Tesla has to be paid in full before they deliver the car in Texas. I am not sure if the car can be in state or out of state when they accept the money. But, once they are paid, they bring the cars to the state, prep them for delivery, and then hand over to the customer.
Not to beat a dead horse, but take a look at the main VIN assignment forum. VIN Assignment Very hard to find an entry where someone got their car this month. Even weirder is someone who is scheduled for delivery in late June - which means Tesla not trying very hard to delay shipments until Q3. Deliveries setting up to be just awful which means either production is awful, or finished car inventory is exploding - which Tesla cannot afford to do while laying off 9% of their people.
Did your edit button disappear (assuming that means Vin assigned)? I'm in TX, had July email and noticed edit button gone this morning.. 7 weeks from config.. So there's hope!
I just looked at my Calendar and noticed we are 16 days away from July 1st. If this is indeed the magical date that Tesla needs to wait until to push the full $7,500 tax credit to the end of the year -- and some of you posit that they are delaying USA deliveries until then -- I would say I 100% agree.
Thankfully in Q1 2019 Tesla can sell as many cars as possible and they would still all get the full credit.
Yes, they said they hit 3500 units a week in the shareholder call.
Yes but 16 cars is basically nothing. If you believe they are making 3,500 to 5,000 cars per week, but only delivering more like 2,000 per week, that means 1500 to 3000 per week stacking up somewhere. 16 is less than one hours production....
I am afraid I dont agree. I have seen some notes about car carriers but think about what the volume would have to be from Fremont. 2,000 S/X per week plus 3,500 M3 a week is 5,500 total. 7 days a week, 12 hours a day, 8 cars a truck is 8 trucks an hour every hour. No one is reporting truck loads in that volume that I know of.We know that production is not awful. There are numerous reports of multiple car carriers loading continuously throughout the day. Your example of one person taking delivery at the end of June does not support your assertion that "they're not trying very hard to delay shipments," since, of course, it's only one data point when we would normally expect a whole slew of deliveries in any normal month (June is not normal due to both the Canadian and US tax credit situations). I also don't see how the growing inventory and the 9% management layoffs are related. Company restructuring has been known for a while and should be taken as a positive sign for gross margin and operational efficiency. I don't expect to see a big boom in US VIN assignments until the last week of June - or perhaps even the first week of July.

Something doesn’t add up here IMHO. Why not invite more as Elon said they were going to do in a recent tweet? Even if they invite now they can delivery after July 1 and not endanger the credit. If delivery is 4-6 weeks they only have a few days left to hit the May-July windows AND take care of the backlog. On top of all that there are still a lot of early invites that haven’t even been invited to order a D/P model.
- No new invitations to configure for almost two months.
They have no need to invite more people to configure if they had a sufficient number of people configure and order AWD and/or performance versions. It is entirely possible that they have well over a month's worth of those to build before there is a need to invite more people.Something doesn’t add up here IMHO.
