When I got my X in late 2018, Tesla did the registering (via a 3rd party company). It took forever, I was on my 3 temporary tags then the tag finally came in.
Now they have changed TX to a self registering state.

I'll keep sending emails - I tried calling but I was online for 45 minutes and no one every picked up. Seems like Dallas is ON IT!
Just received an email from my local sales associate - truck made it to Austin today from Arkansas, Doing inspection and should be able to collect tomorrow...we'll see.

You shouldn't have sent "your" truck through Hill billy Country then... We take what we need 'round these parts. 
Good luck to y'all on your deliveries! Hope they go as well as most of the rest of us did.

Welp, I suppose my second scheduled delivery appointment for tomorrow afternoon isn't going to happen either - Tesla site has now lost my VIN and delivery date, and reverted back to the 'We will reach out to schedule your delivery date' verbiage. They tried to lower expectations when I asked for a status update last week - now I'm curious when they'll actually let me know.
As a reminder, this is an order from unveil night - 3/14/2019 - not one of those 'ordered in May and still waiting!' sob stories

Okay,
So I placed my order for a Grey/LR/White Interior/Induction Wheels on July 28th. I'm located in Dallas, and received and email and had a chat with a delivery advisor in Las Vegas.
The advisor expects that I would get a Vin in late August or Early September. I told her that I plan to finance and that I'm waiting closer to the delivery date when I'll reach out to a lender for a loan.
Just kind of sitting here in Limbo waiting I plan to reach out to Alliant, but I'm not sure what the final penny amount should be for the loan since interest is not included in the final calculation w/ Tesla.
Should I just make the call and pass along my Motor Vehicle Order Agreement?

You likely won't be able to get far in financing until you have a VIN assigned, and should be careful not to get qualified for a loan (i.e., have a credit check pulled) too early, as those usually expire within 30-60 days depending on lender (and you might have to get qualified again, and have a second credit inquiry impacting your score).
That being said - interest is never a factor on the loan amount; your loan amount just needs to be the amount payable to Tesla (minus any deposit / down payment you plan). The loan amount is how much you're originally financing - interest gets charged on top of that, which means if you pay over the natural term of the loan you will pay a good chunk more than the 'loan amount'.
(replying to myself, but for the benefit of other waiting...)I wonder if it is the same truck going to Houston and Austin, or if Auston stole "my" truck driver
My Red/White/19" LR Y (VIN 323xx) has arrived at the North Houston service center. Taking deliverY on WednesdaY.
I was going to reply to your previous post. I called them about three times within the past ten days, and today was the first time that someone picked up. A few minutes before closing, ironically. Will said it was still waiting for transport from Arkansas.
Congrats! Glad to see other HTX deliveries. I figured our cars would be together since there were a few of us whose delivery date got pushed from last week to this week. Look for it during your delivery Wed. Blue/White 20" LR VIN 324XX
I received the text message today telling me to "Get ready for your Model Y! watch these videos"
What is the time frame between when you received that text and when they called you to pick up the vehicle? Trying to see if that text comes automatically once the vehicle is delivered to the dealership or if its 72 hours before your scheduled delivery
(aka I have an appointment on friday but I am impatient and want to see if I might get it sooner)

When did you go? Their website says they're currently all closed. I'm just going to wait and do it later.
Effective July 13, 2020

Picked up Red/White,LE,19” just now.
Paint is good, only a few spots inside the door jams. They were even marked up. Guess they forgot to fix them.
Right headlight misaligned slightly. Same for the right door.
Nothing major that stops me from accepting it.
I also got miniature 3:

They called me earlier today and said the car is still in transit, but is a day delayed. They pushed the delivery back from 8/7 to 8/8. I wonder if "in transit" = "it is here, but we need to change out the wheels"
