Mid Range waiting room

I just checked my Tesla account and I now have a delivery date of December 24th. That's 9 weeks and 3 days from config/order date.

Damn, I ordered 3 days after you, they are cutting it close. Maybe since I got black I'll get it earlier.
Thanks, this is very helpful. Up until this point I had no idea where to look so I ended going into each and every page looking for any changes!
Nothing like waiting until last minute, I am considering ordering an MR in SoCal and trying to get in before the rebate cutoff. Anyone else think I am nuts at this point? The ETA now shows 6-10 weeks, so that isn't promising. I'm potentially open to picking up in Fremont, especially if it gets it to me before the holidays so I wouldn't have to change travel plans.
Strange. Got call from Tesla and had high hope but he wanted to talk about Tesla solar and energy. All my dreams got shattered.
They really must be giving priority to reservation holders, I ordered before you and my delivery is a month after you! (also east coast)
I saw kathyhom from Tesla forums write this:
Spoke to a Tesla Rep. She said the cars are grouped on color and to a lesser extent, upgrades. The cars built in batches. So I asked her if I’m just waiting for a batch of Red MR with white interior to be made and she answered, “Yes”.
She also said there is no longer preferential treatment for anyone to get a car. Deliveries are based on production priority only. Basically building in batches. So if you ordered a car that was scheduled to have a batch built next you’ll get the car quickly. If you arder a car right after a same batch just finished, you’ll likely wait longer. Financing does not play into delivery as they have a week or two to sort it once you IDA is assigned.
She also explained the VIN issuance is complete;y different from the way I got my MX a few months ago. On my MX I got the VIN waaaay before production began (4 weeks prior to beginning production). Now they wait until the car is in production.
I'm pretty sure there is some preferential treatment. Seems like a lot more reservation holders are being prioritized as they should.

This sounds credible. I was told when I called to reschedule my MR delivery that they could only keep my VIN available for 5 days or so. After that, they'll give the car to someone else who ordered the same configuration and I'll have to wait for a different matching car. My concern was that they may not batch build my configuration again for some time, so I went with the next available daytime slot.
Maybe reservation holders have been following Tesla more closely and have been participating in this and other forums (or at least know about these forums), so they're more likely to post that they've received delivery notifications?
