We’re also from WI and picking up at Highland Park on 9/29. We have been working with an IDA in Vegas. No direct contact w/ Highland Park since my husband called there 9/19 just to confirm our order was in the system. Will probably try to call HP before we start our 3 hr drive there on Sat. Would hate to get there and find out our car’s not ready.

We have the exact same configuration. I agree it has been stressful, but I’m trying to laugh it off and enjoy it-kind of feels like all of us are helping to make automotive history, and I’m willing to put up with some stress and uncertainty for that, and for what is going to be an incredible car!
Our MVPA also says 50 miles. I am guessing it’s because Tesla might have to put some miles on every car for final inspection, driving it on and off the carrier, moving it around the lot, etc. so they put 50 down because 0 would be dishonest.

Assuming you have VIN / MVPA, I would definitely recommend calling ahead. I mentioned a few pages back that I was rescheduled from Highland Park pickup for home delivery via Chicago - Grand Ave SC (what's listed on my MVPA). Inside Advisor mentioned a lot of deliveries were being rescheduled from there, perhaps just to make room for you Wisconsinites coming from the north into Illinois for a change

VIN was restored sometime this morning, but has changed to 098,xxx (was 104,xxx).
Later this afternoon, I received an email notification to sign for the serialized MVPA. Done.
... final stretch.

Had a great delivery today at Fremont delivery center. Overall, they seemed busy but not super busy.
Got there about 20 mins early, was told to walk around till they text me. After about 5 minutes the car was ready. It was sitting outside on the lot. Basically there were two guys (seemed like one was being trained) and they just stood around while we checked the car. Was never rushed but they did seem somewhat stressed out.
There were three of us and we checked every inch of the vehicle, going through the checklist. Panel gaps were great - no misalignment anywhere. The paint was in great condition (and car was clean) - found two very small basically pin size spots where it looked like they touched up, one on the passenger-side mirror, the other on the driver-side passenger door. Also the charging port door wasn't sitting completely flush but not too much out whack.
The interior everything was great expect the wood grain dash - it looked as if there were little cuts going along the wood grain. Not really sure if this is normal, perhaps someone can comment. Also, it's clear someone with dirty hands touched the b pillar, some black marks on it but it rubbed off easily.
Was given instructions to report all the defects within 72 hours via my Tesla account online. The delivery guy said it's a "grace period." Bring the car back and they'll try to rectify any problems.
After the car was checked, went inside to do paper work which took literally 3 mins. Had no trade-in or financing (unsecured loan). Signed maybe four places, gave the cashiers check, and given CVRP rebate form and copies of everything signed. After that just setup the car for bluetooth/entry and we were on our way.
Overall, couldn't have been happier with the delivery process. The car is AMAZING (looks, performance, autopilot, audio system, app). Her name is Niki - after grandpa Nikola - and I love her.

50 is something that's standard. All the MVPAs will have the same 50 on them. Our car was delivered with 6 or 7 I think.
First time post...
7/19/16: Reserved
7/2/18: Configured (AWD, Aero, EAP, Black, PWP)
7/7/18: Modified (AWD, Aero, EAP, Black, SMP)
9/6/18: Received email to schedule delivery from 9/25 to 10/2; replied within the hour with alternative days and times; never heard back despite multiple follow ups
9/8/18: Attended Kato Event in Fremont; dealt with chaos and was able to get a VIN match for delivery on 9/15
9/14/18: After ~10 calls to Delivery, told that the VIN assigned will not work and offered white interior without extra charge to take delivery on 9/15, which I did not accept (would've been ok with me but wife's strong preference is black). I was rescheduled for 9/29 delivery
9/24-9/26: Called Delivery at least a dozen times to remind them that my delivery was coming up in a few days and still don't have a VIN match. Also went to Tesla Burlingame to see if they could help. Met a number of very helpful people along the way
9/27: Got my VIN 74xxx
Hope it all works out on 9/29

I think Tesla is encouraging people to finance with them. Just before my delivery my account went through a reconfirmation of the delivery information and it was switched to "finance with Tesla" versus the cash that I had set and confirmed weeks earlier. I didn't really look at the option closely but if I remember correctly they guaranteed the best interest rate. You had something like 7 days to find a better rate. So presumably you can finance with the lender of your choice and pay off the Tesla loan. I hope someone who looked at it more closely can confirm.

I called yesterday because I hadn't heard anything from Highland, only my scheduling advisor from Freemont and...
I now have the car! Delivery took a bit but I sort of expected it. They told me to come in and they'd get it for me yesterday. When I arrived it was on an off site storage facility. Took about an hour for them to bring it over, double check it and hand it over.
They apologized a ton about the delays, gave my kids coloring books, went over the car on detail with me even though there was a ton of people there (all of which were being served quickly, I'll add) and were awesome.
They told me Highland Park has over 200 deliveries set for Saturday. If you have a delivery there, you may want to call and see if they can do tomorrow. They were super happy I came in early.
The car is worth the wait.

DOH! The problem turned out to be mobile access disabled on the car. I thought that was the case yesterday but I couldn't find the setting. Today while I wasn't tunnel visioned with excitement I looked again and found the setting. Now my app sees the car!
I just noticed that the paper that was supposed to have the names of the "Delivery Experience Specialist", "Customer Experience Specialist", "Local Service Center" and "Local Service Number" was completely unfilled out. It also referenced a folder with supporting documents that I will need for my California Rebate. Clearly I need to followup with someone.
Slightly more than 24 hours out from delivery and my VIN and MVPA have disappeared. No word from my DA or ISA.
Mine said 50, when I got there, it was 7. They put the 50 just to get the contract moving.
