Get Fast VIN on FS if you don't mind AT Tires

[darkfyre]

Hi All,

I've been reading some threads here and puttering around the rest of the internet (such that it is for CT information). Most service centers can't give you any information until you have a VIN. Here's my scenario:

Reserved CT: 8/2022 - RN11775
Opportunity to FS: 6/20/2024
Configured CT: 6/22/2024

Configuration:
Foundation / AWD / White / All Season Tires
(The rest of the config is pretty standard)

Delivery to Northern California

I've been waiting for a VIN since then of course and it seems like it takes between a few days and ~6wks to get one assigned (unless you ordered the Beast). I did read about the All Season Tires being delayed here and happened to see the pic of how the AS lined up with the wheels themselves. I wasn't too excited about it.

Today, I decided to check the Delivery Date Range (in the 'change configuration' web page). It had moved from July - Aug to Aug - Sept (understandably). I reasoned with myself that I could do with the All Terrain tires and when the truck needs a new set, I'll swap to All Season. The All Season tires aren't available on the configuration tool right now anyways. So I changed from AS to AT and hit the save button.

Less than 1 hour later.....

Tesla app is hitting me with push notifications that I have a VIN assinged. Not gonna lie, I'm pretty excited. I didn't think I'd get a chance to have a FS and the fact that this is real, is pretty cool. My plan is now to switch to All Season when the All Terrains need replacing since I'll be using my truck for lighter work (I'm a big 'ole nerd, so the heaviest 'work' I do is hauling a friend's furniture or taking trips to home depot).

I wanted to share with any of you who are holding out for the AS tires but aren't convinced that it'll be worth the wait. Hopefully this helps someone.

This raises more questions.

Will people that configured AS eventually get them, or will they all be converted to AT, or are they stuck in limbo until someone manually changes it to AT?

I'm speculating based on some threads posts I read here, where Tesla messaged several reservees to see if they wanted AT tires. I'm guessing there is a problem with the supplier (Goodyear) and that people who want AS just have to wait a little longer.

I’d like to think I ordered the AT tires, looking at my agreement or details in the app tho it just says cyber wheels with 35” tires.

After I changed to AT, my order also says Cyber Wheels. So I agree.

I configured on May 30th with AT tires still no Vin.

I'm not sure how much more efficient the all seasons will be. I originally thought about waiting for all seasons but the Cybertruck's siren song drew me in. Two months and 1,300+ miles later averaging 333 Wh/mi I don't regret it (and think the all-terrains suit the look of the truck better anyway).

Will revisit in a few years when it comes time for a tire change. Maybe by then I'll have received the wheel covers and FSD!

PS my trip yesterday of 63 miles was in a steady, at times pounding, rain. Zero hydroplaning from the All Terrains.

I also configured on 5/30: AWD, AT tires, tactical grey...BUT...

I reconfigured on 5/31: AWD, AT tires, white interior...got a VIN on 6/4 and have been driving it since 6/10. Hopefully your grey ships soon!

New tires for a truck, can be got at a discount for around $1000, that's about 1% of the cost of the truck. I don't understand paying $20k extra to get the truck early, but not willing to pay extra $1000, to swap out the tires.

It's not just the tires, it's the wheels and covers. The core wheels are better and the cyber covers can't be used with other tires.

Sign me up for K03's for a grand. $462 each plus whatever taxes and install. Make sure you get the sizes correct for pricing. Not just a google. At 17k of non spirited driving I will get about 25k for the OEM's. Never had good luck with Goodyear. Bummer on the covers, yet I don't need Starwars. 18's are cheaper, but that involves new rims.

I’m not talking about the best off road tires you can get. I got a set K02s for my jeep and it was $1600+ for the set. But people are wanting all season tires, it might not be $1000. But it’s a tiny percentage of the price difference for FS.
