11/8 order, SR+, MSM, 19", black interior
Text last Monday asking me to pick a delivery date, I chose 12/30 at Costa Mesa. Text said car was scheduled to exit factory 12/27 and that I'd get the VIN 1-2 days before hand. As of 12/28 I still had no VIN, so I emailed The Costa Mesa delivery center and they said they had no updates for me though they said everything was still on track, but I was skeptical.
An hour later I had a VIN in my account so I figured maybe I'm back on track, but it seemed later than they promised by a couple days.
This morning I got a call from Tesla confirming my details and availability for delivery Sunday still. They said my car was just coming through the grapevine and that we were on track for 2pm still tomorrow. Huzzah! They did however seem confused about my dealer funding request from USAA, which I had already sent. But I sent it again to the guy on the phone and he acknowledged receipt and said that's all I'd need. For some reason I'm still worried there will be a hiccup with payment tomorrow, but maybe I'm paranoid.
Anyway, haven't been super thrilled with communication, or seeing people in these forums not get their cars as promised. It still seems like a lottery system no matter what the excuse is about configs etc...
BUT, I'll be picking up my car 7 weeks and two days after ordering, and I was only estimated 5-7 weeks for delivery, so it seems like they held up their end at least in my case. Had I not been on these forums I probably would have a better opinion of Tesla's delivery process since they met their promise to me. But I see all you good people who ordered before or around me still left with nothing, so I can't be blind to that. I just hope they do right by all you guys and do better the next time around...
