I got to know who you call to get those kind of details. Every time I call, text, or e-mail I get super generic answers.

Tesla's Supercharger Team was recently laid off. We discuss what this means for the company on today's TMC Podcast streaming live at 1PM PDT. You can watch on X or on YouTube where you can participate in the live chat.
Probably will on 2nd March. For now your info suggests I should get a "soft match" soon.
Keep looking at source I think you should either already have one or will get one there sooner than dates suggested.

Texts have only yielded useless responses...which is why I decided to attempt a call. Maybe I got lucky or maybe I got the best actress ever on the phone ...we will see! She really sounded sincere though =)

I look for source like 100 times a day!! haha.
you are likely in the exact same situation as i am
let me know how your call on the 2nd goes
What’s MSM?Man there is going to be a lot of MSM's on the road...they need to start charging $1500 for that color again.
You must have the same luck I had. The person I called the first time was able to tell me quite accurately when I would get my VIN and when the local SC would receive the car (and therefore when to expect delivery to be scheduled). I really do think that they know more than most will let on. Gotta keep the roller coaster EDDs going after all...
Midnight Silver Metallic the greatest Tesla color ever!!!

OK, so I called and got someone who had useful information. This confirms that I think once you approach your EDD window the Tesla SA/Call Center get additional information populated in their dashboards.
I called and they said my car is to be manufactured on the 3rd of March and should receive a VIN in and around then.

GRADATION DAY! Rocky start but all turned out well. Yesterday I get a text at 11:00 confirming my delivery today at 10:00. GREAT! Fast forward 3 hours the next text comes saying my car hasn’t arrived yet and will have to reschedule. NOT SO GREAT! At this point I have already made my flight and hotel reservations since I am 350 miles from the Dallas center. Texted SA and said that it was UNACCEPTABLE and they would need to accommodate my schedule. Agreed to a delayed delivery at 2:00 today. Evidently my car arrived just this morning and they put me at the front of the line. Ended up being ready at 11:00. WOO HOO! Moral of the story, I think they have a little more flexibility with deliveries than they let on.
Initial inspection was perfect. No flaws of any kind!
FYI….power trunk lid for those with doubts

I think this only confirms that you called after that information was available to them. This thread is chock full of people who called after entering their EDD window, often multiple times, and got nothing from texted and/or called-in questions.
There is a lot of confirmation bias from folks looking for patterns in this thread, too. So many posts of “my experience seemed to have pattern x, so pattern x must be the way” completely ignoring that before then, people thought it was “pattern a” through “pattern w” none of which matched each other, or “pattern x”. There may in fact be a pattern, but even the people tracking every post here in a spreadsheet are missing hundreds of data points every single day. They are making a thousand cars a day at Fremont, and this thread contains just a tiny potion of that.
There’s a lot of psychology and math being glossed over. Because we are excited and impatient, myself included.
The only pattern I am paying any attention to is how many people who ordered after me are getting a VIN or taking delivery, relative to ordered before me and are getting a VIN or taking delivery.
…and yes, I’m probably no fun at parties.

Hah! When I say approach an EDD window I mean within the "Delivery Quarter" as I went through the Tesla spreadsheet. I have no doubt that there is confirmation bias. But there is a point in time when they decide to manufacture your car and in all likelihood it's related to your EDD less a VIN falling through to you via a rejection.I think this only confirms that you called after that information was available to them. This thread is chock full of people who called after entering their EDD window, often multiple times, and got nothing from texted and/or called-in questions.

Since my order date....I've sarcastically been saying that I will have delivery/pickup scheduled on my husbands birthday 3/7.....now it seems that is very likely.
Like Kaytu said...finding patterns is fun and now my game is "guess the delivery date"
So just for fun...i'm putting a pretend wager that I will be getting my car March 7th....

Congrats! MSM Baby!
I didn't know power trunk was still a question. We got this on our first 3 that was delivered Sept 2021.

Yes, and I totally agree that we as human's look for patterns in everything. It's how we are hard wired to bias. FWIW, I think Tesla should indicate to callers that they can provide pre-VIN information when their car is scheduled to build.

Question keeps popping up on this thread. I don’t know why.
