Not sure how it works but my sales person said they ship cars to Colorado once a quarter, sounds like it's either the last month of the quarter or bust

They ship the production from the first half of the quarter to Europe I believe

It’s just too brutal. I saw some Californians ordered late May/early April already got their cars but no luck for me. I ordered on 4/3.
Anyways, as the day approaches, I’m starting to purchase some accessories to soothe my anxiety. Do you guys think frunk mat is necessary?

Ok, so I just got off the phone with Gabriel from Fremont. He gave me some great information on the progress. He said the build date so far is scheduled for June 19th, though it could move up or back depending on how production goes. From there he said it could take anywhere from 3 to 9 days to get loaded onto a truck and down here to Buena Park. I should expect a VIN a couple of days before the 19th, assuming the manufacture date holds.
He did wonder how I called their number though when I ordered online and my SC is in Buena Park. I told him "I don't know, I just called a number and got routed to you.
" So they do seem to be getting a ton of calls from all of us. lol
It feels refreshing to get some good info though.
Gabriel for President 2024!!!!!

Gabriel is who I talked to, he saw my order was from North Carolina and asked about it haha. I told him someone had told me they were extremely helpful and decided to see if they could help me, he didn't have an issue with it but I think they know at this point someone must have posted about them online at this point. It seems like it's just two people Gabriel and Robert that answer for that department over there.Ok so I just got off the phone with Gabriel from Fremont.

There's also Europe and the rest of the world...North America gets prioritized at the second half of the quarter.

Some are but not all of them, I think they only started to deliver some of the cars from China to Europe last year.
Hi all, I just picked up my car and love it. With that being said, I want to write about my delivery experience.
I live in northern New Hampshire and there are no delivery centers in this state. When I ordered my car, I chose to pick it up in New Jersey and drive it back — should be easy, right? No! So I got my VIN last week and last Friday, I got the a text telling me my car was arriving (remember this) at the delivery center and would be ready for pickup on the next day, Saturday the 29th, Monday the 31st or June the 1st. So I decided to schedule to go pick it up on Monday.
On Sunday morning, an drove me 2 hours to the airport in Portland, ME where I caught a flight Newark in preparation to take delivery of the car the following morning. So, 10 AM comes around and I am glowing like a kid on Christmas Morning, ready for my brand new Tesla! I showed up at the store and there were a bunch of new M3's and MY's lined up, but none with my VIN or name on it — Strange, but the car muse be here, right? It has to be in one of the bays getting prepped, as the store just opened.
So I head inside to ask a rep where my car is. I was directed to wait in the lounge and a "delivery specialist" would meet me there. So, in walks my helpful delivery specialist who shall go unnamed; "yeah it looks like your car is still in transit and won't be here until Tuesday at the earliest. Our ETA changed, there's really nothing we can do for you right now, sir. It happens all the time. The best we can do is move your appointment to Wednesday Morning" Can you imagine my shock? We all know that Tesla ETA's never change! I told her, "I just flew down here, left my wife at home for a trip that was supposed to be only one night, booked a hotel, rented a car, and it is unfortunate that I will have to spend more money and time here. I want some guarantee that the car will arrive tomorrow." She responded with a typical canned, inconclusive, and insincere response.
In that moment on Monday morning, I was SO close to cutting my losses and heading home. Over the next 48 hours, I would be given the run-around on where the car is and it yielded no definitive results. I kept calling to ask where the car was and after the third or fourth time, I think the Tesla delivery department might have put a BOLO for my number with the instructions "DO NOT ANSWER!"
Then, suddenly, I got a call that my car had arrived! Once again, I showed up to the store, ready to get my car, and I am hit with instant déjà vu! The car isn't there! Now, let me be clear, I am not one for conspiracy theories, and it takes a lot to make me mad, but I began to wonder, does the car even exist? Did they sell it to someone else? So I go inside to ask the kid at the front desk where the car is. He told me it was there, but he was not sure where, and to wait in the lounge. I waited for about 20 minutes when another "delivery Specialist" came to find me by calling my name out. She confirmed they had the car inside charging "to 100%," as she knows I have a long ride home. I asked her not to charge it to 100% for its first charge (let's not go down the charging habits rabbit-hole on this one!) and she disappeared to presumably unplug it. Then, she comes back and presents me with a highlighted form and asks me to sign before I get the car. She explained that this would expedite my delivery process and get me on my way sooner. I read through the form and it was the delivery form that says I accept delivery of the car — What!? She wants me to accept delivery before even seeing the car?! Now, I am a pretty calm guy, it takes a lot to get me mad, but I was feeling pretty frustrated in this moment, but I had to remain polite. I demanded to see the car before I sign anything.
She finally brought the car around for me to inspect. The car was great except for a slightly misaligned trunk which will need to be realigned (NOT in Jersey!), I accepted delivery, and I drove off with my new Tesla. Phew, what an adventure!
If you take anything from this, take this piece of advice: If you are prompted to schedule your delivery, especially if you live far from the delivery center, make sure the car is there, or they know exactly where the car is before scheduling delivery. Call the delivery center beforehand. I realize that my situation is the exception to the norm, as I chose to pick the car up 8+ hours away from home instead of paying for delivery. If f you live nearby a delivery center, this would merely be an annoyance, not a financial and emotional inconvenience.
This process, from ordering to delivery, has been difficult; it has arduous and wrought with let-downs, uncertainty and doubt, but I have the car, and in my book, all is well that ends well. So, what can I say? This is still a win!
I want to thank everyone in this thread for being so supportive and helpful throughout this process — I have asked many questions and every time, one of you will answer. That means more to me, and has done more to help this process along, than I can express with words. You all are great. And for those of you who are still waiting, may your wait be short and your delivery be smooth! Au revoir!

I'm glad you made it out and are happy with the car!
You're a very patient person who really wants their car. I hope Tesla knows that not many will stand for this kind of treatment once any real competition comes around in the not too distant future.
I've pretty much resigned myself to the fact that my delivery is likely to be a goat rope. That way, nothing will surprise me.
Agreed. EVs in general are great, but there’s something about Tesla. They get it, while most of the major automakers are, at best, just starting to.imagine ordering an electric vehicle that cannot, as of this moment (OR maybe ever), take advantage of the level 2-3 and soon to be v4 super chargers around the country while driving long distances?
EDIT: BUT BUT! an ev is an ev! saving the earth one ev at a time.
I’m replacing a Bolt that GM repurchased due to the battery issues. The supercharger network was a very big selling point, as was the fast charging speed. Even here in NY, DCFC exists but they’re few and far between. Many only have 1-2 stalls installed. When I did fast charge the Bolt, it wasn’t terribly fast. The Bolt only fast charges at 55kW, a number that for some stupid reason hasn’t increased with the upcoming 2022 refresh and the EUV.
Previous EV's the manufacturer's saw the target audience as people who just wanted to save money on gas, GM and Nissan were particularly bad about this. Tesla saw it as an opportunity for a performance car. Other's have caught on now, Ford, Polestar (Volvo), and Audi/Porsche have all started to make electric cars that are also quick, other's have competitive offerings coming out in the next year or so. In the next few years I'm hoping there will be some really good competition starting.
Ordered April 15th, Got VIN Friday, pick up scheduled for tomorrow.
I must say the whole experience has been quite different from every other vehicle I've purchased thus far.
Blue AWD/black interior, Aero wheels.
The rollercoaster on delivery dates has been a source of much gnashing of teeth and hair turning gray and falling out so far. But, on the plus side, I installed the wall connector (myself), got floor mats and other accessories in my hands already, so I'm ready to make the car mine as soon as I get it home after work.
I have mixed opinions on my Sales Advisor though... Hell of a nice guy, but follow-up on emails and keeping me in the loop has been spotty at best.

Saw an LR AWD Blue + White interior build in inventory at New York location in transit. Someone can take her home. ( I still love Red + Black so not this time lol)

I hope you’re right about this. We really need as many great EVs out there as we can get. Robust competition will make for better vehicles.
Better vehicles and a more robust charging infrastructure.
