Let's see.
1) New car with no plates. Check
2) 0-60 time faster than any police cruiser. Check
I would think just about anywhere will work ;-)

Congrats! I like the photos of your new Model S at the Superchargers. And Motor Trend trophy is always great to see:smile:

I disavow any knowledge of previous activity here :redface: but it is a well known FACT that back in the previous century (70's-80's) favorite racing location in southern Sonoma county rodders and Marin county victims was Nicasio dam.

Tesla will give you a vin if you wait, likely earlier if you call or email them. The problem is vin won't be assigned until car enters production so it's hard to know when to start calling. I suggest watching the forums to see when others with cars similarly configured to yours with about the same reservation number start getting theirs.

Your Delivery window is similar to mine so I would call them today and you may get your VIN
Good Luck

You should definitely call. I never got any information until I called.
Jan 21: I called and they gave me a delivery window of 2/16-3/2
Jan 24: I called and they said I didn't have a VIN yet.
Jan 31: I called and they gave me a VIN and a DS; they said the car was in "early production and would be ready in 7-10 days"
1 hour after that call I get an email from my DS saying that my car is ready! The earliest they would let me do factory pickup was a week from that date. So I'll be picking up my car at the factory a week ahead of my delivery window.
@MTGMAN: Given our configurations, VIN's and reservation numbers, I wouldn't be surprised if your car is already built and awaiting transport.

That would be very cool I am ready and if there were Charging stations across the US I would do a factory pick up!:biggrin:

I'm surprised that I haven't seen a prize posted yet for the first cross country drive. I guess they are waiting for the Supercharger network to be built out.

I think with all the RV Parks it could be done I do have A new class A Motor Home I could drive to CA and on way back when I need to charge I could stay at RV Park in my RV until full charge :smile:

For all of you taking factory delivery, if you happen to use a supercharger please take a picture of and post the power/amps, similar to this post:

It'll be interesting to know if the 60kWh pack can access all 90kW or has a smaller number (like 60kW).

This thread has a picture from Tejon from a 60: Supercharger - Tejon Ranch - Page 3
Looks like he's showing ~70kW at the picture even at around 40% full battery.

I saw about 70kW max when I charged at Hawthorne. 220A/320V, 71 miles of range. (I'm not sure if that's rated or ideal range. The bar looks like it might be around 40%.)
BTW, the Hawthorne supercharger kind of sucks. Only two working connectors, one of which was charging slowly (70mph). (I switched once the other S left, and that's when I got the numbers above.) And nothing nearby. Not even a restroom available unless a friendly Tesla employee lets you into the building.
For the record, P9964. VIN# 4924.
I was told today that the car is in "burn in" process and should be ready for factory pick-up next Tuesday (2/12).
Unfortunately, due to personal scheduling issues (worst weekend ever to be going to Tahoe!) will likely not be able to take delivery until 2/19. Going to be a long two week wait!
