I called mine today and was told my vehicle was shipped from Fremont Saturday 5/22 and headed to Chicago right now. I don’t have a VIN yet. They did mention I was “soft matched”. WTF does that mean? If they know the car was built, and shipped, you can’t tell me the VIN????

I am in Pittsburgh but with a much later order date and little hope that I would get a VIN at this point. But I have been scanning for updates from the Pittsburgh folks and am seeing nothing. I am closeby to the service center and might visit after work to see if I can learn something.

It doesn't show up here. Last time I read there was a specific link you had to visit in order to see the chat icon... weird

I saw the tiny model cars in the plastic cases on the center consoles of a bunch of MY's at the Pittsburgh SC on Monday. Sadly, the tiny cars looked like M3's

I chatted with Tesla about my order and this was the response:
"You've done everything you needed to do. At this time, a VIN has not been assigned to your order yet. VIN assignment is determined by the current trim in production, and the account completion date. Once a VIN is assigned, you will receive a text message with a link for self-scheduling your delivery appointment. A delivery timeline of 6 - 9 weeks from order placed date is posted in your Tesla account. Thank you for your patience with us as we get every order matched to a VIN as soon as we possibly can."
Not very helpful in terms of a more concrete update. I ordered 4/30 so wasn't expecting much at this point.

Got an email response from ordersupport now (SA is a ghost).
"Our systems indicate that you will be taking delivery very soon –
I would try to keep your plans open during the second week of June."
That seems like a realistic timeline.

I checked the page source of my order and found BUILD_TAG_rc_202105251
So, I wonder if my car was built yesterday???

It's my understanding (from what my SA said so take it with a bucket of salt), that soft-matched essentially means the car is a match for your location and config but hasn't been officially assigned to you yet (so that's why they don't give the VIN to you). He said that it officially becomes assigned when it gets to the Service Center and is matched with you.
Again, this came from my SA, so YMMV
For those that went with DCU, how long is the approval for? and has anyone gotten them to send you a blank check without knowing VIN?
"A DCU Auto Loan Check is a check made out to you that's good for up to your approved loan amount. You can use it to purchase a car at any licensed dealer. Since you already have financing arranged before you shop, you can focus on negotiating the lowest price you can for the car you want like you are paying with cash in hand."
