Can you see the defects now? The solution was repaint, and I didn't want to go down that route.

I just got a new vin 97XXX leaving California with delivery probably on Sept 30 at Manhasset.
How long did it take between refusing and re-matching VIN? I refused mine on Friday and WAITINGGGGGGG to get rematched.
 
This will be my second brand new car, but I was just wondering because they say 5 - 10 min of delivery process. GOOD TO KNOW THANKS.
Sorry, but screw what they say. It is your money. They don't like it, tell them to stuff the car. Their attitude will change real quick! Too many people are treating Tesla like they are doing you a favor selling you a car. That is NOT the way it works with the masses.
 
That’s interesting. I see you have an expected delivery day of the 17th. According to the tracker my car was delivered to Richmand on 8/25...almost 1 week before you. My expected delivery day i think is the 24th. My IDA is not the greatest in responding to emails and providing information. He initially said he expects the car to arrive the week of 17th and gives me deliver options of 20th or 21st and then goes silent. Then answers several days later and gives me time options for the 24th and goes silent again.

Little late in replying to this post, is your delivery at Mt Kisco. I had the same exact scenario except that my IDA is super responsive and replies to my emails pretty much the same day.
I am taking delivery on 9/20

My delivery is either Manhasset showroom or Direct to my home. IDA still hasn’t responded to an email I sent him a week ago.
 
Well Tesla just called me to cancel my delivery date on 9/20. They were unable to give me another date. Vin disappeared from my Tesla account. Crickets from my DA. This is my second Tesla I have a model s. Their customer service has been terrible since my model s. They need to get it together .There is competition coming. They aren't the only game In town anymore.

Tesla just called to cancel my delivery for the 20th (truck delay). She said the truck was on route but weather or something else may have delayed it. Rescheduled for the 27th :( Anyone else picking up from Richmond VA get a delay?

In many states you don't have a choice. You pay before you can see/get the car for legal reasons with Tesla.

And even in some states where they CAN legally sell you have to pay in advance- NC just switched to only home delivery. With payment in advance of delivery.

No payment, no delivery.

You can still reject the car at delivery if there's a significant problem, but you'll have already given Tesla the payment.

You are in NC. So take delivery in Raleigh. They can accept payment there AFTER you inspect and test drive your car.

No, actually, they can't.

They're no longer doing in-person delivery at either NC location.

Home delivery only. After payment.

(this is a new thing)

My IDA specifically told me I can do the paperwork AT Raleigh, but would have to do so before the actual by-truck delivery from elsewhere (since Raleigh has no space to store cars).

As someone in Pittsburgh waiting delivery: how long does it take to get from Fremont to the east coast? United road shown my car only arrived at BNSF Richmond, CA on 9/14 and they already rescheduled my 9/19 delivery to 9/27. I want to believe I'll see it this month but can't really trust anyone to be truthful to me.

Don’t know how long it typically takes. But in my case my car was delivered to BNSF Richmond on 8/25. Was originally told it was expected to arrive the week of 17th. I have a direct delivery scheduled for 9/24.

Had my delivery scheduled on 9/13 after moving it from 9/11. MVPA signed, check from bank ready, wall charger installed. Got the dreaded call on 9/12 evening from Springfield NJ about car getting into some sort of collision on their premise. I was told it will take 2-3 weeks to get it fixed at body shop. I opted to get new VIN. Since then awaiting re-match. Any idea if I loose priority being early reservation holder since I asked for rematch? Current estimate shows Oct - Dec 18. From ordering to VIN match first time took less than 10 days. Currently driving loaner provided through Enterprise by Tesla.

My config - AWF/Deep Blue/19 inch wheels/Black Int, AP, FSD

guess whay.... i sent email to my delivery specialist to check status of reassignment of different VIN and he assigned me same VIN. Frustrating and kinda funny at the same time..

So I am in the boston area and my car was dropped off to the rail yard in Milpitas CA on 8/31. My IDA said my car will be delivered today 9/19 to Dedham MA. I have heard reports 12-20 days.

I'm kind of hardcore about this sort of thing. I would point out that the MVPA currently claims that you agree that the car has been delivered, and that you will not and cannot legally sign it until the car has been delivered. Tell 'em if that's a problem, they can refund your money and you'll buy a car when they have the ability to make a legal-to-sign MVPA. Or offer to pay, sign, and pick the car up in Virginia where you can inspect it.
