VIN Assignment

[hjelmn]

Wow. It's a great thing I didn't know this existed when my car was in transit or my F5 key might be even more battered.

In any event, I'm a few miles from the Littleton location. Want me to go get it for you?

I got impatient waiting on the dealer to notify me the last time I order a car. Was able to figure that BMW uses United Road and knew the car was at the dealer before the salesperson knew

Not surprised that Tesla uses the same company.

Also, I am now picking up 7/7. Will have my Model 3 soon! Its been 2 years, 3 months, and 1 week since I put the deposit down.

Quick question... did you myTesla page update with a VIN or anything when it arrived a the delivery center?

My VIN just showed up today under the reservation number, seven days before my scheduled delivery date 7/13.

No, car didn’t show up on app until ten minutes before appointment. Guess they don’t want us testing Summons button...you know someone would.

This is a ****ing joke. Called the delivery center to try to get some information since my ISA doesn't return phone calls or emails anymore. After him promising on 3-4 different phone calls that my vehicle will be available the week of 9th of July, the delivery center told me the vehicle isn't even scheduled to finish the rail transit and arrive in Birmingham until the 15th of July, which pushes a pick to several days later or a home delivery around 21-23 if I wanted to do that route. Ridiculous that the transit time is 28 days when it takes 12 to go coast to coast. I am driving a rental vehicle with the plan to pick up the M3 in Nashville and drop off the rental on pickup day as I am working in Birmingham the entire week. Now I'm going to have to drive back from Birmingham (putting me at 5.5 hours away from the delivery center) and then either re-rent a vehicle or opt for a week longer home delivery....

Damn, that sucks. I would make sure Tesla knows your unhappy. They will likely keep that in mind when dealing with the logistics company.

more sales people need to learn that it's best to under promise and over deliver. As much as you may want to tell the customer what they want to hear, sometimes it's best to tell them what they NEED to hear.

I’m honestly not sure how as my ISA stopped returning my emails or calls 8 days ago after promising me that now the quarter had ended he would be a lot more accessible.

The app uses GPS and refuses to activate Summon if you're not in the vicinity of your vehicle. At least on a Model X. Honking the horn, on the other hand...

There may be delays for rail bound vehicles due to things like this : Los Angeles Business: Union Pacific suffers delays out of LA-LB ahead of peak season

I realize that Tesla isn't shipping out of LA-LB but if Union Pacific is having problems keeping up with rail demand, then that means everyone else probably is seeing increased demand too (as cargo will move to available transport from other companies).

Took delivery this morning. Looks awesome except for some road rash from the shipping. Tesla will fix it later. The car is amazing. Took a lot of effort to get myself to use autopilot (I write too much software to trust any) on I-25 but when I did it worked flawlessly. Put 441 miles on it getting it back to New Mexico stopping at the Trinidad (44 kW avg) and Las Vegas, NM (114 kW avg) superchargers.

Congrats! She is such a beauty!

Congrats! She is such a beauty!

Thanks! I was very sad to see road rash on the car but that is why everyone should go over their cars very carefully. If found quickly Tesla will make it right.

I just can't get over how great this car is. It was totally worth the wait!

 

[hjelmn]

Oh, and for those that don't already know. The mobile connector that comes with the Model 3 (and apparently any new S or X) only supports 32A charging. Not a big deal but it has me reconsidering the Tesla Wall Charger. The extra 25% on the charge rate might be worth the $500. Will have to see how often we leave the house without a full charge.

Or perhaps, Tesla just found the next bottleneck: delivery shipping.

My delivery is tomorrow and I didn't receive the final paperwork. My ISA told me she's not sure why the contract team didn't get it to me yet. She sent me something she called a draft.

^^ Never mind that, I just refreshed and see the MVPA for my delivery tomorrow and the pay button is available as well.

Looks great. I've only been waiting for my Red 3 for 12 days. How many days did you wait from Config->Delivery?

Wow that's quite a bit of road rash there. Sad to see on a new car.

That's hard to look at. Hopefully, they didn't cause any scratches and can be cleaned up 100%.
