I've been on here since 2012, but could never buy a Tesla, so I never bothered to pay attention to the ordering process... but now I can! So I ordered, now what?

What comes first? VIN? Delivery Specialist?

How long until I get a VIN?

I hit the order button and left in the dark....haha.
 
Cool. Be sure to look at your Telsa Account settings and make sure the contact info for you is how you want to be reached. Several options. Make sure they have your correct email and/or phone if you want to be called or texted. If you are financing don't apply too soon or if trading in a car in case it runs longer and commitments expire. VINs don't come until right before. Communication on this end of the sale has been all over the place for many. Still have bugs to work out in that regard. Took us 2 arragement attempts before our third and final one for our delivery date. Probably for the vast majority of owners things went pretty well but there are some unfortunate stories out there. I know Texas is one of those states with different rules/requirements from California so you might want to check out threads specific to your state. Like I think Texas has to pay in full upfront but like I said better to do your own research on this.

What color did you go with??
