Mid Range waiting room

So, that is the ONE user that used the tracking sheet that said they had a white interior and had a delivery date. Which, looks like is actually true. I was assuming for some time it was an input error.

So interesting that only 1 of the 200 people on the tracking sheet for white has 1) got a car delivered and 2) is the ONLY one that is even scheduled.

Maybe all the white ones are for people NOT on the forums? Seems possible but statistically unlikely. Maybe this user got the demo/test build white interior for the Mid Range. Kind of like the person that got the first MR overall got it within like 10 days of the announcement.

Doh! I knew his name sounded familiar. You're right, I think he got a demo build.

Damn, I was hoping it was the floodgates opening...

I seriously need something else to obsess about :)
 
Called Tesla today they had me as home delivery which was automatic because of where I live relative to delivery location. Changed to pick up at delivery center because they said it would be faster. 5 weeks and waiting for that magical text from 510 area code.
AZ NON OWNER no previous reservation
MR Black/Black/Aero/No EAP

Also in Az, I called and asked for Fremont pick up. Figured a road trip would be fun. Spoke with Vegas call center rep and he said I would have to tell the DA once my VIN/delivery dates are set up.
He was pretty confident that I would see a VIN this week or around the week of 12/3.

Ordered 10/24
Non reservation/not a previous owner

White exterior

Come on, man. Tesla isn't searching the forums and somehow linking forum usernames with accounts registered to tesla.com and then holding back deliveries to these people. The guy who had a delivery is an anomaly.

Not what I said. In fact I basically agreed with what you said, even though you said I disagreed. You implied that I meant that they were holding them back specifically for people on the forums, but what I was saying that we only have a limited sampling size of users, so there is a statistical chance that people are getting white deliveries, just that we don't have enough users on the forums that surfaces that fact.

But, that does not seem likely as we do have a good volume of white interior users on the tracking sheet, with NONE having deliveries. I could probably build some geeky charts and statistical models for this, but I'm too lazy :)

I reserved on 3/31/16 (day 0) and ordered MR white interior. I’m interested to see if my reservation prioritizes my delivery.

My Rep was tight lipped on when I would expect a vin assignment. I really can't complain considering the folks who reserved in 2016. Nontheless, I'm like a kid in the candy store..
 
Don’t count on a reply via text. I would call the service center to schedule delivery.

What service center?
 
My delivery is on Friday and my local credit union has been dragging their feet over past 4 days for approval. My delivery is scheduled on Friday.

If things don’t work out by tomorrow which I don’t expect, then can I reschedule to next week ? Does anyone know the process ? Maybe just call the local center and ask for reschedule ?

What's causing them to drag their feet? I was pre-approved within 24 hours. That kinda sucks if you have to delay delivery because they're taking their sweet time.
