UPDATE: I received a call from Tesla (Las Vegas number) this morning letting me know that I'm scheduled for delivery in a few weeks. They also emailed me my vin (66,0xx) !

MSM, AWD (non-P), black seats, aeros, EAP
This is my order too. I'm in Livermore. I drive by the Fremont Factory everyday and see truck loads of Teslas, mostly m3. I really thought my location would give me an advantage and I'd get mine sooner. This doesn't seem to be the case. I haven't heard anything yet.

I'm not bitter, I know I'll have mine soon enough. Just sharing why I'm siding with the magic 8 ball theory. Congrats to all you lucky people getting yours. :)
 
I guess they are trying to decrease the call volume. This should help some. Looks like now you have to schedule an appointment before you get a VIN assigned.

I think that's because we have far more orders per square mile, but not proportionally better delivery bandwidth. Reservation dates seems to move faster in places with presumably lower order density. Each location sort of has its own line, but what differs is the size of technology line. Optimal load of all centers just reveals disparities in demand.

I'm seeing the same website update.

@dailo, what payment option did you select? For me the new pop-up has only the "Order" item checked. "Prepare for Delivery" is not checked as it is on your screenshot. I have Tesla financing selected and the main screen has the grey dots, not the green checkmark. But everything else is checked/green.
 
Now I'm starting to get concerned. My screen updated and I have the Overview graphic today. I only have Order checked. It seems Prepare for Delivery should be checked as well since I provided that information two months ago.

I'm predicting this change will cause even more phone calls from all of those who provided their information months ago. :(

I did have a small correction four weeks ago where I indicated the birthdate needed to be changed from 7/28 to 7/21. Sadly, that very tiny change appears to have left me and many others in limbo. I don't know why they don't allow us to just correct the data ourselves instead of having to wait a month or more (way longer than the initial 48 hours) for a Delivery specialist to change it.

Does anyone who provided their information months ago but have a correction have Prepare for Delivery checked?

Looks like I will be calling and trying the executive escalation today...

Mine looks like that and all my details are entered.

Mine looks just like yours - similar circumstances. Been waiting for what seems like an eternity.

Cool - can't wait to hear how that goes. :)

3/31/16 - in-person reservation
6/27/18 - configured Model 3 AWD, Blue/Black, Aero Wheels (will turn into my winter set)
7/26/18 - first ISA contact
7/27/18 - VIN assigned, delivery date scheduled
8/14/18 - delivery date

I feel like we all need some good news around here. AWD 3's do exist and are being delivered! I took delivery of my AWD (no P) on Tuesday and it's been excellent!! I have very high expectations and was ready to reject delivery if necessary, but thankfully didn't have to. There were a few very minor things, 1 side of the frunk was a mm or 2 below the other side, that was fixed on the spot by the delivery specialist by a few turns of the "standoff" that the frunk rests on. The car was pulling slightly, but after adjusting the tire pressure (they had them all over the map) so all tires are the same (42psi per the door jamb) straight as an arrow now. And thats ... it... I was expecting much worse and am absolutely delighted to not find anything. I keep checking it to ensure I didn't "miss something" and it keeps passing with flying colors. So hold on all, it IS worth it!!

Apparently I'm quite consistent ;) After 16 years the VW is finally moving along, now that the Model 3 is secured to my sister's. But allows for an interesting picture

A bit washed out, but sans aero-rims is much better

VIN 54XXX in case it matters for anyone

Are you financing or do you have a trade-in? Those paying cash with no trade-in (like me) do not have the edit link, and therefore are at the “Prepare for Delivery” stage. I think all this means is that I don’t have anything to do until I schedule my appointment whereas those who finance or have a trade-in eventually need to provide additional information. Also I don’t believe I am closer to delivery than any of you because my reservation wasn’t until 1/18/17 and order was on 6/28/18....well after most.

No trade-in. Paying cash. No edit link since 7/19. I submitted the correction on 7/20. I should be at the Prepare for Delivery stage...or they should have an extra stage for "Delivery Specialist is reviewing your changes..." after the Prepare for Delivery stage. When you say you are at the Prepare for Delivery stage, is it checked or unchecked for you?

Owner, reserved 3/31/16, ordered 6/26/18, corrected registration 7/20/18 and have heard nothing and it looks like I'm stuck in limbo since they don't have me in the Prepare for Delivery stage and there's no way for me to submit additional information. I've seen at least 3 non-owners who reserved later than I did and ordered after I did who have the exact same configuration and they have already been scheduled for delivery.

This seems to be common. There is no rhyme or reason for when people will get their VINs or progress further in line - unfortunately. There are too many outliers. A few weeks ago it was reported that thousands of VINs were going to be assigned to AWD orders. I am waiting to see a sudden waive of posts here with AWD folks announcing they got their VIN.

Interesting. Sorry to hear that. My Prepare for Delivery circle is checked. Given all your information, I definitely would think that yours should be too. Just when I thought I had Tesla’s system figured out, another curveball gets thrown in. I would call them, but you may have already done that.

Yes, I have the "Prepare for Delivery" checked. I had entered my contact details and payment information months ago. I reserved 7/3/2017 and ordered 6/30/2018. Made one small edit 8/10/2018.

I just submitted an Executive Escalation, FWIW. I'm hoping they just need to update their site so that the people who made corrections will show up as having Prepare for Delivery checked and maybe have a new "Delivery Specialist is reviewing your changes" status. It's such an easy fix to make. I'm just hoping that their DB queries are only wrong on this page and that our orders aren't really stuck in limbo.
