The husband of a co-worker of mine is friends with the mobile service guy... hopefully I don't get to know him too well.
Humming the Weird Al song "Lame Claim to Fame" in my head - one line is "I know a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows a guy who knows Kevin Bacon"
(we're all getting punchy waiting on VINs and delivery...)Ordered on 4/6 (Red/Aero, based in Northern VA), got the first call from my ISA yesterday to verify pickup location and payment/trade-in options. Said my car (VIN 192xx) was sitting in the lot at Fremont waiting for a ride to the train station.
ISA called back today (Nevada area code) to follow up on the trade-in documents I submitted, and let me know that my car was en-route to the train station. After "about a week," he expects the car to show up in Richmond VA, at which point he will be able to schedule delivery to Tyson's Corner.

No. I'd have had an additional 90 or so miles from KC, but I decided to stop at the Council Bluffs supercharger and add another 30 or so miles of range in the time it took to grab a coffee.
Is it starting to get slightly bothersome seeing VIN's all around for later invites and still no VIN love for many of us after over 4 weeks of F5 mashing? I completely understand the tax situation for certain people but this cannot be something that came up as a surprise just now all of a sudden. Why then did they invite us to configure and take our money by making a 3-6 week commitment? I call it crowdfunding still if we are paying for the company to operate and produce cars that are going elsewhere.

Yes, I am trying to be patient knowing that some others have been waiting longer and I don't really have a pressing need. That said, I WANT the car now the refreshing is getting old. Just hoping to get a VIN and a delivery date relatively soon so I can plan accordingly. But I think there may be some 3/22 reservations that are still waiting so I appreciate that they have had an even greater wait.
I have seen in the past that Elon has responded to tweets aimed at Tesla/him. Given the volume of people in the waiting bucket for a while, I am surprised there have not been any (published) exchanges recently. I am curious to hear what he would say.

You’re going to love it! I picked up the twin in KC last week.
FYI: I figured out if you wax the piano black console it doesnt leave prints.
Just received my VIN tonight, on the wife's birthday, no less.

I get this feeling that the black and MSM cars are ready to go for the 4/6 invitees but they are holding them up for some random reason like sending them to Canada or WA instead.
As noted above, I was assigned my VIN yesterday (07-May) and just got a call from my ISA this morning (08-May) and have delivery scheduled for 08-June. She said my car was still in the factory and needed to go through 2 more inspections.

I received my VIN yesterday but have not gotten a call yet. Given your location and the timing, I expect that we may be on the same truck so I can probably expect delivery around the same time. Was hoping for late May but hey, what's another month at this point?
It looks like Black/MSM is beginning to open up to people outside of Canada/WA so I think we should receive something shortly.
ISA gave me the option of delivery any time from June 5-9, but unfortunately, I'm traveling that week for work, so had to do delivery on Friday.I received my VIN yesterday but have not gotten a call yet.
