That’s exciting ... keeps getting more and more flowing thru !!
Btw- that white performance on the far right of pic looks like the same one ,in same spot , 2 days prior. Wonder what’s up with that?
The self reported spreadsheet has NC as one of the slowest to delivery. I wonder how much this Charlotte & Raleigh thing is really slowing things down.

Oddly per the Carolina's and North Carolina Tesla FB pages, there hasn't been a lot of complaining about delivery issues. Most of the deliveries have been on time. Obviously they have hit a snafu with losing the one parking lot which seemed more like maybe the SC was using it without permission vs it actually being sold away from them? Not sure just have parts of the story. Anyway, I know they are space limited In Raleigh and Charlotte has paperwork issues for sure. Oh the fun in NC :)

Sad to report that my M3 delivery for Aug 22 is also canceled. I think Elon is wrong to just focus on production to satisfy the wall street. Tesla's delivery process is as much a bottleneck. Repeated delivery cancellation will make consumers depressed and lose the confidence in Tesla.

Was it supposed to be Raleigh or Charlotte?

I have had 2 Raleigh delivery dates cancelled because the car is in Charlotte. Aug. 4, and Aug 21.
The delay also caused the Tesla finance rate to expire and get bumped up a notch. PPF and tint appointment was also rescheduled.
Irritating that they can't get their act together - whatever the problems.

That really sucks. If Tesla delays your delivery by more than 2 weeks, I can't imagine mine will be delivered anytime soon. Do you have an estimate when Tesla will delivery yours?

This has to be causing a delay for Charlotte planned deliveries as well. Has anybody pushed back on any local Tesla employees about what they are doing to correct this bottleneck?

If anyone heading out to the Charlotte lot anytime soon sees a white/white performance Model 3 with 20" wheels, VIN 557xx (I saw 55829 earlier in the thread), I would certainly appreciate some pics!

Raleigh lost their main vehicle storage place, and it has been causing cancellations for Raleigh deliveries. The cars are being held in Charlotte. I also, personally, believe that must be causing some slow up in deliveries for Charlotte region as they are now holding more inventory on the lot than planned.

Yeah, I'm hoping someone is hitting the lot today, to spectate, as well! That OBM VIN 701xx should be sitting there, waiting on me to arrive Thursday.

Do you know why Raleigh lost their vehicle storage place and how long they expect to lose it? Lots of demand in Raleigh. They cannot use it as an excuse forever.

Just got a call from the new (as of last week) delivery mgr. in Raleigh. He "assured" me that he put my VIN on the list to move this week, so delivery is still possible by the end of the week(end). He seemed intent on resolving the storage/delivery mess in Raleigh.
In addition to the storage lot that was lost as reported in other posts, he told me that Raleigh was storing cars on the street and the police finally told them to get them moved ASAP. That added to the moves to Charlotte. Still no excuse - looks like extremely poor planning on the part of Raleigh/Tesla mgmt. If you have seen the Raleigh "showroom", there is no way that it is sufficient for the long term, to say nothing of the present situation.
