The primary reason I got the Advanced Prius Plugin was the Radar Cruise Control. I was driving 100mi/day and it was invaluable, right up until you realize rather than doing 65 you're done to 55 because the guy in front of you is.

No, Tesla and my bank stopped doing them. I don’t know why, nor do I care. If my d!p$h!t guy in Las Vegas didn’t sit around with his thumb in his @$$ with my paperwork all of this could have been avoided.

Yeah that is a double edged sword right there.... I also spent the time readjusting my sense of speed compared to the Volt. Stabbing the go pedal brings bigger smiles in the 3 than the Volt.
Funny you mention that. My test drive in the S was funny in I know coming from the Prius punching the accelerator, my fear was, would slam me into Jersey Barrier. I so wanted to punch it!Yeah that is a double edged sword right there.... I also spent the time readjusting my sense of speed compared to the Volt.

Just received a call from Tesla (Nevada phone number). I am now scheduled for a September 9 delivery at the Dania Beach, Florida facility. So, within approximately a 10 hour window of time I saw that my "Edit Design" link had disappeared, the payment method changed to yellow ellipses, I completed the loan application, I was approved through Wells Fargo Bank, and the IDA telephoned me to confirm my information and provide a delivery date.
I’m on trip in Northern California and today while driving the Avenue of the Giants in Humboldt Redwoods State Park I spotted a silver Model 3. It pulled off and parked so of course I parked right next to it to congratulate the owners and get their impression of the car. The love it, their first Tesla, took delivery about a week ago and it is a Dual Motor! They reserved sometime in mid 2017 and configured less than two months ago. They live in central California (I am obscuring their details to protect their privacy) and were on their first long distance trip, to Oregon. Got used to the center screen display “in minutes”, are impressed by the range, and are really enjoying the car. Already talking about getting another one to replace their ICE.
I will say, I think the process they are using to match cars to customers/reservation holders is leaving potential money on the table for Tesla. If it meant I could get my car now, I would add sport wheels and change from silver to white or red paint instantly. Boom, they could make $2k extra. Then they could make more in those configs and just find homes for them. Kinda how they are giving test drives if you would consider going up to a Performance. That is also how all other manufacturers do it, they make more of the cars with a few extra options and you just end up buying the one with those options because it's on the lot. I kinda would like a bit of surprise to the delivery, as long as it's not a major defect ;-)

Trifecta: Solar and both cars are EVs
Reservered: 3/31 line waiter
Ordered: 6/27 (while having dinner at a restaurant)
Red, Non-P AWD
Edit button gone ever since I completed all the info
Asked (online) to confirm all the info a week later
Order vehicle agreement states:
Order placed with electronically accepted terms:6/26/2018
Called Tesla today for an update. No VIN yet but was told I should hear from my IDA any day now as it has been almost 8 weeks
Fingers crossed. Very little news from AZ so far (one exception). I know the Tempe delivery center is very busy so I guess very few people are updating this thread.

We were in the same boat as many here, having put down our increased deposit and hearing nothing at all, with no move in the Sept-Oct delivery estimate on Tesla’s site. Today we got email out of the blue confirming that our vehicle is “almost ready for shipment.”
Relevant details for reference:
We’ve been Model S owners since December 2012. We placed our initial $1000 deposit on 3/31/2017 when the web site came up that evening (not line waiters.) We were invited to configure back on 1/4/2018 but elected to wait for AWD. Nothing further until 6/27 when the floodgates opened for everyone, and we increased our deposit shortly after noon Pacific time over lunch.
No delivery date set yet, but presumably we’ll know fairly soon. Our order is a Midnight Silver Metallic AWD with the default 18” wheels. No performance, no assisted driving features outside the default package.

*Update*
I called because I originally said no trade but now I'm considering trading in my BMW (lease return scheduled for December, but the numbers look like I would save a whole bunch of sales tax and qualify for an extra $3,000 rebate from MD if I trade - depends on the trade-in offer of course). I wanted to make sure I was still able to add a trade with with where I am in the process.
The rep on the phone was extremely nice and informed me I have a VIN assigned and the vehicle is "ready for transport to the compound" which means through production and on to quality checks...
He also said I have an IDA assigned and gave me his name and should expect a call in "days".
I made sure to thank him profusely.
We (Jard and I) got an email from our ISD this morning.
We responded immediately. Looking good...early Sept delivery?

must be the white interior and 19's that is holding my order back then, and my old 5/2017 reservation date.
I would have though tesla would be prioritizing loaded AWD's (EAP, FSD 19's White interior), due to them wanting to make the highest profits. Oh well, still trying to sell my truck anyways to add to the down payment.

Well geez, surprised there’s so many 2017 reservations already, that’s when I reserved — July 2017.
Got the call today!
VIN: 5YJ3E1EBXJF0545##
The earliest delivery date was Sept 6th, but I may be out of town that week so I pushed it out a few days.
Edit: FYI - nothing's changed on the website. No VIN, even when doing the Developer Console trick.
Edit #2: I take that back. One thing has changed. Below my reservation number, there is new text that shows my scheduled delivery appointment.
