So maybe I have been lucky, but this has all gone very quick from the moment the edit button disappeared (last Thurs evening). VIN assignment confirmed by phone on Fri. Monday (yesterday) morning received email from ISA, requesting confirmation of financing, one hour later received proposal of available delivery times for this coming weekend and finally this morning received final delivery contract laying out the final numbers and requesting electronic payment for my amount through MyTesla account. Sunday afternoon will be a new owner!! VIN (357XX)

Indeed and ditto, except that I have deferred pick up to next (mid) week, was offered Sunday initially.
What's your config?
They have registered another 6,000 vins bringing the total vin numbers registered up to around 69600. One of those has got to be yours! Keeping my fingers crossed for you.
Maybe its the Pearl with Sport that is the hold up. In my case its the Red with Sport. I would assume most people are now configuring with Aeros.
Either way I thought Tesla would go down the list of April configs and start to fill the orders. Clearly that is not the case.
Delivery bumped. Was supposed to be tomorrow at 6am, just got a call at 4:45pm confirming that I'll have a check for them. Yeah, no, I already sent you ALL of my bank information to schedule the funding request, last week. They wouldn't schedule my appointment without it. But of course my ISA has dropped off the map as soon as I provided the funding info, and the woman who called me to ask about the check keeps insisting things that aren't true, such as:
* They cannot submit a funding request to my bank (plenty of other ISAs have done this, and it's how I've bought cars in the past)
* ACH transfers are immediate
She kept insisting she can't deliver a car if there's no money, but was not helpful in telling me how to get it. Insisted on rescheduling (obviously, given no money), so I said I couldn't commit to anything earlier than next Thursday without talking to my wife first (she has next thursday off), and I was told they can't hold a car that long. Thanks?
So we rescheduled for 5:15pm tomorrow at the factory because she was sure as long as I submitted the info for payment, they'd have the money immediately.
Anyway, I'm in the process of trying to submit a DFR myself *on behalf* of Tesla, which my bank recommends against (but says should be okay as long as the 'dealer' doesn't complain that it was done without their agreement), and then.. magic happens? The woman who called insisted that the ACH payment will go through automatically; my bank says it'll be submitted same day as long as it's in before 4pm Central, but I'm pretty sure tomorrow afternoon will come and go and they won't want to release the car to me because the money didn't magically appear like it would with a wire transfer, but whatever. I just hope they figure out that they're not going to release the car to me *before* I fight the godawful east bay traffic at rush hour tomorrow.
*shrug*
EDIT: Update, the funding request wants copies of title applications and so on, none of which I have, and the emails from my ISA and also the language on my Tesla account both say they will "prepare the documents for [your] bank" and "We will coordinate payment with your bank". So I'm guessing it'll be next week some time.

Damn! Tomorrow at 6AM and you get a last minute funding request?
I'm so scared about something going wrong. My home delivery to San Leandro is on Friday, and my ISA is out of the office until next week. When I was communicating earlier this week, he said we're still on schedule for the car to be delivered as long as I provide a check from my CU during delivery on Friday. I got notice today that Tech CU will be sending them a wire instead of cutting a check, so I'm not sure what to do here. Maybe I'm over-worrying for nothing.
Finally after a long wait of 79 days since the config on 4/23, I am taking the delivery of the car on 7/17 at the Fremont Hub :

7/11/18 Email from ISA

7/17/18 : Fremont delivery scheduled

Actually, it gets worse, while she was figuring out my bank situation (magically the email came through saying their document people would be handling it for me), I got ANOTHER call from up in SF; they're backlogged on car prep and will have to push delivery by "about a week" regardless.
That's some efficiency, 2 different departments, independent of each other, delayed delivery, within 2 hours of each other
So, I no longer have an exact date. My vin is in the low 20k series so it's been sitting around for awhile. The car prep explanation was just general pre-delivery type stuff, software updates, etc.
Congratulations.
I'm assuming you did that in May?
Is there a way to tell when the car was manufactured by looking at the VIN (ie: which month)? Or do we have to ask the ISA?
Exactly the same for me. 800# also told me I have VIN but won't give it to me. Said someone will reach out to me for delivery in a few days or weeks.
What kind of estimate is that? A few days vs a few weeks is a pretty big difference.

Keep in mind, it seems to be Tesla's policy now to only release the VIN one week prior to delivery, so people are just doing their jobs.
My ISA happily emailed me the VIN within a week of delivery. Maybe you're asking the wrong question.

Why do you need the VIN now and can't wait until Tesla gives it to you a week or so before delivery?

Arranging insurance quote or coverage is one that comes to my mind. My company (Allstate) said they needed it so they could quote accurately and to issue a temporary card showing coverage.
And I guess it's a psychological thing that says the end may finally be in sight.
