Oct 4, 2021 39 38 Frisco TX Still waiting for my VIN, delivery due in December as long as it doesn’t change. Once a VIN is assigned is the delivery date also? DerbyDave

Jul 2, 2020 5,894 3,468 Kentucky The car is usually built the week the VIN is assigned. The VIN assignment means the parts are available to build the car, and it is in production. Depending on where it is being delivered, it will normally take up to two weeks after it is built to be delivered. With truck driver shortages, who knows. Delivery to the east is usually by train for the long part, and then truck to dealer. There are instances where Tesla has assigned the VIN, and then removed or reassigned the car to someone else after it appeared in an account. The delivery date is updated when VIN is assigned, and my date changed a couple of times prior to delivery after the VIN was assigned.

All I can recommend is have your money right. Messing with their timelines I ended up with 4 cars. That was never the plan. Back down to 3 as BMW bought my X3M Comp fast. VolcanoTacos

My VIN was assigned on 11/14 and then my original deliver window was set to 11/18-11/20. My SA also told me that "It takes about 3-5 days to get a car from the factory" (this is in Seattle area).

If you received your VIN last night, it's unlikely you'll be waiting that long.

"Usually"..."Depending on where it is being delivered...." Your car was probably built and another customer refused delivery, or the car was reassigned from another order. No way the car could be BUILT and delivered in 4 days to Canada, unless you used SpaceX for delivery. :)

Jul 2, 2020 5,894 3,468 Kentucky When Tesla builds the car, the vin is assigned and put physically in several places on the car when produced. There is no way to assign the vin physically to a car at the border. It is also assigned to an order to be shipped to a customer at a destination. Perhaps there is a delay is posting to an account online until the car clears customs, but the vin was assigned to that order before customs. Last edited: Dec 17, 2021 M
