Its generally recommended that no matter how you are paying, to keep your order set to paying for cash. Even if you plan on financing, you should keep it set to cash until you get a VIN, since its likely that your financing will run out at least once, leading to unnecessary hard pulls on your credit as you reapply. Keeping it set to cash may also slightly shorten your wait time, although thats more anecdotal.

I was going nuts checking nearly daily, and I'm pretty sure I didn't see it in the source code even the day before or the day of VIN assignment. But, hopefully that's not your experience!

Found a good rate and looks like people can join by joining a club.
0-36 months....as low as 1.59% A.P.R.
37-48 months....as low as 1.69% A.P.R.
49-60 months....as low as 1.79% A.P.R.
61-72 months....as low as 1.89% A.P.R.
73-84 months....as low as 3.49% A.P.R.
Only concern vs them and DCU are they seem very small. 9am-530pm Mon-Fri, 9am-1pm Saturday. Closed Sundays. Someone like DCU is open 24/7.

Only downside I see is, in case of failure to repay they will call the next business day rather than the middle of the night. Once you borrow the money, its their problem getting the funds back lol.
Same boat here. Plan on flying into JFK then taking the train to Grand Central and from Grand Central to Mt.Kisco. Will be happy to have the car but not looking forward to the drive home.

Yeah, but if you FTP than you have another set of issues. Customer service would be my only concern. Most Credit Unions will have crappy UI. DCU probably the best balance if their rates don't rise too much with the Fed.
If you take Amtrak you could get off at Croton Harmon and take uber to Mount Kisco from there. Would probably shave 2 hours compared to going into Manhattan
I created an account a few days ago to try to add to the discussion here but lighting struck for me today. Original OD:4/28/2022 with EDD: July 30 - September 10. However, the local SA called me today to let me know that someone is likely going to cancel if I want it and I said yes with a delivery date for tomorrow. Apparently, there is someone in my area (Bakersfield) that placed an order but has declined the delivery multiple times in the past and his order is the same specifications as mine. Literally got my financing together, sold my car, and transferred over my insurance all in one day.
They also spotted a scratch on the wheel so they're overnighting another one from LA for pick up tomorrow. Definitely, the stars aligning for me today. I'll be hoping to share a little bit of luck for everyone here!

I refreshed/logged back into the page like I did every morning, only to find a notification to accept the Vision Agreement, then boom the VIN appeared.

I went ahead and searched about 30 credit unions that anyone can join. The lowest I found were at most 1.99 APR for 60-ish month terms. There were a couple that were lower, but they are Austin based. (These are rates as of 5/4/2022). Who knows if they will change tomorrow.
I will most likely stick with DCU unless I'm compelled to go to GEFCU or if DCU raises their rates quite a bit and the others don't. It wasn't easy to find credit unions under 2%. The majority were not. IMHO, this confirms that anything around 2% is a very good rate contrary to what the other poster said.

I went down this list and stopped at Andrews Federal Credit Union.
I think your car is one of those missing the charging port. It should already sitting at your SC waiting for the part.

I see we got our vins the same day. My od was 2/7 and my vin is 235***. When I first asked about it he told me the matrix headlights don't come on the 3/Y, just the S/X. Once I called bs he switched it up and said mine has it... needless to say I don't have faith and after what was told to you I'm really not confident now.
called Tesla multiple times, they said your car is in transit, and they also have no idea about it in-depth.
They're full of it...they know exactly what's going on. They just try and be secretive for whatever reason.
Hi Vancouver friend, it's in Richmond.
Yes, it's strange and there's nothing but waiting that I can do
I still don’t have the vin showing up in the app or on the web page. Tho I switched my payment method from finance to cash yesterday and today got the “ready for final payment” email today and found the purchase agreement in my account. Someone else I know also picking up in Vancouver and got vin and same edd movement with me on the same day didn’t get anything nor did their vin show up
I cannot believe I am not the only victim. did you call them? any information?
