I would wait for your VIN. The forums are full of people burned by this exact situation. Someone here has applied five separate times only to be delayed each time and have had a credit pull for nothing. Auto loans are quick and easy to close, you can often have it done in 24-48 hours. So wait until you have a VIN.
This was essentially my thought process. I don't need AWD. I don't need the extra speed. The range benefits are wasted on my commute. I prefer the LFP chemistry. When I ordered, the $10k premium for AWD did not seem to be a good value. A lot of people will tell you to buy the AWD or P if you can afford it... you won't regret it. I would rather invest the difference in something else if I don't see the value.
Thank you, I will totally wait for the VIN. I just don't want to get credit and have to do it all again because of a delay.
Make sure you change your payment option to "cash", leaving it unanswered may prolong your wait for a VIN. Tesla can change it so you can select finance if you wish to do so after you get your VIN!
), we gave our VIN to our son who had ordered the same exact car after us. Now we're back in queue since the 25th of March. It took an exact month from OD to DD and now the wait looks longer as I think we were part of the Q1 push. Anyway, our financing runs out on April 30th so, as we get closer to not making that deadline, how soon can I switch to the cash option while we wait for our new VIN? Being that we financed through Tesla, does the finanacing have to expire before we can switch or can it be done a few days before expiration?I am in similar situation. I did not do the downgrade but I ordered the M3RWD after ordered a MYLR. I was back and forth between M3RWD vs M3LR. I got great feedbacks based on my needs as a commuter. I would always use the MYLR for a long trip.
I think you can call your SA and do the switch. I was in the same situation but let the finance period expire before resubmitting another application.Because of some slight body damage at delivery that my wife wouldn't accept (
Los Angeles, CA (Pick-up Buena Park)Have any folks on here received EDD updates this week (let’s say since Sunday)?
Trying to pass the time and find any correlation between trim level, color, and wheel choice. For example do all RW MSM Aero get updates on the same day? Or same week?
Also curious to see that Tesla website shows Jun-Aug delivery for new orders RW and LR and P. Probably nothing but maybe something

I checked this morning(4/6) and it was still at 4/28-6/2. As I was reading @Drew_in_Tx post, I check the website, and an updated EDD was shortened by 5 days,
Seems like the "factory gate" mentioned by @rudythecar is justifiable. If, IF, my car has a factory gate of 4/24 as previously specified, I can get it by 4/28 due to my proximity to the factory. I doubt it as deliveries tend to go from east to west during each quarter.
