Damn, it took them a week to contact you after you received your VIN?

My M3 home delivery on 6/29 was pretty fast and smooth. The delivery expert went through the routine stuff ( how to lock/unlock doors, and start and park the car, how to open trunk and , then signed off the final delivery paper). The odometer shows 14 miles from Fremont factory. He took an Uber ride back to Fremont. The total time is 10 minutes. The car looks fine, no body gap panels, no scratches. I am pretty happy with my M3.

Nice! When did you reserve? Apr 1 2016?

Wonder why you got the home delivery, while I (in SF) was given the choice of Fremont or Sacramento. The car is nowhere here yet, but minor details

Wow. Loving the Tesla experience! With apologies to those whose experience has not been as seamless:

Reserved 12/13/2017
Config opened 6/27/2018 - early evening apparently. (Still never received a configuration email!)
Order placed 6/27 @10 p.m.
RWD- Blue- Aero - No EAP

Edit button removed 6/29 @10 a.m.
ISA email 6/29 @4:00 p.m. to confirm info and submit financing/trade-in
Financing application and trade-in evaluation submitted 6/30.
Financing approved a few hours later, with better interest rate than my bank.
Trade-in quote received 7/2 @11 a.m. - low end of "fair," on par with other quotes with tax savings factored in - accepted.
Call from ISA 7/2 @11 a.m. - delivery scheduled 7/6!

VIN 229xx

Confirmed with ISA that it will have Gen2 back seats. Other than that, I'm not picky. We live in the country; this car will get dirty, and we're going to drive the HELL out of it. If I can help Tesla out by taking a car that someone else rejected for some paint chips, scratches, or other cosmetic flaws, I'm happy to do it.

Yeah, I am beginning to think the delay is due to my location. They might have been preparing for home delivery vs service center delivery. Had to tell them I plan to pick up in Littleton.

Could also be to delay my delivery until after 06/30 as well.

 

[Stu Redman]

Got my delivery date today also. July 18, Vin 404xx at Eden Prairie, MN
4/1/16 res, FP, Pearl, Sport wheels, EAP

Just got my Vin 27xxx. Reserved 4/2, configured 6/28. Should I be careful when picking up the car with such low # of Vin?

Finally got my ISA on the phone. The reason for no delivery date is that my vehicle is currently on a train heading for Birmingham AL staging area. Should arrive there in a week or less. Left CA a couple weeks ago but I guess the train to a 'weird route' so it took awhile. Once it arrives in Birmingham he will schedule a delivery date that could be a day or two later or 5-6 days later, depending on how busy the delivery center is. The anticipation is killing me.

Ours are probably on the same train. My delivery is scheduled for 7/14, VIN 305xx

Yep. I've had my vin since the 17th of June. It should arrive in Birmingham within a week, couple of hour drive for me up to Nashville for my car and a bit longer drive for your vehicles to florida.

My delivery was Jul 10...received phone call it arrived early and can be picked up tomorrow, Jul 3.

Nice! I am now to waiting for my credit union and Tesla to exchange the necessary financing info. Hoping for pickup 7/7.

Now, what to put on the license plate....

How long between having signed the financing (or paid cash) and it arriving?

So... I wonder if there is a way to track commercial rail...

So... I wonder if there is a way to track commercial rail...

If its anything like car carrier ships then if you know the shipping company then the VIN might work as a tracking number. It works for tracking BMWs/MINIs across the pond. Worth a try if there is a way to get to the tracking for BNSF, Union Pacific, etc.

If you know which logistics company Tesla is using you might also be able to track with them.

EDIT: Looks like rail tracking is far more complicated than vessel tracking. Your ISA is probably the only way to track it.

Picked mine up mine today! Everything passed the functional inspection list.
There were a few scratches on the thing between the two front seats below the center console. I noted it but I do not know if i am gonna fuss over it, wife scratched it somehow (nails?) on the way home in a different location. Will for sure want to wrap that surface first chance I get. Why did they choose to use such a soft glossy material there? Its hopeless to keep it pristine.

Also had two small scratches on the plastic (not bumper) under the car near the rear, presumably from loading/unloading. Not gonna fuss at that one either they are very minor.

It only came with lightning and usb-c chargers. Wife and I are sticking with 2.5 year old SGS7s so we will have to figure something out.

Grinned much of the way home. It was a good ride. Lots of storage in the car, its shocking to see personally. Arrived with ~210 miles on the battery. Charging at 32 A is taking forever, its no cell phone thats for sure. Might spring for the HWPC or a juicebox or something.

 

[hjelmn]

And now I have a tentative delivery date: 7/11. Hopefully it gets there early.
