I was not expecting the recent 2-week window, but once I got it and it's been taken away, it kind of messed with my head. Working my way back to my original expectation of late '22 - early'23. I'm fortunate to have a really great car today (2019 M3LR), but I am looking forward to the upgrade.

All Paint Protection and Tinting has been done. We elected to tint all of the glass surfaces and it really makes a HUGE difference. I totally recommend getting your glass overhead tinted as it really does cut down on the heat! My visit to the service center was to have the windshield wipers adjusted as they were hitting the frunk hood. Just barely but still hitting. I had called our service center earlier in the week and, at the time, these were going to be part of another service appt that isnt until August 30. No can do! I need windshield wipers! The service center folks are amazing. They said bring it in when they open and they will have a look at it. Well they sure did! I was out of there in minutes! That has to have been THE fastest service I have ever had! So far so good....cant say enough good things about our service center. I hope they keep doing great work!

Tesla’s latest supply chain problem
Expect delays on Tesla deliveries as China is experiencing major drought which has impacted hydroelectric power production there, forcing some manufacturers to close plants.
One of the suppliers with capacity in the region is the largest EV battery maker in the world -- Contemporary
Amperex Technology Co Ltd.
It's easy to see how battery supply and Chinese production can impact Tesla supply chain and production.

It'll affect Tesla's production globally (and specifically at their Shanghai facility), but for folks here there shouldn't be much to worry about. I know of no CATL components that go into the Long Range built at Fremont. Those vehicles use Panasonic 2170 cells from Nevada while CATL makes LFP prismatics for the Rear Wheel Drive. There may be other components or materials that originate in China, of course, and that could impact just about anything made in America.
For anyone interested, here's the Barron's article that I assume he's referencing.
Tesla Has Its Next Supply-Chain Problem: Drought
Edit: The small 12V battery used for the onboard electronics looks like it comes from CATL. That's the one that was changed from lead acid to lithium ion about a year ago. If Tesla is having problems with whole battery packs for the Rear Wheel Drive because of CATL interrupting LFP cell production then there should be plenty of 12V batteries coming available elsewhere.

Let’s talk car seats for a quick second. Are you planning on putting a protector underneath you car seat base?(Assuming you use a base) thoughts on this? Don’t want to mess up my new car with the base from the car seat.
That’s okay, never received a vin notification- I just saw it ! Maybe they knew I saw it so the system didn’t send one out?

I never received a VIN notification either, just looked in the app!
Yes. It is on the mvpa that is in your account …should be able to see it now. When you get the vin it will update even more, but even now you should be able see everything - taxes etc. just the vin will be there next to your rn order number

Negative LR is produced in Fremont, CA gigafactory. Only the SR is produced in the Shanghai gigafactory.
What I’ve done is use thick cardboard (usually just repurpose large boxes from home deliveries), and I cut one piece for under the car seat and one piece for the back of the car seat. This prevents creases in the seats/leather from the weight of the car seats/kids. Then I’ll put the protector between the cardboard and car seat to catch spills and crumbs and as added protection against creases. Been effective so far in every car I’ve done this in
Anecdotal: noticed an increase of cars in the outdoor delivery area of my local Tesla service center when I drive by. The amount of cars seem to increase every day. When the last quarter ended, the delivery area was a ghost town. Leads me to believe that Tesla is increasing production and deliveries every day.

Although my kids are all teens now and I didn't have a Tesla back then, a seat protector is essential! We always had one beneath whatever baby/child seat they were in at the time and when you take them out and see all the crud in them you'll be glad you used them.
