VIN 179630
They won’t hold the VIN. I tried…. They will put the order on hold. Just pull the hold in a week or so.
Think twice about putting it on hold. They will give it away. I put M3 on hold Dec. 23, just until Jan.1, because I was traveling internationally. The SA assured me that I would NOT go to the back of the line... He was wrong. I still don't have a car nor a Vin, and my awesome financing offer of 1.69% expired last month. Now it's 2.74%. Many January orders have been delivered and I'm still waiting. My guess is you could be delayed 2-3 months if you put it on hold.

First National Bank of Pennsylvania. I guess that leaves out folks buying from Carvana, etc. Pretty short-sighted on their part.
I was assigned a VIN and later removed, Tesla called me back to let me know it didn’t pass in the factory inspection back in line for now.
VIN assigned today!
M3 LR MSM Black interior 18in Wheels
OD - 1/4/2022
EDD has moved around so much I never kept track - Varied from all of March, to Late March, to Late April-Early May
EDD after VIN assigned - Feb 21 -25
VIN - 181XXX
Now to get financing squared away since I stupidly put in the loan application the day I ordered (they made it seem like you HAD to after ordering). Turns out today is the LAST day before I have to re-apply. Hoping both my bank and Tesla can get this paperwork stuff figured out by today so I won't have to re-apply.

I’m thinking loc. I ordered same as you but black seats & 19” sport on 2/11 with pick up near Philly. EDD is 5/16-6/13. Which lines up with your timeframes.
Congrats. Just curious, how did Tesla notify you of the VIN?
Bummer! Sorry to hear that. I was actually surprised to hear that they do a factory inspection. Isn't that the customer's responsibility?
I order same exact trim on 1/7.
My EDD has stayed steady. 3/17-3/31 then 3/1-3/29 and now it's at 3/5-3/19.
Hoping to hear something soon.
I am actually curious to how they assign VIN numbers in the factory. Feels like the car should be passed after production before being assigned to a VIN. Instead they assigned a VIN to me and then a day later say it didn’t pass inspection. Unless the car crashed or got damaged loading on to the train lolCongrats.

I think the "upgraded" sound system is referring to the removal of one of the speakers.
I was woken up by a text message, then an email followed shortly.Congrats. Just curious, how did Tesla notify you of the VIN?

Seems like a lot of early Jan orders are getting VINs on the mid-east coast. Hoping to get VIN soon, but seems like it will get pushed back on monday

If was thinking of rejecting the vin since this will be my first one but I’m afraid they will assign another one with 24-48 hours. Maybe I can put it on hold for 2 weeks only. It silly to beg/work around car company like this same goes for ICE dealers. I hope thing can get back to normal before this becomes our new normal. Thx everyone
Woke up to a 180xxx VIN and one week window on the app this morning!!First time posting here, thought I'd add my data points!
Order Date: 12/30/21
Location: Santa Clara, CA
Config: M3 LR Blue/Black/Aero Wheels, no FSD
Original EDD at order: March 2022
EDD 1 (updated 1/1/22): 2/12 - 3/12
EDD 2 (updated 2/13/22): 2/18 - 3/4
Still no VIN assigned, checking (multiple times per day) on both mobile and account page (w/ Chrome extension). The anticipation is killing me, I honestly haven't felt this excited considering this is my first new car and seeing all the recent graduates from this forum
One interesting thing that happened though was that I got the trade-in text on 2/4, I guess how it was worded didn't warrant a response so I didn't reply. I got a voicemail from Tesla on 2/15 saying that they needed "additional information", called them back and guess it was just them trying to reach out to me about the trade-in, which I confirmed with them that I don't. They said other than that "everything should be set" but that "they have no further information" on the dates.
Since I am considering doing a loan through DCU, considering the timing and updates, should I start on the application process soon? I have my payment method set as cash as the SA had recommended (since I wasn't sure at the time what I wanted to do), but also seeing the potential for delays (especially for the blue exterior), I also don't want to get an approval too early on and have it expire (and redo the app/get another credit pull) if the EDD gets pushed back. Any advice (or DCU referrals) would be appreciated!

Going through insurance quotes right now and sounds like Tesla was able to still comfortably beat AAA which I'm already receiving (I'm guessing significant) loyalty discounts for, since several of the other insurers like Farmers, State Farm, and Allstate were almost quoting double for my current policy. So close to the finish line now!!
7 days to delivery and today is the first time I got a phone call from Tesla speaking to a real person 
All my interaction so far had been through SMS messages.
We went over the details of registration, insurance and payment.
Also learnt that the vehicle is still in transit.
