I was told numerous times over the last few weeks that showing up with a cashier’s check is fine. It’s what I’m doing. Ignore the warning to complete payment to avoid delivery delay.

Thanks for the additional data point. Yeah I hate how the app just tries to scare you into finalizing everything immediately. I’d be fine with paying via bank transfer in the app, but I’m not handing over money until I confirm the car is up to my standards.
How long after the trade in text did you get the VIN? I just got the text today. Hoping the VIN will be assigned soon.
We received another VIN today, about 24 hours after declining delivery, with an updated EDD of June 2-6. So the SA was wrong - we definitely didn't go to the end of the line. New VIN 2617xx. 
OD: 2/26 | M3LR | MSM | Black | 18" | No FSD

I’ve seen it all across the board and I haven’t seen much of a correlation between the trade in text and the vin, but that being said, I got my vin 10 days after I got the trade in text. Some got it same day, some a few days after. Etc.

How does the license plate work at pick up when coming from out of state. I live in Florida and will be taking delivery in Georgia. Temporary plate?

Having now driven 300 miles (and yes I need to grab a computer and update the spreadsheet still). FSD is definitely worthless for a person who likes speed. Autopilot is limited to 80. Note you can push it to 90 if you stay with your foot on the accelerator but if not you are limited. In AZ where rural speeds are 75 and traveling to TX to visit family where speed limit is 80. Who goes 80? If I wanted that I would have gotten a Nissan Leaf. Lol.
Things I’ve learned in 300 miles:
The car is grand. 93 days was worth the wait. Just hold steady. Ride is good. Road sound is above avg with the 18s. I’ve had custom wheels on everything and sound was much worse. I tried to self wash my car today. Fail. I’ll be looking for a touch less. Bring your mats with you. I got the Sobervoy from Amazon when they were half off and love them. Even now at 259 for 6 is a good deal. My one silly purchase was the Carwiner Tesla puddle lights. They bring a smile to my face at night when I open the door. I got a couple different sets of console organizers. I don’t think you can go wrong with any of them.
I’m thinking mud flaps are a good have even if there is no snow or rain here. When washing today I saw the buildup of crud on the paint by the corners. Also need to select something for cup holder so things don’t flop around, however my 32 oz yeti fits perfect.
I’m 10 pages behind reading through notes still and the suspense is killing me - did he or didn’t TJ get a Vin yet. Lol
I’ve appreciated this blog and am thankful to you all. Wanted to do my part before I graduate out.
#blessed.
I had been following him on this too since it was the same paint but different wheels, thanks. It looks like Mike had a 227xxx VIN.
The VIN I have received is a 248xxx but I am still weary its a reject and will have to go over it with a fine tooth comb.
Thanks! Fingers crossed the VIN comes soon for me
...I just for the text today

Boy .... seeing the latest from Elon Musk on twitter makes me feel that deliveries might get shorter quickly. For him to get so political when he is leading a large EV company is turning into a disaster. Time will tell but I think alot of progressive people are going to cancel their orders.

How long, oh about a month, I don’t think it maters at all. I did get a great trade in for my Infiniti Q50. I think they are in demand in this area. I see quite a few of them. I am actually going to miss it, the best car I ever owned.
