Just stopped by my Tesla sales/service center in Paramus, NJ hoping to get more detailed info on my order with next week's EDD. zero help. just cookie cutter answers and didn't even want to lookup my order. just check your app for updates.
Here's hoping for a deluge heading into next week or the second half of the month.

I have your car. Send me 2 bitcoins and I’ll return it haha. I doubt it’s anything more than the dates doing what they do.
Also was this the inspiration for your name
Haha thanks, I actually feel worse for the folks who ordered a week or more before me that still haven’t gotten VINs. My order date is 5/4 so I wasn’t that early.
Our proximity to Fremont means Bay Area folks are essentially “on-call” until we get our VINs and deliveries. Everyone else is allocated to a shipment which is tracked and planned with more thorough logistics since there are trucks and trains involved. Ours are basically an extra batch.
I think I got screwed because of my color choice. I probably would have gotten it sooner if I had locked in the price for red/black or settled for sg/white. Black/black just seems to be in shorter supply, even though it’s the most common color combo I have seen for MY and MS demo cars.
I'm on the other coast (Tampa side). It sounds like you are getting close. My EDD got pushed by one day every day for a week. I was a little worried but I think what is happening is that your car probably arrived at your SC and they haven't had time to inspect it yet. Some SCs are busy with Model Y deliveries and such and your car may sit a few days. If you check the "Registration" tab in the Tesla app and scroll down, is your SC listed under delivery location? If so, I believe that means the car is at your local SC. Once they do the inspection (and probably install firmware, etc.) you'll get a text saying "Your Model 3 is on site".
Got my delivery scheduled for 6/10 in Devon PA. Would have preferred today or tomorrow but those were greyed out and got only Monday as an option -_-. SG/white ordered on release date.
Not for nothing but Tesla is really pissing me off with how they are assigning VINs and what not. Don’t get me wrong I’m happy for the people that have received their VINs and taken delivery but what is the point of ordering in the first day or two if they aren’t going down the list in order or when you submitted it? Some of us ordered the first or second day and still have yet to have a VIN assigned. I’d love to see the logic that went into the VIN Allocation/Assignment process.
Just needed to vent about that. Feel much better now. I’m coming from a Mustang Mach E and everyone that I know that has a Tesla is like you won’t regret switching……

I understand your frustration, but a lot of this comes down to the logistics of delivering cars. If person X from Missouri is one of the first orders on release day, Tesla will find other orders from Missouri to ship with X’s. Some of those other orders may be from far down the chronological order list, but it makes no sense to ship cars individually solely to appease early orderers.

I have My Q and I loved it. I pull in my driveway and the door opens without any interaction from me. I leave the driveway and the reverse happens.

I drive by the new Warminster SC but they do not have their delivery license yet (thanks PA) so I'll have to hoof it to Devon when mine comes in.
Well I took a few hours this morning to fix the frunk gaps, eliminate the dash rattle, and then put on a coat of Collinite 845,
The front passenger edge of the frunk was almost touching (near zero gap) when I took delivery:
After diddling the bolts and adjusting, it's fixed:
The dash rattle ended up being the piece just above the LED strip on top of the dash. This shows a tiny piece of foam that I gently pushed just above the LED strip (between the LED strip and top cover): I took the pic before I tucked it in completely with my pry tool so you can see where the foam is. Test drive proves the rattle is gone. Foam is not visible at all once I tucked it all the way in with my pry tool.
I even found that if I popped the removable screen out of my old Model 3 front grill screen, the screen fits well enough to protect the radiator from bugs and leaves until someone releases one designed for the MP3. Not the prettiest thing in the world but it's hard to see down there in the shadows anyway and it'll keep me clean until I get an official one (can't find any right now). It's just double stick tape on the ends and a zip tie in the middle so I can easily remove it when I get a good one.
When waxing, I did find three tiny paint imperfections, all on the passenger side. The most noticeable one is a white fleck under the clear coat on the rear passenger door. It's so tiny it doesn't stick out (about the size of a pin prick). The biggest one looks like a rock chip maybe the size of a pencil eraser on tthe lower kick panel. Both need a tiny touchup so I'm going to get some touchup paint.

I'm picking it up tomorrow! My scheduled didn't allow me to get it yesterday or today, unfortunately.where are the pics? Common man!
Homelink in the Tesla does that too.
