21s or 19s? I think that's the big limiter now

well, they say "it is better to have loved and lost, then never loved at all" - so I'm guessing promises made and taken away are better?
In seriousness, when there's some wonkiness, I THINK "something" is happening behind the scenes.
Maybe for the EOQ push, they just got whatever cars they could into whatever hands they could (makes no sense to me then why they'd ship cross country versus just California and then outward) -
maybe, if logistics can catch up, they can then advise the VIN when the car is being built, but right now I would question if they're building off of orders, or making spec builds - "we have enough of this color paint for 20 more, then we'll clean, and switch to next color" - ditto interiors, panels, etc. - once demand slows, then maybe they'll build to order and assign VINs.
I ordered a BMW years ago, and I had to wait until the factory was building with my special order wood trim - that slowed it down a couple of weeks I believe.
Someone on YouTube posted something about Brakes. Dont think I have came across anything in the past about plaid brakes anyone here ?

Haven't noticed any slippage. I'll be going Weathertech or similar asap.

I went the opposite way. August to blank.
Could be other factors. “Death wobble” Maybe his tire pressure was waay off.
Or maybe it was the cars way of telling him ‘don’t go 160+ on public roads’

What is your config?Hey yall, VIN twice removed here. Just got another! Delivery estimate July 14th. I can finally rest.
No way they'll take a VIN from me a third time right? RIGHT?

Those were exactly my thoughts. It could very well also be some nice EOQ FUD, as it was posted yesterday morning.

Considering the kids just want to watch YouTube in the back, getting headphone pairing is my top request.
I went from blank to August yesterday. Back to blank today.

Lots of clueless people regarding the importance of making sure all 4 are the correct tire pressure. It affects range, performance, safety etc... super important
Kind of difficult to tell what’s going on there. Death wobble and smoked brakes? Doesn't sound like they’ve done it before so only one run up to 160 and this happened? But what even happened? No context whatsoever…until it’s clearer it’s FUD to me.

Totally agreed! I do think the last part of the video, sounded quite exaggerated to me. Plus the video's rather lackluster grammar description didn't help either.

Definitely seems like fake EOQ news...
Nice, can you post a pic with this on, how’s the quality, you think it will hold up in the sun?
Yeah, I think I was more or less in shock when they called while I was on a zoom call and it didn't hit me till after my meeting. They called at 11am and I left right after the call and was there at 12:30...lol
On a side note, I know I haven't necessary waited as much as others but I too was frustrated with no dates, then date, then blank but as other mentioned, once you take delivery and drive the car, it makes everything worth it. This is my second Tesla (other was in 2015 delivery) so I have some feel for how Tesla operates but still feels disheartening to not know anything. As mentioned, once you drive it, the force that is placed on you when accelerating is nothing I have experienced before. The only other car that I drove consistently as a reference point was my GTR (mostly stock) but this acceleration is so much faster than that, just my 2cents.

Not to mention all of us with OCD here that can't handle the PSI #'s varying even 1 digit on the display
And it’s not set it and forget it. When the temperatures outside rise and fall, so does tire pressure.. In the NE, cold tires at 40psi in September will drop 10-20% by Dec. Driving around at 32psi is horrible if supposed to be at 40psi.
