Thanks, Let me discuss with my spouse and get back.
Thank you! That's what I planned as well. My sales advisor was pretty nice and he suggested that I could transfer if I'm not satisfied with this car.
Sounds like 90% of the people all love their Tesla no matter what they get.
UPDATE: I put down the deposit at 1AM EST last night, and directly emailed my sales advisor. He's based in Cali so he got back to me about two hours ago.
I originally wanted to have the pickup around the Valentines day, but after reading some stories of pickup delaying, I asked if the pickup should be scheduled earlier. My advisor said that just moving the car across the country will take 3 to 4 weeks so he suggests doing it right away.

Not sure if anybody is curious, but here's my update for the CPO delivery:
I got a call on the second day at 10:45PM EST after I paid the deposit. My delivery specialist is based in Fremont, California, and he knew about me wanting to get this car before mid-Feb for V-Day gift already. I guess my cpo advisor told him about it since they are in the same office.
My DS said that since it's shipped across the country to NJ, I need to complete all the 6 steps in the Tesla account asap. He scheduled my pickup to the Paramus, NJ sales center instead of Mt. Kisco where all the CPO cars seem to be. He also said that he couldn't give me an estimate delivery time at all. Maybe they got too many complaints about previous high promises and low deliveries, so they were trying to be conservative now.
As today, I applied for financing through Tesla and it gave me a rate of 3.99% from Wells Fargo. I shopped around some credit union websites and other banks, and decided that Tesla's rate is not bad, so I went with it. I also got insurance and everything loaded up to my Tesla account.
We'll see how they will schedule the shipping process.

If still considering non Tesla financing, I just finished my approval with Sharonview credit union in NC and got 1.99 for 60 months. Non local residents can become members by joining a local organization for $20.
That's an amazing rate! Can I ask how much your loan was? I asked around credit unions and didn't get anything less than 3.96.
My loan is $55k for my used model s. I have no idea how they can lend at such a low rate! There’s a good rate tracking spreadsheet in the forum below.

Clearpath credit union has 2.99 rate too.

Well, something is awful strange then. I talked to someone who is very familiar with production at Tesla (works there) and she said without any hesitation that VINS below 165K were NOT V2 hardware equipped. She was not able to find the exact VIN (first VIN) that was made with the new hardware but assured me that if I wanted the new equipment to only purchase something above 166K. That said, I guess your car could be a 'pre-production' unit where they were testing the new hardware.
Just to confirm, you have the cameras in both door sills and in both front fender Tesla badges? What is the mfg date on the label inside the drivers door? Was the car 'new' or a CPO? How many miles were on it when you took delivery?
Whomever you spoke at Tesla with is most definitely wrong as my car is proof that there's an AP2 car with a VIN as low as 156455.
I took delivery of my new Model S on 12/7/2016. IIRC, the date of manufacture is 11/2016 and it had 6 or 7 miles on it when I took delivery.
My car may be a bit of a unicorn as I originally placed my order in April 2016, 3 days before the refresh was announced, but knowing the refresh was coming. We actually ordered two cars the same day. After a couple weeks, we decided we didn't need to take delivery of 2 cars right away so I delayed mine for the maximum allowed six months. In October 2016, I asked for it to be delayed again since I knew AP2 was coming (see my posts from the October 2016 where I mentioned people "would be going APE" over the yet unannounced changes, referring to the upcoming Enhanced Autopilot, with option codes beginning with APE). I received my VIN but reminded them that my order was intentionally delayed. A week later, AP2 was announced.
You can see pictures of my my AP2 vehicle listed for sale here:

You can also see my Monroney sticker with the VIN and the $5000 Enhanced Autopilot option shown below.
Maybe your friend at Tesla transposed some digits...or maybe my 156xxx car is the lowest VIN AP2 production vehicle.
I'll just say that it's almost time for an upgrade.

Wow. Very interesting. I guess I don't know what to say other than you do have V2 with a VIN below 165K. And no, she was very specific about that VIN, although she said to make sure the mfg date was Dec 2016, as they changed over on 11/16 but you couldn't tell for sure by the label since it would only have month and year. I, by the way, was looking for a 60D. I wonder if Tesla took out a bunch of VINs for 90Ds earlier in the year but didn't make them, so these VINs were just 'held' until someone placed a firm order... That is the only thing I can think of.
Anyway, good to know. For sure, if people want a V2, make sure the production date is 12/16 or newer! That part is definitely correct.
Thanks!
I'll double-check my production date. I think it is 11/16 since I got mine in the first week of December and don't think they finished production and shipped it in less than a week. I'll confirm this afternoon. I do know that there was a long wait after the AP2 announcement before we actually ever saw any AP2 cars delivered in the US, as I got one of the first ones.
There were a bunch of European AP2 cars which showed up in the system in October 2016, before the AP2 announcement. I assume those were actually built in October, but maybe they weren't built until November, even though they were already available online for purchase in October.
We haven't seen it so much with the S or X but they definitely aren't building the Model 3 in VIN order. We recently got a performance Model 3 in December (12/18 build date) that has a lower VIN than the AWD Model 3 that was delivered to us in September (9/18 build date). Needless to say, you can't use VIN to determine when a hardware feature was added. We've seen some new parts on the 12/18 Model 3 (lower VIN) that are not on the 9/18 Model 3 (higher VIN) and aren't related to the AWD/Performance difference.

Sorry for the delay - I never got an email about your post. Yes, I have had no issues supercharging. Once they tied my car to my Tesla account, I found this:
Supercharging
You have free, unlimited Supercharging for your current Tesla vehicle as well as any new Model S or Model X purchased before January 31, 2018. If you choose to sell your current Tesla, free Supercharging will transfer to the next owner. In addition, up to five friends you refer will also receive free Supercharging. Read our Supercharging terms.
I find the January 31, 2018 statement interesting. It would appear to tell me that if I decide to sell this car and buy another S/X with a mfg date of 1/2018, I will also get free SC on it... That is contrary to everything I have read.
