So weird. I emailed my SA. I asked him if he had any extra LR AWD laying around. He said, "I have one that has all your specs but the interior is white. Can you come pick it up by Thursday?" I was about to do it, but I don't wanna pay for a car that has a different color on the interior. I'd pay for an upgrade, maybe a blue or red one, but not white interior.

White looks really nice IMHO... my dog thinks so as well and would love to get all over it. That's why I ordered black interior.. hahaha

Exactly. We have a small powderpuff that runs up and down the seats, and a baby on the way. Also gonna have coffee on the long commutes. No thanks.

Efficiency and maximizing production roll out in order to increase quarter end sales is one thing, but keeping your customers happy is another, and i wish the brainiacs at Tesla can somehow meet in the middle at least on that.

Perhaps we should 'Short' TSLA and that will get them to notice., HAHAHAHA.. we all know how Elon feels about it.

I believe they are doing this just the one time to keep the momentum going on the stock. When I ordered my car FSD was $6000 and the range was 240 miles. Now FSD is $7000 and my range has gone to 250 miles for free. Works for me.

How typical is my experience?

- Ordered on 12/2 -- a SA sent me an email with 2 Stealth versions to choose from -- both had a VIN assigned.
- Was told it was in inventory and I would be getting it before the end of the week
- While arranging financing various different people told me that my car was in pre-production and hadn't been built yet. I finally re-connected with my SA and she told me that it was "definitely on it's way from Carlsbad to Marina Del Rey." Set a delivery date for 12/14
- After my original delivery date came and went (I called Marina Del Rey to confirm the day before and they told me that the VIN was indeed in pre-production and that there was no car ready for delivery...)
- Delivery date reset for 12/20
- I called today to confirm financing and they moved my delivery date to 12/29.

well i thought i was buying an inventory car but it was also pre-production. my delivery date has come and gone (twice) - they say the car was damaged at the delivery center and needs body work. delivery is now scheduled for this wednesday but i don't have high hopes at this point.

Damn, that sucks. Good luck!

If it makes you feel any better, ordered 10/15. Haven't heard anything since.

I was checking the source code and search for 5YJ and it was showing the VIN number in 2 places. I placed the order in Woodland Hills CA on Dec 4th. Does it mean that they have assigned the VIN number and should be delivered before Dec 31st? Any idea or does everyone has this number in the source code?

Yes, this means the odds are in your favor.

It's all about shareholder equity and growth. Without innovation and market dominance, it's just another tech company. As long as they keep increasing our pony-power and send us free FSD updates... we keep Tesla in the race for space, solar, tunnels.. whatever

I have you beat. Ordered on 10/3. No VIN yet and see others in CA getting the same build who ordered after me. It sucks right now to be so close to the factory, and being last to be fulfilled.

Sucks to hear.. you’ll get it soon! And when you get your vin assigned, it’ll probably be next day pick up

It is so crazy, there are no inventory cars on Tesla.com, there is an LR AWD wait room with people stressing like mad...and an SA has one available to trade out?

Your current order is an LR?

 

[Friday2020TM3]

Just got an email from Tesla asking me what days I'm NOT available for delivery... wondering how many days I can get away with crossing out so I can get the early delivery

Ordered 10/19
Costa Mesa
Black/ white, aero, AP
VIN NULL

Yup! LR AWD and there was one in south Bay but it was black with white interior and may have been able to be picked up by Friday. If you go to Tesla's site, it actually says right on there to check their existing inventory or to go to the stores to see if they have any.

If you even look at the site, there are two performance cars available right now that looks like they were returned. One in Reno and one in Sacramento.

Yeah, they say to check inventory, but there have not been any showing in the Bay Area. There were a bunch in SoCal, and that one in Sacto. Most of the ones I have seen are SR+with full FSD, and Performance with FSD. Currently 74 showing for the full US, but most in Midewest and East

You just missed them. There were two P3D+’s in Fremont with no FSD. White and Blue with black interior + grey wheels.
