So i called Tesla again yesterday to find out why my car still hasn't shipped and why i haven't gotten a text message to schedule a pick up.
I first got a girl who must have been new and tried to feed me some BS saying "it looks like your car has still not been built yet and it would have to be build before you can move on with you account." I kindly told her to she didn't know what the F she was talking about. Asked her to send me to someone else and she said she would have someone else call me but it wouldn't be till next day.
I then called again after hanging up with her and got the best Tesla Rep out there. He looked in my notes and found that someone had asked the Logistics dep. what was wrong with my delivery and there was a response yesterday. (Car has been sitting there for 17 days)
The response was that the Trucking Company refused to pick up the car and pretty much had told Tesla to go F themselves. They then scheduled for another company to pick up my car yesterday and it is scheduled to arrive at 1pm on Feb 9th.
This really sucks for my because my plans to pick up on Feb 1-5 is completely shot down the drain. The awesome Rep said he would add a note for them to expedite my delivery so that i can pick it up the same day it arrives as long as there are no issues. He also tried to ping the car but couldn't get connected. Seems to be a software issue on his end. Said he hadn't used it all day so it must have not been working for the day.
I live 2 hours away from the SC so i will need to rent a car for the trip...
TLDR:
I got forgotten and had to call till i found a few people that could get the ball rolling again.
New EDD showing today: Feb 7th -13th. Car is arriving at Feb 9th at 1pm.
Lessons learned: if you delivery is taking a while and you have a VIN, call them and have them ask logistics. If i hadn't kept calling, they would have forgotten me for a while.

Outstanding! Based on all the deliveries I'm seeing on the forum for 1150/1151 orders, I'm cautiously optimistic our order is getting close! Maybe we'll cross paths picking up our Model S's later in Feb! Good luck!
Following up on this, they have allowed an "exception" and are allowing me to see it on Monday, moving my pick up to the 3rd of Feb.
Looks like I should be looking for missing trunk/cubby covers.
Anything else other LR owners have noticed missing on recent deliveries?
Thanks!
So far they're all missing those new lights we're all so excited about.
Well, I have thought long and hard about this. As my car is Black I will not notice the difference as much as say someone in a white car.
I've waited long enough...and considering I am only paying 89K USD for it ( 114CND ) I'm kind of inclined to take it. Picking up like 10k in positive equity in an inflationary market is an easy decision.

Thanks for the real time info, I'll manage my expectations accordingly. However I'd say if that's the only things you found, I'd be happy for you!
According to SA, none of the cars are coming with all the shelfs.

Nah it took them 10 years for this one. Maybe they'll do one in 2030 and maybe the door handles will work for more than 2 weeks by then.

I won't be driving by then.
If true, perhaps to misquote Elon, "The best Tesla is no Tesla", or in my case, the best Tesla may be the one you already have...

If you’re expecting photos or a delivery video, you will be sadly disappointed in the post. I’m expecting to see detailing or modifications in the future. I bookmarked the thread. Please don’t let us down @jebinc !Sharing and gushing time!
Electric Riding Zero Turn Mowers
Okay, who has one or plans to get one, before mowing season kicks off? Which one do you have/plan to get? Why did you pick the one you did? What else would you like to share about it? I just took delivery of an Ego Z6 HP-22HP zero turn mower (56v) today. This one is like a Tesla lawn mower...teslamotorsclub.com

I have a VIN! My EDD is 2/13 to 2/17 and my VIN is a 470###.
Is it too late to add a trade?
I’ve got to decide if I want the MS. I’m pretty satisfied with the MY. I need to sit in a new MS to see if I like the ingress/egress.

So, it appears that deliveries might be actually starting to occur within the EDD window. If so, one less thing to complain about, and the other things like missing parts are more for the other thread...
I found that in my case with a current EDD of Today though next Wednesday, I could schedule delivery at the store on Monday.
Still going to defer til May.

They will be able to expedite a trade-in. This go-around they refused to even give me a trade-in offer until I had a VIN assigned.
Pretty sure that is status quo across the board now. No offers since their delivery windows are so long and typically exceed the trade-in validity period.

Has anyone ever transported a Tesla? Do you need to put it in transport mode in a trailer or can you just tie the wheels down and keep it in park? Any issues to be aware of? I had an RS Etron GT lose 12v battery during a transport and have to be winched out with ebrake on. They think the alarm kept going off due to bumps in the road and that drained power.

I got an idea - you tow it backwards and it charges the battery!!!!Model S Owner's Manual | Tesla
In the event that your vehicle needs to be towed, learn about the logistics of transporting it.www.tesla.comInstructions for Transporters
Enable Transport Mode (see Activate Transport Mode) before winching Model S onto a flatbed truck. If Transport Mode is not available or the touchscreen is not accessible, self-loading dollies or tire skates must be used to load the vehicle into the approved transportation position. Tesla is not responsible for any damage caused by or during the transport of Model S, including personal property damage or damage caused by using self-loading dollies or tire skates.
Note
Transport Mode is only intended to allow for winching Model S onto a flatbed truck or repositioning the vehicle out of a parking space. While in Transport Mode, the tires are allowed to rotate slowly (under 3 mph or 5 km/h) and for a very short distance (less than 30 feet or 10 meters). See Activate Transport Mode. Exceeding these boundaries can lead to significant damage and overheating that is not covered by the warranty.
