Could be the white interior, Red ext, CF, 19s.. In your case, it’s CF; in my case, it’s the 19s.

im 35, either way, thats an extremally good price for a 130k luxury carThat’s the current quote but I’m old and have all my insurance with USAA.
You're right. No 19s being deliveredI’d agree if 19s were being delivered. Haven’t seen any so far.
That's my delivery location. Was the S white?Fyi, was at St Louis SC yesterday. They had lots of Plaids. Maybe 8, and 2 trucks unloading Y's with an S mixed in. I have fallen behind on this thread, so apologize if already posted.
congrats and enjoy!!Good things:
I had Aug/blank for days back and forth right before getting a VIN
I'm a 1/27 order so post refresh announcement
I'm a 2nd week of July delivery so post end of quarter push
All things considered, I have my VIN and delivery scheduled. It'll happen for everyone soon! I really think as others have said it's just a "you got a spec we decided to produce now so you get a car" sort of deal.
I had the same issue--you need to talk to a human to get them to update the system. Do yo have an SA you were working with?I ordered a Plaid! However, I have a problem, and I hope you can help. I used Apple Pay and the email address doesn’t match my Tesla account. How do I update the address? Is there someone I can call? I’d hate to create another account.
Congrats! Yeah, I'm really thinking August is just a placeholder!Good things:

Agree on the variables. Blank does not equal positive or Vin is imminent. It would be incredibly nice to have a valid estimate based off config/location/order date. I can except the fact that my config will be delivered based off build/availability . What I hate is the lack of transparency and inaccurate expectations.Many of us have something holding us up..

Agreed. And to rub it all in Tesla's website still claims you can get Plaid in the next few days. What a load of *sugar*Agree on the variables. Blank does not equal positive or Vin is imminent.

On Monday, my SA told me that for EOQ push, all deliveries to east coast are coming via truck, not rail. So looks like conflicting data points.below is a breakdown how they ship it usually. EOQ push they do like to ship everything via truck.
The "output" / results based on this info:
- Tesla ships by rail from Fremont to the East coast. It seems like they use either or both Union Pacific (UP) and BNSF.
- My SA told me my vehicle will be shipped by rail to Chicago, then truck to MA.
- For those in southeastern U.S., I've read others being told their cars is shipped via rail to Birmingham, AL, then truck to their SC.
- The rail yard in Milpitas, CA is operated by Union Pacific
- BNSF has a rail yard in Richmond, CA (see PDF for their rail routes for shipping vehicles in the US and Mexico)
- List of automotive loading/unloading rail locations in the U.S. You'll find "Tesla" listed on here as well as the Milpitas, CA location.
Tip! Don't coil up the cable that tight so it cools. I found my Gen 3 charger cable gets quite warm when charging. My Gen 2 charger does not.View attachment 677131
Freshly installed - all I need is a car to go with it - the installer could not help on that front.
My green light has been on since February. I don’t have it wrapped too tight so it is a great green led light. It has reminded me everyday for the past 4+ months that Tesla is laughing at me for thinking I might get my new S this year.Tip! Don't coil up the cable that tight so it cools.

The Plaid: We arrived 5 minutes early. Busy lot. We walk past the car on the way to the door and it looks great - a few fingerprints, smudges, but nothing that can't be quickly dispatched. No scratches. A random adviser asks if we need help - and spends 5 minutes telling us *in detail* what he loves about the Plaid and is happy for us. We get to the desk, check in - "Oh, I think your car is around here somewhere." I point to the exact car - "Oh right!" Some paperwork mixups in the process - "Pull out your phone and go do Tesla.com, and pull up your account" I'm told - and we get past the basics. Inside the car, plastic covers on screens and glossy surfaces are still in place. We finish, sign papers, temp plate is taped to the window. As we're about to leave, we're told to wait a minute and the advisor brings out a Congratulations card signed by those inside. "Go Embarrass A Lambo!" wrote one. As I pull out of the lot, I notice that the battery is at 40%.
There are opportunities to tune this process.
Summary: The wait for the car was agonizing and long. Reading through this thread was therapy and I thank you all for allowing me to lurk along. I can

They'll push updates in a few monthsTesla: There Are Opportunities To Tune This Process™
How does a multimillion dollar company not have a solid inventory count/prediction system based off the options selected to have an approximate…. At least month… I mean even if you put up a month +1 and then deliver it early, way better case scenario than knowing nothing at all affecting the following factors.Agreed. And to rub it all in Tesla's website still claims you can get Plaid in the next few days. What a load of *sugar*
