Probably not going to make you feel better, but there are still members of your club with early orders too. More likely a result of the huge SFbay backlog though. Not a big fan of this club right about now!
No, no I'm still here...
4/24/17 Reservation, 6/28/18 Configuration, Red, AWD, PUP, Aeros, Black, EAP, Trade In, 3rd Party Financing, not a peep, the one time I called in, was told I'm about half way through my window and they have no information (that was about 2 weeks ago).
Don't worry man. I scheduled the delivery day on 9/6 and only finally today I got the update in my account. They probably have some kind of internal spreadsheet/airtable that they're watching so you should be in there. It also seems like the Fremont deliveries are less of a *sugar* show compared to the rest of the country since the factory is right here. Good luck!I keep checking everyday to see if they'll add my appointment to the online account, but still nothing. I received a 2nd confirmation on 9/11 for m delivery date of 9/28 too.
Has anyone successfully negotiated any compensation for their rescheduling?
Good to hear deliveries can happen without much fuss! Any issues with the car?
10’s of thousands of people reserved before you and configured before you. Wait your turn and stop calling

Hello, are you a previous owner and if not when was your order date?
My personal believe is it's because there isn't a delivery center within 200 miles of me, and they're assuming home delivery to the midwest and I'm not getting matched to cars that may or may not going through KC or Minneapolis... I could have sworn on one of the forums I saw a guy take delivery of my exact config with a much later reservation and configuration date out of Minneapolis and the only way I can rationalize it is I'm not assigned to any of those delivery centers for matching...
But that's all just hypothesis.
I've kind of just decided I'm going to wait until after 10/1 when the big end of Q push is done and try calling the main line again, if I get the same run around, I'll call either KC or Minneapolis and see what insight they can give as far as if I'm assigned to their delivery center or what the deal might be.
You should want your delivery location to carefully inspect your car, fix any found flaws and run the numbers such that when you arrive the car is ready, washed/waxed etc. The day before, assuming you hear nothing prior, call the delivery location, explain you have a scheduled pickup the following day and ask if they are ready for you. Don't ask the West Coast, delivery advisor, ask the delivery team where you are picking up your car.
As an example, in my case, the delivery location is over a 2 hr drive. You can bet I won't make that trip unless and until they are ready to hand over the car and the car is ready to be handed over. I do not want to be the one finding scratches, dents, or damage. Neither, I suspect, should you.
I feel you, it feels particularly crappy when people with no reservations, go out and configure a car get a call before us.
I'm in MN and was scheduled to receive my P3D+ on Friday 9/21. Got a call yesterday that it's going now to be delayed until 10/10. I wasn't happy! From a logistics perspective, I don't understand how they could have dropped the ball so bad on this type of scheduling. I can understand a day or two, but 3 weeks??
Silver Lining Playbook...It's still Sept->Nov. Imagine the heartbreak for a Nov->Jan that slides from month 2 to month 3.
Life lesson: No matter how bad you think you have it, someone else has it worse...except for 1 person.
Good perspective. After all, we're frustrated our 60K cars being delayed in the age of 2-day prime. Assuming you're not over-extending yourself, you're probably in a pretty good place. Chill, you're living on Tesla time.
