Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[rustybh1]

Thanks, does that mean you have a delivery date?

Nope, still waiting. Have yet to sign anything on the finance side to date, but all the details appear on my order webpage.

Hello! I apologize in advance if this has been discussed before, but this thread is way too long for me to go through. New user here, and soon-to-be first time Tesla owner.

I ordered my Model S today. I entered the info for Delivery Location and Registration.
However, I have not yet entered anything for Trade-In and Payment Method. (Image attached for reference)

I plan to apply for a Tesla Loan and I will be trading in my current car, however, as far as I know (correct me if I'm wrong), loan applications and trade-in quotes are only valid for 30 days, and there's a chance the car will take longer than 30 days to be delivered to me, correct?
So should I wait a couple of weeks before submitting the missing details to ensure nothing will expire before taking delivery?

That’s strange. I ordered by Model S LR on 2 Oct and am scheduled to take delivery in Kansas City this Friday 8 November. It’s currently on a transporter in Chicago, so hopefully it makes it down in time. If what you’ve been told is right it seems like they may have had a production pause for Model S as my car was produced to order and was not a stock car.

is it an inventory car (2019) or 2020? most 2020's won't delivery before early to mid Dec....Make sure it is uncorked and has a 2020 vin number

You are correct. Wait till you get your delivery date before applying.

It’s a factory order to my spec with a 2020 VIN. Uncorking doesn’t apply to these cars as far as I’m aware.

super.....I just hope I get mine before the 28th....going to Ecuador and won't be back before 18 Jan 20

How do you tell if it is a 2020 vin?

 

[gbailey]

It says so on the Tesla MVPA and the VIN itself contains a year designator letter which for 2020 is “L”

Thank you. I am picking up my 2020 model S LR on November 19, ordered October 17.

when did you get your VIN?
Was it a custom order?

I placed my order same day as yours (edited design 2 days later) but still no Vin.

 

[ragweedd]

No VIN on web page but I was able to get the VIN from my local Tesla store. The ViIN has not yet been registered but I was told to wait until Monday. I made a custom order for the interior color. I was told it shipped one week ago. Did you get a text about setting up an appointment to pick up the car?

 

[shawn448]

No text, no info what so ever other than they wanted drivers license and insurance info.

Ordered a Model S MSM, beige interior, on October 17, 2019 to be delivered to the Tesla service center in Palm Springs. As was the case with my first Tesla, the Tesla Advisor in Fremont stopped responding to my email once the deal was done. Luckily the folks on Palm Springs are extremely helpful and forthcoming. They told me not to expect a VIN until mid December, and that all their cars will be coming in late December. They are looking at 10 deliveries a day.

I asked if there’s a chance mine won’t come before 12/31 and they said no; Tesla wants everything delivered before year end.

I believe them, and have set aside a grain of salt

I just changed my order and picked up a 2020 inventory car. It’s my second choice color but I’m happy. I got tired of waiting... Red performance model with black cf interior. Just need to wait for delivery now.

Congrats to everyone ordering your new Tesla.

I was at the Tesla Factory Tour earlier this week, I might have seen parts of your cars (motors, body panels, etc.) at the assembly lines over there.

The factory is an amazing marvel..... It is sitting on 370+ acres, has countless robots and 10,000+ people working together. Inside the factory, the assembly lines are literally left, right, and above you.

It was pretty cool to see where our cars were being made. I would highly recommend to sign up for the Tesla Factory Tour, if you live locally or happen to visit the area.

Agree. I took the tour in June 2018 in conjunction with taking delivery of my first Model S. If you plan to tour the factory book early.

Placed an order for MS LR, black exterior/white interior, w/ FSD on 12/3. Decided to remove the FSD on 12/7 so updated the order.

Just got this text this afternoon:

Did you know we now offer 60-day credit approvals for qualified customers? Get priority vehicle matching for faster delivery by completing your profile now at Tesla.com/teslaaccount

I went ahead and completed the credit application since I was going to finance through Tesla anyway. We’ll see if there is anything to “priority vehicle matching for faster delivery”. I’m doubtful.

Too bad that is too late for the California rebate - $2500. Expires on 12/3

Ordered my MS LR on 10/14 and took delivery yesterday (11/8). Everything went flawlessly (despite a lot of the chatter on other threads around delivery quality issues), but I was mildly annoyed to get find out that it was built with V9 of the OS even though it was a new car ordered a few weeks after V10 was released. To my relief, though, it received the update within a few hours of being connected to my home WiFi

Ordered a Model S Performance on Oct 21 and just received a text that my vehicle is in transit and pick up is scheduled for Nov 26. Still no VIN received.
