Since you've been here since only Dec 21 I'll explain.
Right... as soon as I get my VIN I'll jump right on it.
Congratulations! Hope you see a VIN soon.
I think it requires 100 miles of manual driving. I could be wrong though.
Wait what? I thought SA's were like, the devil. I suppose I'll change my stance then.
Burbank SC is a 10 minute walk. I feel coddled.
The $2k discount should show up on your paperwork shortly before delivery. If you overpay, then you'll probably have to wait weeks or months for a refund.
No. But if you have to suddenly hit the brake hard or jerk the wheel strongly to get outta NOA, that'll count. Which happened to me a lot. I found myself tweaking the speed incessantly (NOA stalk) to try to prevent having to 'jam out' of NOA suddenly. At least in the city of L.A., it's excruciatingly difficult keeping a high score. I had to proactively and defensively to save my score, focus way way ahead-- get way out in front of potential hard brakes or following too closely's. Like when you're seeing a car shade into your lane, back off your speed RIGHT NOW before he makes his move into your lane. Because once he's in front of you too close(very normal and necessary often in L.A. traffic) your score is dinged big. You can't be on NOA non-Beta city streets for long since it's hardly developed at all. Most peeps won't want to be so intense on a drive, but if you want to be one of the Beta soldiers, then you gotta. In the end, it weeds out the ones that won't won't to handle this amount of perseverance. You gotta want to be that soldier.
I wonder how accurate that is. We ordered 3/3/21 - weve had a trade in on there since day 1......well last week we got bumped to March 23-31 - when they bumped us our trade disappeared. We called Tesla and he added it back (and all the paperwork we had previously uploaded- title, registration, pics, etc showed up) but then about 3 days later we got kicked back to July - BUT so did a bunch of ppl. But now I am wondering if its because they opened our app
Having factory ordered over 10 cars in my lifetime, I can tell you Tesla is amateur hour. GM and Ford have this down to a science. My last Corvette a 2022 C8 ordered end of July 2021. Order was accepted 1 week later. They have codes you can check to give you exact update of your status. You will soon get a "TPW" target production week. A few weeks before that you get a VIN. There are sources you can find out exact daily production. I was able to determine the day - and +/- the hour my car was produced. Sadly right now Tesla has no real competition. Otherwise, they would have to hire someone smarter than a fifth grader to manage production.
Many hundreds of pages back I speculated we could see 5 seats being built next since it’s the fewest parts of any of the X variants. If you’ve got parts shortages why not build the easiest version?
.
Have you ever ordered a higher volume car with an incredible demand surge like this in the midst of a pandemic with a myriad of supply shortages?
I believe that driving conditions like you described is exactly why Tesla wants to restrict the latest Beta updates to people that have less stressful and challenging regional issues. They would much rather roll it out to someone in Oklahoma with wide open roads and less congestion might initially be more friendly to Autopilot.
Is Tesla prioritizing the order outside of California first?
Probably next week the VINs will flood to CA customers only.
Since you're new here, no, California usually gets the highest priority - first productions go there, last minute quarters in order to boost numbers, along with a regular flow throughout.Get so excited seeing all those LR five seats getting vins! but still no vins from California (correct me if I am wrong).
