Received a text this evening with the VIN (estimated delivery March 3-10). Austin build.
Dave, are you actually trading? I'm not trading (nothing selected in my app) and today they still sent me a text today about trading. They offered $10K less than I sold my truck on Craigslist for, but their text mentioned the tax advantage of trading to lower your sales tax. Unfortunately for them, $10K more from Craigslist sale was nearly 4X the sales tax I would have saved..
But they did shorten my EDD by 6 days yesterday (as soon as 3/10) yesterday. So I hope I'm as lucky as you and get a VIN tomorrow or soon!
When I placed the order, I didn’t indicate that I had a trade-in. I was hoping that when I got the text encouraging me to consider trading-in yesterday that I was getting close to a VIN. I was pleasantly surprised today to get a VIN (still no trade-in planned).
Hopefully more W/B/19 are rolling out. My OD is 1/20 and current EDD is 3/18-3/31. Fingers crossed.

Ok, good things DO happen to bad people 
. I saw on waitingfortesla.com my exact ordered (but with a Tow Hitch) car. My original order (OD 1/26) was pushed from middle of March to 10APR-15MAY. I clicked on “RESERVE”, paid the $250 fee. I headed right away to my SR in West Suburb of Chicago, about a 20 minute drive.
Long strory short - arriving at my local show room, there were two SAs. I asked about switching my original RN to this new order so that I could purchase at the ‘sale’ price I had on first order.
He said/she said: One agent said she thought so, but at the same time the other said it would work. She said that they should check with manager in back. He said manager would not do it. She started typing the request to manager. He said again not possible. Viola! While we were talking I noticed a few minutes later on my app as well as a text that I received a VIN number. Delivery date 14MAR!!!!!!
Note as I mentioned that this one has tow hitch. I will of course be paying the original price + $1k for the hitch. This also gets me into that $7,500 tax credit window.
Yay me!!!
I did “buy” the waitingfortesla guy a coffee. I am also grateful to the sales agent that helped me (she is also the one that was assigned to me originally.
Yes. Good things do happen to bad people!

Got my car today @ Mt. Kisco NY. Came in 15 minutes early. My car was there with my name, unlocked and waiting. Everyone @ Mt.Kisco was really chill and helpful. "Take your time, no rush, please let us know if need any help" Looked car over in/out and it was flawless, at least to my eye Matrix lights, cargo cover, adapter. One little issue with front passenger side window rolling down every time I tried to close it was resolved by tech in 5 minutes. Did my trade in BMW 335XI - also easy and no issues, no games. Speaking of trade in. I did get a better offer from Carmax and Driveway. Initially I liked the Driveway better b/c they were willing to come to my house to pick up the car and their offer was close to Carmax. With Carmax I would have to drive the car over 40 miles and reading their reviews did not motivate me to try them out. Anyway, as soon as I was done with virtual inspection of Driveway they came back with low ball offer that they did not even try to explain when asked. So, I basically told them to put their offer where the light does not shine ... At this point I did not want to deal with another dealer and more bait and switch tactics. My trade in deal with Tesla and my SA at Mt.Kisco was straight forward, no headaches and to me it was worth a bit lower price for my BMW then I could possibly get by selling to another stealership. And I did not want to deal with private sale. I am happy with my new MYLR and the delivery experience at Mt. Kisco NY SC. I like MYLR suspension. It is a bit softer than BMW but still plenty of feedback from the road which to me is a good balance between comfort and drive feel. Acceleration and cornering seems on par with BMW if not a bit better. The car is quite. I am not sure about booming sound. It might be there but was certainly not overwhelming or bothering me much but might have to try to adjust the stops and see if it will do anything. Driver side mirror view is surprisingly small. When properly adjusted there is no blind spot but I think I am going to try a slightly curved mirror instead to get a bit bigger view. The hood I can't possibly see so parking in a tight spot without sensors is a bit tricky. I am sure I will get used to it soon. Wish you all best of luck and many joyful miles!

bay area tesla buyers are de-prioritized and penalized by Elon and team 
NJ as well. They are prioritizing 20'' and MYP. It looks like they are de-prioritizing the states with most incentives.bay area tesla buyers are de-prioritized and penalized by Elon and team
Exactly! I was going to say the same thing. I just attended that online session and they demoed several “normal” noises. Amazing that some people, with all this waiting time don’t avail themselves of this free info.
JUST GOT THE VIN FINALLY
Kinda bummed it’s an Austin build being in SoCal. Guess no matrix for me
Latest EDD 3/15-3/24
Also immediately got the notice about tesla vision right after being assigned the VIN
MYLR white/white/19
OD 1/14

All 3 of mine make that noise once in awhile when updating. It doesn’t do it every time thank goodness. The first time i heard it make that noise, I recorded it just incase it wasn’t “within spec”

I don't think this is true only it seems that way thanks to our tendencies toward cognitive bias -There are likely a ton of different factors not all under Tesla's direct control. I could see them gaming things a bit by holding off on the earlier "discounted" cars a bit to generate some additional FOMO and sell off existing inventory / receive additional $$$.
Based on everything I've read in this forum, the only meaningful difference is that the MYLRs coming out of the Fremont facility have updated matrix headlights whereas the Austin builds are shipping with the older version of the headlight.
But that RAV 4 hybrid will take even longer to deliver...!
How is the ride quality? Is it better than MYLR as you had expected?
