Why not?
It only counts if it's delivered according to the IRS. Getting a VIN and paying does not equal delivered. It has to be on the truck (assuming FOB).

:redface: Yeah, I should have paid more attention. For some reason I thought he said he received the car with that VIN, my bad.
Lucky you, Just 6 days from payment to delivery... and you get a video. they verified my payment on Dec 18th and my car won't be leaving Oakland until at least Jan 3. then another week to get to me. No video to watch while I am waiting. (and your VIN is over 1000 higher than mine.)
Exactly how does the IRS determine whether the vehicle was on the truck or not?

Taxpayer: it was on the truck. -7500, please.
IRS: prove it!
Taxpayer: Tesla!
Tesla: hang on, ... , here's the proof
Taxpayer: see!
IRS: oh, alright then.
The IRS doesn't have to determine anything.
Hfh, make sure that your car hasn't already been finished. A quick call to Tesla let me know that my VIN 3094 was already built and sent to a Tesla delivery Hub. They were just waiting for my final payment to have it ship from the HUB. Once that payment came in yesterday afternoon and paid for the car this morning- they noted that they can now delivery it. He told me to expect the car later this week or early next week. Therefore, technically, its on a truck I guess.
My car finally arrived! I feel relieved, excited, and a bit numb.
Just got an email (well, 2 days ago but didn't see it), that my Model S was nearly done in production and will be ready for delivery as soon as tomorrow. Currently out of town but am considering flying to Fremont to pick it up this upcoming week and to drive it home, rather than wait for shipping. I am #9935 and wasn't expecting delivery until February or March. What a pleasant surprise! :smile:
Did you ever get the email asking if you wanted your car by December?
The tax credit is based on when car is "placed into service" so that's when you receive it, not when Tesla ships it. That being said the final MVPA would have the shipping date on it and that's what my accountant wanted to see as proof for the credit but YMMV.Taxpayer: it was on the truck. -7500, please.

Thanks for noticing @David-El. Checking the forums for what seems like every five minutes for the past five months paid off!
I just checked My Dashboard over at Tesla Motors and have the Delivery button. I have a date range of January 15-29. Yahoo!
