No. it affects production 2 quarters ahead. The supplier lead times are quite long at the moment. This is why demand is outstripping supply this quarter.

How comes I haven't received my VIN yet...?
Veda and many others have explained it pretty clearly:
Orders are built then assigned - not the other way around, if you don't have a VIN yet - your combo hasn't been built in sufficient quantities to assign you one.
ok, thanks
Sound strange though. it's LR, white with black interior. The most popular...
If the above is true we should look for a ship leaving Shanghai around 20 to 21 January.
There’s one leaving Shanghai on 19/01 and then another on 24/01. I can’t remember their names though

Sucks, but it would seems likely that combo isn't being produced in the quantities needed for the current global demand and you've drawn the short straw.
I'm waiting on a White LR and my agent told me that while he had originally assumed I would get it this round, they weren't getting as many as expected and my order was one of the types that was delayed. I'm new to all this, but I have to assume that my combo is also relatively common being White/White LR.
The issue here is that to compare my order date to others would be ignoring things like global demand (this is the Australian specific thread so you will be missing a massive amount of data) changes to orders (I changed spec on 20th, which no doubt pushed me back in queue), silent orders (eg those who don't join forums to post info online lol) I can see why Veda said this metric isn't really helpful for determining delivery, it has far too many variables.
Imho, best to just treat it as a preorder without a date until you get the VIN (and join Veda's tracking once you do - if you're into that)

It would be global demand for RHD only tho. And that changes the picture significantly since the LR aus not even available in some markets such as Singapore (not that they order many anyways due to COE restrictions). A car made for RHD could be allocated to the RHD countries only. These two factors make the delivery estimates much more accurate for us and other RHD countries.
Talk about muddying the waters!
Now we’re down to a case of who knows when you will get your car? If ever. Depends on what Tesla feels like making this quarter! Lol.
If that’s the case then they should just scrap ordering and dump everything in the inventory every quarter. First in best dressed!
I have the exactly same config with you, I got the EDD & VIN this morning for Alexandria delivery. Next M3 being produced in the factory in this spec could be yours
Just be patient. As Vedaprime has said that VIN's will likely take a few weeks. Clearly by delivery dates all Teslas this quarter are not coming on the same ship.

Don't be dramatic,
Tesla builds based on demand, and that is based on demand 2 quarters ago (confirmed from Veda a few posts ago) and would be specific for your region (LHD vs RHD).
My point is that your order date has a lot of things riding on it and isn't going to be black and white. Take mine for instance, which was ordered on 6/12/2021. I've changed from black to white interior on the 20th which would push me back in that sub-queue, and I don't know how this impacts my order in the queue either.
I guess you can compare to others if they share the same spec and around the same order date to get a guideline for yourself, but I would take any date with a pinch of salt until I have a VIN personally.
Yep.
I ordered 18/11 in Sydney
M3LR white exterior Black interior. Same spec as yours.
No VIN, No EDD.
Let me know when you get yours and ill do the same.
