I'm one day behind you on the OD, also in DMV. Waiting for my VIN...
Does anyone else from Seattle/PNW feel like our VIN assignments are behind schedule compared to other markets? I'm watching everyone's announcements based on their order date and configuration, and it seems like Seattle is behind schedule. I'd love to be wrong about this!
Ha!! I couldn't agree with you more here! It's super annoying!
I wish there was a sticky thread here with "trusted" info/accessories, but the link change all the time so maybe not plausible.
I ordered the same on the 15th, so far still Feb 11th to March 11th. Crossing my fingers. lol

Ordered a mobile connector on 1/17, we placed the initial order for MYLR on 1/16. We're picking up the MYP today. The mobile connector still hasn't shipped, but they did ship a Gen 2 NEMA Adapter 6-50 today, still no word on the actual mobile connector. When I talked to the SC yesterday they mentioned the mobile connectors are back ordered. Good thing Tesla shipped out the Wall Connector right away, and we had it installed same week.

Call to 510 will take hours of waiting time so better text and wait for reply (even this takes hours)
Changed to Blue with Induction wheels after the recent tax credit MSRP limit change.
Received VIN on 2/3
EDD updated to 2/6 - 2/10
Given pickup options for 2/8 or 2/9
Picked scheduled for 2/8
Not bad, 23 days from order to delivery and got lucky with the lowest Y LR price in quite a while!
Yes Good question, Folks out there with previous Tesla owner experience- Who has the best prices on Insurance for Tesla's? Is Teslas own Insurance offering competitive? Wondering if Farm Bureau will be More?
I see what people mean about needing an actual VIN number. I can not get an accurate quote from my insurer until it has been issued.

After much consternation and reading and more consternating, I decided to do a full frontal wrap package with AutoCorrect detailing in Augusta, NJ. I had never heard of them (or PPF before buying a Tesla!), but they have outstanding reviews and as luck would have it, pretty close by, which is huge. I requested a quote from the website, and I can attest to the accuracy of the reviews as far as the owner being extremely responsive via text and answering questions over the phone, etc, which made me feel good about it. I'm hopeful the work will be of high quality, in keeping with what has so far been a high level of service. I dropped the car last night and should be ready Wednesday. I can report back if folks are interested.
It's a lot of money, right around 2k after tax. I won't go into the 12 year warranty, the material, blah blah blah - just go to the website. As far as the cost, I've never spent money on something like this, but as someone else pointed out, I've never spent this much on a car before either, and add to that the paint concerns of Tesla, and I decided to do it, and better to do it now, before I get any chips, etc. (And yeah, feels so wrong giving my new car to strangers I've literally never met for a few days after just taking delivery!)
Still, just knowing I have that extra protection will help me not be so stressed every time I drive the car. Heck, there is a lot of value in that peace of mind alone, at least for me anyway. It would be super annoying to worry about it every time I drove the car on the highway, to the point I'd be thinking about avoiding driving it altogether, which defeats the purpose. I also look forward to it being easier to clean, supposed self-healing properties, etc, so I don't think I'll regret it. I'm looking at my 2015 BMW X1 with a nice giant rock chip all the way down to the bare metal on the hood and the bumper is just beat to hell after only 40k miles. But I got that car used after 30k miles and wasn't that concerned, and never did anything to "keep it up". I'll definitely be looking to stay on top of this car from the start to keep it in great shape.
Overall, I don't think there is a right or wrong decision on this - to each their own. I am inclined, though, to dismiss some "arguments" that it is simply an outright "waste of money". There is just so much to consider. I'm by no means OCD about how my car looks, and not interested in detailing it every month or whatever, but all things considered, seems like a reasonable way to protect a new car that I hope to have for many years to come. Time will tell.
Cheers,
PS. Got my Tesla Wall Connector installed myself this weekend, without getting electrocuted, woohoo!
I am that OCD person when it comes to detailing my cars.

Yes it is real pain. I prefer going to store and talk to them for things I can't do online. I'm from Dallas.
Same situation over here...
Oregon
OD - 1/13 (11:15 AM)
MYLR, White/Black/20"
EDD as of today: 2/6-2/15
No VIN yet........
So right, plus, the clearcoat is hardest at the top. Polishing just removes some of that and makes soft paint, softer. Plus how long is it going to be optically perfect in normal driving conditions? Just doesnt make sense. I am doing the same as you.
Yep, I'm in Oregon as well. Seems odd that our EDD is potentially very soon, and no VIN...
