We can only hope that updates indicate reliable scheduling however given pressures I am bracing for changes.

So just wondering...
I ordered on 17/02 which was the week that the estimate changed from the previous 14-20 weeks to the 5-7 months. With orders placed that week, how likely are they to come earlier? Or should i just assume that that the 5-7 months is a more definitive number

I ordered on the 16th, when I ordered that sales advisor said that delivery would really depend on what you ordered but as I went for the RWD White/Black which is popular she said she was pretty confident I would be 5 months as it had only just changed from 14/20 weeks. She told my mate who ordered the LR White/Black at the same time that he should expect to be closer to the 7 months but then I hear that they are likely producing more LR's this run to satisfy a backlog of orders from late last year.
Im really not sure how much they actually really know until VIN's started to be allocated though and I would assume to get "nearer 5 months" would drop us mid July which would mean we would need to be in the next shipment.
OD 16/2 here - I am just going to take the 5-7 months. I mean, if there are cancellation, obviously I hope ours got pushed ahead but unlikely I guess. Spoke with my SA and he said he sold close to 10-15 ish in a week due to increased demands. So even if you order a day or two after the date change you are looking at quite a few people infront of you.
Now, that is talking in total number, configurations also play a part, so maybe if you order the right combination, a few cancellation moved you forward to the earlier shipment.
Me, I ordered a common one, White/white RWD. So for me to be bump up the queue, there has to be quite a few people cancelling their order (which I am still keeping a slight hope on. Maybe people cancel and buy the Polestar or BYD, who knows).

sounds about right. It would be nice if my Tesla app even showed the 5-7 months date. leaves one feeling stuck in limbo!

Same here, having truck delivery to regional areas makes that EDD disappear it seems
Middle ground, let's aim for 6 months
Cheers! Hence use of the word "might".
Basically in Jan those updates weren't really publicised by Tesla and groups such as these were tracking them via spreadsheets and crowdsourced data. Some deliveries had them, some didn't (already produced stock, order cancellations etc). So it wasn't a sure thing - looking at the delivery spreadsheets the updated models were sporadic. It was possible, had they had pre-produced M3s in stock or you got a shorter wait due to a cancellation, that an order in Jan wouldn't necessarily have gotten those extras. Therefore, the wait for production of an order meant getting the latest version.
Basically. Only Tesla knows when they will add features. Not forums. Because they don't do models by year.
By the way, off topic, I just read this Tesla Model Y: Australian pricing leaked. Estimated to be ~$67,000.
Except for the agony of having to wait an eternity, I'd be tempted to get this over my Model 3 order.
That price though, it just priced it out of the rebate territory. But if you haven't made an order yet, with the current price of Model 3 of 63,900 it's almost more worth it to get a model Y instead. For people that ordered before the price drop, that's still a step price hike (10K plus with the NSW rebates etc)...

Friday sounds optimistic based upon the number of new daily cases and the severity of the lock down.Tesla now expects Gigafactory Shanghai shutdown to extend to at least Friday – missing out on over 24,000 EVs

Same order as me. I'm in Melbourne and ordered about 10 days after you. Let me know when you get a VIN as hopefully they would build mine straight after yours!
