Understood. But when you do the light show if you have the matrix headlamps it’ll spell out tesla right?

Gotcha. Just saying with teslas sporadic delivery times it may expire…just saying.
Really. Interesting…do you guys have something similar?In Canada we don't have Monroney stickers

Not sure but you can’t really see that unless it’s dark and headlights are shining against a wall. You need to accept delivery before you can open the doors so you can’t use the light show as a check anyways.

Is there any data on how long until VIN assignment once you’ve received a two week window?

It could change quickly, my April order is two weeks away from my 2 week window, moved up by 3 months... You never know.

Scheduled delivery for May 5
My insurance for my wife's 2018 Ford Escape was $58/ month. With the same deductible and coverages, the Tesla is $248/ month. I have a clean driving record for the most part. Not sure how much I was paying for the Ford truck. AllState agent referenced the cost to repair these vehicles if in an accident as the biggest reason for the high rate. I didn't want to delay delivery so I just added it to our existing policy but I'll definitely be shopping this week.
My new order is a stock one and I've gotten a vin and have been told it's shipped from Cali to Chicago eventually to Toronto. May 21-May 27. Can it still change alot?

Probably not for you, I meant to reply to the guy you replied to, my bad.
My SA said I can get in and look and play around with the screen and shifter to make sure everything is to my liking before I accept. If I’m being honest, I wouldn’t accept without being able to get in anyway. I’ve read horror stories about the screen having hairline cracks, stitching crooked on seats and headrests or dirty seats, glovebox broken or screen not responding.
I honestly think it’s all just sporadic man. I had a 2 week windows and even a one week window and it jumped back out by months then weeks later came back down.
Mine is 238xxx. Yeah seems like we have slightly older builds. But don’t worry, seems like the newer builds are the ones with old headlights. We may be in luck.
Yea that is the good part but at the same time I’m worried about it being a reject or something…maybe something is wrong with it. Idk, guess I just worry too much.
Note that after the hue and cry about dropping the mobile connector, they still dropped the mobile connector. And that was for an integral feature that was removed after being advertised to be part of the car. I think it will be difficult to get people particularly incensed about a change in feature level for stuff that isn't even advertised. Everything is still going to work on the car, but some features won't be as fancy as they might. How many people have even heard of matrix headlamps and what they can do? How many care enough that they will actually refuse the car?Again, i know its supply and demand, but it’s not fair to those who made the decision to get the car based on those “unmentioned” updates. Is it gonna sway people to reject? I dont know…but its kinda like the mobile charger….imagine if you ordered one in February and you didnt get one despite when you bought it…it was adverised as included…we need to make some noise like we did for the chargers and see what their response will be.
In the end, I think people will be disappointed, but will accept the cars. Forever after, there will be a bad taste in their mouth about Tesla (to one degree or another) that may or may not affect their decision to buy a Tesla in the future. I think that future purchase may be the greatest threat to Tesla. Compromising the good will of your buyers is never a bright move.
Not randomly, but based on the profit that Tesla will make. If you offer Tesla $1.00 to build a car for you and somebody else offers them $1.15 to build a car for them, Tesla is going to build the car for the $1.15 guy first. Tesla puts an electric vehicle on the road either way, but by building the $1.15 car first, they make more money, allowing them to build more factories, do more research, and so on.
I understand that but I was talking about the same configuration car so it is most likely the same $ amount.
Right. It’s not random in most cases (though others in this and neighboring states with exact same build did get theirs before me). I know it’s calculated. It costs Tesla more to deliver here, since I’m far from Fremont. I knew that going in, but it still sucks and made me feel better to vent to like minded folks on the forum.
Anyway, right after venting and right after feeling OK waiting longer in hopes of features getting added back (ie matrix headlights), of course…I received my VIN this morning (242xxx). So moral of the story: when you start to realize you might be better off waiting longer (maybe, but who knows what else might be missing next)…that’s when you finally get your VIN.
New EDD 5/17-5/21.Same configuration, ordered a week after you, also Chicago delivery. Maybe we will get lucky. As long as they have the Matrix headlights lol. What dealership you taking delivery from?
