I have had a similar experience that others have described. Early last week, Tesla reached out to me and offered me the same configuration as I ordered except cream/wood rather than white/CF. This was the first time Tesla reached out to me in more than 8 months. I politely declined given my EDD is right around the corner. Then the Tesla rep said “hopefully you’ll get yours by the end of the fourth quarter”, which almost made me boil over, but I reminded myself that the poor guy calling me didn't really know anything, so I just let it go and said goodbye. I've never gotten this close to the EDD before (I was blank for the longest time), but I'm having a hard time believing it since I still don't have a VIN. I'd think that if I don't see a VIN in the next week or so, hitting a 10/5-10/25 EDD on the East Coast becomes impossible given shipping times.
