Yeah, we just got an email yesterday. We're still trying to figure out what to do. Anyone have any thoughts? The complaint we received from Tesla said that we were using their logo (we grabbed an open source font from a website), and that we were using the word "Tesla" in our URL. We changed the...

Hi Guys, pretty excited to say the V2.0 is live and everyone should be quite a bit happier with their estimates. We've updated the production schedule according to Elon's ambitious goals of 2017. We also include a learning component, so your V2.0 estimate will update every 24hrs. You can get...

So www.tesla3counter.com has been mentioned by a few people since I last logged on, so its a been hard to quote just one person but I'll try to address the main points. An update first: I'll admit, version 1.0 of our algorithm was a bit off - but it gave us something to build off of, and now...

Thanks for the support! Yes, as long as an email was sent to either: [email protected] or [email protected] your request will be addressed and resolved as requested. As a note, we have since removed the RN field and last name field, so if you ever wanted to register again there...

No need to worry - it was our mistake asking for the reservation numbers in the first place. We've since deleted the the RN field and have replaced it with fields for you to make up a password. If you've already registered using your RN you can log back in using it and then will be able to...

Yeah, because there were so so many reservations in the first few days we need to work with at least minutes (as provided by the confirmation emails). We originally wanted to work with credit card reservation times, but some credit card companies don't store the time stamp once a payment is...

Very fair points. And we appreciate skepticism and critique - if our model/algorithm is going to become better its going to have to go through a few different versions. To address your point about the terminology in the code: we were originally going to use the credit card authorization date...

I think the best info on this out there right now is being done by Paul Carter. Check out his site: Model3Tracker.info

We're working on refining this, will hopefully be getting a better algorithm up soon. I know its off by quite a bit in some cases, but its just an estimate. There's quite a few Tesla employees and current owners (plus people who are currently on a Model X or S waiting list), this fact really...

I've posted this on some other threads, but it fits here: Some friends and I took a stab at estimating where we are in the line up and when we would get our cars. We incorporated the priority being given to current Tesla owners and employees. We thought it was pretty cool so we turned it into a...

Fair question. We originally wanted to ask for the payment confirmation time, unfortunately some credit card companies don't store this information and we didn't think Tesla would appreciate a bunch of people calling in asking for the time stamp on their confirmation. The other big issue is that...

Hi Pando, Yeah, totally agree - we've taken the RN out of it. We originally thought it would be a good password that people could easily go back and reference in their inbox. We've since changed it so people just create a password. We've already incorporated whether the person is currently a...

Some friends and I took a stab at estimating where we are in the line up and when we would get our cars. We incorporated a the priority being given to current Tesla owners and employees. We thought it was pretty cool so we turned it into a website, we're going to keep working to improve the...

Thanks Morrison! (This one was a bit of a cheat.)

Hi Doug, Any idea how long new members are limited? I'd like to add an avatar but I can't see to figure out how to do it?

Hi, I'm one of the creators of the Tesla 3 Counter. If you've sent us an email asking for your data to be deleted it will be (there's just three of us that built it and are supporting it, plus we all have jobs so time is in short supply). That being said we are using the data in aggregate to...

Hi Jayc, so we've adjusted the site because, agreed, we were asking for too much info (don't need your RN# or last name). But the estimated position we came up with for you for your position in line incorporates a few things: - The first reservation was made by a guy in Sydney, Australia...

Hi Paul, Good point on the RN#! Our initial thought was that it would serve as a good password that people could reference when they wanted to log back in - we quickly learned this was not appropriate. We've updated the site so you just make a password now. We also removed the last name since...

Hi Fred, thanks for checking out our counter. Again, we can only provide our estimate. But one of our BIGGEST assumptions is that the Tesla server(s) are rational and are sending out emails sequentially - first in first out. This is also consistent with the fact that they had a huge delay for...

Hi! I'm a long time lurker, and been a Tesla fan for a while. Some friends and I wanted to try and estimate where we are in line so we built an algorithm and have turned it into a website. Any feed back would be appreciated! Its got a long way to come but we'll be updating it regularly. Check...
