Reservation on 4/1/16 and i have configured LR -RWD on June 30 and est delivery oct '18-Dec 18. was it same as yours when you ordered? and did they update delivery dates few days after your have ordered? I am just curious how the process would be after Ordering.
Did you get VIN number after configuration or people usually get VIN number just before the delivery date?
My order delivery used to be around April - August and after I configured and ordered on June 30th, the delivery estimations are changed to oct -Dec 2018
Are model 3 delayed further? I am worried now that i may not get full tax credit
As to delays, it appears that Tesla has been producing cars and squirreling then away for distribution quickly after July 1st.... Now, I assume that these produced cars they have been hiding are batched LR/RWD models, as I haven't heard of any AWD being delivered yet.
Reservation on 4/28/16.....
Configured on 6/27/18 - 7:15pm EST (almost right after they opened the flood gates for configuration).
Midnight Silver - LR - RWD - 18" Wheels - PUP - EAP - FSD
Filled out all the paperwork at that time also (registration/location/insurance/trade-in (no)/finance(cash))....
Got email from Tesla 7:30pm EST confirming my order....
Tesla website (account) showed the Sept - Nov delivery dates (wasn't happy about this!)
6/29 -
12:20pm EST - 1st email from Tesla indicating they want to confirm my config and asked it I wanted to transfer a plate or request a new plate (requested a new plate).
1:12pm EST - Email from Tesla letting me know that everything looked good and I could schedule delivery. They gave me 7/17/18 and gave me a set of times to choose from (10am / 12pm / 1pm /3pm / 4pm).... I took the 10am.....
1:28pm EST - Email from Tesla confirming my delivery time and location and assign me VIN# 258XX.
To me, it's clear that my configuration matched a car that Tesla have been hiding until July 1st.... Although I don't know the exact manufacture date, it appears that my VIN was produced in late May/Early June. I am a tad nervous that the VIN is low, as I want to be sure that this car has the updated (V2) seats... But, that being said.... It appears from Troys VIN sheet that my VIN is consistent with a batch of the same configuration that are also scheduled for delivery this month.
Waiting 2+ years for this day has been painful.... But now waiting until the 17th is excruciating! Based on reading so many delivery horror stories here, I can only hope that the delivery date stays locked in (Tesla indicates that they could move that date based on transporting the car to my Florida location) and the car doesn't have any issues.
Fingers crossed.
