California, The Land That Time Forgot

[adregia]

Ordered 12/7/2019. Still no VIN or any communications from Tesla. I'm supposed to pick up in Buena Park. I *did* go to the Buena Park mall yesterday and saw several truckloads of Tesla model 3's being emptied into a fenced off area by the old Sears Auto Center that's closed. Now every time I get a text I get all excited it might be from Tesla, and then I get sorely disappointed when it isn't lol.....

Considering there are some people from October with nothing yet and pretty much everyone from November, I would say brace yourself for the long haul.

California delivery timings are back to 5-8 weeks on Tesla site. So if we haven't made it to the assembly line then no hope for this year .

Thank goodness they revised this delivery timeframe to stop making year-end promises. My guess is, most of us waiting in California have a vehicle parked in some parking lot near the DC and are working through the backlog to catch up between now and end of the year. I’ve been quite tempted to just drive by Burbank and see if they can provide a more realistic delivery expectation, but figured I will be patient and wait.

If they just gave me $1850 off and made me quit till after Jan 1 I’d be fine with that.

This is getting nuts, and driving me nuts... TRUE STORY: I dreamed about getting VINS (5 of them) last night... and was so happy...
Then I #$@%& woke up and realized I'm in the current status as 8 weeks ago.

Thanks for listening to my rant

Nice, can't wait for a Tesla Club down in Socal to make an announcement "All right guys it's time for our monthly meetup! But instead of Souplantation we're going to have a meet up at the local delivery center to help out with deliveries and sh*t !"

Might be interested if lots of beer was involved

GAAAAAHHHH!! I think Elon dislikes my posts and deemed me the last person in to get their car in Costa Mesa. BOOHOO

So starting tomorrow, it will be the 8th week of waiting, even though it says estimated date is 5-7 weeks. I'm waiting for it to reduce down to 2-4 weeks from order date.
HO HUM

We waited 14 weeks on our Model X in 2018.

At the delivery event last week the guy explained that the factory is like a fire house. It generally can only point at one market at a time. Early in the quarter it point outside the US. Later in the quarter it starts pointing into the US, with California being last because they can get the cars quickly to much of the state from Fremont.

Thanks for the info! I hope with the China factory up and running and covering for APAC and/or EMEA, the future Tesla lead-times will be shortened for all.. until the CyberTruck rolls into production.

My SA finally stopped ghosting me after 2 weeks and gave me a timeframe of Dec 24-27. I ordered on Oct 31st. This is so inconvenient for me not to mention more than a week past the estimated date.

Only 4 days left before I leave Cali for Christmas

Ordered 11/16
Vin:null

great news for you! Hope it's a smooth process in getting your car..

I think when they call me, i'm going to ignore them, just like they ignored me the last 8 weeks... Fight fire with fire. HAHAHA!

In San Jose, ordered a Model 3 AWD in white on Oct 12, still no VIN in source. My SA actually replies to my emails though, so it could be worse. Not that he has any information for me, but its better than being ghosted.

 

[CrazyCaliLib]

The distribution of cars makes no sense. Supposedly its further orders have priority regardless of date ordered but I'm seeing norcal orders made after mine getting it before me in socal. This is upsetting.

Just got off the phone with the Buena Park Delivery Center. They said if you don't get a Vin M,T,or W this week that you will get your car next week. He said they are getting hundreds of cars a day and guarantee we will take delivery before the end of the year.
