How much energy is required to extract and refine petrolium products? Between the drilling, fracking, pipeline distribution, and trucking of refined products there is quite a bit of energy used there. Not to mention that an electric motor is way more efficient than an ice motor. Source Motor Trend: Electric Vehicles Are Way, Way More Energy-Efficient Than Internal Combustion Vehicles.How much energy will be required to recycle batteries? Where will this energy come from? If it comes from renewable sources such as solar or wind, how about the energy required to build the solar cells and wind generators?

I wasn't seeing inventory here in GA too but was seeing in other states next to GA but i realized GA cars are only available to FL and vice-versa but since past 6 days they are popping up a lot especially in FLThere is NO inventory for the Pacific Northwest... ask me how I know
For those who are looking to find a new MYLR inventory (before March 30th)on waitingfortesla.com, you may want to make sure the vehicle listed has atleast 1 mile. I was talking to one of the St.Louis store employee and he said he cannot assign the car to me (it had 0 miles listed) since it doesn't have a VIN. The tesla chat number said the delivery date will be 15 days out. I was surprised to find out later that the car was not built yet.
Tesla, Inc. you are supposed to put your reservation number (RNxxxetc) in, but my credit union put the VIN in and the bank check was cashed.
a carbon footprint line has to be drawn somewhere for multiple reasons - otherwise, you would include the fuel used by the vehicles to extract the minerals, and even the carbon footprint to manufacture those vehicles, and so forth and so on. you also have to factor in "who is responsible for what emissions?". I worked on carbon reporting software for years and companies have to ensure that there's not double coverage of GHGs. it's literally a science to track all of that data that goes well beyond what I can fathom. I'm definitely an idiot, but the ownership of emissions and delineation of who is responsible for what makes me downright brain dead.
I went back and forth with that since the difference between the MYP configuration and I ordered, and the MYLR I eventually switched/matched to was only $500. In the end, it was the tires, replacement, ride and the higher insurance cost led me to switch to a MYLR..
Clearly, you have never listened to a TSLA earnings call ...
TSLA's Gross Margin is scrutinized by wall street, investors, short-sellers...
LOL!! Tesla does NOT have a public relation dept... furthermore.. they have (virtually) no Customer Service. Fortunately, I don't bicker much and the only service my 4 yrs old 2019 Model 3 has had in the last 4 yrs is the refill of windshield fluids, which I can handle myself.
These Tesla Fkers still owes me $100 for solar quote to which they NEVER processed and cancelled on me. Never returned the "$100 Solar deposit - fully refundable". The TESLA customer service is the armpit of the service industry. I put up with it because I've owned the stocks for the last 10 yrs and the Tesla car is 2nd to none.
Yep, that was a typo on my part.I think you mean $56,990 - that was the MYP's price from Jan 12 - Feb 3.

Finally a worth while update after so long.EDD updated on 2/5: 3/15 to 3/31
I've been checking the Tesla app obsessively so it's about time I got some good news
EDD updated on 2/14: 3/23 to 3/31
EDD updated on 2/28: 3/18 to 3/31
VIN assigned today (3/9): PA087XXX
The EDD no longer shows but supposedly that's a common thing that happens and not an issue so I'm not worried, just anxious
I hope you you are using the Discord app and the waitingfortesla.com discord channel. Setup alerts for the states you are looking for. That was very helpful and how I found my car. And it is way better than searching for inventory on tesla.com for a specific zip code.There is NO inventory for the Pacific Northwest... ask me how I know
All those whose dates were pulled in to March, you may want to call the TESLA phone number and ask for your soft delivery date (which is what they've planned for now). After looking at reddit forums. and having seen people call, I decided to call as well. After an hour's wait, I got through and they gave me a rough date of April 12 to April 16. They can do everything they can to deliver in March (or so he said), but for now they see in their system that this is setup for April 12 to April 16. Sorry to be the harbinger of bad news. 
@davemc @erktrek @BobSNC fingers crossed. They just kept saying March is just an EDD which they will try to fulfil but for now April 12 to April 16 is the date they see in their system. Either these guys have the updated date, or they don't have the updated date after the dates were pulled in to March. Why would they pull the dates into March 2 days back? Beats me!!!

My date used to be April 3 to May 15 at one point but was pulled up to March and I got the VIN today. I feel as though they are making pretty good progress on March EDD orders but there will definitely be some people that are pushed back to April again (Happened to a family friend of mine). Overall I think it's fairly random how it's determined who will get a VIN number and who won't.All those whose dates were pulled in to March, you may want to call the TESLA phone number and ask for your soft delivery date (which is what they've planned for now).

Also I doubt this had any effect but I did just place an order for a mobile charger as well as an additional J1772 adapter for emergencies just yesterday. Likely a coincidence but still weird.
