Uh... so this just happened. I don’t have my car yet nor has it ever showed up in the app but I just pinged my rep to make sure that the VIN is in fact still associated with my account.

Your chances of getting your tesla delivered is inversely proportional to how many times you contact them.
Ya we don’t have a Tesla in our state so that was not an option. It was delivered to my home with no instruction about what to do next.
No, this is not my first car. Thank you for asking. I’ve always leased. Also, our delivery specialist has not responded to one email since our car showed up, unannounced earlier this week to which she replied “oh wow, um I didn’t realize it would be that quick” aka no clue. We do not have a Tesla store in RI and the people who did our car loan, pretty sure this was their first loan with Tesla. So honestly, no one shared with us what to do next.
Great. thank you very much for the details and it sounds like ACH might be a better option for folks like me doing cash. appreciate it. My DA didn't mention ACH and she talked about transfer 48 hours before delivery or wire transfer or cashier's check. Now I know the deal.
So RI has no Tesla store. By law, we can’t purchase one from neighboring MA. So we need the paperwork that states it’s never been titled anywhere else. Also we financed through AAA and filled out DMV registration paperwork with them but no one seems to know what to do next. And more importantly, we are getting radio silence from our DS who up until this point, was amazing. So as of 12pm today, we will have had our Tesla for 72 hours and still haven’t been able to drive it. Pure torture.

Still reservation holders and June orders waiting for AWD cars in the east and end of Q4 is going to be crazy, but ramp has improved for AWD. I'd act ASAP if you're interested and realize that you might not get the full tax credit.
That is similar to my experience yesterday. West Coast AND Canada. Apparently, for any 'run' or number of days...n cars, are per-ordained to go to a specific section of the map. This may explain people who haven't gotten their car and others who ordered after got theirs, geography. Being on the east coast she specifically said there are no cars being produced now that will ship to east coast.
Anyone who does not follow Teslanomics (Ben Sullins) should. Every Monday he does a YouTube vid. Last weeks mentioned Tesla is making their own car carriers as their complaint is there are not enough to handle their volume. If you let that sit for a bit the distribution 'problems' come into much clearer relief. Well, that and the size of SCs and their ability to handle much more than 18 cars per day deliveries given 30mins per. 18 would be 9 hours. They are already asking for 'expert's help in doing the introduction to the car rather than employees they don't have tied up with answering the myriad of questions, configuring charge cables for phones etc.
Al, that comment wasn't intended to be snark. That you have always leased actually answers my question in the affirmative. So, are you familiar with where the super chargers are off division street in East Greenwich? There will be a SC there, likely mid 2019. If I am not mistaken, your car is being delivered to you? In talking with the folks in Dedham I seem to recall them, Dave or Jeremy, telling me RI customers get their cars delivered to them rather than picked up in Dedham. I have to go to Mt Kisco's Winchester facility in White Plains area of NY. From Google Maps looks like multi-level parking facility. Easiest way is 95 to NY then head NW. sucks as it is 2 1/2 hr in commute windows. My first car sent from Fremont was sent to Dedham and rather than truck it to Mt Kisco they sold it to someone in MA.

I hope the person who has my car is enjoying it

This right here is by far the biggest FIA factor for me. I’m seriously worried about it and should probably stay off the forums.

Update:
Called SC when it opened and the DA there was able to confirm the VIN is still listed on my account on the backend.
Phew.
All evidence is actually to the contrary; your chances of getting your car delivered is *directly* proportional to how many times you contact them, at least up to the "once a day" level.
At this point I think it's because you have a chance of getting a competent person who can do something, or a person who can't do anything. The more times you call, the more different people you get, so the higher odds of actually reaching someone who can do something.
Yuck.
Once you get someone who actually fixes problems for you, be nice to them, because they're rare...
I agree with Dan above but, hate to rain on anyone's parade, it's not one's car until you sign for it. At least that seems to be how Tesla handles it. Same thing, btw, happened to me. They sent my car to the closest, but incorrect SC and rather than truck it to the right location or had the right location do the paperwork, they just sold it outright.

This x1000. Absolutely how I was able to make progress too.
Just to finish my stmt on that...
A leasing company holds title as they are the actual owners. I have always bought new except for one lease of an Accura. Even when you finance a 'bought' car, title goes to the bank, finance company ala ToyotaFinanceCo, until you've paid for it then they ship you the title with no lien holders. I've never traded in a leased vehicle but thinking it through you could likely get their title which would show them as lien holder and Tesla, in order to sell the car would have to get clear title themselves, a non-immediate process, or pass it to the auction company but then they would have to clear the title by paying off the lien. I could see for those, regardless of when they reserved, were trading in a car they were still paying on, they'd be placed in the back of the line as Tesla clearly doesn't want more paperwork or to clear titles, not their business plan. Most of that Al was general discussion but, where you lease, it stands to reason you'd never have dealt with titles.
