I'm not sure you can use those as any sort of guidelines. There are many reasons a car may have taken longer to be delivered especially those traveling across the county, or ones in Texas that be delivered until they are paid for, or what if someone passes on a vin because they are out of town and can't take delivery.

Is there a way to know if I'm getting someone else's reject?
- Thread starter ucla95
- Start date
All I'm saying is if manufacture date is snug up against your delivery date, you have reason to believe you are NOT getting a reject. But even passing on a VIN due to scheduling conflict seems like it would just quickly go to the next person. It won't need to be sent somewhere for repairs, which can take days or weeks. It would literally just be "dsvick can't take the car, so call up drawfour and schedule it".

So yesterday I had just got my Tesla Financing info set to confirm, when I received the call (from Vegas) that my car was ready to schedule pick up and that it was already at the delivery center (Portland, OR)!! Had to scramble yesterday to figure out money etc. But today when I confirmed pick up, I asked if this was a reject or if it was built for me. She said it was a "spare" and it probably was because financing or some other reason it couldn't be picked up, so it became available. Vin 652xx, dual motor. I really, really hope it is a perfect car and not something sub-par! Its a three hour drive to pick it up on Saturday.
How about we refrain from using slurs (homophobic, racial or otherwise).

I just got assigned a VIN number 45XXX, after several cancellations/delays.
They told me that this would be a new car from the next batch of cars coming directly from the factory. It doesn't look like a new VIN , it looks more like a VIN from a 1-2 months ago.
My car is a Red/RWD/aero. Delivery is in Fremont.
Any ideas/suggestions?

I didn't ask, but it also didn't seem like an option. (After 2.5 years of waiting and never actually seeing one up close, I will deal with the pain of the drive)
Ironically, from what I have heard home delivery is reserved to those who live closer to delivery centers, not further away. At least that's what people here in CO have been saying. If they are too far away from the Denver delivery center, even within the Denver metro area they are being told they live outside the home delivery area.

You are right. There are 4-5 service centers and the factory within 20 minutes of where I live. Yet they do home delivery to my location!
But, I found the following at the FAQ page of tesla.com

What if I live far away from the nearest Service Center?
If you live more than 160 miles from the closest Service Center, your vehicle can be shipped directly to your home or office. Payment in full is required before the car will ship, and a window for delivery will then be provided.[...]

Although it says payment in full is required before the car will ship, I *think* I have seen some posts on this forum that people paid with cashiers check / ACH upon delivery, which I assume would mean you can refuse to pay if you reject the car.
They are randomizing the release of VINs to obscure production numbers. Look at the delivery spreadsheet pinned at the top of the ordering forum. I just got my RWD VIN yesterday: 58XXX. Some folks yesterday got ~78XXX and ~46XXX. They are all over the map.
Thats my short form of "negative nancy" - someone who commonly whines, complains or looks at the bad side of things.
I don't know what you are talking about but that is not a slur. No one would one make any sense given the topic being discussed..?
That may have been your intent but know that most people don't abbreviate "Negative Nancy" in that way.
See below:
I ordered Red LR AWD and wanted to change it to Blue LR AWD Performance. I had issues trying to work it out with my Tesla inside delivery person. I was supposed to pick the red one Monday... Even though I changed it over the phone... my Tesla.com account still shows my old config. So my original red might count as a reject when there may be nothing wrong with it.

Back in the early Leaf days (which was only slightly less crazy), we called these "orphans". It was an extra car that wasn't purchased, and an opportunity for someone to score one earlier than expected.
