California VINs: are you still waiting?
- Thread starter nonstickrobot
- Start date
As I reported in the other thread...
A Pasadena line waiter (12th in line) got a VIN on 3-16, and was offered delivery on 3-23. Deferred to 3-24. If nothing else, this shows that a 7 day "VIN to delivery" in SoCal is possible. So VIN assignments as late as 3-24 might get delivered by the end of March. Knowing Tesla, there should be some delivery specialists and truck drivers working some 80 hour weeks right about now. And that new battery assembly machine from Germany better be dialed up to 11 or higher...

You won't be. I configured on 2/22, VIN on 3/19, delivery date set for 3/29. Very excited and a little apprehensive to finally to get a hold of my car I have waited 365 + 363 days for. Stood in line on 3/31/2016, was 37th in line at 5:30 am in Burbank.

We drove by late this morning too.....must have been about the same time as you because that same car was sitting in the delivery area. I wasn't overly impressed with the amount of outside parking space....but the building is HUGE. Tesla isn't messing around. I did find it odd that they had a big temporary power generator feeding the building....not sure if it was the sole source of power or perhaps just supplemental. Also of note was, like the SD Service Center, there seems a total lack of secure outside parking.....call me paranoid.

I got the VIN on the 16th, paid up on the 19th, now all that remains is for the payment to clear and for me to get the keys. Still no word as to the delivery date and no calls from anyone. Configured same day as @montreid, same config (blue 18"), he got his VIN on the 19th, but my VIN is higher (90xx vs. his 72xx.)
Unless Tesla already scheduled the delivery for me before the 28th but neglected to tell me, I'd guess that he got lucky - a previous-batch model that was already in San Diego (possibly in service for some reason) became available between the 16th and the 19th and he was first in line for a VIN. Whereas we all still need to wait for our cars to get here from Fremont. I'll keep my fingers crossed, but a delivery before 4/1 does not look likely.
Spent some time staring at the spreadsheet (again...) and shamelessly extrapolating from a small number of data points
It seems to add up to this:
* San Diego got a shipment or a series of shipments of pearl/19" (I'm guesstimating 60-80 cars) starting some time in the last few days (first delivery 3/19)
* Which is followed by a comparable shipment of midnight silver/19", first scheduled delivery 3/23
* Which will be followed by blue/19" (20 cars), red/19" (10 cars), and blue/18" (40 cars) by 3/28
* All these are already built and must be stuck somewhere (because we're getting blue 18"s in the low 90xx, and someone already took delivery of a blue 18" 89xx up in NorCal on 3/17); the bottleneck is either shipping or delivery
* That's ~200 cars total, and those are the only cars that Tesla will deliver in San Diego before the end of Q1.
* 200 is only the tip of the iceberg: they haven't even started on pearl/18" and midnight silver/18", which are the most popular configs out there (pearl/18" is next up), and they still have many people waiting for VINs for blue/18".
Somewhere in this schedule there must be silver, black, and red/18", but I don't have enough data to place them.

After all my whining on the forum the last few days, the VIN gods finally put me out of my misery!

Looks like there are plenty of San Diego folk on that spreadsheet who also configured on 2/22 with silver/blue/red who don't have a VIN yet. I wouldn't be surprised to see more cars make it down to SD before the end of the month.
I really hope you’re right (and that MSM is included. Are they doing group orientation / deliveries? If so, it’s not out of the realm of possibility.
