I GOT A VIN!! Ordered 11/21/20 white exterior, black interior , 5 seater, 22s, and FSD. I then changed to cream interior and 6 seater in July/August. VIN is 7SAXCBE54NF328. Should be taking delivery in Wayne, PA once I get a date. I got so excited when noticing my VIN in the app I got teary eyed 😂.
What was your EDD in app? TBD or January?
 
I’m really excited seeing all the VINners from my cohort of orders (December 2020). But I’m beginning to think Tesla has something against me, personally. I’ve had zero movement in several months (no changes to order page), and I live 20 minutes away from Fremont. :(

About every 100 pages or so, I feel the need to rant. Last time @TWENT2 talked me off the ledge. I am feeling the need again…

Back in 2012, I put a deposit on an early Model S. Had all the upgrades and one of the highest price tags. Got cold feet, cancelled order, bought a Dodge Challenger (as he turns away to avoid being slipped silly by every TMC member simultaneously..). Six months later, sold the Chally, re-ordered the Tesla and called Tesla to ask about my place in line. My SA (I still remember his name. He was great) told me that if I re-order the same configuration, I would essentially jump in line to where I would have been had I never cancelled (ie, I’d jump the line cause I was buying a high margin vehicle). That’s exactly what happened.

It seems that Tesla has been following this bull*sugar* practice ever since: prioritizing delivery of the highest margin cars over RN, order date, etc. Fast forward to 2021. Sold my MX to buy Refresh. Ordered pre-refresh. Got really frustrated and took it out on my SA. He called my bluff and cancelled my pre-refresh order. So, I had to re-order (this time in May), lose my place in line and my $2k savings for ordering pre-refresh. Major kick in the rocks. At time same time I ordered the MX, I ordered a Plaid MS. May order. June delivery. Again, high margin first.

Until now!!!! After waiting for about a year for this damn MX Plaid, Elon decides to: 1. Not go nuts trying to crush EOQ deliveries, and 2. Appears to be doing the right thing by actually assigning VIN’s in a fair and sensible manner - based on order date! Since technically, my active order is May (I assume my January cancelled order is wiped from the earth), it looks like I may be waaaayyy back in line. That’s not even considering the offhand comments by a few SA’s at the delivery “event” that cast doubt on the Plaid seeing the light of day any time soon.

Dammit!!!

OK. I’m done. Kind of like throwing up and suddenly feeling better. Except I don’t feel that much better.

@EV_LIFE, I need some of your good vibes. @TWENT2, some of your good sense.

Thank you.

I feel the same way. I’m with you, my friend.

Now take a shot of Teslaquila
 
I think we should all (6 seater holders) get a vin in December if not delivery and here’s why

- 5 & 7 seaters won’t be produced until later

- plaid wont be produced for a while

- some people didn’t want to convert to a 6 seater

All of those factors combined + assuming you ordered semi early jan/feb, should put us in a good fast place.

Its no way that many people should be in front of us at this point. Not sure which seat configuration is sold least but I’d think the 6 since it cost more so yeah thats my thoughts. Just tryna stay hopeful lmao 😂 🥺
