I purchase from Costa Mesa, Ca on 10/22......hope I am next to get call.....MS White / white, FSD, 19"
Ordered 10/31 - 2020 MS LR, MSM, white interior, 19", FSD
1st delivery scheduled 11/21 - cancelled 11/19 as car was re-purposed as a loaner (they can do that?)
2nd delivery scheduled 12/12 - cancelled 12/5 as car did not pass inspection. Has paint correction issues they tried to fix before transport. Car now going to body shop for repair.
Frustrating to say the least. Hopefully I take delivery before end of year. Anyone hear anything on $1,875 guarantees if the delay is on Tesla?

Say you’re in California and placed a new custom order a month ago with no VIN yet. Then you find the exact configuration you ordered in New York in inventory on Tesla.com that just suddenly appeared. Could or would they ship that vehicle to you or only upon ordering it specifically? Would that car just be sent there for a future sale or rejected by another customer? Just trying to understand. Is it best to wait for factory order or try and get Tesla to ship it from NY at no additional cost?
In my (very) humble opinion they wouldn’t ship it back to California since it would be very easy to find a buyer in the NY area. My 10/17 order still doesn’t show a VIN, but I have a delivery appointment form12/17. I’m confident the factory is building the West Coast cars now and we’ll take possession before year end. Having purchased a Tesla in the past it doesn’t surprise me that the Owner site isn’t getting updated with VINs.
Update; I just noticed the timeline for taking delivery of a new Model S is 2-3 weeks on the website. I really think Elon is committed to delivering 100,000 plus units this quarter. But brace yourselves, delivery day will be chaotic.

There’s a limit on how far they will ship a new car. It’s something like 400 or 500 miles. After that they will charge $2000 to ship. That’s what I was told anyway.

Thanks guys, good info and it makes a lot of sense. I also noticed there were quite a few MS and MX in Florida inventory (tried zip 32824) so they must be heading toward west coast production very soon. With 2-3 weeks quoted now, we should probably see VINs in the next week or so.

Ordered 10/23, picked up today. Performance model, red with black cf interior. No drama delivery. Car exceeds all my expectations.

21” wheels. Michelin pilot super sports
Interesting - I got the same wheels but mine came with ContisportContact 5Ps on them
Same wheels here in NY and picked it up yesterday, but mine came with Goodyear's
So my delivery center in Palm Springs (Cathedral City) called and told me my delivery date has been pushed back from the 17th to the 27th. Still waiting for a VIN assignment. They have been told to expect a big delivery of cars next week, so there’s still the chance I’ll take delivery earlier. As I said before, it’s going to been a madhouse there with 200 deliveries for the last 2 weeks of 2019.
Looked through my order page, and I have a VIN. Ordered 11/27, confirmed 11/27:
