Is that windshield label some type of QR code?

The BUILD DATE would be interesting to know. I’m gonna guess that a 508xx VIN was built in the 3 rd week of October-total guess!

I’ll try to spot it tomorrow when it gets unloaded from the truck and let y’all know. I saw a few other 50XXX VINs on the lot and they all had early Nov build dates. There is some randomness and variability to it or some factor we’re not privy to.

Just received my VIN. 053899 and it is an R also.

Interesting that a 508xx has made it to AZ already. They are telling me that my 508xx is still in Austin but should make it to CO for pickup by Monday.

Mine was a replacement for a rejected VIN and I asked them to expedite the replacement given the circumstances around the rejection. I also suspect we’re pretty quick for deliveries given it’s the same route used to get to Southern California.

Yes, if memory serves it's the VIN.

Makes sense!

I'm scheduled for pick up, hope I don't have to reject mine. No idea what QC is like right now but I drove two different recent production vehicles and they were as close to perfect as you're going to get from Tesla.

My fit and finish was also top notch. Agreed the best I’ve seen from Tesla to date. My issue was transit damage and the myriad of communication failures that followed.

Ah, well fingers crossed that they don't wreck mine.

I'm in VT and apparently the don't deliver cybertrucks at their brand new facility there yet... I have to commute 6 hours to pick up in Paramus or pay the transit $1000.

Should I not risk the transport?

Better having them liable for transport than you I think it’s worth it. Don’t be afraid to assert yourself if anything happens, and make sure they get you a new one vs. convincing you to deal with months of repairs.

IMHO make the trip. I once picked up a 911 Turbo from two states away and was glad I went to the dealership in person so the tech could address one minor finding while I was there. The drive home was 2+ hours on a cold winter night and it was a fun way to get acquainted with the vehicle despite needing to take two trains and the subway along with a taxi to get out there for pickup.

If you find any reason to reject delivery I suspect you're going to be eating that transport fee regardless.

It's a flight and then a 6 hour drive unfortunately. I did the same with my Model Y 1.5 years ago and it had a ton of issues.

When I picked up my Model Y 18 months ago there (after flying in) it had a bunch of issues. They ended up working on it late into the night and dialed it all in. But it was a PITA.

This time at least there's a local svc center.

What issues might there be that I would reject the VIN flat out?

What issues might there be that I would reject the VIN flat out?

In my opinion, anything that needs invasive repairs. If you think there’s a chance that it won’t be fixed 100%, or other things will get damaged during the repair, or it’ll be months of repeated service appointments…just reject it. Any body work beyond a minor sanding/buffing, major electrical issues, windshield replacements, day 1 issues with the tonneau cover, any internal cosmetic issues that require tearing down the entire front dash... I’m sure folks can come up with dozens of other things. Until Tesla brings back the 7 day guarantee or some other consumer-friendly approach to delivery damage, you’re accepting 100% of the risk and thus your threshold for rejecting the VIN should be quite low, in my opinion again of course.

These aren’t the days of year long waits for the vehicle like 2020-2021. Turnaround for a new VIN is measured in weeks at most. My local service center is booking service appointments 45 days out, and I’m guessing others are in that same ballpark. You don’t get to write them the check 45 days later, so why should you accept that kind of a wait for the brand new condition vehicle you paid for.
