The transition from almost 40% WA VINs to 0% is still jarring. But it is only one day, so I will try to remain positive.

Only 20/73 self-reported VIN assignments in the last 2d have been for WA. Multiple Canadian reservations have VINs now.

Of course the actual percentage depends on when you sample...

For example, here's a look at the distribution on 5/2 (sorry for the similar colors), IMO 35% is close to 40%:

It still says more that the rate dropped to 0%.

FWIW, it's actually 44% WA over the course of 4/29 to 5/2:

My delivery got scheduled. So:

Ordered 4/10
VIN 5/1
Delivery in Bellevue 5/9 (hopefully!)

Red / Aero / Fully loaded

 

[ChadS]

I have exactly the same config as zmarty:

Ordered 4/6
Vin 4/30
No notice of delivery yet (not that I am in a hurry - well, other than to beat the 5/31 deadline)

I'm assuming you already checked your email ? They are not calling anymore, just emailing.

They emailed me a day after assigning VIN.

I never got an email to configure or for the VIN. First email was to schedule delivery. You need to be checking your account frequently, I hear each 1,000 logins moves you up 4 minutes in the queue!

Haven’t looked at this thread for a while, since we were able to take delivery April 17 and get the sales tax exemption.
Just wanted to report back that we had previously put our model three on hold because we are waiting for the all wheel drive.
We pulled the trigger on March 9, the day after it became apparent that the legislature wasn’t doing anything this year to extend it.
Absolutely no regrets…
The car is amazing. I’m so glad we didn’t wait for the all-wheel-drive, with or without the exemption.
Second best car I’ve ever driven next to my Model S 100D Including every Model X I’ve ever driven.
So if you’re waiting for an all wheel drive and worried about pulling the trigger I’d say don’t worry. You can always buy a winter tire package which would probably get you a safer car in the snow than an all wheel drive Model 3 with stock tires for a lot less.

Funny thing. So they assigned me a person in California that contacted me by e-mail. After the first e-mail I did not hear from them. Then out of the blue this morning somebody else calls me... some regional person.

So I guess once you finish all steps they might pass you on to somebody else for the actual delivery date confirmation?

So I think we're saying the same thing then, just in different ways - latest data clearly shows that they are NOT making WA a priority anymore. Today's VINs are almost exclusively for CAN reservations (which pisses me off even more, since some aren't even day 1 reservations...).​

 

[UZJedi]

Well, I'm scheduled for delivery.

4/15 - invite and config
5/1 - VIN
5/19 - delivery (scheduled on 5/4)
Red / Aero

My financial estimate included the tax exemption. I'd say that's a good sign.

 

[MarkBrokeIt]

Was that the earliest available slot, or the earliest you can do?

Anyone know where Bellevue deliveries happen? Not sure if it's Bell Square or in the service center thing (which I think is over by Harbor Freight?).

 

[UZJedi]

The earliest slot, according to my ISA, was 11am on the 19th. I took a time later in the day. This is for the Bellevue location on 20th. When I spoke with her two days ago, there were still slots on the 15th. Seems to be filling up relatively quickly.

I drove a friend to pick up his 3 today. There were 6 cars in the 5pm delivery group.

His vin is 179xx.

Out of curiosity, how many miles were on his car? My Tesla account says there are 50 on my 168xx VIN.

Mine had 10, but the paperwork said 50 just to be more that any possible actual miles.

wonder what the issue was with how they were recording numbers back to last september. They adjusted UP nearly 600 with these new numbers (between Sept-Feb).

The red numbers on the left were the previously reported monthly numbers, running total on the right.

Edit - fixed number...

The document says, they were not counting Leaf '18, Model 3 & Pacifica, which they fixed.
