That guy is the worst photographer on the planet! Weird close ups and framing.

So did you schedule for sooner?? :-).

Hah, it's like one of those rare cases when an iPhone delivers a day before official release. I had than happen once! But just a possible theory.

Could also be they messaged all/most deliveries for today to say "reschedule" then got approval to start deliveries today, but only after they already rebooked? Or, could be a center that shouldn't have let it go. Either way, the slips suck. Hopefully we'll get a bunch of confirmations...

Guessing everyone with "Monday" deliveries scheduled got pushed, as I'm not seeing anyone going "I got mine!!".

Personal opinion it’s more likely how the agency works, no matter who is President. Government bureaucracy is a constant of space and time 😂

Sounds akin to the “recall” to fix the font size slightly a while back. Just tell people the estimate is just an estimate and deliver the vehicles lol. Seems a pretty red tape reason to need to hold things up. But, of course, that’s the government agency in action!

Pretty curious what is in this special firmware update that they would need to delay deliveries. Not like the car is gonna explode with “old” firmware, right?

Yup had my vin for a few days now as well. It’s weird that the app didn’t just prompt for the next step automatically. So I’m hoping the manual schedule holds up and not something they just slip because it shouldn’t have been done. Will find out in a few days!

Thanks for the tip! Worked for me too. Assuming, of course, they don't slip as they have with others. But scheduled for Wednesday! :).

Right on! Did they get back to you quick or take a while? What was your EDD window prior to scheduling?

Just looked up the specs of what I’m doing… Xpel XR Plus 70. Transmits 67% of visible light, and transmits 35% solar energy (heat). So it rejects 65% heat.

I edited my post as you were replying. Haha. I’m gonna go with a 70 (meaning transmits 70% visible light). But heat rejection is like 50-60% if I remember the specs. I do the same film all the way around.

I tinted my current M3s roof and plan on doing this one too. I think cracking shouldn’t be an issue with a good quality film. Bad films (just colored, not containing metal, ceramic, whatever the current technology is these days), could cause excess heat absorption and cracking. But if you get a...

Gotcha. Just checked. for mine it's the same phone # on Tesla's website. Maybe my local showroom (in Arizona) just forwarded all their calls to the national line and is ignoring the phone. Thanks for the tip though, was a good plan! Just foiled in my case.

Pretty sure they'll just re-evaluate your vehicle and give you current value for it. But, you could always re-check with all the other places and see their offers. You could time the drop-off/pick-up to Carvana for example for the day after you get your new car. Provided you didn't need the...

How do you even get a phone # that works for the local showrooms? I've tried calling mine (phone # on Tesla's website), but the phone just goes to a national answering system. And then when I finally get to options to talk to a human, it gives me a recording "We're sorry, we are currently...

Would also love to see deliveries start!

I recall having googled that a while back and seeing it is POSSIBLE (at least pre Highland), but you have to go into some secret programming menus to tell the car you have it. And, presumably, tell the old car it is no longer there. Sounded like more work than simple plug and play automatic...

Love your self-portrait in the driver's seat! Haha

From your message earlier today, you have (had?) the exact same EDD window I do (May 15-24). Hoping your getting the VIN is a good indicator for mine soon too!!

Are you selling your current and banking on the Tesla EDD being accurate? Hope you know those EDD dates swing wildly!

Congrats! Did you get a notification or just checked the App and saw it under "Vehicle Details" or something? My EDD currently shows yesterday (May 14) as the start. I've noticed mine don't update until 7am my time (Arizona/Cali time are the same this time of year). Wondering if your window...

Tesla also sells a Homelink module you can buy one time and it’s just a local remote that can trigger the door. That’s the route I’m gonna take myself. Personally I find the lack of it being included in a new car that’s 50k kind of silly for them to save a few bucks on.

I don't get why they're even shipping "showroom only" vehicles to the service centers as a Demo-you-can't-drive. Fill the backlog first, then worry about convincing people to make new sales by being able to sit in and touch it. I can't imagine the utter abuse a demo M3P would go through. The...

A rivet in the accelerator pedal, like the Cybertruck? Haha

Pretty much the local sales people know nothing more than the same rumors we read. But that's pretty bad they didn't at least understand the lineup of models!

Mine just changed in an interesting way. Was: May 11-25 Now: May 12-24 Was expecting the start to slip (since it was yesterday), but the end pulled up a day. Won’t believe anything until a VIN but was just an interesting change.

Their sidebar says Southern California. Which checks out for Tesla doing "close" deliveries on the early side.

My eye SUCKS admittedly for spotting.. But around 7:14 in the video, the white car in a row all by itself, is that a rear spoiler? I think I may have seen a few others around the 6:30+ point too. Putting in perspective though, I mistook Y's for 3's in a previous video even though they were...

No complaints there for me! In the end, they did me a favor delaying white interior, so they could announce the Performance while I waited. LR->P switcharoo person here.

You could get shafted together! lol. My EDD starts tomorrow, I’m expecting it’ll push back on the end date, not just day by day slip on the start. But maybe I’ll be pleasantly surprised. With a few people saying VINs started, that’s a leading indicator.

For those people who have said you're not only able to make the final payment, but you have made it, I'm curious.. Why the rush to hand over $50k+ to a company for something they likely haven't even built yet? Just seems like a lot of "give" on your part without any tangible benefit. Not...

Most likely yes. But 🤞 soon for real!

Kind of a shame keeping it inside and not being driven, tearing up the road! Thanks for the pics though, it does look great! Any opinion on seat comfort of the P seats vs standard?

I suspect they're gonna take lessons they're learning from the non-P's and apply it to P's. Most of the car's Exterior/Interior is pretty much the same. Stuff like LED strip alignment, etc is likely pretty common between P/non-P. Same for sound proofing. On the other hand, different...

Hope it holds up for you! Mine's holding (for now) at May 11-20 or something like that. Zero chance for the early part of the window (3 days away), but I feel the middle/end part are at least theoretically possible.

I never went there before. Although mine just says it’ll have a location once scheduled. Interesting you’ve got one.

Where are you seeing a Delivery Location? My app doesn’t show anything like that

Would definitely recommend assuming EDDs are "random dart at a dartboard" values. They change fairly often, swinging by months at a time. Once people start getting VINs, then maybe they'll be more reasonable guesses. So that first batch of people getting VINs (whenever that happens) will be...

When you say you got a date... Do you mean your app is showing "Delivery Scheduled for June 7th", or that an advisor looked on their screen and says "We think June 7th"?

EDD slipped to later for me today. Was May 4th (Yesterday) to 18th. Now May 11-25. I do appreciate the obvious honesty with the start of the window. If they day-by-day slipped the window start, it's not realistic. Delays suck, but at least it's believable being a week out for the start and...

Thanks for the clarification. Thought I heard 30 but as I didn’t do them myself, I could totally be misremembering what I heard on it.

I think you’ll find the general consensus online is to wait. EDDs swing wildly and financing terms expire in 30 days. Then you’d have to reapply.

I think there's been some reasonably good evidence they do prioritize repeat customers for earlier deliveries. In the early days of Model 3, they 100% did, even announced that those with Model S/X previously could jump the queue and get a 3 quickly. Personal opinion: It's the monkey. My EDD...

Wowza, same-day VIN and Delivery! Living near the factory clearly has some nice advantages :).

Highly suggest waiting to reapply until you get a VIN. Otherwise, could expire again, each being a hard pull on your credit.

Thanks for the info! And ouch at that nearly $450/tire. I knew they were gonna be pricier, but sheesh!

Stupid question (I have "wheel blindness" in that I see tires as round things, and that's about it).. Is there a huge difference between the 19s and 20s that it's such a talking point? From what I gather, 20's not good on snow/ice, nor dealing with potholes. As I live in Phoenix (snow/ice not...

Love hearing White Int is being delivered!
