Same situation about 12 days ago there. Odd because of all places, they seem to have plenty of spots to store cars.

SA at the St Louis Tesla just said over text when asked directly if their was an inventory release hold due to firmware update: "That is what we are hearing as well. We have a lot of cars sitting on our lot waiting for the fix and then instantly will be matched to customers, should be soon". So confirmed the firmware portion but also said the cars on the lot were not yet VIN-matched, which seems strange.
Most states have laws like this because they don't want people getting out of the taxes... particularly in higher tax states. I saw someone else post that maybe you could try and keep it registered in NJ despite having moved but that's a different can of worms for you to navigate...
Per the IL Secretary of State:
If you originally purchased your vehicle from a dealer, lending institution, leasing company, or other retailer, you must use Form RUT-25 when you bring the vehicle into Illinois. You should attach a copy of the bill of sale or other proof of the purchase price. If you had the vehicle titled in another state for more than three months, no Illinois tax is due, but you still must file Form RUT-25 to reflect that fact.

I wonder if all the delays are due to the chip (or whatever part) that's missing of it it's really about a firmware update. I'd prefer to believe the latter is true. I work for Audi and while April has been a difficult month inventory-wise, we have about 300 cars coming to just our dealer between now and mid-July.
The only happened to me once where my phone showed 7-9 weeks while my desktop showed an actual date range.
I assumed that they have a bunch of fallback logic in place where if it takes too long for their order system to return the date range, then it probably shows certain pieces of data like a snapshot of the the original weeks estimate when you placed your order. It cemented it for me when our order pages changed to the blue model 3.

I thought the same before owning my M3P and now I rather have it the way it is, less clutter simplistic its amazing.
Maybe they'll adjust your membership level if necessary after your checking account is open for 90 days? That's a good point, though. They did ask for our annual pay for the loan application, and they may also get a rough idea of income from the credit check, but I'm not certain. Maybe they're more stringent with the deposit requirement if you open a loan (since they ask for income info then anyway).
Congrats! I'm worried about the same hahBest of luck with the new arrivalS!

Emailed my local store (not my SA) to see why my estimated dates disappeared today and they said:
“As you are under 2 weeks for the delivery, the estimate is no longer needed. Please wait to hear from your delivery team to schedule an appointment real soon!”
I’m not holding my breath but I thought that was interesting.

I have a July due date with a potential induction in June because baby is measuring ahead. Let’s see who arrives first.Best of luck with the new arrivalS!

Might be a firmware update required for a replacement chip for the most recent batches of Model Ys, due to chip shortages in various industries.
I've got an early June birthday, so I'm all about the early summer bday parties! Hopefully I'll get to use the frunk as a beer cooler for my birthday party hahathat's a great birthday to have.....
From what I gather, Tesla normally doesn't assign a VIN until the car is off the line. Which makes me wonder if legally they can't match a car + customer until the car is fully ready to be sold. If my assumption is true that could be why they can't assign these VINs until whatever the issue is gets fixed.
With that said, there's actually some hope in it. Normally you'd have to wait for shipping after getting a VIN. But with this, people may go from end of June ETAs to ready immediately. One can hope anyway

Just got this answer from my SA… Hope keeps getting smaller and smaller…

I found this article which had a little nugget that's different than what everyone else is reporting:
"Tesla decided to develop new technology so that the chip that everyone else needed was no longer necessary. By being able to update software over the air, drivers were not impacted as heavily. This likely saved the company a lot of money in the long run."
So it's not that it's a new chip they had to source but it sounds like they were able to take the functionality that was in that chip (whatever it is) and put it somewhere else. So this could be the firwmware everyone's talking about. Not firmware for a new chip but firmware for an existing chip/component.
Wish someone would just get VIN. The suspense is killing me.
Agree, this would explain why there are so many cars reported on lots but none of us have VINs yet.
