My LR AWD has a F in the VIN, which will cost me in insurance rates. 5YJYGDEF7LF0057xx is getting home delivery in Denver Tuesday. Has anyone been able to get Tesla to fix the VIN? Insurance is already expensive enough on these cars. Plus, I don't want to carry the dead weight associated with the performance hardware.
Sounds like they have started producing the "true" LR models with the E in the VIN starting somewhere in the 6000's. I don't think Tesla can "fix" the VIN on your car, it isn't wrong, you just happened to get an early model LR which is really just a performance that they limited. I do know that many insurance companies give rates based on the MSRP of the car rather than the VIN though, maybe switch to one of those if yours is being stubborn about you having a performance VIN.
Yes, it appears that the true LR models have begun production. I just got a VIN/MVPA today and I have 5YJYGDEE with a sequence number of 62xx. This is a blue/black LR Y with 19" wheels and FSD ordered 9/2019. Still have to see if I can convert from cash to a trade using a carmax quote from mid March. If not I'll either get a new carmax quote or deal with the existing car myself.
Tesla wants me to pay now but I'd rather pay by check during delivery at the IL store after inspecting the vehicle. Paying at delivery shouldn't be an issue...but with touchless delivery who knows.

On my last delivery, I ACHed over all the money to Tesla. They tried to deliver a Model 3 with a scratch clean through the paint refusing to document the problem or ever fix it. I refused delivery of course and it took 3 weeks, several calls and escalations to get my funds back by check, not ACH. They had thousands of dollars of mine for nearly a month before I got the check cleared.

Ah. Starting to see where your attitude comes from. As if everyone had the same experience.
I'll go one further. Also taking delivery in Cinci, June 3rd, VIN 585X. 8th digit "F", AWD LR, non P (or is it?). Blue.

Make sure to check the bottom of the doors, inside the doors, and the rocker panels for defects or damage. Also common thing we've seen is where the rear 1/4 window ends inside the hatch, there has been epoxy/glue that is rather unsightly and still sticky. Sometimes the vehicle is damaged in transport etc. Also if your vehicle has a front plate mount that is attached with double sided tape. Look around at the other vehicles. Do they all have that front plate mount? If not, the mount might be there to cover up bumper damage. Have seen 5+ cars with bumper damage hidden by a pre-installed front plate mount.
