I changed my Cyberbeast order to AWD and got a VIN the same day. Got tired of waiting. I’ll save 20k and I’m sure the AWD is plenty fast. I’ve had 3 Plaids and to be honest I rarely use the speed. I usually use autopilot and FSD. It is nice to have that extra speed when merging onto a highway, though. $20,000 is a lot of money
Did you get it yet? If not, do you know how long it takes to get? There was a Tesla showroom and a Tesla dealer within 5 minutes of me in opposite directions. I'm going to go there today.

After you get a VIN it usually takes 10-14 days to get to the dealer. I configured my Cyberbeast on 12/15/23, so if I had originally chose the AWD instead I would’ve had it in February. Oh well. I think if you choose AWD you will have it in less than 2 months from date of configuration. They are pumping those out with no issue.

I’m still thinking that this perk is essentially the same as using referral credits to accelerate your cybertruck delivery, based on the fact that my sales advisor said signing up for this would likely shorten it to 45 days.


I pasted the text below from that referral award description. Take note of the fact that it says “within 45 days of redemption”

Accelerate Your Cybertruck Delivery

30,000 Credits
Currently Unavailable

Description

That may indeed be the case when Tesla actually begins to move on this. Still a wait and see mode for us.

The difference is that they only offered that program to a very small amount of people. This shareholder program was offered to thousands of eligible people. People who did the accelerated delivery got instant communication from Tesla and a VIN in days. We’ve got nothing… yet?

Yeah, gotta say.... The lack of communication is rather frustrating. Why not at least provide some structure to how all of this works. It gives lots of anxious buyers false hope for a CT soon. Also, it makes planning for payment/financing challenging. The CT could come "mid to late 2024" or within 45 days. Who knows?

VERY frustrating, but also VERY Tesla. It never stops does it?

Yup. Call 888-518-3752, get to a sales advisor (it might be a long hold) and ask for your configuration to be changed to AWD. They will send you a text to confirm, reply with YES. They will put in a case for corporate to change the order to AWD. Usually the same day or next morning. If your configuration date is early enough for your area, you will skip the line and get a VIN really quickly.

I hope that you mean the trucks died and not the people. I have read neither, thank goodness. I did read one comment (and way too many comments after that) that a truck was delivered and then stopped working. That is a long way from dying.
The day after I posted this I got my invite. I paid the $1,000 deposit Wednesday night and I'm waiting for the VIN.

I got my invite early Tuesday and also decided to get the AWD instead of the Beast because I didn't want to wait any longer. I paid my deposit Wednesday night and I'm waiting for the VIN

My chrome browser portal says "...delivery has ended." Nothing more, just like yours. However, someone else on this forum showed me that if I check my shareholder preferences in my account profile settings on the Tesla website, using my Safari browser (on my iPhone), it says "You are signed up for the Early Cybertruck Delivery for Long Term TSLA Shareholders", as well as the statement above.

I don't think anyone else knows anything more. We all wait and speculate...

Interesting trick with Safari, and encouraging.
