Just learned a couple of things, which I'll pass along: As some reading this might recall, I was initially assigned a VIN for a 2018 model which I said I did not want (also due to the fact that I changed from gray to white exterior). The old VIN remained on my account, but I was assured that it would not prevent me from being matched to a 2019 white/white car. Friday I received a text that my delivery date was 3/29. I was excited, but concerned that this reflected the original 2018 gray car with the old VIN. I called today and learned that, yes, it apparently does. I do not have a VIN assigned to my order (placed 3/07) at this point. I was told it was possible I would be assigned a VIN soon, however, so I am hopeful for that.
Late last night, the same VIN reappeared on my order page along with a new Dedham pick-up date of 3/29. I've tried calling twice but got nothing but voicemail, and no call-back. This is starting to get tiresome.

Oh... and one other thing; the rep I spoke with at Tesla (who has been very helpful and straightforward in cutting through some of the ambiguities of this process, as well as getting my paint comped) told me that this forum was a mixture of real, honest people sharing their experiences, and also trolls. The rep stated that there are instances in this forum of people claiming to have ordered a car on one day, been assigned a VIN almost immediately, taken delivery, and that when they checked it, it could not have happened. So... the takeaway, I guess, is that we take what we see here with a grain of salt. I know I'm real, and I'm sure most of you are, but not everything we see in this thread is necessarily true or accurate given the nature of things in cyberspace.
An update, in case anybody's keeping score: I got a call today from a delivery guy who helped cut through some road blocks on my order page. It's still showing a 3/29 delivery date in Dedham, MA, but I was assured that the car would be delivered to me in Rhode Island; however, he said it could take a few days to arrange for transport from the delivery center to Rhode Island, so I probably won't get it until sometime next week. Fortunately, I'm not under any sort of deadline to get the car soon.
Sounds exactly like something a troll would say.
My paperwork showed 50 miles but the car actually had only 6 miles on the odometer.
The Costa Mesa delivery and service center is the main delivery hub for all of Orange County, which probably has more Teslas than anywhere other than the Bay Area. When I picked up my car on Thursday, the place was dead. I'd say there were one or two other customers there besides me, and at least 30 Tesla employees standing around. I spent over an hour going over the car to make sure it was OK and nobody seemed the slightest bit bothered about how long I was taking. When I didn't like how one of the door trim pieces lined up, they offered to take it to the service center to fix it. It came back ten minutes later and was fixed perfectly.
So I guess every location is different regarding overall volume. Your experience may vary significantly.
Honestly felt like a Saturn commercial, but with a way more fun car.
So received my car Saturday. The “orientation” was actually pretty nice. I sort of assumed a group of us in a room. But they had the cars in service bays w Tesla volunteers to show us all the car and answer questions. All 1x1. There were only 2 of us. One for S and me. We ran thru my check list. Finance was ready to go. That took 15 min of signatures. Transferred stuff from trade in. Not much. They took off plates and I’m awaiting DMV registration.View attachment 389550 Finally got delivery confirmation for to da March 23 330pm. So much for that personalized experience. See email image. I am excited. It’s only 1 week delayed. Will post once I pick it up. Long planned Road trip tomorrow.
I submitted my order on the 10th, so consider yourself fortunate if they delivery yours on the 29th.I'm finally coming out of lurking to add to this post.
Order date: March 19
Text with "tentative" delivery date: March 29
Can't get anyone from Tesla to confirm payment method or trade-in. Just lots of "yea that'll be handled closer to delivery, usually 4-5 days beforehand" which is getting frustrating. I just one one hard answer to any of my questions.
Called again today about confirming my "tentative delivery date" and was told they can't yet confirm it. Requested to see if there were other variations that might be available that WILL convert my delivery date from tentative, to confirmed. Currently waiting for a reply.
