Didn't give me the option for home delivery when I initially ordered the car. Not sure if I could have added it after? But it would have been another $750 and prob would have had to wait an additional week as per the guy at the service center here.

Not to be overly pessimistic, but will diesel fuel be unaffordable before my Tesla is ready to ship? The universe would do that to me…
Finally build my car, can’t afford to deliver it. Maybe they’ll partially refund my delivery fee and issue a stipend for travel to Fremont and I’ll just drive it home

Well the good news is the car will essentially drive itself home on the way back
I hate long road trips, but silver lining is that it'll be a very fun new car, so hopefully makes the drive seem not as long.
NYS limits Tesla to no more than 5 direct to consumer sales locations in the state. Thank the politicians who happily take car dealership syndicate’s bribe money.
Wow didn't know that. So there's brooklyn Smithtown Mt kisco where are the other 2?
Matrix. Note the eyeball in the corner.
The matrix headlights have the ability to selectively turn off parts of the beam so that oncoming traffic isn't blinded. I think it also can do beam steering to point the beam in the direction that the car is turning. This works great for winding roads. Note that Tesla has to write software to make those sorts of things happen, and there's no word on when they might do that.

"Eastern" orders are shipped by rail to Chicago, Illinois and Birmingham, Alabama, then sent by truck to their final destination. "Western" orders are sent by truck from the Fremont, California area. As you're in Illinois, you're an "eastern" location, and I believe they're finishing the eastern wave now and getting ready to start on the western. This is less direct intelligence from any source so much as a general observation after watching things for a couple quarters.
Be sure to put your order details into your forum signature so we can help set expectations (and avoid repeated posts of that information). In general, trust your first estimated delivery date. They have been accurate. That said, I think Tesla is making some rather lengthy EDDs these days. The web site is quoting four month windows. I guess Tesla is trying to leave themselves some room to maneuver.
I'm a Chicago suburb delivery, ordered 2/26 and got my vin this past weekend. Car is in transit with a VIN of 262XXX.

Thanks to everyone on here for keeping me occupied during the long wait for my new Model 3.
I picked it up last Friday and I've been loving it. I've already installed all the accessories I had waiting for the car. Also purchased AB

seems like 250+ vins have a low chance of matrix headlights. I was told that my 233 VIN has matrix but they don't expect any other cars delivered to tennessee to have them for some time
I had 2.9% with Wells Fargo directly through Tesla. I called Delta CU and got 2.38% for 72 today and a lock for 30 days. Just if anyone is looking for good rates.
I’m a fellow Edmonton order and have been down there a couple times. Seems like a mixed bag in the lights from what I see.

Tackled on the 1 yard line. Car won’t be in NY until Friday so moving back to Sunday Delivery. It sure would have been better on Friday, but I guess at least I don’t have to worry bout traffic now.
