i once sent a message to my SA at 10:30pm, and he responded within 10 mins. I have also sent messages during the day, multiple times, and havent heard back ever. So its a hit and miss.
I also don’t like how they have Tesla marked all over the boxes they ship. If I didn’t work from home now I wouldn’t feel comfortable with the boxes they send sitting in my front porch.Received my wall charger today thinking I would need it soon. Silly me thinking the EDD dates are somewhat accurate.
Btw I hope my car doesn’t come in like the charger did, little banged up….

If your SA doesn’t know what the Matrix Lights are, they are also referred to as the “Global lights”! Excited for you congrats!!!!

mine has been swearing up and down that they are matrix. Have talked to 3 people and all said yes. Have gotten the part number looked up for my vin and they said yes. They even went as much as saying that they dont see description in the part number, but only the part number itself, but upon looking up the part number description it was matrix lights.
But I aint falling for any of that, until I have the vehicle infront of me.

I haven't purchased the wall charger but on 5 different boxes from Tesla, it's just a typical brown box with very small letters on the shipping label that says Tesla Parts or something to that effect. Couldn't tell it was a Tesla product unless you picked up the box and looked for it. Boxes were floor mats, trunk mats, 2 different adapter cables, and console trays.

Cool. Just taking a pulse for the variables. I am cash since day one but I did a paint color change about a month ago. Still no changes though. Good luck!
I looked up why they're called "global". It's because they're designed to be able to adapt to the headlamp requirements of various countries around the globe. That may have been obvious to others, but it was not to me.
I got matched on a Tuesday before my Sunday EDD start date, so it’s still possible.
Wasn't that after the price hike? Did you get charged extra or did you have the edit option?
Also 6 days away from start of EDD with no VIN

I had my SA do it. I only did it after confirming the only increase in price would be the cost of the paint.Wasn't that after the price hike? Did you get charged extra or did you have the edit option?

Awesome! I want to change my wheels to 19" but I'm too close to the EDD to risk it
So happy for you mate, have the same config but OD 2/16 and no vin and I live in CA. Hope you can share some lucky charms with me LOL.

Yeah I actually started wanting to change paint after remembering the upkeep in my previous black cars but yeah… too close now. Lol
Makes sense. What if the model’s output is an ordinal number? Say 12 days from now. How do you convert that to a range as Tesla provides to us? Running many optimizations under different assumptions?
I said the same thing. I had a $4k item delivered about six months ago and not only did it clearly show in pictures what was inside, but the FedEx guy also left it in the middle of the driveway. Amazon and other companies do it as well. The good news is if a company doesn't insist on you signing for it the claim will work out in your favor.

1) dont think Tesla uses a complex ML algorithm to make predictions as from what I have gathered, they use some variant of (your num minus current num) divide by daily production, type models.
2) If they were to use an ML model with an ordinal output, they can either sum all the days together and provide a range based on the 95% confidence intervals derived from standard errors, or run a bunch of simulations and provide a range based on the 95% confidence interval of the simulation outputs. Again, if it were me, I would not use an ML model for this problem. Maybe for some tiny component, but definitely not for the main part of the algorithm as the EDD is still largely dependent on how far back a person is in the queue divided by the daily production counts.

I can agree to some of the sentiment as the proportion of people who actually know how to use ML properly, out of the total who claim to know ML or are employed to do ML related work, is pretty low. With the whole 'data science' boom in the past few years, every random person who has ever used an ML package in R or Python, claims to be an expert in ML.
I have been working in the field for 12 years now, and still learn something new whenever I work with a new dataset, or am asked to solve a new problem.
