I took deliver the same day as you and didn't get my paperwork until last week. Once I did, it was all fine with the DMV and my registration is complete. Hang in for a day or two, I suspect it's "in the mail."

I took delivery 9/28 too but still no paperwork. I think I was scheduled for 3 pm delivery but there were some issues with the paperwork so it might've been 6 pm or later by the time I left.
Fortunately I got a new temp tag when I stopped by over the weekend so we're good for now.
Seems you're overdue. I got mine after 5 weeks 9/22 delivery (and saw others get in about the same timeframe). Then waited another 3 weeks after registration for custom plates to show up in the mail. Group Special License Plates | Department of Revenue - Motor Vehicle
Simple online donation, can be one-time, print out certificate and take to DMV. Few min delay, but then few weeks waiting for the mail, of course. I like them though. Makes a clear statement that you would have a hard time expressing with a single custom word - plus annual fees for that.

I saw FEDEX park in front of the house today. I prepared myself for the document package but watched as he dropped the envelope off next door. I guess it wasn't my time yet.
I'm starting to wonder if they prioritize financed cars. Mine was a cash transaction so they got the money already. Maybe they process financed first so they can start collecting those funds?

Mine was all cash too. I've seen few other references to 5 weeks. Although... not sure maybe there was some process change as far as paperwork you sign at the delivery? We were just a week apart though.I saw FEDEX park in front of the house today. I prepared myself for the document package but watched as he dropped the envelope of next door.

All cash here too, picked up car on 9/28 in Littleton and got my paperwork on 11/19.
My paperwork from Tesla arrived on the day of my temp tag expiry. They sent it certified mail, signature required. If my Girlfriend did not work from home I would have missed it and needed an updated tag.
I picked up the car on 9/28.

Happy (for now) to report I received a new temp tag today via Fedex that takes me into Jan. The old one expired 11/30.
We saw last Wednesday that all the new AWD cars had their badges installed. The Performance models still don't have badges. We neglected to ask when we would get the badge for our AWD Model 3 that was delivered in September.
You should be able to mention the badge in your online service appointment request. When/if they call to discuss, I would think they would be able to mention badge availability.

Hey guys - I'm taking delivery at the Littleton SC in a few days... (Probably before the weekend..) -- I don't think I ever remember having to 'wait for paperwork' to register a car; is this unique to Tesla?
And have we verified that, like if I take delivery today, and it takes 5 weeks or so to get the paperwork, (into January) the $5000 state credit is still definitely able to be filed with 2018 returns?
Also, I guess last question trying to go from experiences you guys have had: The Littleton SC - Do they let you do a quick walk around of the car before you sign on the line? I've heard of some SCs not allowing this, and you have to sign and pay before even seeing the car. (Mine isn't CPO, it's a new inventory car...)
How have the delivery experiences been there lately?

You can still file for the 2018 state tax credit, assuming you've already registered the car. That allows you to take delivery in December 2018, register in February (or March...) 2019 and claim it when filing your 2018 taxes.

Meh. I got mine with weeks to spare.
Shoot, I thought I was special. Good to hear they've gotten it right more than once!

It is doing great. Travel along the Peak to Peak highway, over to Estes or Black Hawk, down Left Hand Canyon, etc. is a blast when the roads are clear. I'm used to the range impact of mountain roads and winter and it is good enough I generally don't think about it. I am getting pretty poor efficiency, but it is hard to resist the go pedal so that's on me.
Biggest concern so far is that the car stays outside. Bears tend to like my driveway and I have had curious one's scratch cars in the past. I have a HPWC and use Teslafi's scheduler to have it charge to around 80% when I get home at night and then about an hour before I leave each day it is set to bump the charge limit to 90% and turn on the climate control, so I leave with a warm car and warm battery. That is not as reliable as I would like as there is no cell signal at my home and the car sometimes does not wake on WiFi and receive the commands. So far no notable issues with ice or snow in terms of entry or with driving now that I have my snows on. It can be tough to be patient waiting for ICE cars to muster up the strength to go up the big hills though

Ha, that is tough everywhere!
Thanks for the report and good to hear you haven't had issues. I skate ski at Eldora quite a bit but haven't been up yet, probably will go tomorrow and will take the 3. I need to get snow tires though. Was waiting on Costco to get some stock but that might have to look elsewhere as it doesn't seem to be happening.
