LOL!!!!
No it’s been there I just asked them to move it up and they did without even letting me know!!
Dang, scoundrels. How and why would they keep such precious assets from their customers, knowing how much we've been waiting. At least you'll be Rain free for the next week or so. Mine's been in 2 torrential downpours lol. LA... who knew.

So spoke with DC again today... now sorry 623XXX is in preproduction as opposed to ”waiting for transport” 
Found out they have my config sitting at the DC just without FSD but I would have to pay the price increase (not going to happen and shouldn’t hard to fix.) WTF on so many levels.
Proceeded to talk with someone at corporate who tried to tell me that I can’t have that one matched to my order because that’s “inventory” car and mine is a “custom order”... seriously the stupidity is baffling, literally baffling... unless she personally engraved it for me, it’s a car.
Spoke with the manager and it boils down to he can’t make the price adjustment on his end and has done at the sales/dc level... call them and tell that I spoke with him and they can make the adjustment match me to the car and off I drive.
Call the sales guy. Doesn’t know how to do that. Tells me to call back and hit option 4 and hangs up on me. DC says they don’t know how to do that and can’t guarantee that it will go thru. Ill have to pay the increase.... and around we go.
So anyway... vin 640823 is sitting at Costa Mesa awaiting someone to click buy a take it same day while my 10/16 order is maybe in preproduction maybe not. No delivery set. text no vin on page
Unf***ing believable. This is hands down one of the dumbest and most aggravating transactions I’ve ever dealt with in my life.

Hmmm...
There really is no reason why they can’t assign another VIN to your order. So it boils down to one of two things: 1) They don’t know how, or 2) They just don’t want to.
I had a similar problem at Costa Mesa. There are two people who can resolve this problem for you (if they want to): Erin Carlson (Costa Mesa Associate Delivery Manager), and Adam Roda, General Manager at Tesla Newport Beach.
If you could get the two of them on them phone they could probably figure this out...that is if you can get them on the phone before someone else buys that VIN.
I can feel your frustration though. Yikes.
Wooooorth it!! All the headache and pain in the as*ness of this process I have to say, is worth it when you pick it up!!

Thanks for the contacts. Will try again tomorrow. I spoke with an Adam today, unfortunately didn’t seem like the right Adam.
Totally with you! We must be a pair of rocket scientists. Take the current VIN off my order... put this VIN on the order. Problem solved.
They definitely can match me to the VIN right away. They just don’t think they can get me back to my ordered price and yet somehow think that’s an acceptable solution.
Coincidentally, the reason no one has tried to match me to this car on their own is because now that it’s more expensive it’s somehow a different car.
Congrats! I can’t wait to pick up mine, but I might have to push back my delivery to Monday or Tuesday. Question about the Marina Del Rey DC since I’m picking up from there as well - are the cars kept indoors or outdoors? Thanks in advance!
Took delivery of mine today. Had them re-do the spoiler as there was some major gaps. I feel as though I need them to fix the rear bumper on the driver side as I feel you can see the clips where it connects. Anyone else had problems with that area?

That VIN is ready to go and not preproduction right? The existing inventory can be misleading as many of those aren’t actually built yet...
Way to go Kristina!! Ahaha awesome how you ended up getting your car faster than many of us.

Thanks! There were cars both indoors and outdoors, though I only saw people taking delivery outdoors.
