I got the best offer from local dealer. Gave me $1,000 more than Carmax, $1,500 more than Tesla, and $2,800 more than Carvana.

September 2021 Order Delivery Dates
- Thread starter scoobybri
- Start date
That reminds me...need to call my insurance company lol.
Exactly, I got a VIN 3 days before you and your car is supposedly arriving this weekend and mine not until middle of next week? In addition to worrying about a delay, I could easily see my car showing up with yours this weekend and then being notified I have 3 days to pick it up, take it or leave it. Either arriving way early or a delay would be a pain in the arse.
It's now my turn to say .. I GOT MY VIN.. but i dont know how to check when it's manufactured .. any idea how to find it? i read some other thread Tesla even sold someone who reject for a reason and return back to customer.. i would like to make sure mine is recently built.. here is my VIN
7SAYGDEE3NF434XXX
7SAYGDEE3NF434XXX
So I called that number and he said that everything looks like it should be arriving on time and that I shouldn't have any delays with my 5/7 delivery. He mentioned there is some leeway so even if it got slightly delayed I should be ok...which makes sense has I had the option of taking delivery on the 5th. He didn't commit to an exact date it was arriving though...implied early to mid next week.
Apparently the car gets transported across country to NJ via train...train part usually has no delays. And since it doesn't need to go far from NJ to Mt. Kisco he doesn't expect any issues.

friends.. i need some suggestion.. i am in a situation where i am going to out of country when my delivery is currently scheduled.. i am going to see my family after 3+ years.. i may give up this VIN and put my reservation on HOLD and lift the HOLD in mid of june. will i be pushed to current waiting list ? or get new VIN within few weeks.. please share your suggestion..
I have sold through Carvana before...was very easy and simple process. I plan on doing the same with my current car.
Out of curiosity I did the KBB Instant Cash offer yesterday. Was a little higher than the Carvana offer. A Volvo dealership reached out to me and I just brought it in for an inspection. After which, he said because of some rust on the roof (11 year old car, otherwise car is in great shape) they couldn't do the full KBB Instant cash offer. His offer was about $4k less...which was even less than Teslas trade in offer.
I am not going to bother going around to any of the other dealerships...the price difference between Carvana and KBB Instant cash isn't big enough to deal with that hassle. Plus I got the feeling they only really want you to come into the dealership and aren't really interested in giving you full value KBB instant cash offer.
He tried to scare me away from using Carvana...says they won't honor the offer and will change it...blah, blah, blah. Maybe true but the dealership that I bought my wife's car from tried the same scare tatics and we sold her car via Carvana and it couldn't have been easier. Got about $4k more than what that dealership was offering for a trade in. I also know other people that used Carvana and were very satisfied with the experience like I was.

This is great info, thanks! Sounds like you'll catch that Yankee game with your son!
re: the leeway, maybe it is arriving this weekend then? I'm going to message my original contact person when I ordered who works at Mt. Kisco, see what else I can find out.
If you hear anything new please pass it along. Also, update us when you finally get a text to schedule a delivery date. Still surprised you haven't received one with sounds like you could be getting your car next week.
Well mine is NF426XXX and I was told 04/20 as the date, so your has to be recent and cannot be a reject. You can call up your advisor or DC if you need to know the manufacturing date before delivery.
From what I was told, since you were already assigned a VIN this would be your first VIN rejection and you cannot reject the second otherwise your order gets cancelled. Also, with such high demand, they are getting strict on putting order on hold. If this would be your first hold, you might be good, but I would suggest getting it in writing from Tesla. I know of an instance where a friends MYLR7 order was cancelled because he put it on hold the second time for travel. (Earlier this year they started sending emails to folks who had put orders on hold to remove it or order would be cancelled automatically).
Still not updates yet... depressing... while everyone gets their VINs & enjoy their summer, time for me to go back to the cave and cry.
So I just got pushed again!! Yesterday I had 4/28 - 5/7 and as of this morning 5/9 - 5/23. This would be my 8th EDD Window....very frustrating.
LR / 5 seater / MSM / w Tow / 20in Wheels / NO FSD (OD 9/17/21)
LR / 5 seater / MSM / w Tow / 20in Wheels / NO FSD (OD 9/17/21)
My "build" is a MY-LR5 with blue exterior as the only option (i.e., Blk interior, no tow, no FSD, std. 19 wheels, etc.). My order date and profile completed on was 9/30/21 with no holds.

I have a VIN and haven't gotten that text/email yet. Been a few days but my EDD is 5/9 - 5/13 so I have some time.
Haven't heard anything, was told my car was affected by the part shortage and they're hoping to have them there soon. That was the extent of it though
