Model 3 Performance/Ludicrous Waiting Room

If he's trolling (which seems likely if you read the tone of the posts), why would you trust what he's saying about that trick? I personally think that once they assign a VIN, the vehicle is on the way or committed to the delivery center they've chosen. Tesla isn't gonna put that vehicle back on a hauler and move it elsewhere.
There's a lot that doesn't add-up from that guy's posts. Buyer beware.

I’m a firmware dev. There is almost nothing trivial in firmware, especially when it comes to critical car firmware.
I don’t know what to make of these pictures but it certainly confirms why these cars are not ready to be delivered to customers.
I wonder which version that one delivery that happened is on and how the car is behaving it..
the delivery date on the first page of the app is now blank. i sense an 11th hr delay looming. i hope i'm wrong though.
I sat in a showroom M3P that did not have any error messages. And we’ve seen at least a few social media reviews of the car without any issues. So my guess is they updated the firmware after the EPA estimate and caused something to break.
Does it still show when you go into the appointment details tab? Mine has been hit or miss for days with showing or not showing the delivery time on the main page.
It’s been on the “complete tasks” wording even though they are all checked off for me.
The show room car didn’t have errors visible. The picture was from my car. But it was also in service mode as you can se. whereas the showroom model was not in service mode. So it could’ve been there under the covers just not obvious.
Got my VIN a couple days ago, tried to go get insurance on it, was told by my insurer the car 'did not exist in the database' as of yet. They are going to 'call me back' - but in the meantime, my delivery is waiting for the insurance company to find the VIN. Anyone else experienced this? I was under the impression that once a VIN is generated the coding of that VIN should allow it to be searched, etc.
So pumped for you! I'm in Denver too. Ordered 43 minutes after launch. Was hoping for a VIN today but got pushed to July - August instead! I hope you get your car soon!!
As an FYI, dependent on your state law, your current insurance will apply to a new car purchase for say 30-60 days before you must add it to your policy. So if you get a VIN and can't add it to your policy, uploading your current full coverage insurance will satisfy Tesla's proof of insurance requirement.
Your appointment is in an hour and a half right? Are you still scheduled/have they reached out?
Received "how to prepare for pickup" email this morning for my appointment tomorrow. Is that standard or will they only send that email if the car is actually ready? Also, this is my first Tesla and I am starting to wonder if there are things I am supposed to be looking for in the screen menus that will flag something that is not ready yet. Any resources anyone can point me to for the deeper level issues that might not be readily apparent to a newbie?
Ya, I did this - the delivery advisor still said they want it ON the policy before it's delivered. Just hope it does not hold things up. TX laws have changed WRT Tesla since I bought my last one, so I just dont know what the deal is anymore.
Yeah, the timing for VIN updates varies between the insurers. When I was getting quotes, State Farm and Progressive couldn't find my VIN but everyone else could. YMMV.
You can upload your existing insurance card without the Tesla on it in the app and that'll check off that step.
I just got this text. Delivery still scheduled for tomorrow morning, but this is not encouraging
I just got word that the software is not available for the model 3 performance yet. If it is not ready tomorrow, we will need to push out your appointment.
Thank you
