SameI am in LA and ordered 10/18 and haven’t heard a thing in 3 weeks. I don’t expect to get my car in the next week. Maybe in December.

I guess they're making all Bay Area folks go to Fremont?
Dang! I’m also in LA so chances are I will also be seeing it in December. Keep in touch so I can have a semi idea. I just ordered 11/4, white interior, which I’m realizing may delay it.I am in LA and ordered 10/18 and haven’t heard a thing in 3 weeks. I don’t expect to get my car in the next week.

Well, that's weird. I'd have preferred home delivery or delivery to my nearest Service Center than an hour's drive to Fremont, especially after reading stories about long waits there or not being able to locate a particular VIN among the throng of vehicles. The only other delivery option offered me was Rocklin, which is an additional half hour away.No, they won't LET Bay Area folks go to Fremont. Home delivery was the only option available for me.

Can yo do your voodoo and break down the 0-30 as well? I drive a Gen 1 Volt and would love if the Tesla is faster from 0.
I ordered my Red MR 10/18 . Not a res holder. East coast.. May switch to LR if available..Has anyone received red MR yet?

Thanks @ivan801 for helping to inform how “real world range” works. It’s greatly affected - in an adverse way - by two key factors: speed and temperatures (cold outside means lots of energy/kWh must keep the batteries and humans warm!). As soon as one drives over 65 mph, range goes way down. Likewise cold weather zaps lots of kWhs just to keep the batteries warm and safe. Then cabin heat really sucks the power, too. One helpful trick to get better range is to minimize use of cabin heat while turning on heated seats to stay warm (since these are more efficient and use up fewer kWhs than running cabin heat at 80+ F. Oh, Utah hills also obviously use more energy than flatlands, so not much one can do there short of moving to a less beautiful, non-mountainous, boring location.OK, so just to clarify a couple of things. Heat: yes, I use heat, set at 70F. Battery balancing: I have charged to full several times now, I think that batteries are probably balanced. Wind conditions: it was a calm day. Ambient temp: ranged from 30F in early morning to 50F in the afternoon. Wheels: original Aerowheel with covers. Regen setting probably does not matter much for my type of driving, but I left it on standard. Terrain: start and finish at home, typical Utah highways with some hills. Nothing crazy.
As a former (recovering) LEAF driver, this range is actually very impressive. As a comparison, 2018 LEAF with advertised range of 150 miles can barely make it from my house to my mother-in-law and back on a cold Sunday when I can drive at around 80 mph both ways. Total distance: 82 miles. Battery left when I get home: about 5-8%. However, on a mild day, driving slower (around 65 mph) I can get my LEAF to do 125 miles (actually did this, had 3% left on arrival, was passed by EVERYONE on the freeway). And no, I could never get 150 miles out of it in real life, as that would require driving at around 55 mph or less with no heat or AC. In contrast, I think that I could do 260 miles in my Model 3 if I tried, just has to be a warmer day and I have to keep my speed below 65 mph.
That has crossed my mind as well. West coast here.I ordered my Red MR 10/18 . Not a res holder. East coast.. May switch to LR if available..
It has crossed mine as well but then I think it hasn't even been 6 weeks yet which was the minimum stated timeThat has crossed my mind as well. West coast here.

Adding a data point, I'm in the bay area, live 45 min from the Fremont factory and home delivery was my only option during the order process for an MR as well.
