VIN disappeared?

[jasonmason]

I hoping tesla tells me they are bringing my car back to Fremont so I don’t have to do a new loan.

My red was 13036. I wonder if someone else ended up with that.

I'm also curious if it was really a wrong car wrong location situation or if it was wrong config per VIN (i.e. the factory painted 13036 Blue instead of Red)

Maybe the small fire they had on Tuesday in the paint section caused them to mess up the colors.

That’s possible, no I haven’t, and I called my credit union. Basically they said they have to wait for tesla to wire the funds back and then close out that loan and then after that I have to reapply and they warned that rates are not 1% higher and told me I prob won’t get the same rate... I’m going to ask my ISA to ask the finance manager at tesla to match the rate since this wasn’t my fault.

So basically I’m pretty annoyed at tesla right now.

Damn that really sucks man, I am sorry, Hope they take car of you and match the rate.

I am going to go scour the holding lot later today, maybe my car made it to SD but they found a major defect?

The Paint Fire was only seconds or minutes. They put it out without help from the Fire department. So probably effected only 1 or 2 cars and probably the same color cars.

I have seen at least 4 reported pulled VINs. Looks like 2 White and Red and a Blue. Also if we have 4 here the real event probably also hit 20 people that are not on this forum.

Don't expect this is caused by the fire.

I was being sarcastic lol, just trying to put a reason to the madness.

I was imagining a comical scenario where the fire affected one car so they took it off the line and then from then on all the cars were off by one in line because someone forgot to increment the vins or something.

whatever happened seems to have put a screeching halt to VIN assignments in the spreadsheet.

Not comical at all, sometimes the simplest problem cause the biggest effects. This could be real.

When did this happen? did you get a new VIN yet? sounds more like in the rush to get delivery out at the end of last month cars were shipped to the wrong place.

Just got a new VIN 90XX, should I be worried thet its like 4k smaller than my old one 131XX

Did your ISA contact you or did it just show up??

I wouldn't worry about the vin number, hopefully a lower number means its already waiting for you!

He has been MIA the whole day, I even called the main number earlier and "he was on the phone with another customer". He probably is afraid or has no good news for me haha.

 

[oripaamoni]

gotcha, I am now frantically checking the portal every other minute in hopes of a VIN. Good thing is it seems like its an automated process so even though my ISA is a scrub as well, sounds like he won't be slowing it down.

Yup did that too, they told me they will send an internal message to my ISA to call me. That was hours ago. I am now at the delivery center asking for an explanation....
