[Bogey Golf]

View attachment 805353
Finally going to sleep. Added a few things. BTW this car was almost perfect! A few smudges on the leather cleaned right off, you can tell they detailed the exterior and left some wax or whatever but will be doing a full clean and possibly ceramic coat. No ppf. Already coated the leather with GYEON leather ceramic. Will be sticking around for awhile, I aint got them social media's so ill be sticking with TMC and of course waiting to see yall receive your cars! Especially @T-J- !! Gnight!

The car looks beautiful. Red is growing on me.

80 was the lucky number!!!!!!!

Just logged into the app and there it was! That sweet sweet VIN. 257xxx. EDD 5 day window changed to May 31-June 3.

Congrats! With our order dates and configuration being so close it gives me hope. Just wondering why I still haven’t got a 14 day window yet

I take delivery in 3 days and I am still waiting on Tesla to update my trade in payoff amount. Been waiting for 6 days. I have reached out to Tesla multiple times but always get a it takes a few days response. Any have any experience with this?

 

[M3Kat]

Still at work but will definitely put up a picture or three when I can figure it out.

It was pretty bad.

This is why I "suggest" folks do NOT do ACH when taking delivery if possible. Yeah it costs a couple of bucks for a "cashiers check" from your bank but it gives you the ability to walk away for the cost of a couple of donuts .

There were other issues that I am not smart on but the glass for the top was very close to front/rear piece but had a 2mm or so larger gap. Several other things too but the major issue was the paint flaws. They were simply unacceptable.

The other thing to consider that I "paid for" is that Tesla requires proof of insurance. Depending on your insurance, you may get billed for a car you did not take. That cost us a few bucks. Kind of sucks.

Ill do my best to figure out posting photos videos here and if someone has a link to a tutorial on it I would be appreciative.

So again we wait. Not a big deal but it's adding up "pennies at a time".

How in the world did it even pass QC at Freemont? The SA as,well offering this to you like this? [I saw your pics on another post] I have the TESBROS checklist printed and ready when my car decides to roll into town. Sorry you are having to deal with this and getting the call and a VIN etc. Let's hope this VIN doesn't get passed around.

Same configuration – and in OC – ordered on 03/12. For some strange reason, refreshing the app 200 times a day hasn't helped produce a VIN.

Glad I’m. not the only one constantly looking. I have same EDD as you, I am hopeful we will be part of the Q2 push for deliveries, in which case, expecting some activity towards end of May..

 

[Jtownhawk]

I would still reach out to your SA if you haven't to see if everything looks good on their end. I wasn't offered anything other than Kansas City for my order despite being literally across the river from Council Bluffs.

It appears I was correct about Iowa being the issue. I switched to KC yesterday and this morning my EDD updated to a much more appropriate June 16 - July 14.

I had reached out to SA's via every medium possible - text, chat, phone, in person - and all told me no further action was necessary on my profile and that Aug - Oct was what they were seeing too.

I’m not sure how to I think I did

Ah you put the info in your status I see. To change your signature, you go to your account page and there should be a field for Signature on the left column.

Just dropped to the two week window, can’t wait.

 

[Hiline]

I wish we could just trade orders lol. I don't know how long the change would be, but my guess is it would be rather significant at this point based on demand.

I think you can actually. You just need to create an order with the same configuration and the other poster can ask an SA to transfer his order to yours, and then you guys go through the same process with his order.

Congrats if that holds then I have 12 days. My EDD is 6/7 to 6/14. So 12 days is probably right.

You're not alone. I have a widget on my Samsung and trust me, that gets pushed all the time. At least we're not in the dark not knowing the movement, EDDs etc like those not part of TMC.

 

[Mr. Nuke]

I got my first two week window this morning, now looking at 5/31-6/14

 

[Mwhusa]

Late April order here, excited to spend the long haul here with the rest of you.

At least you have the right attitude . Welcome and enjoy the stay!

 

[Mwhusa]

Tomorrow will be day 80. That sounds like a nice round number where a vin should be assigned. Just sayin…..

I’m with ya. Waiting has been such a pain. Still believe we’ll see a VIN by this weekend.

 

[Mwhusa]

My SA reached out and asked me to send my current cars insurance for their records.. Is this normal? I asked why they needed it and they sent back "PA allows us to release the vehicle if you have a valid insurance card, we like to have one on file so you and our team have one less item needed leading to delivery." I found this odd they need my current cars insurance?

I was told the same thing. They want to make sure your ‘insureable’ (is that a word?).

 

[Mwhusa]

how many cases is there with tesla service allowing you to ask for retrofitted matrix lights if you received a new vehicle with old lights ?

I read there is a wire harness difference so retrofitting may not be possible. Anyone else heard about the wiring?

 

[mhiller]

Well…day 16 of the daily EDD change. Now May 17-21. Vin was assigned almost 4 weeks ago. Has anyone actually come off of this hold yet and had this mysterious missing part installed?

OMG! I’m one day behind ya! Now you got me checking the app constantly!

 

[rushorderev]

Yay! VIN Day! OD: 3/3 256XXX 4 day window May 28 - May 31 got an email at 4:30am MST

Just got my pushback to May 17-21 as well. Been trying to stay positive, but the experience is really getting a bit frustrating. It's not clear why they would have shipped cars without parts, why cars with VINs that were built/assigned 1-2 weeks after mine are being delivered ahead (any parts that became available should have gone into the older batch of cars first) why there's no transparency or even consistent communication about the ongoing delays, or why they didn't more accurately calibrate the EDD once the part issue was identified.

I'm sure a lot of this frustration will vanish once I get the car, but that doesn't mean this is anything close to an acceptable situation in the "era of customer centricity."
