I think the have no clue. They just guess, a few days to a few weeks. One poster picked his up in Fremont and it was a 75 by the time he drove home.

That's good news. Just Emailed my DS, have not heard back, but I went on production on 6/6, it would make sense if my car comes around that timeframe. At least you have some numbers, so that's a ballpark, I think it's a bit big... if the cars are shipped by truck, they should be here faster than end of June....

Now that's what I'm talking about. Tremendous and you appreciate it and it increases your satisfaction. Everybody wins.
In my case, insurance was only required on the date of delivery and taking possession, not before. My insurance on the car won't start until Friday, when I take possession. I spoke to my insurance company on this matter, and this all seemed completely expected and normal.

For what it is worth (if at all), I have a VIN very close to you with same delivery date (Tysons Corner, VA) and my DS emailed me yesterday and advised the car will arrive at the SC late during the week of June 12th and I chose to take delivery on the 21st. Could have taken it on the 17th, but I am out of town.
I can almost guess who this DS is. But outside of that ... you are within your rights to speak or ask for another DS. That's what the loan agents do when it comes down to crunch time. If one is unresponsive (and they know who those folks are), then well is that going to stop your deal? I don't think it's that uncommon or unexpected to just call the service center and say ... "I can't get a hold of xyz ... please direct me to someone who can assist me."I'm still patiently waiting (somewhat patiently waiting). Car went into production on 5/20 and still no word. DS hasn't returned my email. He said he was going to call me either Friday of last week or Monday of this week. He's MIA.
If someone gets offended ... that's on them ... be more transparent with what is going on. Don't leave customers guessing.

But, isn't Colorado a direct sale state? Texas (likely because of Big Oil) is not a direct sale state . . . which makes things different.
One thing I wish I had done differently ... for the benefit of others here ... is get on top of the "paint protection" options earlier on. It just didn't really cross my mind. And there are a TON of options to consider!
And it makes all the sense in the world to maybe at least consider additional protection for a $100k car. My mind wasn't there ... more like, "Hey, it's new, it'll look new." Yeah duh ... but it comes down to maintenance of that look ... what is it worth?
So I'll take delivery, have the car for a few days, even before I can sit down in person with the detailers to discuss pricing and options. And this is definitely something I want to discuss face-to-face, maybe see some of the work, and definitely lay out options in terms of price and protection goals.
It doesn't hurt anyone to have this discussion with the detailer(s) anytime before taking delivery. Then like many smart folks have done, just drive the car over to the shop and get it knocked out.
This is one piece of advice I'd give others based on my experience so far here with the delivery process.

Interesting and NO, I don't know the rules in other states. So it's entirely possible that Texas has different rules for delivery.
And a quick search confirms you sir are correct ... Colorado is a direct sale state and Texas is not. Maybe this link will help others, if needed:
Where Can Tesla Legally Sell Cars Directly To You? State-By-State Map: LATEST UPDATE
You know ... it's actually a little funny in Colorado, it's direct sale, but Tesla can only have ONE showroom in the entire state, and can't (for now) open additional ones. The auto dealer lobby flexing here, no doubt.
it's official!! I will have 3 sleepless nights from tonight! will be picking up my MS 70D this Saturday at 11am.

I went last weekend to talk to someone (since I had the feeling production was about to begin). I then thought about the parts of my previous cars where I've had bumps and scrapes. Granted, I'll have a back up camera now, and the side warnings but I thought I should protect those parts of my car where I'm not so careful. And then I thought about my wheels too! Especially since I've seen fb posts from people who are scuffing their wheels.
I think I'm getting modesta put on my wheels (I looked into the cost of doing it myself and decided it's not worth it). Doing a full wrap and window tint (it's hot here in Texas and everything is bigger
so we need to extend range any way we can).Finally mine is in transit
