Got assigned a vin just now- older # - 2364XX. I texted the SA number and they said they “reviewed this vehicle and believe it has the matrix headlights”. I asked two follow up questions, asking what the build date was and why the older vin number, whether it was rejected or affected by the charge port. Response back was that ‘the build month was 4/2022 but don't have visibility to anything beyond that.’. So most likely either a charge port affected car, which would be no big deal if fixed, or a rejected car, which if that is the case would be a bummer.
Edited to add- confirmed Michelin tires as well. Didnt care as much about that but nice to have . . .
Before you roast me, yes i realize that I am responding to myself ;-) I am doing it just to keep the reference there for those that are tracking people as they work through the process . . . ;-)
This am woke up to my 3 day delivery window being bumped by the dreaded one day bump. At first i was worried I had entered the ‘charge port missing’ hell, but figured i would give it a couple of days. Then an hour later, i got THE TEXT - -‘Congrats, its your turn to schedule delivery!” Jumped onto the app, and had only two days as options, either Monday or Tuesday. A little rough, as i have to drive in from out of town, deal with PDX traffic, and take some time off work, but is what it is. So scheduled for 2pm Tuesday. Reviewed the rest of the app, and everything else was saying it was complete.
Much to my surprise, about an hour later, got a call from an unknown PDX number. Normally dont answer unknown numbers, but decided to take the risk. Turned out, it was the PDX Tesla dealership, and the guy was letting me know that the car had completed inspection, was ready for pickup. He then confirmed that I had completed all my tasks on the app, and then asked if I wanted to pick it up sooner???? Ummm whatt?? I asked if they were open on the weekends and he said of course, and scheduled me for TOMORROW at noon!!! WhoAH!
I went from the long wait/slog, to BAM car coming tomorrow. Still have to make it through my inspection, which I am doing PRIOR to finalizing the loan, but he said that was fine, I just needed to bring my ”Dealer Funding Request” form for the loan (Which i have all ready to go through USAA military bank), and he confirmed they work with USAA all the time and should be very simple process once i had checked out the car.
So will update you tomorrow- heres to hoping that the inspection goes smoothly and car/process will be complete with a new Tesla! We actually are in the position where although we are very excited to get the car, we can stand to wait If needed if there is a major problem, so trying to balance being crazy excited with realistic expectations as to the potential for issues, since we are picking up a slightly older vin/older build date car. Anyways woot!
