2019/20 Orders and Deliveries [closed]

Just checked my account to find that a final invoice 3 was added yesterday with a much higher VIN 439XXX which is also in the source code and with a delivery date of yesterday! (was 26 Aug - 2 Sep). The Next Steps still shows "We are drafting up your contract and will contact you when you can make your final payment".
Still no contact from Tesla - looks like I will be spending the rest of the afternoon trying to contact them. I am a bit concerned as I go on holiday next Tue so I may lose this car.

I just got a VIN added to the source code that is also 439xxx and I ordered July 23rd with no reservation before.
What does this mean with regards to potential delivery? If anything

Not much! But probably leads to late Aug/early Sept delivery would be my guess.
No joy on the phone so I emailed them. I got a reply back which included the line:
"Unfortunately, we do not have any further updates regarding your Model 3 delivery date. I could only speculate that your delivery will be late August / Early September with the information we currently have. However, as soon as the details are made available for your vehicle, we will reach out to you."
It would appear that the scheduled delivery date on the invoice is meaningless and that you will need to wait until one appears in your online account.
So after calling to find out WTF was going on I find out my car is in zebrugge.. and 5 minutes later get an email with an estimated date of 26th-2nd.
Interestingly that does mean they're planning on delivering cars from the Ace still at the end of August, after the Champion has arrived.. must be quite a backlog building up there.

Experience has shown mileage matters far more than plate.. and I'm not intending to sell for a long time anyway.
I know! I agree. Unbelievable since your order was so early on. I can't understand what must be going on to delay so much.
I just don't buy that rumour. I've heard that from a number of people. But it doesn't seem to be an issue in the states. People are ordering with 19" and not finding it a problem there. As far as I know. Perhaps we should post the question on a US forum and find out. I'll head there next.
I wouldn't worry about that. I was told the following on an email from Tesla... "With regards to your availability, we are able to adjust the appointment by 7 days so this does normally work out okay... Anything outside of that we would assess on a case by case basis."
Depending on how long you are away of course, but if you're away for say 10-14 days you may just need to squeeze a few days out of them but more likely a delay of 7 will be enough.
I have noticed that the delivery text/email/call has been turning up roughly 1 to 2 weeks after the appearance of a SCVIN (sometimes a few days), but this varies and for some, the VIN disappears/reappears or disappears for good.I just got a VIN added to the source code that is also 439xxx and I ordered July 23rd with no reservation before.

That's great news Tony, so pleased to hear that! Gives me a little faith that they are still looking out for those who ordered early doors.
The order number isn't actually an order number it's the last 4 digits (or 5 if it's over 9999) of your booking invoice because that's the only sequential number Tesla publish. Thanks

The order number isn't actually an order number, we use the last 4 digits (or 5 if it's over 9999) of your booking invoice number because that's the only sequential number Tesla publish.
The RN number is a more sensitive number because it specifically identifies your order and is not sequential, so it's not all that helpful in identifying your 'place in the queue'. The booking invoice number (for your initial deposit payment) pretty quickly becomes redundant as it is superseded by changes to your order and your final invoice. Thanks
I now have my final invoice which confirms SC VIN. On the invoice scheduled delivery is down for 28 Aug. I’ve also had the delivery window email with dates 26 Aug - 02 Sep.
Just the small matter of payment now
