LR AWD Waiting Room
- Thread starter tperugia
- Start date
Wow....When things move, they move real fast at Tesla I guess. I saw my VIN just yesterday morning (may have been added a day before, I didn't check). Scheduled delivery here in Raleigh, NC on 12/7. But I just called up the local delivery center to find out if they have same information. Lo and behold, front desk person tracked down the vehicle to Charlotte. So it has reached a place that's just 3 hours away. And now I've been told delivery may happen earlier than scheduled and I'm not complaining.
Congrats!!! Hope i happens sooner rather than later. Been waiting for a while. 5 weeks almost now. Hoping my car comes in soon!
Thanks for clarifying this. I wish my Delivery Specialist would have been more clear. His introductory email asked me to be sure to have my insurance ready so that they could issue temporary tags to the car for Delivery. But I can't get the car added to my policy without a VIN... I was thinking my lack of insurance information was possibly holding up the VIN... like a chicken or the egg situation.
No VIN yet. Nothing in Source code. Ordered 10/31 LR AWD, White/White AP, no FSD. Really want to see some progress. trying to stay positive.
Ordered online October 11 for delivery to Denver, CO
Black with white interior, LR, AWD, FSD, 19in
Found vin in source code this morning. Yay! Hours later received text from advisor giving me the vin and instructing me to upload insurance. No indication of a set delivery date yet except from my orientation email from 11/21 which says "expecting delivery of your vehicle to be within the last 2 weeks of December."

Hi,
First time posting here. Is it a must to have insurance for the vehicle VIN to be generated. I ordered mine on 10/30. M3 LR AWD RED Black Aero Wheels no FSD.
Thanks,
Chan
I'm not sure. My SA said 2 different things at different times. At first, he said wait until we get a VIN, apply the VIN to your policy (which is weird because I dont posssess the car yet?!?!?) and upload that to the website. I called today and he said just upload your current policy.
On the website under Manage, it does say this: "Proof of insurance is required to take delivery." Further, the link under insurance says this: "Proof of insurance is required to take delivery, and must be valid for the next 60-90 days. If you're registering in these 12 states, insurance can be provided for an existing car. In all other states, insurance must be provided for the Model 3."
I'm in NC, which is not one of the 12 states where you just need any policy. State Farm says I need a VIN to insure the car. Tesla says I can't take delivery unless I have insurance. But I need a VIN from Tesla for insurance...mind spinning at this point.

It depends on state law as I recall my SA that they don't even look at it for CO but depending on where you are it might be different. The VIN allocation is not dependent on your insurance status since you can't have insurance without a VIN, however you can't take delivery of your car until your car is on a policy if your state requires it. Some states like Colorado allow 30 days for the car to be added to the policy.
Thank you. This helps
. Just wanted to make sure not having insurance is stopping me from getting a VIN assigned. I tried reaching my SA over past 3 weeks but no response. So annoying.I uploaded the insurance info for my current car & got my VIN in source code the next day. I have since replaced it with an insurance card for the Model 3. Also, I never heard from anyone regarding a delivery date but discovered it on my account page online a couple days ago. For those waiting for delivery, you might want to check your page online since they may just assign a time for your delivery there.
Took delivery this afternoon
AWD-LR White/Black 18" FSD.
Delivered in Bellevue, WA
Car was flawless, in/out of the delivery center in 45 minutes (i did an inspection before signing) -- car came with 10.1 software .. (not the latest update, but the one that introduced cones to the display)
