Texas Hold Up!

[jdirik]

North Houston not as helpful, didn't even indicate they could do that. Did they also tell you your ship date from CA. Wondering if cars were on the same load though I paid by cash by cashiers check on July 23rd. I was told it was shipped on Aug 9 but it's not clear from where.

Just looked at the Tesla Factory on Google Earth, they had two separate sets of rail spurs for loading cars onto trains... until they tore them out in 2016 and 2017. Smart.

Not sure when it left CA. I believe it was last in Richmond before it left the state on rail car.

I can confirm that a whole bunch of cars are waiting in the BNSF hub near Alliance Airport, based on my talk yesterday with a manager at Cedar Springs. They use Chicago, OKC and Fort Worth to stage the cars now.

This is the same information I received from them on Friday when I was checking on my car.

No problem. When I called my delivery center (Cedar Springs), I asked the rep to ping the car for its location. I did this for about a week and tracked it on rail. It was stuck in Amarillo for three days before it arrived in Fort Worth on Aug. 21. I paid cash for the car on Aug. 9.

That's interesting, when I called Cedar Springs on 8/25 the rep told me he doesn't get the status of the car's location and he doesn't know the status of the transportation until the car shows up at the DC.

This is where Tesla really rubs me the wrong way, you can ask the same question to 5 different people in that company and get 5 different answers. A f'ing SOP would be nice…

Have you posted those VINs?

These were delivered Sat to North Houston:

 

[mmcdonaldok]

So....now my VIN has changed on their website. Originally it was JF035665 now its JF051058. My delivery dates have now changed from having a date of 8/21/ then 8/24 which didn't happen and now show Aug 18 - Oct 18. Does anyone know how to see anything more about these? The first number never showed up in the United Road site, and the last 8 of the other tie to a mercedes in WI so that's not the right car.

I just stopped by the Austin service center this morning to have my car serviced and there were about 4 or 5 Model 3s that they were unwrapping. Hopefully they belong to some peeps here.

Just in case anyone isn't getting the United Road updates for Pond Springs location.

So my ISA called my wife this morning and our car arrived in Houston today. He is trying to get us rescheduled to pick it up early.

@Charlesc83 Do you know if it arrived via United Road or another carrier? Just wondering....

Our VIN number does not pull up on United Rd ! But The car according to Tesla stranded in Oklahoma for almost a month now . How can I join their updates for Pond springs deliveries? Any help is appreciated

Is it on the list I posted above? This would further reinforce the "siloed" aspect someone reference earlier, and also what I experienced.

Your car probably arrived a [business] day or two ago, but the delivery team doesn't know that (or isn't allowed to say) until the back-of-shop prep team checks it in or otherwise clears it for delivery.

Enter the last 8 of a vehicle shipped to pond springs. Try JF050621 or one of the numbers I posted today and you will get a register button.

Congrats and good luck on the delivery. Will they arrange a Lyft ride for you from Beaumont?

@Charlesc83 can you confirm: your car was stuck in Oklahoma but has now arrived in Houston?

Was your VIN in the list posted by @LonestarV ?

 

[Charlesc83]

@amietk @LonestarV it must have arrived by another carrier instead of United Road but my car was not on any of the past three days of Houston North manifests. @ScottStout yes my car arrived in OKC from Chicago by way of United Road on 8/10/18.

How can we figure out if any of these Pond Spring deliveries came from Oklahoma ? It just states the origin & the destination

 

[iceraven]

It also appears Dallas Cedar Springs received a shipment today (including mine, which isn't scheduled for delivery until 9/8 after being paid for 8/23).
