I found it odd, really that Tesla allows you to roll in winter wheels/tires into a lease. My DS said they can do the grey winters at the SC but I would have to pay for them separately. Since I didn't really care (and was honestly second guessing the grey wheels on my black car) I took the opportunity to consider this fate deciding for me.
Secondly... I'm really torn on adding a clear Xpel or similar considering I know I will only have this car for 3 years then trade in for something else once the lease is up... Maybe just hood, front bumper and mirrors?

That's weird. I thought getting a VIN was pretty much synonymous with getting into the production queue. And your order-dates are only a few days later than mine. Have you checked with the Tesla folks? Maybe "My Tesla" is lagging reality?Not everyone in Minneapolis is happy. Mine is still in purgatory ("confirmed")

It looks like the "Model S Specialist" has a little more visibility than the dashboard. Here is part of the e-mail that I got this morning asking to schedule a delivery time and if I needed to do anything else:
Yes, it moved into the main stages of production now and is currently in paint. I will be sending you the final paperwork and amount due shortly.

AutoPilot Nostradamus
I'm extremely skeptical of this statement. There may indeed be new TPMS on the vehicles but explaining when a hardware change went into cars based on VIN is nonsense. Cars are not produced in VIN order. Hardware changes are made based on when vehicles go through production. My September 2014 produced car was 56107, it did not have Autopilot hardware. I saw 55xxx in the parking lot at the Seattle Service Center that had Autopilot.
My September 2014 car (again 56107) had a small box from Continental under the front right wheel well just above the wheel. I believe this was a tire pressure receiver. But I don't think the vendor of this piece of hardware was new then.
I'm really wondering if this isn't just someone trying to explain that some sensors won't work and that you need specific ones on the Model S, not that the sensors have changed from previous Model S vehicles.
Hopefully, everyone can get some clarification from their DS on this.

Thanks for creating the new thread.
Back to the tracking topic. No reply yet from my DS. It's 12:18p eastern and my car is still in production... Beep. Refresh. Refresh.
Well I'm in a similar boat but my production had been complete since last Wednesday. My DS said he'd get back to me first thing yesterday. I emailed him around noon and he replied quickly saying he didn't have an update yet and that he'd get back to me as soon as he heard something. So far, nothing.
I don't know if this may indicate some kind of problem.
I also grew concerned when my car hadn't entered production yet, despite a tentative completion date early next week, around 12/8, so I emailed my DS. He told me that I was pushed back to completion during the following week of 12/15, which will probably jeopardize my initially planned delivery date of 12/22. So either they encountered some problems or the initial production schedule was too optimistic.

Meanwhile the website still quotes December delivery when you order today!
Ughh! You are killing me. I have been watching your production & delivery closely as your order/confirmation dates are closest to mine. I am still in the "queue" so I know my delivery will be after yours.
I'll cry like a little boy if I have nothing to open on Christmas!

Got the final MVPA from my DS, DocuSign-ed it and took care of the downpayment via ACH. Wow, that was easy!
Car's still "In Production" though so, am waiting on an update from the DS. Fwiw, the final MVPA has 12/10 as the expected delivery date.

I received mine also last night. My DS and I had already agreed on a Dec 30th delivery date about two weeks ago and it is still that date on the MVPA. I am still 'In Production queue'. I do not necessarily trust the home page for accuracy.
I'm crying already, because all the "December delivery" P85Ds are presumably ahead of us and progression seems to be slow. So far no 12/2 production starts on the spreadsheet! Doesn't bode well for us; maybe our cars will be on the same truck, they'll just drop off mine before yours. Good luck!
