So we would have 30 days to hold once we get a VIN? So we should hope to not get a VIN until Dec 1st...

I received my VIN yesterday 11/20. VIN was displayed in the app, and later in the day I received a call from Tesla, asking if I still wanted to move forward, & about finalizing payment. FYI for those in MI, due to (antiquated dealership) state laws, we must pay in full before Tesla will ship the car to our state.
Really don’t know what the deal is with your order, since you ordered before me.
My current EDD is 11/22-11/28. I expect it to get pushed into December for the actual delivery, but it isn’t fair that I got a VIN before you, when we had identical config and you ordered a few weeks before me!
One thing that I did recently (on 11/15) was take a test drive from the Somerset collection store. The SA who helped me with that test drive is the one who called about the VIN. Also emailed me the purchase agreement so I can bring it to the bank on Monday and set all the payment stuff up.
Prior to yesterday, my EDD was looking like 12/1 - 12/29. Was like that for about a week-ish?
I am curious if taking the test drive has anything to do with getting moved along earlier? If the SA updated their computer system in some way, or something? No evidence and no way to tell, but before the test drive I had minimal/no contact from the virtual team, had ordered online 9/24.
It does appear others in the Midwest (IN, IL) have been getting VINs recently, looks like there was allocation for our region and possibly you were passed over?
My data for anyone curious:
OD: 9/24/21
White/white/18”/no FSD
Detroit
VIN received 11/20. 57 days order to VIN
I had entered cash payment, and filled in insurance & trade in info as completely as possible, as early as possible. Told the SA to take off the trade in and switch to 3rd party loan when they called.

So now my app is more unlocked and shows all the details for the car and process just waiting for reach out on setting up delivery. This is the most crazy thing though I had to redo my trade in because it expired after 30 days and the new offer is MORE than what the first one was by $1000. So they offered me MORE on my trade in. Has anyone had any issues when actually trading in and them NOT giving you the price offered?
Took delivery on Friday at the Rockville, MD delivery/service center.
Overall the car is what I would expect for a new car. No panel gaps or imperfections, however I am missing my front USB C ports and wireless charging. I was prepared for that possibility so it is what is. I’ll get them in a couple of weeks. What I was not expecting was for Tesla’s backend systems to be having issues causing me to technically not be able to take delivery of the car within the app.
This resulted in a few features not working till yesterday evening.
1. Unable to set my home location in the nav which led to..
2. Sentry mode not being able to be turned on.
3. Auto pilot nor the rest of the advanced safety features being fully functional.
4. Unable to setup my phone as a key
5. Unable to add my wife’s Tesla account to my car.
6. Unable to schedule a mobile service to install homelink.
7. A warning reminder that could not be dismissed for the delivery appointment
Thankfully the system finally corrected its self yesterday around 5:30PM and I was able to do all of the above.
Also not sure who asked what tires are currently coming on the car but they are Michelin supremacy mxm4 all seasons are fitted to the aero wheels.

Ah dang that’s awesome for you. Hope you enjoy it! I wonder if it’s switching to cash first since that’s really the only difference we had
Regarding the USB ports, do you expect they could be installed via mobile service? I'm in northwest Vermont a few hundred miles from the closest SC. I've heard the Tesla ranger that services my area is very competent and everyone seems to love him. I would just hate to have to drive down to Boston area to get my car serviced so soon after picking it up in New Jersey.
Yea possibly. I did the cash at first because I had read somewhere that was the recommended route for getting VIN quickest.
I definitely feel for folks like you & EV70, waiting longer than others with same config & same delivery location, but not getting VIN.
My EDD did jump back & forth a few times, the VIN kinda came out of nowhere, and have read other reports of similar “early surprises”, so perhaps there is still hope for you. Maybe even more so with some people delaying till 2022.
My sentry mode (live video capability) is not even available as an option to me (through the app and the car) at the moment, took delivery yesterday. Was that also not available to you initially? and if so, is it working now?
Yes that is what they told me at the service center that it will be a mobile service.
This requires an update to your car mine is not working yet either.

Do not have mine but guessing the Sentry mode requires the USB memory stick plugged in ?
Last I heard, live video is only available for Apple iOS for now. I have an Android phone and I still don't have it either.
