VINs are not sequential with build dates because the automaker has to request them in batches (and the VIN number encodes the vehicle's trim). Automakers like the ability to switch production to different trims at will so the VIN numbers can jump around a bit.
I have an early Foundation Series that I got in February 2024, so I ran without covers for around a year before they came out. I've had the covers on ever since. It's really more about you need to make a decision on which way you plan to use the wheels and covers and stick to it. I knew they scratched the wheels when I put them on, but didn't care since I liked the look and the slight efficiency improvement and knew I'd never take them off (I would go with a different aftermarket wheel if I did). So it's not an absolute "don't do it". Now, on a personal opinion level, with the Core wheels (vs. the Molton/Cyber wheels), I would probably not install them since I personally think the bare, non-covered wheel looks better. But it's a very personal decision, with no wrong answers...

I must have gotten lucky on the delivery window. I was over the 30 days on financing, but still got the 3.99. Ha, the date format well, I am in IT, but.... I work for the Army and that is where the habit comes from.
I've put together some data based on reported timelines across multiple websites for PAWD Tesla orders. I ordered on April 9th and this is the data on likely VIN/Delivery times for my order. Your timeline is an outlier, contrasted by a known similar order in the same delivery locale which occurred much faster so I'm not sure what happened. Hopefully you get a positive surprise on the timeline soon!
lol, yep. that's my luck!
What does the app say is your estimated delivery date? I ordered on 4/11. Thanks for this info.I've put together some data based on reported timelines across multiple websites for PAWD Tesla orders.

Interesting. I ordered 4/12 and mine is now showing 6/4-6/30.
Man, that's rough. To give you some perspective on how much of an outlier you might be: I ordered mine on May 2nd and I already took delivery on May 28th.I order my second beast on 11-15-2025. I have a 2024 foundation beast my wife is now driving - and it's also now pink. My thought was I wanted to get the 2026 but wanted it at the end of 2025. I placed the order and was shown that it would be 3-5 weeks to get it... perfect! I got a message stating the delivery window would be 12/12 -12/31. Knowing how Tesla likes to get as much pushed out by year end I would certainly get it. NOPE, on Dec 17 when i asked about an update, they told me 1/30 - 3/27 and then last week they told me Feb 3 - March 17. This seems weird as they aren't selling a lot of them and I keep checking to see if any are in inventory locally and never see anything be 2025 demo's which I DO NOT want.
Anyone else experiencing this or am I an outlier? The only thing weird about my order is I also ordered the Terrestrial Armor Package on it.
I had my delivery estimate move up to May 6th - May 25th. Still no VIN so I think the near side of that estimate is a bit ambitious. Overall the last two estimate changes have moved the delivery date forward so I'm hoping that's a good sign for late March and early April orders.My Premium said 4-6 weeks as well lol.
