The Littleton SC sucked for customer experience. The Aurora one was definitely better for warranty and pickup.
Got a text alert for scheduling delivery! Scheduled for Sep 2 pickup!!!
It was asking to schedule delivery between Sep 2-4… Had to reshuffle labor day weekend plan sigh. Oh well!
For those curious and with new orders, my full order journey has been as follows:

DD: 09/02
Color: White/White

This is great news! Same config as mine. It's strange how it works for us in the PNW. We don't get those texts or updates...apparently the VINs are issued once the car arrives at the SC here so it happens fast. Ex. Your first EDD received on June 28 with the end of Aug - end of Sept is what my latest EDD is. I have a feeling there should be some movement this week.
Wishful thinking, but based on your Aug 18th test of the car leaving the factory, that could mean that mine has as well if our cars w/w config were in the same batch in production. I'd be really curious to compare our VINs and Production Dates later.
Thanks for sharing! Very informative.

New delivery window starts tomorrow, and I'm hoping for the best. In each of my last two delivery windows, the EDD got pushed back on the second day of the window. On the second pushback, it expanded from 2 weeks to 4. I hope it contracts back to 2 weeks, but who knows?

I’m interested in getting a set of tires and rims since getting a screw in my tire. Tesla wasn’t able to fix it as their tire machine was broken. Also the roadside coverage doesn’t guarantee they can fix your tire either. How did this combo look and handle on your car. Is there a better option out there?
My Delivery window started today and usually the second or third day is when it shifts and I’m hoping it doesn’t again. Hope we both get our VINs soon!
Thanks! I think things are more chaotic for you guys on the west coast. The two week gap from factory to arrival at delivery center for east coast means there is more ‘time’ for comms with Tesla SA.
Fyi, my VIN was 335x
I ordered on March 14th
Original EDD was June, now it says 25-30 September...but still have not received a VIN...
The EDD range was like 2 months, now it went to 5 days...
Shouldnt i get a VIN assigned already since shipping to EU from China takes 30 days?

Exciting day for mcap81 and dnstommy.
That's painful. I'm still sitting on my previous EDD of 8/22-9/26 from a month ago. I was hoping something would move today on the 1st day of the window.
I saw 2 car trailers full of M3s (mostly 18/19" wheels) I5 northbound yesterday. They are definitely moving something on the west coast. Just not our cars yet.

I know this latest date push I got may also signal that a 2 week delivery window is eminent.
But like Flatbroke and others, dates have changed many times and many have got to the point where they were questioning their decision to order. Most of those folks have since received cars. Some of us are still waiting and navigating around not having that extra car for several months. So naturally, over these now three months, I have second guessed going the Tesla/EV route.
For most, it's not about the gas savings unless you have a long daily commute (I do). And even then, the break even point for a different $40k car would still be 5+ years driving 150 miles per day.
Maybe it's about going green? Not the case for me.
Performance? How many times are you actually using the acceleration after you've done it a few times and showed your family/friends?
Even the aesthetic performance upgrades you pay for on the P model. Many are already replacing their 21" wheels and low profile tires to avoid damage.
So just curious. After all the waiting, second guessing, and evaluating. Especially for those where this is their first Tesla.
You've experienced the speed and what it's like to drive a dead silent EV.
You've been in the cabin long enough to get a sense of the current level of quality offered by Tesla and all of the car's idiosyncrasies.
Was it still worth it?

Delivery window moved up by a couple of days. Getting close!
I’m new to this thread and curious on what could be the cause of this? Did you change your build configuration, delay previous orders, change financing, etc?
Honestly no idea. I ordered end of July with it showing Sept-Oct delivery and the next day they shifter my to Dec-Feb delivery. About a week back I moved up to Oct-Nov.
