds possible check. One can issue a stop-payment on a personal check. A personal bank account could lack sufficient funds. A cashier's check or union check (non-personal) arguably can't. The point being Tesla wants to be paid, not litigate an insufficient funds 'bounce' or attempt to repossess the car.
