I was just assigned a VIN# and hour or so ago, no delivery scheduled or contact with SA/Tesla yet.
In Denver, CO. Ordered May 9th - LR MSM/black int, 18” wheels, no FSD.

Awesome! LR are getting VINs. Hopefully, I get mine soon.

I'm stalking this forum and I think you might be like the 2nd LR in CO to get a VIN

Just wondering is it real that LRs are getting delivered later than SR+/P or we're just delusional? If it is true, why????!!!!
Well I just passed my original 4 to 7 week window that conned me into giving up $100. Tried to chat with Tesla but it's clearly just a good bot, that clearly doesn't give a *sugar* about anyone buying cars. ZzZzZ. I remember when cable companies were the biggest crooks around but even them, if they screwed up would give you something for your time.
Honestly I’ve been lurking on these forums for awhile too, haha. I know CO folks (and anyone out west really) have been dying to get their VINs. I was shocked to see mine pop up at lunch and had to register just to post and give some people hope!
If you are on the west coast or just west side mostly it appears this way based off of surveys and statements given here. They probably got behind a little and shut down model 3 production to make model S or something for a while. They also probably make more money off of the other trims like someone said earlier.

I assume they're spending their batteries on high margin first (Performance) then high volume per battery (Standard Range) then ending the quarter just working through the long rangers with what they have left.

Yes, that does appear to be true.

I think that more to the point its the third MSM black 18" VIN in the last couple days... so I'd guess thats what on the production line schedule, basically.
I think it's wayyyy worse for west coast than this suggests as well. In Washington they have only filled up to April 1st orders for Long Range models, at least up to late april for everything else.
Just on the account page so far. I logged in, got the Tesla Vision disclaimer page, hit the Proceed with Delivery button and that was it. I now have a VIN listed below my RN but have not been contacted yet. Figured I’d give it more than a few hours

No, did not have to join or open an account with PenFed to apply. But approval email said "Membership requires $5 funding for Regular Share account" which would be needed to accept the loan.

If you only look at CA, OR, and WA then the averages don't change that much. If you look at only the west coast in 2021 it gets even shorter. Of course that doesn't account for 2nd quarter orders (since we don't have that data yet) which seems to be where the problem is right now.
Hmmm. I'm right at 44 days right now, so my VIN should show up tomorrow.
Maybe since the survey started. If you look at it from this quarter and also take account of people who haven't gotten a vin yet then it's much larger. April 1st last order date to get a car that was 75ish days ago? I know my order to vin is at about 50 days and counting now.

After getting PenFed's approval, they called (didn't answer unknown number) and emailed me asking to confirm and accept the loan offer. But I replied that I would not be accepting and was no longer contacted.
In my case, I thought it was worth it since going from 2.49% to 1.99% saved $10/month. Doesn't seem like a lot, but $600 over the 60 months helps.
