I just deleted a response to your earlier post that I was in the process of typing. Congrats, if you have a VIN you are good. Hopefully ours are on the same train/truck.

I messaged mine in response to the generic message and they said 2 weeks on average from Fremont to Kansas City which seems a bit excessive to me. I've started moving money around today and getting insurance in line in cases I get a "surprise" delivery window next week.
We've had a few Jersey users say it was exactly two weeks for them so I would think yours would be a little faster than that. My car will go by rail to Birmingham and that's only seven hours from my delivery center so I can't see it being too much longer for me.
I asked a friend about that he said it's very hard to get 18" that fit over those brake calibers so they are very $$$$ and then you lose the acceleration of the performance lol
I got the same toy installed today!!!Well I don't have a shiny new car yet to show off pictures of but I did get this beautiful piece of hardware installed in my garage while I wait. $400 for the Wall Connector and $1350 for installation including all parts #6 wire, EMT, and 60A breaker. This thing really is on par with Apple products as far as the sleek industrial design goes which I love. I feel like a need a screen protector to put over the glass it's so nice and yes it is real glass! Way too nice for my filthy garage. I put the J1772, that I mistakenly bought before I knew my car will come with one, on the side just because I had nowhere else to put it. I'm all set and this wait is killing me!!

Congrats T-J!!! This is the actual day I picked mine up. And I just saw this today, to be honest checked back in just to see the status of yours LOL. And it is the day you are picking up. I am a bit OCD, so reading through the entire thread so will see how the delivery goes in a bit. CONGRATS again. I am sure you will love it as much as we love our (2nd one). There are a few differences between the 2021 that my husband has and my 2022...But regardless they are awesome!
You can opt to pay for it yearly vs monthly and if you do yearly it saves you about 2 months...it is $99 for a year, that is the option I went with. Just having the traffic and streaming for my podcast's and music is worth it for me.
That is kind of what I'm banking on with getting the finances in order now. Based on this thread we think Tesla will deliver by rail to Birmingham or Chicago, but either mailine rail provider from California (BNSF or UP) also serves KC directly. Additionally KC also has automotive specific rail service due to a Ford plant there; but even if it ends up in Chicago that isn't that far of a truck drive to Kansas City.

Hello my fellow M3LR people. EDD got bumped from 06/06-07/04 to 06/30-07/28 for my M3LR MSM, Black, 18", No FSD with OD of 03/12. I am in the Bay Area, any hope I get it before the end of the quarter? Would upgrading tires or interior be likely to bump up my time so I don't miss the end of quarter push?
Will update signature when I get enough comments in here!

So much for vision only full autonomy
and maybe they'll be adding higher resolution cameras, in stereo (to enable direct distance through parallax), and all around the car, like all the other ADAS systems and experts said.
Welcome to the thread! You set a good example for new members lol.
Regarding the upgrades, it doesn't hurt to try. You can change the configuration, wait a couple of days to see if your EDD moves, then decide to keep the new configuration or revert back. You won't lose your place in line.

Does everyone get a text for leaving Fremont or just orders that have a long way to travel? Perhaps my revised question is do California orders get the text?
I did not get a text saying where it was. Maybe it's only for cars leaving by train?

After weeks of paranoia I’m riding that paranoid train right into the last station… thanks lol.
Being on the west coast means you definitely have a chance of sliding in for his quarter. Personally, I wouldn't change anything because your car could go into production at any time and making a change may cause some type of delay. That's nothing more than my paranoia talking but I think you're close enough to ride it out.
It's funny you mention paranoia in your posts because I did as well and was writing it at the same time.
Aye aye aye aye…I’m going off the rails on a crazy train…

I dont think you lose the acceleration by changing the tires, the 3.1 0-60 comes from software differences. To the best of my knowledge changing the tires/rims doesn't decrease that. Am I wrong?
Congrats, looks GREAT. Glad it all went off with no issues. Enjoy the ride!
It will absolutely effect the performance of the car and if the wheels are not performance rated which they can't be for winter reasons you will see a difference in handling range and potentially speed/acceleration
You may be able to still get the same acceleration but the wheels will likely degrade very fast as well
