LR AWD Performance (Stealth TM3) Waiting Room

is it a known thing that VINs change somewhere along the way for these stealth performance cars?

I ended up calling the Fremont factory directly and speaking with Sales. They said that the newly assigned VIN is still a pre-production, but there's no additional info about when the production will occur. He did say that he was quite confident delivery would happen before the end of the year, even here in MN.

if i may ask, what number did you call and/or how did you navigate the phone tree? every time i call tesla it seems that my call gets routed to some random place; called the # for the walnut creek showroom and ended up talking to a guy in a completely different city... and when i called the office # listed for my SA it was a dead end. given that experience i don't think i can figure out how to talk to someone in fremont on my own!

@astrorob : In the same boat as you, hopefully I will have it before 21st, planning for a long road trip from Tampa Fl, to Indianapolis for the Christmas.

same exact problem, might have to skip my winter travel plans if they can't deliver it before the 20th. i was told they would but from my reading here it really seems like this is going to happen at the end of the month, if at all.

Dang.. and here I was really getting my hopes up.
The spreadsheet appears to have a lot of 601xxx VINs scheduled for delivery (both higher and lower than my new one) so I was really hoping :(
 
good question - i am in the same situation. at the time i asked my SA to switch i didn't really understand that i was switching from a car that hadn't been build (LR AWD)... to another car that hadn't been built. on dec 5th he said i could take delivery sometime around december 10 so that gave me the impression the car was almost ready, but then i came to understand the car was 'pre-production'.

FWIW the VIN was in the source immediately once my order status page reflected the change.

I am in the same boat as you are, I changed my order to stealth on 12/04 ,I see VIN in mvpa and source, it 6019xx, I don't know if it is already built or not. Do you mind sharing you last few digits of VIN. Thanks.
 
I just checked the source code again and noticed that my VIN is not the same that it was.
It went from 602xxx to 601xxx .
Does that mean that my car is built? I know I was given a pre-production VIN originally.


My car, picked up in San Francisco on 12/4 is 601XXX. It has a build date of 11/2019. I think VINs are very non-sequential and do not indicate much of anything.

I open this app multiple times a day, why? I have no clue. Right now it is the closest I can get to it. Anyone else?
 
After recently going to the local group orientation, I learned that you won't see anything in the phone app until you take delivery.


They literally key you in and activate your mobile app after you sign the purchase agreement and hand over payment.

They'll ask you to login on their computer with your username and password, then they'll make sure your phone app is loaded and showing your vehicle.

I have two phones I use an android and an iPhone and I order the ios version better...

Plus the iPhone can use "stats"

I've read some saying they got activation the day before delivery.

Really, all somebody needs to do is to turn mobile access to "on". Sometimes they do this when the car is being detailed. When I took delivery, I didn't have access. I asked the delivery specialist, he turned on mobile access on the touchscreen and I instantly had connection with my phone.
 
Gave it its first wash tonight and met up with another forum member to swap my wood dash for a white one. Then stopped by LACMA for a quick shot. Love it! It feels like I'm driving for free haha[ATTACH

You doing any coating and/or PPF?

Mine is spending the night at a detailer shop getting a ceramic coating. It’s torture not having the car for two whole days!

I had Xpel Ultimate Plus installed for the front facing parts (bumper, fogs, headlights, mirrors, rear quarter, trunk guard, and front rocker) the day after I got it. Also tinted the whole car with Xpel CR+ including windshield. I washed it with a ceramic wash and will probably wipe it down this weekend with Mother's CMX ceramic to coat it.
 
Just got a message that the car has been produced and is in transit.

Delivery scheduled for 12/14.

VIN 6019xx. I would assume whole batch of similar VINs have been made as well.

Finally I too got the magic text saying my vehicle is ready, and asked to schedule an appointment this Thursday or Friday. Will be picking up the vehicle from Fremont, CA
