I asked my SA to switch to 3rd party finance as soon as I got the vin. and included my prequal letter to him to make sure my vin didn’t go anywhere.

Current Delivery Times

Before I accepted delivery - My SA called me to tell me I was assigned a VIN. I told her that I was going to put 15k down and she updated my account to show how much I was financing through the 3rd party (the balance). My MVPA was immediately available to download with that updated info. I downloaded it and digitally signed it for my wife and I. Since it is Texas, I made my down payment right away and updated the insurance to show my VIN so everything was done.
The following day I received a text asking that I send the signed MVPA and the Dealer funding request (from USAA) to the South order support email that I was provided. I did that and they texted me back about an hour later saying "You have successfully completed all tasks to take delivery. Your selected Showroom team will be reaching out to you to schedule delivery.."
Still waiting on appointment as the car is in Transit, but that's what I did up to this point. Hope that helps.
Congrats! Five weeks from order to VIN. I think that’s a record for an LR! And it’s not a reassigned VIN either. 256xxx is one fresh baked cookie.
Have you not watched the mandatory 783 hours of Youtube videos required prior to ordering?

Happy for you! You lucked out big time! Let us know when delivery gets scheduled. Just goes to show we really really have know idea what Tesla’s VIN assignment process is. I’m pretty sure I know of a couple folks on here with the same exact order places a whole two months earlier.
It is refreshing to see someone who orders a Model Y because they just want a decent car, rather than a complete Tesla nerd like the rest of us! HahaHave you not watched the mandatory 783 hours of Youtube videos required prior to ordering?

Agreed on the luck and randomness; I think that’s why we all check every day. Hoping for more VINs for all as the quarter is closing out!!
This article makes it sound as though Tesla will, once again, offer the Model Y SR. Going from 244(SR) to 326(LR) miles is about another hour of highway driving. If the "new" SR gets 280 miles at a lower price point that might be a sweet spot for many consumers. Based on my experience with an SR and driving aggressively in south Florida (is there any other way in SoFlo?) with the AC on, etc., I can say the SR got about 180 miles total (100%-0% SOC). I can also say that for a vast majority of drivers 244/180 miles is more than enough for the daily/weekly drive. However, a vast majority of drivers will also buy based on range anxiety even though it will rarely come into play due to the Supercharger network.
My commute was 60 miles round trip, but I did not have to do it every day. There was one week where I did have to do it everyday and since I was only using 120V to charge I did have to go to the Supercharger after day 3 or 4. If I remember correctly that was just for my own peace of mind. Had someone not bought it at a price I couldn't pass up I would have installed a 240V charger and each day would have started with a "full" charge at 80%. If you have access to a Level 2 charger range is not an issue. Period. Stop. And with the Supercharger network long distance travel is also not an issue in most areas.
It looks like Tesla has once again proven they are the EV team to beat. Especially if the price is in the low to mid $40K.

Dual motor is just for added speed, winter travel, and added range for long distance trips. While towing the longer range comes into play but for most is not of consideration.
Same happened to me, I think it’s because we are going to Tesla based financing. We only need MVPA if we are financing though 3rd party I believe.
However, I checked under the other Documents and looks like MVPA was available under the Delivery Configuration. Not sure if that is the correct MVPA, but title does says MVPA with VIN number on it.
Check and see if you notice the same.
The factory installed mud flaps / PPF only seem to go to northern states and provinces.

Hey everyone! New here and it’s been cathartic reading about everyone’s experiences regarding their purchase, wait times and ultimate success finally getting their MY. I ordered mine on 6/19, MYLR 5 seater, white with white interior. I’m in the midwest and haven’t heard anything about longer wait times than either east or west coast but I don’t see a lot of Tesla’s where I’m at. I’ve gotten most of the accessories I need already and will be installing a 240vac outlet in the garage soon as well. Love our Acura MDX, however I’m looking forward to getting rid of that gas hog. It’s a real pig, so I was shocked at its resale value. I’ll keep waiting, like everyone else, but like most on here, the sooner the better…
i had MVPA right away as I had cash. When I called and asked Delivery guy to change to third party finance, he switched and asked me to logout and log back in. Once I did that, I saw the updated price and new MVPA showing my third party bank name. hope that helps.

Wow, if I knew they looked that good minus the hupcaps I might have stick with those instead of the 20" wheels!
you should call right after your VIN and change it to financing. The longer you wait the risky it is to miss delivery if your financing gets delayed.

Yes I am very pleased to discover this. I’ve been really sad lately about not getting the darker 20”. But now that I have this info I think I’ll just get them powder coated in black and enjoy my smoother ride
