According to the delivery team, as of about 11am this morning my car was in a "staging area" in Colorado Springs. First I've heard of that. They assured me it would be in Littleton in time for my delivery, but wouldn't agree to schedule anything earlier.

This is the current delivery hotline for Littleton if you are not able to get through like I was. The guy was able to confirm my apt. (Despite no text from Littleton) and said my car was at the service center.. I guess they want to keep us on our toes until the last minute!!

I just got the call and am on the schedule for tomorrow afternoon. I may give that delivery hotline a call as I don't have any paperwork yet and get different answers concerning the co-registrant.
Did they call to confirm your appointment or did you call them and they returned your call?
They called me. Then theythey an email with that information. Then a delivery specialist from Nevada called and texted me. Working with him now before getting paperwork but I do have aVIN.
Thanks to Schmeltz318 for posting the number for Littleton. I got the text a lot of us received from Tesla Tuesday night with no info until last night when we were told we had a VIN but the car hadn't come in to the service center yet and they'd contact us when they had more info. I hadn't heard anything today when just before 5pm I read this forum and saw that Littleton had been helpful in setting up delivery. We called Littleton and they scheduled us for home delivery this Saturday. Thanks for being helpful and informative.
I spent a couple of hours at Littleton this afternoon as an owner volunteer, largely chatting up new owners and answering questions. Also assisted with orientations.
I actually thought the crew here was operating as a pretty well-oiled machine today. The place was hopping, with several deliveries in progress at any given time. I met several happy new owners, and the vibe was very positive. Congrats to those of you about to join the Tesla family.
Ironic, though, that while I was there enjoying the atmosphere and witnessing the EV community grow, the SEC was coming out with their lawsuit against Musk.

The lawsuit is a speed bump, Tesla is about to cross a line showing profitability and no one will be able to dispute that EVs are the future.
On another note I’m scheduled for 2:30 tomorrow afternoon, anyone else here scheduled for around that time? If so I’ll see you there!!
Agreed on the team working at Littleton. Very bustling, but calm and cool. I took delivery yesterday afternoon, and they were delivering in the parking spots in front of the sales showroom. When I got there I saw at least 6 cars lined up and ready to go. Every time someone would finish their orientation and drive off another car would just show up and silently back into the empty spot they left. There were a couple of people coordinating the movement of cars into those spots from the spots out by the street side of the lot, and when those cars moved in front of the building for delivery another car would slide over from the make ready area. It was like a ballet.

Picked up my car today at 6 pm - WOOT! Third time was a charm. Car has two minor paint scratches that couldn't be fixed right then, but they said they'll take care of them in a future service appt., no problem. Here are some random thoughts/notes from my experience, in no particular order:
- I paid with a personal check, and had no issues at all. We arrived around 5:45 for a 6 pm delivery, and we were out of there at 6:27 pm.
- The staff in Littleton are super nice and chilled out, really a great experience signing the papers and going.
- Car came charged about 50%, 160 miles of range. Drove down to the Springs and arrived on the north side with 107 miles remaining even after having some fun on the highway with it.
- Other than the minor paint scratches, the detailers only put two wheel covers on and forgot to remove a protective film from the camera on the passenger side B-pillar. Took us a minute to convince ourselves we could just pull the film off.
- It tried to do a firmware update before I left the service center which I deferred to tonight.
- Autopilot finished configuring about halfway down to the Springs, but I couldn't try autosteer because I guess it has to be enabled for the first time while in park? I tried it (two taps down on the right stalk) and it told me that autosteer wasn't enabled, but I was able to enable it after getting the car home. Something to play with tomorrow.
- I learned that I have a habit burned into my muscle memory of driving with my hand up at 12 o'clock on the wheel and pivoting my hand to look through the wheel at the speedometer. Which isn't there in this car. But it's actually easier for me to glance at the screen in the Model 3 because I don't have to move my hand to see it, just going to take some getting used to.
- The acceleration and responsiveness of this vehicle is absolutely UNREAL. It feels like the other cars are stationary. I floored it once from a stop, and my two kids in back said they thought we were on one of those rollercoasters with the induction motors that launch you up the track without warning. Acceleration from 60-80 mph is also just plain unreal. Hard to explain if you've not experienced it (and this is my first EV).
- It took me about half the drive to fully adjust to regen, and now I'm hooked on it and probably can't live without it. I can already tell that it will be tough to ever go back to an ICE car (like the other two that I still have).
- My turn signal seems to work fine. I think. At times I felt like the left turn signal was acting wonky - like I've read others experience - but every time I test it deliberately, it works fine. I think it may take less pressure to trigger the momentary 3-flash setting on the left side compared with the right side. I don't know, can't quite decide if it's fine or just a little wonky.
- Could not find the rear heated seats for my kids while driving. Eventually found the setting once I got home. It's kind of buried in the climate controls if you don't know where to look.
- Car is quieter than I expected, even at high speed. At low speed it's downright silent. Still getting used to various noises it makes at times, though. Seems like it's more sensitive to pavement texture from a noise perspective - maybe because there's no engine noise to cover it up.
- Would not connect to my wifi in my garage. Actually detected no wifi at all, while my phone sees my network with 4/5 bars in my garage and detects dozens of spots from neighboring houses. I think I've read this may be a firmware issue - possibly fixed in the update it's doing now?
- Homelink setup to my garage door was perfectly simple and took about 3 minutes.
- I have a very short, steep driveway, and the damn thing scrapes its belly going over my curb! I think I can avoid that by going in at an angle, but I had mixed results experiment (slowly) and decided to punt the problem until daylight.
- My tennis bag fits PERFECTLY in the frunk.
Littleton staff told me that they set a record of 75 deliveries on Monday, maybe 70 today (?) but I think they said they had something like 220 deliveries lined up for tomorrow. Insane. Oddly the place did not seem very busy this evening.

Is it normal for the mvpa to not have the Littleton address?
It says under seller on the MVPA: 8401 PARK MEADOWS CENTER DRIVE #1650 LONE TREE, CO 801
But on my account page it says under delivery appointment: Littleton-Broadway
5700 S Broadway
Littleton, CO 80121
Given all the communication errors, I just want to make sure I’m going to the right place in the Uber tomorrow

Yes. Colorado only allows Tesla to have "one" store in the state. For years, there was only the one location. To get around that limitation, the other locations are considered satellite locations of the main store. (I may have the terminology slightly wrong but that's the general idea.)Is it normal for the mvpa to not have the Littleton address?

Utterly ridiculous BS. Screw the Colorado Auto Dealers Association and the politicians they own. Protectionist scum. <End Rant>
Well, just a little more than 24 hours before my scheduled delivery, my VIN and MVPA have been removed from my account. No communication from Tesla about this.
I talked with the delivery team in Littleton yesterday and they told me that my car was in a staging area in Colorado Springs and that everything was on track for Saturday.
