at least your ISA replies. mine doesnt pick up my calls or answer my emails anymore. i haven't even really been blowing him up either, just once every 2 days i'm asking as nicely as possible if there is any update. i'm about to not be so nice anymore.

I just got pushed back a week for delivery.
I don't know what the problem is.
I went to a Tesla store today after being pushed back and there were a number of customers there trying to keep up their passion after being pushed back a 3rd and 4th time...etc.
Someone has to be able to do something besides Elon. Why is it that he seems to be the only one available to dictate getting something done? I don't know what to do.
Maybe I'll tweet Elon and try to convince him to take my money.
I've brought this up in other threads. Its really unfortunate they didn't build up the infrastructure to support the deliveries. They should have been scaling this while they scaled production.

I've got a baaaad feeling that TX priority is slipping because it's not a "delivery now" and they might be able to book them late in quarter like CA deliveries because the car is bought before it's shipped, so TX stuff is a late quarter push....but we don't see them until 1-2 weeks later? I don't know if that is true of the accounting.
They have been building it up over time. But it's steep ramp, and also laying out cash and increasing overhead commitments is risky without the production to use it, so you have to sort of time that, too.

Yep.....
Maybe Elon needs to take over delivery now - as well as production.
Elon Musk just took charge of Model 3 production, saying it’s his ‘most critical’ job right now

We pick up in Raleigh on Sat (8/4), and are coming from over 3hrs away. Looks like we need to get on the phone to make sure our car is on the lot, and if they're able to push out a contract on the day of delivery! Between a planned vacation and a work trip we wouldn't be able to pick up the car until the 14th.
We're doing a "cash" purchase (Lightstream - loan was funded this morning), so we don't need the contract for funding at least.
ISA may give a call ~48 hours before delivery. If not, I would call them a day before delivery and ask about contract and vehicle location. I would also ask if the vehicle passed final inspection/review at delivery location, and color/configs of the vehicle.
BTW, VIN# from my tesla account dis-appeared today. Wondering if Tesla would honor new delivery date
. I am doing cash purchase and no trade-in.When compared to mine... your timeline seems... different. I've been awaiting contract finalization since 7/18. No word yet. I'm in TX though I can't fathom how that makes a difference in getting to the MVPA available on website and able to pay stage. I'll keep waiting though!
last time i spoke to him was last thursday where he said he had no ETA and has no control over the contracts team. i emailed and called friday but have received no response yet. i'm trying to remain patient as i understand it is probably out of his control. but with each day that goes by, i do lose a little more patience. when i spoke to my isa on 7/18 and he told me things should happen quickly and to expect delivery 8/2, i did start planning around that timeline - selling my existing car, etc. now all of that is in limbo as i have no eta at all as of this moment.
I messaged my Tesla rep this morning, I haven't contacted them much recently, because I don't want to bother them, and I'm sure they have probably dozens of people saying the same things. He did give me an update on my stuff though.
For context, I'm in the DFW area of Texas, I've been waiting on a contract since 7/17. I have not paid for the car yet, but I am in the process of delivering a guarantee of title to Tesla, via my lender. I asked if that would have any affect on my delivery and this was the response I received:
Hopefully this helps someone else.
