I have only gotten 50% through the process but as I understand it, you put in all of the details about your vehicle which generates a KBB value. You also indicate if you still owe anything on the car which gets subtracted from the value (seems you can roll this debt into new loan if need be). They then reach out with a questionnaire to fill out including pics of the car, then the calibrate and give you your final offer.

I filled out all of the info immediately (on 3/2), as I foolishly expected to have my car by now. Anyways, less than 24 hours later I received a trade in offer. I've 'accepted' it, although they haven't seen my car nor said the offer was conditional on anything. We'll see what happens during actual delivery. My trade in isn't worth much, so if it doesn't work out I'll take it to carmax or something.

get a quote from carmax and call tesla, they will match the offer for the trade in, they had initially offered me 12k for a dodge charger, but carmax offered 13k, called tesla and they matched the offer.
Mine got "stuck" somehow and my delivery specialist had to basically re-enter the trade information on their side. Once she did that I had a final trade offer in like 10 minutes
I called. This was the same case for mine. She was able to initiate it right there on the call. It was just shy of the KBB quick quote they gave but that is because I had an accident on record. Not at fault but they don't care about that. I asked if she thought I would take delivery within a month from my order date as to not let my financing offer expire. She said, "I couldn't even speculate on that, sorry."
I ordered 3/4 and my trade-in situation was a little weird. Saw a value in the overall cost breakdown, but nothing in the trade-in section. Also nothing about what I owe on my loan. Called them and provided the loan info and they adjusted everything correctly almost immediately. Was never asked for any pictures, just the initial VIN and other stuff. Pretty happy overall, fair offer + reduces sales tax. This happened in about a week.
Also no VIN. Called today and they had no idea, just said haven't matched you with a car yet.
I ordered 3/4 as a day 1 reservation holder, Black/black and 18" wheels. I called today asking about estimated delivery window and told them I will be out of town from March 20 to April 3. They think that the factory is just pumping out SRs right now and will switch to LRs soon. I asked if it would be an issue if it came in while I was out of town but he thought it was likely to come in around the time I return... So another 2-3 weeks. Then an hour after I called, someone else from Tesla called to see if I was interested in an Obsidian Black for $1,090 extra. It is tempting but I think I will continue waiting for my order, as I'd rather spend the extra money on other things and not risk a car that has been sitting in a lot for who knows how long.
