Model 3 Highland (US) Waiting room

my theory is that VIN assignment and transport is bottlenecked at the local delivery centers output.

car gets produced (not assigned) > local delivery center goes down their list of assigned buyers to their location > local delivery center checks for schedule and parking lot space > VIN assigned > car transported > delivery scheduled.

I think the issues that can happen are:

• car unloaded from transport and fails PDI (post delivery inspection) > car goes to repair. maybe VIN unassigned here or delivery delayed
• local delivery center parking lot is full (customer delayed pickups) > car goes to offsite storage and back of PDI queue
• customer cancels order after/during transport > local delivery center go back to their list and because human error picks customers out of order
• PDI repaired car moves to 'inventory' list > local delivery center go back to their list and because human error picks customers out of order
• customer rejects car at delivery > car moves to repair > car moves to 'inventory' > local delivery center go back to their list and because human error picks customers out of order

if you have another delivery center option near by that is not your assigned location, it might be worth it to see if your delivery contact can check inventory there. When I got my 2018 model3 I was assigned to pick up in one location, but my VIN assignment got removed because it needed repair. The delivery person was able to check inventory at a location 50 miles away and assign a car to me at that location, which I immediately drove to for a pick up.

It is no secret that Tesla operates on a quarterly schedule. They always have. They ship the furthest deliveries first and the closest last. Expecting anything different will just give you an ulcer.

Though I am in Tampa and my EDD is 23-31 March.

But you need to go the Delivery Center for that?

yeah I spoke to the delivery center employee in person, but that was in 2018 before the App had messaging.

Weird, they forgot about us all today! Maybe tomorrow.

I don't know, been looking at the reddit page and folks getting vin's with OD in February for LR. Kind of frustrating. Happy for them, but it is frustrating.

 

[happyelegance]

I'm surprised we haven't seen any AWD LR VIN assignments this week - maybe one or two. But lots of people have end of March EDD. The plot thickens

And to add more to it - I contacted the agent from the Tesla app, and the agent said (s)he has not seen any white interior M3 delivered so far (assuming he/she meant the delivery center my account is associated with in Austin TX). It sucks that Tesla never communicates it at all (other than keep giving fake EDD) given they already knew the production issues (or maybe a “preference”) and planned for it

Your EDD is consistent. It just means your car is likely (or will be soon) on a train headed east from Fremont.

Wow, that really sucks. Where are you looking? Can you share a link here, please.

After 4 days I messaged my sales advisor and he reached out to his team and the offer showed up a few hours later.

Thanks kingdomino. Funny. I reached out to the SAs, since you mentioned it, and they stated they do Offers in order of order date (which I find hard to believe). But, within 30 minutes after their reply I got an offer. I've checked with Carvana, Carmax, Autonation (local SD I think), and a couple others, and was just waiting to hear back from Telsa. Tesla was the best, plus they're giving 5000 miles free charging too with the trade in. Will be good for road trips.

Feels like we got reasonable amount yesterday. They've at least decided who is getting the car in march and who is getting it in April/May.

Guilty as charged! I just want my damn car so I can drive instead of incessantly checking here, reddit and the damn tesla app.

I have a AWD SG/black int/18” 1/10 order date in Dallas Texas. My EED is March 9-31. What’s the bets on that coming in March or being pushed

Because they have to build your car in the middle of the quarter to ensure they can transport it across the country by mar 31. They can build a car for Bay Area delivery on mar 29.

I'm fairly optimistic we'll get our cars by the end of March.
