Update: received the text confirmation for my delivery appointment and submitted final payment. Picking up Sunday afternoon. Shocking how fast it took (15 days from order). I’m scrambling to get my charging set up!

Because Tesla wants to deliver the most number of cars possible so they focus on the West coast 1st since it takes a while for the cars to get there and leave the last two weeks to focus on California since the factory is there and it’s close.

Is everyone updating the spreadsheet? I see many more posts about VINs being delivered here than on the doc.
Took delivery today. Model Y LR with all standard features. Rt 17 / Paramus NJ. Had placed order on 3/24
I'm guessing that they're building batches of cars/configurations based on overall demand, and then the system matches finished production with what has been ordered in the queue. It doesn't seem like they're building to exact demand as it's ordered.
Lol same. It could be the SAs in AZ being snobby. The only text I received ever since I ordered in mid April was telling me that while I'm waiting for the VIN to get generated, I should look into buying more stuff from Tesla.

They get some deliveries, they just don’t necessarily have the flood of deliveries that the east coast and hopefully soon the Midwest will have.
I imagine in two weeks the whole US will be lit up with deliveries.
That still surprises me that they try to anticipate popular configurations...seems like a legacy way of doing things. With their reservation system, they should know better than any other auto manufacturer exactly what mix of configurations to build and continually adjust. What if they end up with an abundance of unsold configurations that don't get matched by EOQ? I suppose they could just build less of that particular config at the beginning of next quarter.
Got my VIN and MVPA late last night, completed the insurance and financing. Didn't get any text to schedule delivery so I went to tesla.com/scheduled/rnxxxxxx and was allowed to schedule my delivery.
My SA sucks, no email communication, no responses, didn't email any document to me or text or anything useful. How are these people keeping their job? If I did a crap job like this fool, I would've been fired. I always had to call my local Service Centers and talk to an Advisor there. Ugh, whatever it's almost over.

Hi Snoopy. Meet the Red Baron. Maybe we can get together some time to quaff root beers!
With a limited amount of options that makes sense (ext color, int color, tow, seats, wheels). There's only so many combinations when there are 5 categories of choices. If someone does not get matched by EOQ what happens is the ring people up and offer them something different, for example for someone who ordered a white Y Tesla would go "hey do u want a grey one with no extra charge" (happened to me during an EOQ delivery before). I guess/heard that because of demand they are now leaning towards trying to match people up with unmatched cars but also getting them to pay for the additional options (usually color).
What if I simply changed an outlet and did it poorly? Is that negligence or just incompetence? Code might say I need an electrician for that change, but I might claim I had no idea of that requirement and I've changed hundreds of outlets in my lifetime. What about plumbing? I do it poorly and it leaks and floods my house. Are they going to deny that too? Incompetence might get you denied future underwriting, but I don't see anything in my homeowner's policy about not covering poorly done DIY work nor non-permitted work. Maybe bad practice, in general, and maybe everyone's insurance rates are slightly higher because of people like me, but still pretty satisfying plugging in a charger into a 14-50 you've installed with your own hands.lol, sure but insurance companies can decide to refuse your claim if this has caused a fire or other damage. Without a permit and licensed contractor, the insurer considers that the homeowner is being negligent, and insurers never pay out claims resulting from negligence. Your coverage could even get cancelled.
Oh and If you fail to do it properly, and you have to file a home insurance claim due to a mistake, it could be extremely costly. Not only will you have to pay out-of-pocket for the loss, but filing a claim can cause your insurance premium to increase significantly.
So go ahead DIY, but be aware of potential consequences
Waiting for VIN here in Maryland, like many others...
Beautiful! I LOVE THE RED. My wife and I opted for white, but Im thinking when its time and I get a model 3 down the road Im going to pay extra for the red. I think the 19s also look real solid on the red

Much of this will depend on their in house MRP/ERP implementation. Is it tilted to older MRP theories of batch and build or is it titled more towards demand flow type theory. I worked for a major industrial with both Aerospace and Automotive divisions. Our Auto sister division had more continuous supply chains with lower lead times so MRP/ERP was tuned for a more demand flow approach. Whilst in Aerospace with longer lead times and more stringent supply chains (esp in mil customers) we balanced flow with batching esp for economy of scale of purchasing across similar sub assemblies / systems.
