You should really just wait it out. You are likely any day now. Even then, you can find a nice performance model on available inventory within 200 miles of you im guessing

Well I’ll be damned! Good way to start off the week. I switched from Blue/Black to White/Black 1 week ago and just got my VIN.

No I have not sat in one... did have a 18' 3 and I thought the seats are good. my local SC has had 3-4 performance come in but they are customer cars... the third and forth advantage to the LR is range and all season tires.

With V12 you can no longer have FSD enabled and break out of it while keeping TACC engaged. When turning the wheel it disables all of FSD. You would have to set a profile for just Autosteer to keep the old behavior.
I think they changed it because NHTSA was concerned that users were not appropriately notified that they were no longer using FSD and had to take over. I think it is dumb and would like the old system back, but it is what it is.
I wonder if printing the docs and having her sign them and bring with, just in case, might help my cause. Seems like it’s 50/50 if this is gonna work solo tomorrow.
That's an FSD 12 issue. There is no TACC option anymore with FSD mode. It sucks, but that's the way it is with FSD on the latest version on any vehicle for the moment atleast.

I appreciate the encouragement ... but on the flip side the any day now can also be a few month away. frustrating with ordering 4/23 and have been seeing many 3 performance coming through tulsa SC.. and with Oklahoma, must make final payment before in can be delivered so those people got VINs week before
Just fyi - when I went in to pick up I brought my DL because they said that’s what they need for all registered owners. However, since I test drove a car about a month before, they already had a photo of my DL in the Tesla system, which they had printed out and in my paperwork folder. So they didn’t even ask to see my DL. Anyway you can have her swing by a dealership and quickly test drive any old Tesla today? That might solve the problem if you also have everything pre-signed.
Oh no, dude, that sucks. I thought for sure you had yours by now. Sorry, dude. Hang in there. It's worth it.
True, but it's the cost of the all-season (and smaller rims) that is the advantage. The capability is still there. It wouldn't surprise me at all if you can get the same range out of the P with equivalent tires and wheels while not in insane mode.
Anyway, I don't think it's a fully informed decision until your ass is in that seat for a couple minutes.
I was on FSD 12.3.6 for a while on my 2021 and I'm pretty sure wrenching on the steering wheel only disengaged steering while keeping cruise control on. I did it a number of times because 12.3.6 tends to signal, start to change lanes, go back in the original lane, and then complete the lane change after that initial hesitation. That can be dangerous when it does that getting into, for example, a left turn lane so I would take over the steering to complete the lane change the first time rather than having 12.3.6 confuse everyone behind me by making it look like I changed my mind on the lane change.
That lane change hesitation (sort of a double take) and the tendency for 12.3.6 to ride the white line (and rumble strips) on the right side of lanes are my only complaints about that version.
I bought FSD outright on my 23 MYP. I use it all the time for the last 8 months with thousands of miles driven with it. I guarantee you it starts slowing down as soon as you disengage. It's in the release notes for FSD 12 and it is one of the most annoying things about FSD 12. (That and it's complete inability to actually follow the speed you set.)
It might be possible it still goes to TACC on the highway as that's still the FSD 11 stack on limited access highways, but I haven't tested that directly. (I just use the turn signals to deal with lane change uncertainty on the highway.)
That’s good news, we both test drove in late April and they have both our licenses (& on the app as well).
Maybe it’s by state? I’ve talked to a few folks at my delivery location that had it work. I’ll swing by my local place today and see if they can offer any guidance.
If it means anything I was also a 4/23 order and my EDD used to be July 28 - Sept 1 as well. But I received my VIN about a week ago and am expecting delivery in a week. So I wouldn't put too much weight on the EDD but at the same time it's still possible that you will be waiting for weeks.
WOW... Just got my VIN!!! EDD was July 20th to August 18th. OD 4/25 SG/WH in Kentucky. Can't wait for delivery..
I am really curious to see what Tesla’s production and sales numbers are for this quarter. Everything I have seen is indicating that this is by far the best quarter they have ever had. Anyone see anything different?
That definitely works for me! Not in a rush and would like to stay away from end of quarter models rushing out of production lines.
