Yes, you're right in that Fremont produced the M3s worldwide. I was thinking in the context of MYs specifically. Not sure if they shift the first month of the quarter to only doing M3s for international but that definitely sounds like a plausible explanation.
Press 1 for vehicles
You could inquire about the touchless delivery provided you live close enough to a delivery/service center. Some people would say that's stupid because you're accepting a car without inspecting it. But I think there's enough recent evidence to show Tesla has most of it's quality issues in check. I've only seen one or two people in the last few months say they refused delivery due to quality issues.
I actually just got off the phone with them and someone picked up right away after I entered my zip code. I am in Greenville, SC and the closest DC is in Charlotte, NC and that is who picked up. I don't know if they always put you with the closest one when you call that number but it would make sense. He was super nice and, as usual, didn't have much information to share.
There’s no option for call back for northern VA that I could find
I do not live close enough for that, but I would just pay for third party carrier, which should add additional time to the actual delivery. I'm only gone for a little over a week so I shouldn't have to get too drastic in my planning.
Is it expected to be around $199/mo? I'm not sure if I can justify that cost for the current features of FSD.
This is brutal - I've been sitting on hold for 45 minutes, no music or anything. I just got my vin (209xxx) after clicking through the Tesla vision wonder page. My earliest EDD was moving back a day at a time (went from 6/14 to 6/20 with a latest 6/30 date. After the click-through, its now 6/18 to 6/24. I need these guys to switch my "cash" option to "finance".

I mentioned to him my concern that I ordered on 5/8 and had late June EDD dates this whole time until a few days ago when it shifted to September 13 to October 3. I asked him if he thought that was even possible and he said it seems highly unlikely, and is waiting for the Model S event on the 10th to see some other things announced and hopefully things will calm down a bit with the crazy dates everyone has been seeing. He said he would be extremely surprised if it actually took until October to get my car. If it was a Model S, he would not be surprised...but a Model Y, there is no reason it would take that long.
He said they are unbelievably busy at that location, as they all are, and they plan to deliver over 1,400 just at Charlotte this month. he said there are still 23 days left in the quarter and they plan to deliver as many as possible of course, so fingers crossed I'll see my dates change to something earlier than late Sep/early Oct.
I don't know why I'm sharing all of this other than to just let you all know what I heard in case you find it interesting.
Ordered 2 days before in Tampa with the only thing different being the tow hitch... I'll gladly take it off if I get my MY.
