That never worked for me. I did this several times a day every single day, include an hour before I actually got the VIN assigned. I'm pretty sure Tesla quickly squashed this bug in their code. When you have a VIN it displays proudly right above the "View Design Details" popup link. Before that, it was never in the source code.How to reveal your Tesla VIN number before it’s in your account

We went with Progressive because it was $6 cheaper and seemingly more reputable. So while the Tesla insurance is cheaper, it felt more like a risk due to the lack of reviews/years established.
So, for everyone that has a VIN but not a scheduled delivery date yet, I recommend you call your local gallery (if you have one / picking up from one), and speak to an advisor. Before I called, I had a window of Sept 16 - 22nd. In talking to the gentleman on the phone, he was able to see that it was scheduled to get there on the 18th (Saturday), so the earliest I could have picked up would have been the 20th since the car is scheduled to arrive on the weekend and they need a week day to clean it up and make it ready for pickup. I opted for the 21st due to my work schedule on that Monday. Also, upon scheduling, the option to make the final payment popped up, and I could now review all of my finance agreement documents.
TLDR; A day or two after you get your VIN assigned, call your friendly local Tesla gallery and see if you can schedule your pickup. I'd still be looking at a EDD of Sept 16 - 22nd if I didn't!

Congrats! Thanks so much for showing us VIN-less what the Tesla Vision consent screen looks like. Hope one of those shows up on my phone soon.

Final payment complete and delivery is scheduled for Tuesday the 14th at 1 PM. I called to get an earlier appointment, they said the car is still going through the final phase of inspection. Once the inspection is complete, they may reach out with an earlier delivery date but he suggested I try and call tomorrow or the day after as well.

I got my VIN on Tuesday and my delivery window is tomorrow, Sept 10 - Sunday, Sept 12. I haven't heard anything from Tesla about scheduling pick-up.
My husband has been saying I shouldn't call but after reading this I might go ahead and call, haha! I want my M3 already!

Tesla quoted me $1,000 for 6 months. I got a similar quote through my current insurance. It may be cheaper, but the coverage may also be less. (which was the case for me)
Edit: adjusted Tesla insurance policy and now it is nearly identical.

We ordered on 8/23 and the page just changed from November 7 - November 29 to Estimated Delivery: September 22 - September 30. No VIN yet
how did you get the number for your local dealer? I have a vin, but was never assigned an SA, calling the number listed just gets me the normal Tesla number not the delivery site.
I just pulled up Google Maps and searched for tesla gallery, selected the closest (15 miles), called the local number associated with it, sat on hold for like 20-30 mins, then once I spoke to the advisor all of the magic happened

Wow, California insurance is absurd! My policy with Farmer's in Texas will almost double from my current Volt to the M3LR. Except by double I mean I go from $300 every 6 months to $600 every 6 months. I couldn't even imagine paying $2000+ per year for insurance on ONE VEHICLE. I mean, our annual home insurance isn't even that much, and it cost a hell of a lot more than $50k! OUCH!
omg! I thought my insurance was absurd! I feel fortunate to only be paying 721 every 6 months.
