My EDD is 2/16 - 3/2, so close to yours, but no VIN yet. I've had that EDD for about 2 weeks now, no changes yet.

For me it was mostly the finding-new-car fatigue from last year and time needed to do the research.
I have been driving a beat up 25 year old (!!) Toyota van, but luckily I don't drive much as I work from home. I started looking for a replacement early last year, was open to both ICE and EV's. Model Y was above what I wanted to spend on a new car, but I did take a note of it's supposed bumpy-ride. Coming from a minivan, I wanted the new car to have nice ride quality. Spent weeks doing the research and tried to get a RAV 4 Prime. Spent weeks/months looking for one, but dealers wanted 8K over MSRP or the waiting list was literally years out. Then looked at ID 4 briefly, but by the time I tried to get one, it had a long waiting list as well (with dealers who did not mark up). So I just gave up and decided to wait for whatever "supply chain issues" causing mark-ups to go away so I could get a car without mark-ups.
When Tesla cut prices, I didn't even consider putting in a order as the supposed bumpy-ride scared me away. Yes, I know I should've done a test drive to decide the ride quality myself instead of going by others' take on the ride quality. But it did prompt me to re-start my research for a new car, eventually I found information (posts, videos) about the "comfort-suspension" for Model Y. ICE/Other brand Dealers still had their 8K mark-ups. So I finally put in a new order on 1/23.

You’re Welcome!I took my delivery yesterday at the SC in Lawrence, NJ.
We arrived half an hour earlier and the car was parked right in front of the entrance. We checked around it and almost immediately concluded that we wanted it. I didn't feel to pull out the comprehensive checklist I had spent time on. As people are saying here, it's the first time for me to have such a list after buying quite a few cars. My wife didn't remember that we did much inspection at all on the current cars. We actually check rental cars more carefully than our new cars.
I asked a guy to unlock the car so we can check the interior. He was very cooperative and agreed right away. Again, everything was nice in the car too.
We only found two things, a wider gap on on side of the rear lights and the rocker was not flush on the driver's side. The delivery guy told us to note them in a ticket. We handed out the check and accepted the car in about 40 minutes.
On the way back, I noticed some high-frequency noise at speed over 50 MPH, when I press acceleration. It's not obvious at all, while I could hear it if I turn off the music. I wouldn't have paid attention to that at all if I hadn't read the feedbacks from @3YMimi73 . Thank you! I will definitely include it on the ticket.
Overall, I would think it's a good experience. I was actually pretty nervous after hearing the unpleasant stories here. I told my wife that I felt going to an exam when we were heading to the SC. Everything turned out OK.
The J1772 adapter and front plate mount were in the trunk. I also confirmed the matrix headlights. We did light show at home of course
My OD was 1/14 morning. The car is Fremont made, on 1/28.
Good luck, everyone!
I’m thankful that the 23 MY doesn’t make the noise. That’s the first thing I listened for once we were on the highway headed home. I hear some noise but I’m sure it’s just the motors doing their thing. It’s definitely not nails on chalkboard like it was in the 22 MY. Hopefully everything works out for you
On mine it shows up as "Edit Design" and is underneath the "To cancel your order" line..

https://www.tesla.com/teslaaccount/edit-design/RNxxxxxxxxxIt doesn't. I have not seen the edit option since the day I ordered. Its been about a month now and no VIN assigned. To top things off, my EDD got pushed back to late March on 2/14.
Well at least you're getting a delivery in March... some of us are now well into April-May.

Or when your used to driving a Tesla and then have to drive the pickup towing a camper
That takes some skills
do you have to click "Submit a request" to cancel first for the "Edit Design" to show up? i don't see it under the "submit a request" to cancel link.
Yeah, it is still not good. I was told I'll get my car on 3/5 or 3/6 and this was told on 2/10. I ran out of luck on 2/14 I guess. I also want to edit the design but I can't do that either. Tesla absolutely hates meWell at least you're getting a delivery in March... some of us are now well into April-May.

I was told by the SA that if the finance part is completed, they won’t let you to change the design anymore. You just need to call them up and they can lift the lock so you can change the design.
That is how I changed my original order from a MYLR to a MYP on the 2/3.

Wasn't planning on getting a new vehicle yet. Then after deciding to check them out, my first opportunity when I was free to test drive wasn't until 1/20.
Uh no I wouldn't anything like that...
This is what I see on the webpage.. maybe I'm missing something?
Also make sure you didn't get logged out inadvertently..
edit: @kfc2 brings up a great point about financing versus paying cash (see their post below)..

My cousin took the delivery in Austin TX at the Research Blvd location. (MYLR, White/Black, 19"wheels which is Austin build). No build quality issues and everything looks great. No Matrix but it does have the cargo cover. Seemless experience, all went great. There where tons of cars being delivered and lots of folks driving them away (meaning no one was seeing any major issues that are usually highlighted on this board). Which made me think, if all Model Ys being delivered had issues, then this board will be like 10,000 pages long. Anyway, she is very happy because to her the ride quality is great and she did not hear any excessive noise while driving back.
