Yes. They set at 15 by default because they will drive the car to your house. When mine arrived, it only has 8 miles but still says 15 on the paper

Thanks, I got the confirmation that vehicle has 3 miles and someone would drive the car to my residence. I assumed earlier that vehicle would be loaded in a truck to deliver at my residence.
The current nor'easter might have something to do with that...

So you think waiting 2-3 months for your Model 3 is bad, huh?
I ordered my first Model 3 in March 2016. I didn't get the car until March 2018. Imagine the anticipation of being in this waiting room for 2 years!
It didn't help that ever-accurate Elon declared that mass production was ready and would begin in July 2017. We all ran out and bought a bunch of accessories, wired up chargers and... waited. And waited. And waited some more! Tesla made all of 260 Model 3s in that first quarter (Q3 2017) far undershooting Elon's production promises. And none of those went to customers. Tesla made all of 1,542 Model 3s in Q4 2017 (also far undershooting the production roadmap) and only a very few of those went to customers. Clearly the COVID supply chain issues hit Tesla much earlier than most companies!
I was one of the very first to order the car (camped in line hours early) and I finally received it on Thursday, March 29, 2018... 8 months after "mass production" started to hear Elon tell it. And I hope to never, ever receive another car at the very end of a Tesla Quarter again (but that's another story).
So you Tesla youngsters who are stressed about waiting a few months don't know anything! My generation had it way worse than you! Now GET OFF MY LAWN!!! (But thank you for making the world a little better.)

Sorry if this information is easily found somewhere, but my Google-fu is perhaps weak today. Does anyone happen to know what the hours are for the Fremont factory pickup on Saturdays? I got a message saying I could pick up the car today, but I can't make it there before 5PM. I tried calling the center, but got no answer. Tesla's website says the "Store" is open until 8PM, but I don't think that is the same thing as delivery.
EDIT: Got a call back from Fremont - they are indeed open until 8PM for pickups on Saturdays.

My boyfriend bought his M3LR a few years back and was surprised when I told him about these “waiting room” forums and how I’m checking the app for EDD updates at least daily since I ordered my car in mid-Nov. I guess he placed his order and then just went on with life as usual until he was contacted about picking up his car some 6 weeks later. Such freedom from anticipation
Thanks so much, you are correct and it worked! Evidently TBD is normal for awhile

Ugh, I rejected my old 154xxx VIN and few days later got assigned to another 154xxx VIN (a different one). So they’re still floating around…

Just called Tesla and told them I can't take delivery tomorrow. They were willing to hold the car until Friday because of this storm They even said I can except delivery after hours (7pm in my case) and drop the documents in the dropbox.
I was actually calling to cancel then they suggested holding the vehicle lol. Seeing all these people with the AMD chip plus wanting to apply for this Carolina Cooperative FCU 1.99% rate vs 2.49% Tesla. It actually makes sense to release the VIN. Lower payments and AMD chip.
Does anyone know which credit reporting agency they pull credit from? (Carolina Cooperative FCU) Thanks

Oh no. I am thinking of rejecting VIN. Looks like they won't assign newly built cars if you reject. They will just assign another rejected Vin if it the same smh. I see it's white seats. I also have white seats but MSM. Looks like those have early VIN's
Yes - you need to pay for the car before you can take possession, and they won't accept a personal check. So, you need to do ACH, or I think they may accept a cashier's check. Also, of course, if you are financing it, the bank needs to have sent the remainder to Tesla.
Many thanks! Do I have to do ACH days before delivery to wait for it to be settled? Or I can submit it just before accepting thr car.
