I don’t think so. You check in and then they match your order to a car. Maybe if you don’t like it you can try again?

Any MSM, 19's with White Interior
Contemplating heading over but I was paying cash with LightStream financing that won't be liquid until Monday at the earliest. Wonder if I could at least get a VIN now and pick up later

If you aren’t prepared to pick up today, I’d stay home. I don’t think they’re set up for that.
They should just do it shopping spree style. A huge gate that opens and everyone runs to the car they want.

Correct and I’m assuming if you received the invite email and RSVP Tesla sent yesterday

Yes, and if you don’t pay they turn the car off remotely. Then repo it via FSD.
How many vehicles do you estimate they have on the lot? Great way to reduce channel inventory before the end of the quarter and have potentially higher delivery than produced numbers due to carry over from last quarter.
Although I have a vin assigned taking delivery at an event like this would be cool and I’d welcome it.
I’m assuming their might be some concessions maybe we don’t have blue would you be interested in another color or interior or rims etc. Great way to potentiallly upsell to features you didn’t already config for. It seems like it’s best to show up as early as possible to avoid having to potentially make those concessions. But a great strategy on Tesla’s part to say we don’t have this vehicle without EAP would you be interested in a demo to potentially take this vehicle home that matches what you want plus EAP.
Will continue to drive up ASP in Qtr and also potentially margins

So we are expected to go to Freemont with no assurance that our car is actually there? Its a significant journey for me. If they told me my car is there, I would go, otherwise it seems very risky and possibly highly disappointing. I don't have a VIN and was going to pay cash. I just spoke with customer service and they are in the dark as well. Ugh!

That’s right. If you aren’t close by, I wouldn’t go. Wait for an appointment.
For me it was a $25 lyft, and I was curious.
Thank you. I do have an appointment later this month so I think I will wait. Too risky!
Right. Same situation as I'm in. Drive through traffic is just too long when there's no assurance that my car will be sitting there waiting for me.
Thanks to all those who have contributed to this thread for the benefit of those of us who also received the invitation and are wondering what the heck is going on!

After about an hour of shameless eavesdropping, I'd say that this event could work if you want a First Production car (LR-RWD-PUP-black) and aren't too fussy about options. They seem to have all the colors and wheels though.
There are a few higher-optioned cars, but you'd probably have to take whatever color, wheels, and interior they happen to have. It's like buying off a dealer lot, except that you have to have a reservation already.

I’m quite a ways out from Fremont as well and got the invite. I’ll wait until delivery.
I wonder if this is a good option for you to at least check out the car first, and if there are problems, another one might be available for you to switch? Since there’s no official VIN assigned yet it might be a good option.

They should do it "reality" TV style... solve this puzzle blindfolded for a chance to buy a car! Second place gets a hat. Everyone else goes home.They should just do it shopping spree style. A huge gate that opens and everyone runs to the car they want.
Totally agree. I am going to be extra cautious. It is the performance model so I'm thinking it likely isn't an old reject since they haven't been making them for long. Their quarter-end is a few weeks away so I know they want to ramp up deliveries asap.
