No surprise, but the vehicle didn't get on the truck, so I'm not picking up tonight. Have to check back in next Monday, I guess. Oh well

Anyone else supposed to pick up today in Fremont, but yet to get the text that the vehicle is ready? Mine is supposed to be ready today, and was either finishing production or getting detailed at lunchtime, but it's getting pretty late now. Guess they'll be working till pretty late in the night.
Probably work out better for you? They can properly clean the car, and you can take your time to inspect it without a flashlight! VIN is attached to your order, so the car is yours.

I'm sure they'll be there until midnight delivering cars. Honestly, better off not tonight. You can see your new car in the daylight and they won't be rushing to prep it.

Not according to Tesla. He said it will likely be re-assigned according to the queue, for some reason. Said it was 'complicated' lol. We'll see if it stays on my account, but he said it wouldn't.

Remind them about the extra 1,000 supercharger miles for taking delivery before the end of September. If you ordered with a referral code you should get 2,000 total; 1,000 from using the code and 1,000 "bonus" for before end of September delivery. Seems like you have to ASK for the extra bonus 1,000 though!
My SA called this morning to tell me they managed to find a match to my exact config, just without the tow hitch, which I can have installed later. He said it would be delivered direct from Fremont to my house, and that they would call me to set up the delivery for today. Haven't heard from anyone yet. I do have a VIN assigned, but still no word. Texted my SA a couple hours ago who said he was looking into it, but haven't had an update since.
Been lurking this thread throughout my run up to picking up my order. I’d like to thank everyone for sharing their stories!
I picked up my car today (white, black interior, AWD) at the SoCal popup, and have to admit that I was bracing for the worst when I was driving up, after reading some of the horror stories on here.
But, it was flawless! I couldn’t find a single issue besides some smudges that I was able to wipe up on the spot! It drives beautifully, and I still can’t believe that its sitting outside in my driveway right now. I might have to go out and check
Anyway, heres a tip for those of you who are still waiting:
My original delivery appointment was for today before noon. They called me yesterday night to tell me that the car hand’t been built yet, and that I’d have to wait until mid October. I checked in with my DA this morning to confirm, and she told me that it was here, and ready to pick up in the afternoon.
So: even if they tell you its been delayed: don’t despair! They don’t seem to have the best info, and its worth calling day-of to double check. If I hadn’t who knows how long my car would have been sitting in that lot...
Cheers!

We are on the same boat, except waiting. I went factory, SA tell me my car probably cannot finish today and will deliver to you next few days.
I just got back from fremont with my MY.
Generally very good - though some minor issues:
Generally very good - though some minor issues:
- Black plastic around rear wheel well looks like it was scratched by something
- one of the rear lights is loose
- Slight panel gap issues between driver's door and rear door
- Frunk could be re-adjusted and centered
- Looks like a small pin prick damaged the paint on the rear
Thanks Man, sending you and other folks good vibes. Hoping for a speedy delivery!
