Thanks! That originated from the conversation happening around my very first few posts here. It was a WAG for sure (comparable to our EDDs!) but the nerd in me has been wanting to go back and plot the page number by day in this thread since the start and extrapolate out to my EDD for a better guess hah ha!

Definitely Not when you ordered. I see people who ordered month and half after me getting their Cars. Location and specs is definitely a factor. When i called Tesla CS. They said since you have red color it tends to take longer. Not sure how much truth to that but so far it looked like its true. I have Red and white interior plus not being in west coast factor in delays.
My IMR says I'm overdue for my PHA but I already accomplished my PHAQ and MHAQ. Now I've been waiting for weeks on my PCM to make it go Green. It's annoying because ASIMS keeps yelling at me weekly via email. Maybe by the time I PCS, EFMP will force the issue in MDG otherwise MPF won't let me schedule through TMO.My fiance hates all the abbreviations and abbreviations of abbreviations we have in the Air Force
Sound about right? Also, true story.
I'm sure both location and order date play a factor along with options. Wasn't denying that. But I don't think red is taking longer than any others. You and I have EDDs along the same lines as some June orders for who have other colors. Why is that? I have no idea but I haven't seen many people order way after us and get theirs except for the performance models.
That sounds terrible
Where are you PCSing too next? Also, this looks like a bunch of random letters to anyone not in the Air Force. @PatrickTM wouldn't you agree

Ahh ok, thanks for the clarification. I think my profile is complete. My overview has a check mark beside "Prepare for delivery", so i assume my profile is complete.

What does the referral do exactly, in regards to the loan?

And you will likely get your car earlier in the quarter than similar West Coast orders placed around the same time since it seems the west LR deliveries are reserved for the final 10 days of the quarter. At least that’s what it seems like for Q3.

I think red in general is delayed.
Hmmm then I hope I don't have to wait until end of quarter. I'm in Vegas so I'm not actually that far from Freemont, all things considered.
They build 7 seaters in bunches. So you might only get a few times a month where they are building them. The build 5 seaters are the time.
It seems to me that color has a big influence on delivery. Every time the body shop changes color, the painting part of production has to stop and all of the paint machines cleaned and setup for the next color. It makes sense that Tesla would group orders of the same body color into production batches. Those colors with a larger number of orders will be produced more often while colors that are ordered less are likely queued until a threshold is reached where it makes financial sense to go through the trouble to switch paints.
I would think that other options like interior color, wheel sizes, or towing should not affect whether a particular car is made or not because none of these things require retooling like painting does. No matter the wheel or seat color, it doesn't change the function of production. The only problem I can see is if they have supply constraints on things like white interior parts or Induction wheels, etc. Then it can cause a delay for orders with specific options.
I wonder if Tesla prioritizes cars with certain options because they raise the profitability of those cars. A base MYLR with white paint has less margin than a MYLR with white paint with Inductions, a white interior, and tow. They both would take the same amount of time to produce and could roll off the line together but would Tesla prioritize the latter because they make more money? Not sure.

It usually is pretty quick, but in the EOQ push, it might not be until first week of October before you see yours.
Same here my MYLR 7 seater red with black interior OD 7/4 is stuck with 10/17-11/6 EDD for almost a month now. Probably as red is costly, they are making less.

It does seem VINs appear in batches of the same color. That might be coincidence though. Given how few colors they offer across the various product lines, it's entirely plausible they could have different paint assembly lines for each color they do. I suspect they have more than one "paint pipeline" though, even if they can't do all colors simultaneously. Something tells me they're always doing white cars at the very least.
Seems like white is a constant flow and 1st out on the new quarters.
I ordered my white MYLR on 9/5 and have a February EDD. There are others who ordered earlier than me that have March or no EDD so there might be some truth to this.
