Ok since I will be picking up the car tomorrow morning, this may be the last time im spending much time on this site so I figured I would give a full account of what my process has been as it is a bit different than many I have read. hopefully it gives some of you peace of mind.
I ordered on October 16th after a test drive here in Denver. My configuration is MYLR/MSM/black interior/19in/no tow/no fsd. when I first ordered, my EDD said April. within the first week of being ordered it changed to march 1-30 and it stayed that way until late feb when it switched to April 25-may 23. I considered changing some things around to try to get it earlier but at the end of the day, I ordered my configuration because that is what I wanted so there was no reason to spend more money just to get it sooner and have it be extra *sugar* I didn't care about. about a week ago my EDD changed to May 10-21. I decided to delete the app and check this page infrequently because it was making me anxious about the imminent delivery without knowing any real information on it. yesterday at 1pm Denver time, I received a text message telling me I had a vin. I never got a text about a trade in or any communications from Tesla ever for that matter. after I got my financing and trade in sorted last night, I woke up this morning to no changes. at about 10:30 am I got a text saying it was my turn to schedule my pick up. I set it for Saturday at 4pm but said I would be available earlier if somehow it finished sooner. at about 6pm today they called me and told me I can pick it up tomorrow at 10 am.
the moral of the story is that although sometimes there seems to be an order to delivery steps with trade in texts and whatnot, clearly sometimes there is no communication and you are just surprised with a vehicle like in my case. I hope y'all dont get too obsessed with trying to figure out the crazy antics of Tesla and just remember that eventually...you will have the car. and if all goes as planned, you will love it. keep your chins up. drive safe. party on.
