Just noticed on my contract that the car has 50 miles on the ODO. Interesting. Most people I've seen say they show up with ~10.

This just showed up in my inbox.
Did you get this by email? Was that after submitting your final payment?
I have the submit final payment action on the My Account page with final amount due, but there is no final paperwork. I assume you got that only after making the final payment?

Yes. I got it via email. Interestingly, I'm not yet able to submit final payment on the account page.

Congrats to all the new VIN's. If you have a chance would you update the spreadsheet. More data there will help those of us hoping to order in the next month or so.
Also wondering about a clarification on the cash vs finance. Shouldn't both be the same to Tesla? The cash ACH/Wire comes from you or from the financial institution from a loan. Don't see how it would make a difference. It seems as well though a couple paying cash may have transferred the funds before delivery? Is this true? Hard to tell from the info only in this thread, but think I would have a hard time sending money before delivery.

I updated my entries in the spreadsheet earlier today. My ISA told me in Texas you have no option but to pay ahead of delivery.

Thanks for that info. I know we have a special hoop or two to jump through with no direct sales. I need to go find those threads and start reading up.

Finally my VIN showed up (5YJ3E1EA7JF0051XX). Ordered on 01/11 in Houston, TX. And I have a trade-in.
Ok, so much for my "trade-in slowing me down" theory, although it took you a while to get the VIN.. configured day before spud, got VIN day after spud, who I thought was the longest waiter.
But the n of 1 sort of disproves the trade-in issue, although I can add complexity to the the theory and wonder if they have resale partners lined up some places and not others?
Either way, thanks for the info! I will get my VIN... I will get my VIN... I will get my VIN....
My delivery person said that Tesla will now handle Texas tax and registration for us. No need to deal with that separately like we did in years past.

I've quickly read though this thread, congratulations for everyone looking to take delivery by the end of the month.
I'm well back in the queue, Apr 1,16 non-owner, "May-Jul" 1st Prod. Hoping for the invite email some time late summer/early fall.
For clarity, are these extra delays for TX delivery a one-time thing as Tesla works out their internal organization or does Tesla expect them to be this large ongoing throughout the year?

Really?!?
That will be a fantastic addition but I havent heard that yet. Is Kevin your guy? I assume so since we live right down the street from each other.
What is everyone going with in terms of financing? I used Alliant on my S but they seem to be much higher this time around.
It should be a one time thing. Tesla has been delivering other cars in Texas for 5+ years now, so now that the bottleneck is cleared it should stay cleared. Of course, not sure why the bottleneck happened in the first place.

That's the part that was fuzzy to me, so I guess I didn't miss anything reading here. I'll just keep watch to see how it plays out for the first waves of non-owners in TX. *shrug*
Thanks.
I just got 1.95% from RBFCU (the credit union in the Costco parking lot) after a very fast and painless online application process.
My delivery guy isn't Kevin, it's Chris.
