We were at 100 for about a week with about 300 miles when we got into the beta program.

Hey @ContrarianDC How many days and miles were you at score 99 when you got in?

Hey @madlurker - how any miles had you racked up at score 100 when you got in?

To wrap up this topic, just wanted to report back that I got the car a couple days ago. Woo Hoo! The conclusions based on my experience are: * After the initial slip from mid-September to mid-October, my estimated delivery date (ignoring the wild spikes) was actually pretty stable and not far...

I'm in the IT / Software industry, and I was not at all comfortable entering my bank credentials for payment. Instead Tesla said I could use a cashier's check at delivery. I dropped the check off at my local Tesla shop early for good measure since it's next to my bank. This felt *much* safer...

Decided to extrapolate my slipping EDD. Results are not encouraging. See extrapolated blue EDD on the graph below. It looks like there is a pretty constant "slow walk" slip. If that's real, my delivery date is probably around early January, even though the earliest EDD (reported just last week)...

The key thing I'm learning here is that EDD is very chaotic - bouncing all over the place, both in and out. If waiting for other changes is attractive to you, then contacting Tesla might be a good idea. But bear in mind Tesla does not follow the conventional "model year" approach that other...

My EDD hopped way out for a few days then came back essentially to where it was. Of course YMMV. Also if the price has gone up you’ll be on the hook for the difference as well as any price difference in options.

On the issue of when we can / should show insurance, the "manage" page section on insurance says "Your Tesla VIN must be listed on your policy in all but these states" and then in the pop up list of states (which doesn't include Colorado where I live) it says "Proof of insurance is required to...

Ok, as predicted, my delivery date did come back in, but only partly. Specifically it's back to what it was before plus 2 additional weeks. What's very concerning now is that the estimated remaining time to delivery is growing, not shrinking. My EDD is in a worse than day for day slip. At this...

Thanks all for the calming inputs! Good advice, indeed. @Chemios - Good question about my order date. It's a tiny bit complicated. I ordered 7/16 and then decided to make a change on 8/4. (Dammit! Should've stuck with my gut and ordered red in the first place!) After a little bouncing around...

My estimated delivery date had been steadily mid-October to first week of November for a while. Now, today, it's estimated as "January". (Please pardon me a moment while I step away to vent my feelings at something less expensive than my computer ....) Ok, back now. Is anyone else seeing a...

Sorry to hear - that sucks. Did sentry mode capture the incident? If so, your insurance company might pursue damages against them to pay for your repairs.

I got a chance to test drive a 2017 S today. Ride quality in the S was noticeably better than the Y, but amenities (console, phone charging, etc.) and especially rear seat room are better on a new Y.

<Sigh> I was worried something like that might be the case. So if I want my Y to look like the Mazda above, it would mean a complete new (very expensive) paint job. Yes?
