VIN Guidance

TESLA VIN ASSIGNMENT GUIDE

I have conducted a guide on how to get a general idea of when we will all get our Teslas. This is from personal experience and some tips on what to do while you guys are in the waiting rooms.

General Rules:

1. Your EDD month when you click to purchase is usually the most accurate time frame in when you'll receive a vehicle
2. Go to the SPREAD SHEET and look for people in your area with similar order dates and watch when they get alerts (EDD Changes, Vin assignment) and add/subtract the difference in days to guesstimate when you'll receive your alerts.
3. Go to forums and keep an eye on others order dates with updates to their orders to get an understanding of how long the process takes in your region (West coast or East Coast)
4. If you receive a trade in text that is usually a good sign since its just confirmation that youve been waiting a while so hopefully youre close to your VIN assignment
5. The more uncommon your combination is, the longer the average days will be until VIN is assigned.

MAJOR Rules (as told by multiple SA's):

1. East coast will get their VINs typically 7-10 business days before their EDD window
2. West Coast will get their VINs typically 1-3 Business days before their EDD window
3. You want to see your EDD window shrink (1 Month > 3 Weeks > 2 Weeks > 1 Week > 3 days > Delivery Date)
4. Complete your profile (it should say "View" in your tesla app)
5. Cash Option to avoid delays in order to remove any delays

Think I bucked the trend:
OD: 2/14
EDD1: June
EDD2: may 15 - jun 12
EDD3(mar 8): July!
EDD4(mar 11) March 28- 31
EDD5(mar 14) July 11- September 5

Went from 3-day window to 3-months

Any idea how many people are waiting for their model X delivery?

No clue, but you can check here. Model X: Ordering, Production, Delivery. There is also a MX tracking spreadsheet

Does anyone have a copy of the MX spreadsheet that you could send me? I would really appreciate it. Thanks.

Does anyone have the real story on whether the YLR delivering to NY (my EDD is July 25-Sept 5) will come out of Texas and have the new 4680 Battery Pack? I read somewhere that those batteries are only going in Standard Range Y's to start. Thanks

Ok, I guess that's for people that didn't set up a trade in when they initially did their order. I submitted my trade in info right away and received an offer the next day thru email

I tried to do that when I ordered my Model 3 LR a couple of weeks ago. They said my delivery was too far in the future, as trade in value is only good for 30 days. I have completed as much of my pre-delivery tasks, but jt saw that my delivery window went from July 22-Sept. 2 to Aug. 20-Oct. 15. Arrgh! Maybe I'll get it as a Christmas present...

Ordered M3LR Fri May 27 and lucky for me, the SA said they had an unassigned VIN in a different color being delivered ~mid-June. Ever since the VIN was assigned to me the EDD has been in this format <today's date> to <4 days from today>. Should I just listen to the SA and ignore the app?
