I received a few messages from a lady at my local service center making sure I had everything completed on my account and then one automated text status update. Date never changed on the website, always 4-7 weeks
LR AWD Waiting Room
- Thread starter tperugia
- Start date
Just got another random text from gigafactory saying 3-5weeks, last week I got one saying 2-5 weeks. Nothing changed on my webpage, no contact from Tesla advisor. Ordered Jan 12 with FSD W/B aero LRAWD.
Same here, text last week 2-5 weeks, text this week 2-4 weeks, so I guess the worst case scenario remains the same but is definitely confusing
Received a text today saying 2-5 weeks. The text that I received on 2/6/20 also said 2-5 weeks...
Website still says 5-7 weeks from order date.

*sugar* like this really make you wonder if your making the right decision? How can a company this successful be this unorganized about production and delivery? Maybe it’s time to just take the $100 loss and run!!!
Ordered my LR AWD on 1/20 and at the time I wasn't too worried about the waiting mostly because this Model3 will replace my current commuter (2018 VW GTI). UNFORTUNATELY I have now spend countless hours watching YouTube videos and I am now checking for my Vin everyday too 
Anyhow my SA said that I should expect the car sometime in March and the latest text I got was 2-5 weeks for the car to be ready. I do live like 20 min from the Fremont factory too lol.
On a side note this is the second time I am waiting for a custom build. The last time was for my BMW M3 and I must say that the process was much better since you could really follow on the build progress and even track the ship carrying you car.
Anyway I am really excited and can't wait to finally drive it!!

This ordering process has been the craziest, most unorganized process ever, just crazy. It's a good thing the cars are so exciting because the customer service is still going through some serious growing pains. Don't get me wrong, I'm still excited about the car and in a very strange way it sort of adds to the adventure. Also nothing I didn't expect after watching the YouTube channel "Rich Rebuilds" and his incredibly entertaining used model X buying fiasco. If you haven't seen it and have some YouTube time to kill it's very entertaining (link at the bottom). Anyway, here's my epic saga so far:
-Ordered LR AWD, Red, January 18th, website said 8-10 weeks.
-Received an email from my advisor same day, sent him an email with a couple questions, no response. Sent it again a couple days later, no response, again, no response, again no response, then he finally responded.
-Jan 23rd generic text from Tesla car ready in 3-8 weeks
-Feb 6th another text ready in 2-5 weeks
- Feb 7th I sent a text to my sales advisor because email was a bust before, thought maybe text would be better. I asked if I picked it up at the factory would I get it faster. No reply, ever.
-Feb 12th I call the delivery center, spoke to someone in the delivery dept because the sales people are notoriously no help, he looks up my order number and says the car will be there mid to late next week. He also said picking it up at the factory would only save a day or two.
-the next day, Feb 13th, another text from tesla, estimated delivery 2-4 weeks
-tonight just for fun I look on the website for new model 3's and a bunch are up for sale and in my same configuration. WTH, I'll bite and throw down another $100 deposit in the hopes it actually exists.
-The car I reserved tonight is magically $2,000 more than the exact one I previously reserved and the price break downs are identical. For the life of me I can't figure out where they're coming up with the extra $2K.
Looking forward to seeing what comes of this tomorrow! I'm guessing the 2nd car I bought online tonight actually doesn't exist but who knows, maybe I'll end up with a new car soon!

Check EV-CPO and the Tesla site.. a crap ton of Models 3's just showed up in inventory in SoCal
Yeah, I just found there are also tons of new cars in bay area, I'm kind of mad because why they list those cars for people to buy instead of first delivering them to the people who have waited for months...?Check EV-CPO and the Tesla site.. a crap ton of Models 3's just showed up in inventory in SoCal
My guess is they don’t line up with what ppl have ordered. There’s a blue performance like the one I ordered but black interior. I’m contemplating changing up my car order to be a performance 3 without the upgrades...
Hmmm there is one in inventory 6 hours away. Not really sure I want to go through the hassle of cancelling my existing order given how difficult everything else has been.
Yeah, Roseville has a bunch in stock. I’m about to drop my 19” sport wheels and pick one up... I wonder how difficult it would be to cancel and order existing inventory
That's what I'm wondering too. Based on experience so far it's probably not straight forward.
Quite a few new Long Range AWD in Texas now online. Try searching in the Austin area, 78701. Good luck to all!
Ordered 2/11 (delivery timeline 5-7 weeks)
2/12 - texted welcome message, new delivery timeline 4-6 weeks (updates on account page)
2/13 - texted to tell me to fill in my delivery profile
2/13 - texted again to tell me delivery timeline moved up to 3-6 weeks.

Tesla added a ton of new cars yesterday (X,S and 3) and had thousands of price changes. The email and SMS alerts were on fire all day yesterday.
Also, they are being added and being sold very quickly. I can hardly keep up with all the new cars being added and then disappearing so quickly.
Each SMS message EV-CPO sends out has a small, real cost, and boy oh boy, did I burn through a lot of SMS alerts yesterday.

This isn't true in my case... currently in phx area, there are 5 in inventory of the LR AWD MSM, black interior, no FSD, aero wheels... which is my exact order I placed on 2/11. I'm not too worried about it as they did move my delivery date up to 3-6 weeks yesterday, and I can wait... but still, seems odd.
Maybe this is doesn’t line up with anyone in the delivery area of where the cars at? Yeah, still very odd.
