Just got my text to schedule tonight at 8 pm and the earliest was the 25 but busy that day. Going to see if I can move it earlier since I’m off on the 20th and 24th

Congratulations on the successful delivery! Our cars may be from the same batch, as our ODs and delivery dates are close and our VINs have the same 3 digits. Keeping my fingers crossed that my car is similar to yours in quality
Look up damage disclosure laws. They vary state by state but essentially if a car sustains a certain amount of damage as a % of their MSRP they must disclose it to the customer, which tesla did here. In addition some states require this to be written onto the title as well. The fact that tesla told the poster about the damage means it is likely over this threshold, otherwise they could have given some vague "its not ready yet statement." You would be VERY surprised by the stuff that gets reported to carfax/reporting agencies. Tesla doesn't care since the car is now the customers problem, they got their full money. Its very funny to me the people on these forums who are talking about rejecting a car over not having their right headlights but having a few thousand dollars in repairs on a brand new car before delivery is acceptable to them (just talking in general not about anyone in particular). Personally idc about the headlights but if I find out my car has been in the body shop its an automatic rejection for me.I agree with this. Until you sign for the car, it belongs to Tesla and shipping damages are not reported to any accident tracking entities. Once titled, any accidents will be reported (or are suppose to.
The original poster in my opinion should find out more about what happened and really carefully consider their options based on what the SA tells them.
Edit: Just want to add that even if the car damage isn't reported a savy buyer/mechanic may very well be able to tell. In addition if you try to sell back to tesla they WILL definitely know and that can affect the price of resale. Why lose money before the car is even off the lot?

There is a special Tesla portal that goes to Ohio for some reason. It’s got to be Elon’s prototype stargate or something.
Got assigned my VIN this evening! 
VIN range is 277XXX. M3 will be awaiting us this Saturday18 June 2022. Might need to move that right to get PPF installation before the drive home. I did not get verbatim confirmation that the car sports the matrix lights but SA left clues in his message more or less. I'll believe it when I see it ... (soon enough). I can remark that it is indeed true that near the end of the process, things happen quickly. This is getting quite real.

OD: 3/29
DD: 6/11
VIN: 277
Delivery: Los Angeles, CA
Car was home-delivered. They drove it btw, despite somebody in this forum mentioning that they home-deliver by truck. Found a small issue with one of the small windows on the back - there are 2 internal cracks in the glass, barely noticeable but you can see them in the sun under an angle, so I accepted the car and scheduled service appointment for them to take a look/fix. Other than that I love the car, lots of small improvements good comparing my previous (2019).
Tires are Continental btw.

Congratulations on your successful delivery and thank you for sharing your experience!
I'm going to get home delivery too. Did they give you an ETA before they arrived? How did they notify you of the arrival? Where did they put the key cards in the car? How quickly after you made the final payment were you able to access the car?
Haha, you must be new here. Yes, it’s bad behavior, and yes we are all still here despite it all
My OD’s 3/13, most of us put it in the signature for easy reference (turn sideways to landscape orientation on mobile) once you meet TMC’s 5-post threshold.
Just today my EDD had pushed out to the end of June; not a few hours later I had a VIN and delivery date. Given your proximity to Tesla I’d say there is still a fair chance you’ll have your car this quarter! See some of the FAQ:
Talked to a different SA at the actual SoDo location who told me as much, it’s a 4/23 build date (mis-typed 4/26 the first time, oops) that’s been waiting due to the charge port issue forever. Must be why I had a late April EDD at one point? Still a lil skeptical.
SA looked at the config and also confirmed it has the ‘premium’ reflector headlights, bummer. I guess that’ll make it less hard to reject the car if it has another issue, but certainly fine on its own.
Also offered—without me asking—that it has the latest infotainment chip. Apparently boneheads are still asking about this even though it’s been freaking forever since a M3/Y shipped w/ Atom processor!
Had to move scheduled delivery to Friday but this’ll give me more time to maneuver with the bank anyway. Maybe can push it earlier if I can get my ducks in a row?

It's gotta have something to do with logistics, right? I wonder if they store vehicles somewhere in Ohio (undoubtedly cheaper than Illinois) and that when there's a cancellation during the time the vehicle is headed east, the vehicles just end up parked in Ohio. From there, any Ohio orders would get matched up first because the cars are already right there. Boom. Instant order fulfillment. I can't think of another reason for filling Ohio order so fast. Except, you know, that it's Ohio.
VEry highly recommend Credit Union 1 , they were so awesome and quick . You can apply for Auto Loan directly w/o membership . I worked with Shanee Sanders , she was very good and responded very quickly . Got my loan approved in no time . Great rate ofcourse , got 60 months 1.99
I got my VIN today! 272. But idk. I’m still not getting my hopes up. I feel like I can’t be happy until I see the car and sign for it……
Happy Sunday morning.. the day has finally come for me, Delivery day !!! I pick up in 8 hours..these last few days have been exhausting to say the least but it will be well worth it..

Just checked them out, not bad for the 60-month, but Affinity Credit Union is cheaper for anything above that.
