Yes cars that are in transit are considered as part of inventory, same with cars sitting at the factory waiting for transport.Does "inventory" include actual factory production - in transit / waiting at the factory or just what is in stock at the showrooms currently? We all know how the delivery end of things is going...

I'm in the same boat but my end date doesn't change just the first date.
When I placed my order I never thought it would take this long. I thought I was early enough in the price drop wave that I would have got it before the end of March. I guess I was wrong.
I ordered a 3 in 2020, and it took 49 days, as of now it would be 92 days if I take delivery on 4/18.

Still waiting on VIN
I guess the definition of "inventory" varies depending upon what you are talking about. The trouble is on waitingfortesla and in Tesla's Inventory from their website do not include at the factory models and ones in transit but rather on prem at the showroom for the most part. This excludes a large bunch of vehicles.
Big update! Checked inventory randomly because I have crippling anxiety and there just happened to be a MYLR W/W 20" coming to the Phoenix area, and I went ahead and snagged it! Picking it up next week on 4/11. Fremont build, no other options beyond the above mentioned.
Initially ordered a MYP in hopes of a faster delivery (that def didn't happen), but I'm super happy to be getting a MYLR. White interior will stand out a bit from the pack, and even though I live on the surface of the sun I can pretend that the white interior is less hot and that I'm in an igloo while I roast alive under a glass roof.
Didn't care about the 20" wheels but range is only 12 miles difference between the inductions and geminis so I imagine road trip charging will be exactly the same, and at least these tires can be rotated unlike the uberturbines on the MYP.
Sounds like people have had good luck with the acceleration boost if they really need extra over the MYLR's acceleration, so that's always an option.
A little over two months from my order date. Not my initial configuration, but I'm thrilled to be getting it as my current car is just about to croak.

UPDATE!!!!!!
I just check and I now have a VIN! No text or anything I just happened to check and my EED updated as well.
New EDD 11 - 4/11-4/18 (Now with VIN)
Nice!! I am hoping I'll get the same update by Monday 4/7
Looks like they are finally fulfilling our orders at the Pacific Northwest - We all have the same order date.
This is the most frustrating part to me...my exact build is currently in inventory in Dallas - two hours from me which is only 40 miles closer to Austin than Tyler. By all rights, that vehicle should have been delivered to Tyler and not Dallas. That also shows me that, yet again, they've made a batch of this build and put the vehicle in inventory instead of selling it to me. Weird.

Alternatively, you can just take the car by paying $250 more without losing the car (now that the price is back down )WaitingForTesla shows that it was built today and is currently in transit. On hold with Tesla. It'll probably be gone by the time someone answers.

I think the reality is... your car VIN will be assigned within the next 48 hrs.

Overall satisfied with the build. Frunk, trunk, door gaps looked fine and reasonable based on other's. Only two major issues:
(1) interior front door panel alignment is off for both front doors, is this normal/acceptable?
(2) paint scratches on the interior of the passenger door

I spoke to a nice guy with Tesla who lives in Dallas and has been to Tyler many times. He said the vehicle has been built and is at a rail yard in Austin. It is going to Dallas and that cannot be changed. He said if I wanted to reserve that one, he could assign this one to me and I wouldn't have to pay another order fee. The downside is that I would have to find a ride to Dallas (probably next week). I decided to wait for one to be delivered to Tyler.
I did have to chuckle when he made the comment that "the delivery dates in the app are usually pretty accurate" when I asked about the likelihood of my VIN being assigned soon.
Found a perfect match in the Austin inventory that came up and snagged the VIN. They are honoring the agreement made when I made the order. I am excited but not happy I had to hunt one down, it should have been assigned to me without me having to hunt one down. My pre qualification was expiring today for my loan so I had to pull the trigger. Almost over!
Another perfect match to my build allocated to inventory in Florida rather than fulfilling my order. Build date is yesterday. Very frustrating
How to reveal your Tesla VIN number before it's in your account
Quick tricks to find the VIN number of your new Tesla before it appears in your account so you can focus on the paperwork.

Found this old article to locate TESLA VIN. I already have a VIN and not sure if this will work withs others who have not got their VIN. Worth a try. Wished I had found this earlier, not that it would have made my VIN assignment any faster but, just some satisfaction. Please don't take this any confirmation of any sort, as it is ultimately upto Tesla to assign VIN number and can change anytime.
As there has been a surge of comments today along the lines of "why is there a car in inventory at location X that matches my exact order!?", I thought I'd ask Chat GPT this question for fun:
Q: Why do some tesla builds go into inventory somewhere rather than being delivered to fill an existing customer order which is an exact match?
Q: Why do some tesla builds go into inventory somewhere rather than being delivered to fill an existing customer order which is an exact match?
Also, still wondering if @Skunis will get the Model Y, get the Rav4, or get the Model Y and a divorce
After two and a half months on this roller coaster, I finally decided I've had enough whiplash. I called Tesla back and had the Dallas-bound vehicle assigned to my order. I finally have a VIN even though I had to locate the vehicle myself and will have to travel farther to pick it up. I'll need to find a ride to Dallas - my delivery appointment has been scheduled for the evening of April 12. I could have waited until a match showed up in Tyler, but I'm tired of the uncertainty at this point and need to get on with living life instead of tending to the blisters on my thumb caused by feverishly swiping my smartphone's screen to check for updates all day long.

Still married! Dealer never emailed me spec sheet on the RAV4h. Holding pattern there. I figure if the MY comes in first we go that way.As there has been a surge of comments today along the lines of "why is there a car in inventory at location X that matches my exact order!?", I thought I'd ask Chat GPT this question for fun:
