Urgent: I just received a VIN number! My EDD moved to March 23 – March 29. Is there any doubt that this Vin number is the refresh 2.0:
VIN 5YJSA1E57NF4743XXX
VIN 5YJSA1E57NF4743XXX

Should be OK on 2.0. However, everyone will start rejecting orders holding out for refresh 3.0 soon.

This comment will age really well, I guarantee it.
Chances are hardware 4.0 will be retrofitted to those who buy FSD. Question is: how far back can they realistically go? FOMO all over again.

If they were to do that, is there realistically any reason not to pay the $12K cost at that point? Not for FSD itself, but if I got an upgrade that helped future proof my car for $12K (instead of buying a new car) I'd likely do it.

I was wondering about that. Partly why I bought FSD. What if 4.0 includes new camera wiring or possibly new camera locations.

But they promised the people who bought FSD in 2017. But I didn’t buy FSD, just advanced autopilot On the 2017.

I know there’s a lot of discussion about people bringing cashiers checks but I’m going to take the car as long as it’s drivable and is a Refresh 2.0 as I expect with my VIN4743XXX. I can put in a service order for any corrections. The question is whether I really need to pay the balance before they give me the actual delivery date?

On the second question, Tesla recommends transferring funds a few days before delivery day. Plaids website indicates it can take up to 6 days. Additionally others have posted here about delays and denials on the first attempt to transfer.
If wanting to make payment day of I would take a cashiers check. Just be sure that your name and RN # is in the memo of the check (instructions my SA gave me when I inquired)
And folks with old 2.0 cameras are struggling to get them updated. Also they may define HW3 has what was promised but now HW4 will have new capabilities that were not promised with HW3 promised features. Like I think I heard Elon say something like HW3 will drive 3x better than a human but HW4 will be 10x. I don’t recall exact phrasing or numbers but it was something like that. My point is, there is lots of wiggle room. And they are getting better at this over promising stuff with more carefully worded promises.

You can pay by wire on the spot, after inspection, multiple ways. No delay.

Good point, was just referring to the Tesla / Plaid option. Others may be more consistent.
I think Tesla prefers you pay with Plaid (before or after inspection). It’s not always a question how long it takes to move the money. It’s if Tesla can verify you have the funds and possibly lock it before it actually moves. A cashiers check is a form of proving you have the funds and securing them for that transaction.
Got my VIN NF475XXX...EDD March 25-Apr 3. Order # RN1151...
Yeah, I'm leaving progressive because my M3P is $200, and now they want $450 for my MSLR because someone t-boned me few years back -_-
Tesla insurance was $163/m... almost 32.
Ins is a fickle thing
