Looks like they took a pic of VIN 628 ... not 648.

I am so glad that you mentioned the safety inspection. It is something that is always done at the Texas dealership...and the owner doesn't even think about it. So...I'll have to get it right after delivery. Tesla is taking care of my registration with DMV for me. They have requested a copy of my driver's license and insurance card from other vehicles so that they can get it registered for me.

I got an e-mail from my delivery specialist today stating that he was incorrect. Tesla cannot take care of my registration for me. Oh well....that was maybe too much to expect.

When you go to the DMV, make sure you bring a copy of your final MPVA that has the price paid and how much taxes were. If you already paid the tax to Tesla, they'll mail you back a check so have to bring that as well. Also, the usual bring cash to the DMV since they don't take credit cards.
 
Just got this in from an ownership experience advocate - I'm P2159 and live in WA

At the moment its still too early to provide a more detailed timeline other than the December-January window in your PreMVPA. Judging from your option selection and sequence number I think it’s most likely right in the middle of that delivery window, but for the moment it’s an art more than a science when we’re still this far out.

A few weeks prior to your delivery a member of our Delivery Specialist team will contact you to finalize the logistics of handing over your keys. Once we reach that point we will be able to better narrow down when your Model S is ready for delivery.

Sounds like i might get the car around New Year - which will be cool :)
 
We just got our California Clean Air Rebate cheque for $2500. Don't forget (if you're in CA that is). You have to apply for it. The program is administered by the CCSE, here in San Diego, so we got our application in the day after the National Plug-in day.

Wish we had something like that here. Did you post this in the regional forum too? Very useful information.

Ah, I see you already did. Glad you got the check.
 
When you go to the DMV

I'm not sure this will apply to Teslas, but years ago I bought an Acura MDX at the Seattle airport and drove it to Texas on a temporary tag. (The loonie exchange rate was favorable and private Canadians (where the car was assembled) could sell it for less than MSRP in the states--they also had access to a bigger selection when the MDX first came out.) Anyway, I had to make an appointment with a state trooper at DMV who had to personnally check the VIN (apparently for theft issues) before I could register it. I took to a regular inspection site but could only get a one year sticker--not the two years dealers get for new car buyers.
 
Just got back from picking up VIN 626 at the factory. Fantastic experience. Incredible car. After driving it home for an hour from the factory, I don't think we'll ever buy another car that's not a Tesla. Our delivery specialist Tim did a fantastic job walking us through the whole thing. And I can report that Elon was there at the factory tonight working with the engineering staff!

Great to hear! Thanks for sharing. See any higher VIN#'s about? Enjoy the new ride!
