Thanks. I guess for the part of the Bay Area I’m in it’s delivery only. I asked about picking it up from the service center but was told that was no longer an option. Makes no sense to me as you would think it would make the process more efficient if I went to them than them to me. Oh well, if all goes well I should have a car on Wednesday.

I got mine the second I ordered it, because it is a inventory car. So I’m guessing the fact you don’t have a VIN means they are still producing Long Range RWDs, that’s good, O was thinking they’d stop since they took it off menu. They wouldn’t give me a new production one since they had inventory.

Nice! On Sunday I got a VIN and scheduled delivery for Wednesday but that isn’t going to work. No one contacted me and I had no luck getting in touch with anyone today. Hopefully that changes tomorrow.
What part of the Bay are you in? I’m in the South Bay and was told I they aren’t doing pickups at the service center anymore; have to do delivery. Same deal for you?
I’m in San Jose. We went to the store at the factory to test drive and order as I figured it would be neat just to say we did.
After ordering the SR+ and thinking about it for a couple of days we sent a text to our sales person and changed the order to the off menu RWD LR instead.
After that the sales person stopped responding to texts and we found out yesterday she’s no longer with Tesla and we have another sales rep now. He doesn’t seem as nice and doesn’t want to give us the 5,000 miles of supercharger even though we ordered the LR on April 30th.
There was never an option to pick up at the factory... they insisted on delivery the whole time. We were told to not give the check to them until the car has been inspected... in case we need to refuse delivery. I’m excited but nervous that the quality of the build won’t live up to the cost of the car based on a couple of the threads I’ve been reading here.

Heh? If you have a referral code make sure to have them punch it in before delivery. My rep did it after the fact and said it’s a simple case they make on Salesforce. Same they had to do to adjust order from SR+ to LR RWD.
Unless you mean that you mod your order on the 30th? It goes off the original order date. If that’s the case, unless you cancel and reorder we’re stuck with the 1000.
Bear in mind you may see 10 or 20 people with serious issues here... but Tesla is delivering on the order of 10,000 cars a month. While there are undoubtedly manufacturing and delivery errors and the corresponding horror stories, I think reading about them on the forums gives a distorted view of the chances of needing to refuse delivery. (My delivery was great. We fixed some cosmetic stuff on the spot, but had I taken it home without that, I would not have been disappointed.) I don't mean to understate the problem that others have had, but I don't think the chances of one particular delivery running into that deserve the stress leading up to it.
Oh, also don't forget that a lot of the bad delivery reports are from last year, when... well... there were a lot more problems. Someone had sabotaged the paint shop robots, suppliers were failing to supply parts, all kinds of things were going wrong, and they were rushing like mad to get cars out before the tax credit expiration at the end of December.
It's been MUCH better this year.

Do you have any photos? I have this same exact color combo. Well, not in hand yet... Sigh...

Nothing offered and I take delivery Saturday. Adding AP is still $3000 pre-delivery and I think $4000 after delivery? The “deals” from my tracking happen either end of each month or near quarter end. However, the times I checked it was either marking off the paint or white interior if delivery taken by x-date. To accomplish, you would basically be accepting an inventory or demo vehicle that matched cause the timelines for the special would be 1-3 days.
The LR RWD is off-menu now so I think most are being made-to-order in batches making it hard to time out. Kind of annoying when you are arranging your own financing via bank/credit union.

My process was this:
- Place order to generate a reservation number
- Tesla employee makes a “case” for it in Salesforce noting the adjustments to LR RWD.
- When the case has been updated, your Tesla profile updates to the LR RWD.
