I received my VIN assignment today, March 27th, but I haven't been provided with a delivery date yet. Upon receiving my VIN, I promptly contacted a call center service representative to inquire about the delivery process. They informed me that a delivery person from the Austin Pond Springs location will reach out to schedule the delivery. However, the estimated delivery date they provided is April 14th, which amounts to approximately 18 days from now. Given that I am located in Austin and the proximity of the Giga factory to the Tesla center, I find this timeline surprisingly long.

I'm hoping that someone within this forum can share their experience and confirm if deliveries typically occur sooner than the advertised timeframe of 18 days. It seems unreasonable for a vehicle that could theoretically be driven from the Giga factory to the Tesla center in less than 30 minutes to take this long for delivery.

On another note, I was informed that Tesla cannot accept a certified check for the final payment due to Texas regulations, as Tesla is not classified as an auto dealer in the state. All the online option will work, plaid and W/T.

1) The first 5 digits of your RN# - 11282
2) The date you configured your truck - 1/11/2024
3) The date you received your VIN assignment - 3/27/2024
4) The Date you will take delivery (if known) - n/a. (I called national CS phone line and was told 4/14)
5) Your state - TX

Update: showed up at the Tesla "dealer" to ask about delivery date. The delivery rep called me while I was waiting and asked when I would like to pick up the CT. I said "now". She scheduled me for tomorrow. VIN assignment to delivery equals 2 days for me, not 18. Thanks, EM!

I was given a delivery date about 4 days out, but I pushed it to Friday because... well, Friday lol. The Pond Springs team was great!

I asked if they drive them over from the factory, they said they're trucked over. But no rail dust! lol
