Update--on about the 30th try got through on the delivery extension (not the manager). They don't have a VIN for me yet, but he said they are getting many truck deliveries throughout each day, mine might be one of them. When the cars are unloaded they get the VIN info and enter into their system and match to buyers, and it should populate on my page at that time. He said I should expect a call (probably from the above referenced Christina) to let me know one way or another. He also mentioned they are delivering something like 200 per day, there's no parking anywhere close by, and everyone there is crazy busy. BUT, he was cordial and courteous, didn't rush me at all (he also mentioned he was on loan from Solar City for the EOQ rush).

When my VIN disappeared my car had been taken by another DES. My guy then stole it back. Contact them directly if you can, or avoid the craziness of this weekend and just get your car in a week or so. Personally, I was ok either way until I had a loan against the VIN, then I became possessive
I have no way to contact my DA. I'm planning to go to the delivery center this afternoon to look for the car.

My delivery appointment has been confirmed for 3pm tomorrow, but I have yet to hear from my DA and no VIN. Is that normal?
My delivery was supposed to be an hour ago, and just now my VIN and delivery time have both been removed from my account.

Agreed. It is the bi-polar nature of "you have a car" and "you don't have a car" that is unbearably unprofessional.

That's a huge problem. Call the "dealership" you are scheduled to pickup the car. I would predict 99% chance you will be cancelled.
Yeah I wouldn’t believe any of the scheduled deliveries from the text. I called the local store and they said there would be no way to get a car tomorrow because I didn’t even have a vin. He just said it would be soon but not this weekend. I don’t really care. Gives me more time to get my crap together.
I picked my mine up today in Highland Park, IL
Quick process! Love it

Interesting, they must be thinking they were doing ethical and right thing to let you know to not to start 6 hour drive to delivery center for pick up in 90 minutes.Mt. Kisco just called me at 1:27pm for a 3:30pm pickup to cancel me. Good think they got me in time, I have a 6 hour drive there

After dialing every 15 minutes since
Update: After calling Highland Park every 15 minutes starting at 8 am, my husband finally got through to someone who was able to confirm that our car is in Chicago and everything looks good for our 2 pm delivery appointment tomorrow! Highland Park is doing 102 deliveries today and 171 tomorrow! Yowza!
I had a 10am appointment there a few of the deliveries that I heard were for S and X cars, but it looked like more and more Model 3 owners were coming in. There are A LOT of Tesla fanboys/girls there to help out and answer questions about the car, etc. Signed a few pieces of paper and I was out. Maybe 20 minutes and I was driving.

While that may well be true, and right below pure cash, which absolutely is the best as Tesla takes no risk of being stiffed, in states where Tesla cannot do business, they cannot loan to customers in that state. They, as I was told in July, suggest Alliant Credit Union. They require a final MVPA which will have the VIN on it as one is purchasing that specific car, not some yet to be named future car.
VIN and delivery date removed from my account with delivery this weekend. I got some heart palpitations but when I called everything was A-OK on the back end and he updated my account while on the phone to reflect the information. I hate to think my VIN was floating free the day before delivery with a loan against it and everything.

Received VIN And scheduled for Delivery in Westmont tomorrow afternoon. Still not counting my chickens but stoked nonetheless.Fingers

I suspect the reality is it depends on the state. On my "what to bring" section, it said proof of insurance, not show your policy. I'm in CT so even though delivery will be in NY, my insurance and insurance requirements are for CT. They haven't been really clear on what they want, will accept, etc. Under their FAQ they say no personal checks yet people have said they've paid with personal checks. Go figure!
Insurance
Please bring proof of insurance for your current
vehicle to your delivery appointment.
I am a recovering Tesla Account watcher. I used to watch my account incessantly. I try not to do that. However, after getting text a car was on it's way for tomorrow evening, I went into my account to see if a vin was there or MVPA was there. What I found was my trade-in information was gone and "amount owed" had what was trade-in allowance added to it.
Has anyone else noticed things in your account, especially financial stuff, changed out from under you? Particularly, with no external warning the change was made?

UPDATE- after many (and I mean many) calls to Tesla about my VIN that disappeared and subsequent canceled delivery I was able to confirm this- unless you have a VIN your delivery date is meaningless. Tesla started scheduling delivery dates with the hopes they match you to a VIN by the delivery date. As we’ve seen, many times they are unable to make a “match” and the delivery is canceled/rescheduled. Call the service center several days before your delivery and ensure your car is scheduled to arrive. If you assume your delivery is going to take place based on your “appointment” you will likely be disappointed.
