Perhaps try reverse psychology with Tesla. I was weary and afraid of getting assigned a VIN yesterday because it was Friday the 13th, and lo and behold... I got it. Now I've harbored all sorts of fears :/.... once I get my car what if what if what if what if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what ifwhat if what if what if
So happy that you’ll soon be able to hold your head up high as you head into the gym. Lol

Btw, I’ve enjoyed seeing your hilarious posts on the different threads. I think it’s only appropriate that you get a custom license plate that reads: VINNULL

From someone who pulls off *sugar* all the time let me give you all a piece of advice:

Place a new order immediately. Like before Monday.

Some way somehow, your second order might get processed sooner.

It's like handing out crack...
Surrender your willpower.
H..HERE TAKE IT! I DON'T HAVE MUCH LEFT!

Tesla: Sorry that's not enough Will Power, no VIN for you... however...there IS one other way and I don't think you're gonna like it... I hope you brought some knee pads

Me: NOOOOOO........ I didn't bring knee pads .....*gets on knees while tears stream down cheeks*

As i woke from my drunken stupor, eyes red with dried lash mucus, i stumbly make my way to the bathroom to wash this beaten face. "I can't take this anymore" i said to myself as i turn both knobs of the faucet.
I pat my face dry and look at myself in the mirror "why do i do this to myself, just throw away the VIN needle... its not worth it!.." i stare at myself through the mirror for a good 2 minutes "just buy a bolt, there are so many sitting, rotting away in Chevy dealer lots just waiting to be picked up".. i make a disgusted face.. and leave the bathroom.
I make my way to my desktop, still dizzy from last night and open chrome (mindful that google is tracking every donkey porn website i've visited, but i don't care at this point.. I've his rock bottom anyways)
I look at the address bar as i type dubs.tes... and stop.. "what am i doing.. " i say to myself " why do i keep doing this to myself" and like all vinaddicts mumble "just one more time.. Elon, in you i trust..."

Better love story than Twilight, that's for sure. 10/10 would recommend to a friend

I don't know why I read that in a mocking tone in the most sarcastic way. "Ha. Ha. Ha. You guys are soooooo funny..."

I know you didn't mean it like that though, but the VIN drug is still in my system and I don't know if I'll ever recover

you absolutely should consider getting that "vinnull" customized plate, lol.

Ordered 10/28. Just stopped by the Pasadena Tesla store. They looked up my account and said everything is in order and that my estimated delivery is the week of 12/23. So that will be 9 weeks.

I also came to a conclusion that my expectations for managing the customer experience are probably generational. The women who helped me was very nice and probably in her mid-20’s. She was numb to the idea that I was concerned about having delivery before the new year. I am in my mid-50’s and have bought many vehicles. I come from 12 years of BMW’s (X5, X3, X5). And, prior to that, the other quirky car company SAAB (9-3, 9-3, 9-3 wagon). SAAB had the best customer service. I guess they knew they had to try harder.

Anyway, I have repositioned my thought process to an Apple store experience. When I put it in that context my anxiety and frustration plummets. The only difference is I am buying a $60k vehicle, not an iPhone.

Just in case you can’t tell, my snarky comments are in jest. I haven’t been this excited, since I bought BMW’s original X5 (e53). I loved that SUV and I anticipate loving my M3 AWD LR.
