So will the config offer all options now with the delayed build dates, or will you have to keep checking back to order the car you want?Alright, those of us who reserved the day of the first event, who's going to be refreshing their Tesla account to see they open up the config page during this next event?

I wouldn't count on anyone other than employees getting to configure right away.

The guest count depends on how many referral programs you hit the count on. I maxed out on the 1/15, 3/15, & 6/15. So I qualified for the event invite under all 3 programs. That is how I got +3. It appears that most I have talked to only received +1 or +2.
Thanks Erik

I wonder if these first M3 owners will be "asked kindly" to not discuss issues with their cars, or worse, to post videos or photos of their new rides???

As a former Signature and then Founder owner, I can tell you there was no request (asked kindly or not) to refrain from discussing issues or posting.
That said, Tesla has always rolled vehicles out in such a way that those least likely to publicly complain (and most likely to tell them directly of issues) are the first owners. It's a great way to suss out final production issues without creating negative publicity.
Employees 'publicly complaining' vs. 'telling their colleagues about the problems and getting fixed internally'... I know which scenario is more likely. And more effective at ensuring subsequent cars have issues fixed. Would you want fellow employees talking about your shoddy work? I wouldn't. I'd make sure it didn't happen again.

I'm happy to be someone's +1 if you're looking for a ride in a ludicroused P85D from San Francisco to Fremont. Times are flexible.
PM me if that sounds like a good plan!

According to a Teslarati article:
Tesla Model 3 “000316” VIN suggests more than 300 release candidates produced
Tesla Model 3 "000316" VIN suggests more than 300 release candidates produced
I'm wondering if any of those cars will be demos at Tesla stores?

Or it's just a Tesla employee that really loves bible references.
wait, Release Candidates don't get VINs do they? I thought VINs started from production forward.
On Electrek somebody said that a Tesla engineer driving that car said it was a SOP, Start of Production, car. (I have no idea what that means.)
Tesla updates VIN decoder for Model 3 production vehicles
Have fun at the event those that earn (referrals) or win (begging for +1) the golden ticket!
I think everything driven on public streets is supposed to have a VIN. I think they tend to use a different sequence for prototypes but they probably have their own VINs.
