Yes. OD 3/14, JUNE text, VIN assigned today - 296xxx, after 99 days.
Congrats on the new car!!
Curious what your SOC was at pickup. I’m getting mine this Sunday at Mt Kisco and was hoping to have them charge the car to at least 80% before my 6+ hour drive back to Buffalo.
We watched them bring several cars around from behind the SC in Charlotte and they were all filthy. It looked as if they had been sitting under a tree. Not a good look.Passed by these eight beautiful newborns on my way home from work today. They were headed to the KC sales/service center and look like they really need a bath before meeting their new parents.

You just tell them you don’t want it via text phone email or in person. But they may or may not give you pushback, and if you do it multiple times they may cancel your order and eat your $250 order fee.
I've noticed a lot of people picking up with their car M3 at 90%. That's where mine was when I picked it up on Sunday.
Bay Area here. Nothing.
OD: 3/19. Day 94. Not even a JUNE text.
Current EDD: 7/8 to 8/12
I graduated today. A day early! I texted my SA this am and said if by any chance the car is ready today I can pick it up (my scheduled pickup was Wed. at 3pm). Sure enough, there was a 3pm opening and I grabbed it.
VIN#293xxx Matrix (shocked really) Charging cable. Full charge and nicely detailed. Best of all, the car is immaculate. I am super picky. So picky that I honestly held off buying a Tesla for years because I've seen in person the build issues and even the smallest issues would drive me nuts (I'm a freak). Panel gaps look fine, no scratches, interior is perfect. I drove from the Tesla lot directly to a detailer I know to have him look over the car. He could find nothing and was impressed with the build quality. So as everyone has said, as painful as the journey can be, the car is worth the wait.
EDIT: I did not get Michelins. I got Hankook Kinergy GTs. I don't know if they are any good or not!
Here are some photos of 'SOLARIS'.

So Cal Here. I just received VIN today (Day 96).
Yesterday I got a call from Tesla asking about a trade-in quote. I woke up today with no change in EDD. At 3:52, I had a missed call while at work. A few minutes later I get a text stating congrats, I have been assigned VIN 295 and to check the app and complete the trade in tasks. YAY!!! 
My new EDD is June 24 - July 1. I am actually suprised, Tesla's quote was only a couple hundred dollars lower than Carmax or Caravana. I accepted their quote, as it will be much easier to trade it with them and have a car to drive until delivery day.
It seems so surreal. I can't wait for delivery day. I paid $51 at Costco today, to fill up my car that was half full.
Can't wait until I never have to wait in line at Costco for gas again. FYI, for those waiting for your VIN, make sure you know where your pink slip is if you are trading in a car. I moved recently and had a mini panic attack because my pink slip was not with my other important paperwork. Luckily, I found it and the spare key fob.

For you new owners, make sure (if you have pets) to check out dog mode. It's a very underrated feature of these cars that and ICE car cannot do. It's almost 100 degrees here in Chicago and turning on dog mode, I can keep my cabin at 67 degrees while I run into the store.
Very overlooked great feature.

Well his vin is an odd number and he got matrix so that theory is out the window
"One of these, the American Automobile Labeling Act (AALA), requires carmakers to report for each vehicle model sold in the U.S. the percentage of the U.S./Canadian parts content, the country of final assembly of the vehicle, the country of origin of its engine and transmission, and any country that accounts for more than 15% of the vehicle model’s parts content. The data are collected by the National Highway and Traffic Safety Agency (NHTSA) and reported annually on their website. The AALA has been in effect since 1997."According to this source, 65% of a Tesla is made in the U.S./Canada. Not sure why they combine U.S. and Canada.

I also found a mention that a car with at least 62,5% of its parts sourced in North America avoids NAFTA import duties.
In double-checking my 80% number, it looks like that was an older figure. Perhaps Tesla has gotten more capable in negotiating contracts with foreign suppliers.
