Got a text asking for a 9/28 pick up today. Hopefully everything goes smoothly.

Everyone relax if u had read a few of the recent deliveries u don’t want a rushed delivery ..quarter ends typically are bad for quality
They are normally but I was impressed, from a Tesla standard perspective, of how well built my Model X is... Yeah, it's not perfect, but that's what mobile ranger service is for...
I can say there are no major alignment/body issues. Jeff

I'm worried about this.
Does anyone have a inspection check list? My concern is that I'll be too excited when the car is infront of me. Going through a check list from memory will not work well. lol

I had the same concern... Here is how I handled it, I asked my wife to look over the car as best she could as she's much better than I am at spotting things. I gave her specific areas I wanted extra focus. We found a few small paint defects and some other very minor panel gap/alignment issues but even she was happy with how well the car was built all the way down to the seals... I leaned on my wife for this as I was the emotional one with regards to purchase excitement whereas she was more concerned about quality... YMMV...

I guess my wife will have to do the same in this case. lol
Lol don’t use a checklist a visual is fine
First Teslas, so the excitement might get the better of me.
Use a checklist, I found a few things I never would have without it. Things like the mudguards weren't fully clipped in, and while it probably wouldn't have showed up in the short term, in the long term it probably would have. Tesla staff was pretty insistent on trying to distract us and rush us, but the checklist made it clear to them they weren't going to as well.
Here is the best checklist I have seen. https://teslamotorsclub.com/tmc/attachments/tesla-model-x-checklist-pdf.107913/
I plan on using it if my East Coast after 3rd quarter was supposed to be delivered hasn't even gone to production yet MX gets delivered.
Do I sound impatient yet...lol

I am new to understanding this and folks here have suggested VIN happens in batches. I placed 9/11, confirmed 9/15. No VIN yet either. Hopefully post 3Q rush will enable things to keep moving like this. I am East Coast delivery, too, so not sure that is a factor.
That sounds like they found your car in inventory. What's the average time between order and VIN?
I think they have to notify you when it's a matching inventory car. We have seen a lot of report of people in the west coast getting their car earlier. The idea is that Tesla is prioritizing car production for those customers because they can deliver them before the end of the month to attain profitability for this quarter. Producing the car is not that long, 3 to 5 days. Then shipping it to the west cost can be done the same day instead of almost a month for east cost.
There is no such requirement. 99% of car purchases are made with cars already built. A lot of model 3s being sold now are not custom built but pre-built and sitting on a lot waiting to be matched.
The OP will be able to tell by the VIN. Currently we're in the 130*** range.
