@pac_ I just started entering information in the Google Docs Sheet. Is it reasonable to assume I have a 'good' VehicleMapID (25004XXX) if it is the lowest number in the sheet for MSLR 19"? My EDD is fluctuating between 8/24-8/26 to 9/3 each day since 8/8. Trying to not get too hopeful. Thanks!

Interestingly, yesterday was the first time I received a date range (other than sometimes September) - today the range went one day earlier to December 19 - January 8 as well.
I think we know we can't rely on these ranges, and they're kind of far out as well - but if that range is shifting slightly but remaining somewhat consistent I'd put some credibility to it - seems like our white interiors may be part of a batch to be shipped East.
I was at a breakfast meeting today, and someone mentioned something I was unaware of - that there's something like 5 piers of cargo containers (about 160,000 cargo containers) stuck in China, and that there are ships lined up in the Pacific to unload in California but there aren't enough workers or truck drivers.
I don't know how accurate it is, but that could help explain or illustrate some of the supply chain issues.

Ha! I remember that day clearly! A nice, cold Indiana day in March when I had believed my car would be showing up in early April and wanted to make sure I was prepared. Here I sit 5 months later.... I was certainly not at risk of my car delivering before my charger was installed. Either way, the charger looks good even though it is yet to be used!
Glad I caught this! Yikes! So looks like they are finally rolling them out now. I hope they fixed em up!

Logistics has been like this since last summer. It has actually improved very slightly. Parts can sit at rail depots for weeks before being unloaded here domestically. Ships circle the harbors until they can be unloaded. Both foreign and domestic logistics is hit hard. But it is also raw materials are bottlenecked globally. Labor is in short supply - just look at every factory - they all have help wanted signs.

As someone who plans to garage this car and only drive it in nice weather, the early VIN concerns me. Why bother with a custom order if I am going to get a vehicle that has been sitting out in the elements for 5 months?
Now it's getting weird. EDD changed to February, BUT I was assigned a VIN and asked to pay my final amount. Who knows what's going on at this point.
Fair enough (yoke topic). I was basing my reply on so many reports that seem to indicate that with no change in steering ratio, the Pikes Peak run where the racing team went to the effort of removing the yoke and replacing with traditional wheel, and so many comments abound about lack of haptic feel on the steering wheel buttons, accidentally triggering windshield washers, horn etc when turning, and inability to quickly honk the horn via the airbag, and of course the numerous youtube reviews, was that the overall perception among most seems to be that the combo of yoke + no stalks, wasnt any form of upgrade over traditional wheel/stalks. But alas, I will admit, that you as a owner of a yoke with actual experience with it, , are in a better position to judge on that one than me.
Me: <checking EDD this morning, updating signature and tracking spreadsheet>
My wife: What are you doing in your office? You better not be working, we have to get ready for the beach!!
Me: Nope, just checking on my car
My wife: Stop obsessing about that car!!

Ok Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm turning to the smart folks in this group to see if I'm just seeing things, like a mirage in the desert for a dying man, or if this actually means I have a valid EDD. I was at work all last week and sometime yesterday while I was out of State I got the email below, then I checked my account and I see a 3-week EDD. No VIN however. Based off of those of y'all that have taken receipt of one of the holy grail of cars, would you recommend taking the ding on my credit score and getting my loan and other particulars in place? Or was this a blanket "community" email that many are seeing?
Any and all info is greatly appreciated.

Wohoo, just got my VIN and was asked to make payment before delivery.
Strangely my EDD just updated to February. If I hold off on payment, will my car still arrive at the SC? I don’t want to pay and then perhaps run into a delay

I've always (twice) paid my final amount via personal check at time of pickup/delivery at the SC. I've never paid all in advance..
I have a model 3 perf now so understand all that. I have the 50 amp plug already installed. Guess my question is “Is the wall charger for $500 any faster at charging than the supplied charger in the refreshed model S. I know at times my model 3 charges at 34 miles a hour on the factory supplied charger.
yes, much higher amp capacity ... probably charges 4-5x faster depending on how your electrician draws from the house panel.
Not to be weird, but what are the two digits after the 4? I think you guys are getting the cars that were sitting in the lot...
