Your rep isn’t your sales agent? Who did you end up contacting? I’m getting delivery soon and I know I won’t get my MC. So I need a promo code.
UPDATES. Yesterday (Friday) I received my VIN with EDD OF Sept 1-5. Next step in the Tesla app was to send my insurance info, and I sent a pic of my insurance card. Midday Saturday I got a text and email with a link to choose my delivery date. Of course, I’m going to choose the earliest possible appointment. To my surprise, this was Tuesday, Aug 30, two days prior to my EDD interval they gave me yesterday. About an hour later, I get a text with a warning to respond by 5pm today or Tesla will assume I don’t want the car! I had to tell them if I was transferring a license plate and the plate # or did I want a new plate ($165 fee). Second thing they wanted to know was how i intended to pay for my Tesla, so I told them cashiers check. Person I spoke to at Tesla cautioned against using the Tesla app to do a bank transfer for fear of the bank not appproving it. A couple hours later, I got ANOTHER text from Tesla acknowledging receipt of my info. They advised that my 1pm delivery on Aug 30 looked good, but they would advise me if it could be pulled forward or if it needed to be delayed for any reason. Last night, I got a bunch of offers from online buyers and also Tesla. Carvana was highest with Car gurus $800 behind. Tesla‘s offer was not a firm number but instead a range spreading approx $2000. If I take the highest number and account for state sales tax savings, the Tesla offer is about $1330 less than Carvana. Being more greedy than lazy, I will pursue the Carvana offer. So, I have a couple busy days before delivery day Tuesday. Since my last EDD was Sept 20-Oct 18, I am not prepared. Videos to watch, checklist to get together, get cashier check, etc.
Never had a single guy to correspond with. Car had minor issues, so I went to the reception and asked one of the folks to help me out.
Picked up my my car yesterday. I need to get it serviced as there a huge door gap on the passenger door. I had to tighten one of the bolt on the rear door because the car door was literally loose and not secured. When I picked up my car there was an Austin built next to mine. Mine had the matrix lights and the wooden door panel. The Austin car didnt have the matrix and the wooden door panel but it had the trunk shelf which mine didnt.
Checked the website this afternoon and new EDD Sep1 - Sep 5. Also showed a VIN (Freemont). Have not heard from them to schedule delivery yet. USAA insurance will go up by $12 a month over current 2019 4 Runner Limited. May still shop around.
MYLR Blue/Black 20"s, Order date 11/5/21.

Yes, for 30 days. Then they send you all needed documents that you take with you to DMV to make a car registration.
Picked up the car yesterday... basically the SA asked me to sign the papers and left...
Here are the issues:
1. Passenger side front door trim paint chipped off
2. Door weather stripping is not aligned properly
3. driver door is not closing properly ( i have to close it hard.. looks like all austin models have this issue)
4. This is weird - Tailgate is not closing properly when parked in a driveway (slight inclination)
5. Driver side headlight is not aligned/flushed
6. hatch/tailgate is not aligned..
out of all, i believe they will fix the 1, 2 and 4. I ok to live with panel gaps... not bad.. but, if you look closely, you can figure out..
Tesla advisor told me to leave it as it is.. its within the threshold and its not visible..
i have a mobile tech appt on monday.

As far as I understand, that is expected for the new car because the rubber around the window is new and tight.. it should become better overtime when it's softened.
You can test the closing door's smoothness, just roll down the window and try to close the door. It would be much much easier.
Do you have pictures? Curious about the Austin models since I’m picking up in a few days.

its not flushed.. probably my pic angle is not good... i am going to leave it as its... I have got an appointment for all the issues... they have already told me that the panel gaps are within the specs.. i am bothered about only 3 issues,, door weather strips, tailgate is closing only if the car is in flat surface and paint issue.
Last update. Picked up my no-option MYLR today. I am extremely impressed on several fronts. First, my wife hates Teslas but admits this one is pretty nice. I didn't find any issues. Drove it home 45 miles. Absolutely no squeaks or rattles. Very quiet, found myself cruising well over speed limit several times. Rides very well. I am still in shock having gone from no VIN and EDD 1-2 months away to having it in my garage only four days later. Austin build, door wings, cargo cover, carpeted door bins and rear seat wheel arches, regular headlights. OD 11/21/21, DD 8/30/22.

I am pleased to report that after the rollercoaster of dates (in my sig) a VIN was received on 8/29. New EDD 9/14. I called and spoke with an advisor to confirm. He shows it still in Austin in the final phases so he believes that date will hold.
