Yah you have a point, after waiting 2 years for a invite, 6 weeks VIN shouldn't be a issue, its more of a " so close I can taste it " type of thing. I should stop reading up on the car and wait for delivery of the car to enjoy it.

how about getting a VIN and delivery date pulled at the last minute with no explanation, and no updates. I was patient up until now... I will calm down again once I get a VIN, again.

It might be easier if you have a car to drive in the interim and don’t have a loan officer breathing down your neck to wrap up the transaction.

Just got my VIN today 4/6, delivery scheduled in one week 4/12.
Configured as soon as I was able, Feb 22.
VIN is 104xx, Red/Aero/EAP
Orange County
Should I be concerned about VIN being low-ish and that the car was produced about a month ago?

Excellent point - good to retain perspective. For me, I've got a week or two until my charger install is done (home was built in 1939, so a bit more than plug and play involved), so there's no real urgency here. Nonetheless, it would be nice to be able to push that peddle down soon. **sigh**
I called Tesla for the 2nd time this morning and got a call back from my ISA within the hour (first time talking to ISA). Later in the afternoon, my ISA informed me that the car had just arrived at the delivery center. I'm scheduled to pick it up this coming Monday. It seems like Tesla doesn't provide much notice before delivery, so make sure to get everything in order once you're assigned a VIN.

I saw your car sitting at the 5600 kearny mesa location. It came on the same truck as mine, I was supposed to pick up monday too.
They called me today. Original delivery schedule was for Thursday due to trade-in. They moved it up to Tuesday when I said no trade-in. I got my MVPA within one hour. So yes there are not providing much notice for those of us on the West Coast.
I've been following your thread and nervously checking my account to make sure Tesla didn't "lose" my VIN. Hopefully, it's just a system glitch and you'll be able to pick up on Monday, too. And if it turns out to be a known build issue, then I suppose it's better to be assigned another car than to take delivery and then have to drop it off for repairs soon afterward.
I also had an optional trade-in, but my ISA stated it wouldn't cause any delay. I was impressed with how quickly they handled the appraisal. I took some pictures and got a value so quickly (~10 minutes) that it seemed like an automated system had generated the value. I then e-mailed my ISA a higher CarMax offer, called him to set up a delivery time, and got everything confirmed two hours later.
