    Do we know there is ANY capacity right now? We haven't seen anything out of Fremont outside of some test mules and discarded castings.

    I think the lack of any VIN assignments is a KPI here. Those are usually assigned just before a car is entering production.

    With all of the people here, and lurking here, that have outstanding reservations - nobody has chimed in with "I have a VIN #XXXY " .

    Nobody.

    This is really strong evidence that there is not any functional level of production going on. Since it will take 10 - 15 days to get a car moved to the midwest, south, or east coast, they only have until around March 16 to produce cars for that market, then flex to the west coast orders that can be delivered quickly.

    Since Tesla always games the delivery / production around maximizing quarterly deliveries, if you don't live on the west coast, and don't have a VIN in the next 12 days or so, it's likely you won't get delivery until April.

    I expect better communication too. My SA takes like 1-2 weeks to reply to text/email and I have to actively call them to get something done. At least you were able to get financing, financing wasn't even an option for me. I already like buying detailing stuff and wraps for my car cause I'm so impatient.

    Has anyone here that reserved a plaid (now “+”) Model S on day it was announced (battery day) been successful in modifying it to a plaid or long range while maintaining their place in line and retaining the legacy FSD price (8k vs 10k)?

    Uhm, my account now shows a picture of a blue Model 3 for my order page. I've reloaded the page and logged out multiple times and it still shows this. At this point, I'm almost happy something, anything changed. Note: Ive never owned nor purchased a blue model 3:

    Don’t ever give your financial information to Tesla on an order until you have a firm delivery date expectation. Otherwise you’ll have your credit checked numerous times before delivery.

    For most that is not a good idea!!

    Now I can't get the page to load at all. Some times it is completely blank, some times it redirects to the home page of tesla.com. Maybe something, ANYTHING is happening.

    Mine's back to showing my White MS, but the page looks different than it did before (the information on the left side is missing). Still says "March" for delivery window.

    Are you sure you were not talking to your SA?

    This is my thought. I didn't want to post this until others saw the same thing, but I believe I experienced this right before I got my M3 VIN a year ago...but who knows.

    We just need an admin who we can send $20 USD to and they can post the list players on a new thread... I'm ready but we need a cut-off date to get your money in. Hey, I'm from Canada so I think I am at a disadvantage but regardless, I'm in.

    Something is happening, will cross my fingers.

    I either get the Blue Model 3, or a black error page, or a redirect to the main Tesla.com page.
