I see, thanks for the feedback.
My order date is Oct 23, which means the 90 day window is ending on Jan 23. Well, I am not planning to put another hold anyways (my 1st and only hold expired Dec 31).
That’s my exact edd and config too, so fingers crossed!
Hi from Cincinnati
Mine is LR, 18-inch Aero, Red ext., black int., no FSD order placed back in October... Multiple delivery pushbacks (February 7 to March 7 current ODD)... No VIN yet. Sent a message to Cincinnatti (Blue Ash) Tesla representative asking to expedite my reservation... Hoping to have something soon.
hey Ashn, assume you are in KC based on your location ,. I have the same config as you listed with OD of 11/21. Our latest EDD for delivery to KC is 03/03 to 03/25. frustrated too but hopefully new hardware will ease the pain of the delay

Last time this happened to me (before i put my order on hold) a VIN came shortly after, followed by delivery dates. So this is good news.
Perhaps the Tesla production people reads these blogs and messes with us on purpose.
Oh awesome! Do you know if we have to reply to it to keep the process going? I wasnt planning on trading my car in
How long after this text came in did your vin come in?
When I ordered my first M3, I got the same text and got my VIN in a couple days.
I got this message when I ordered my 2nd M3 and was hopeful that the VIN would be assigned soon but I ended up getting the VIN 2 weeks later.
So there is hope... The wait is well worth it.
Good luck and congrats.

VIN came the next day for me. But that could have been because of the end of quarter rush. You don't have to reply to it. Just ignore it if you don't want to trade in. Good luck.
Back in November before I placed a hold on the account, was assigned a VIN never got this text. I too received this text today, we'll see where this leads to.

So how I am understanding it, sometime in Q2, all 3/Y deliveries will have the Ryzen chip, but in the interim, it's a gamble?
I have a love-hate relationship with the Tesla ordering process. So happy to take the scummy dealership out of the equation, but it's also super frustrating having EDD switch up several times, and never sure about what features are coming in your car.

Though to be fair, other car manufacturers also do/did some updates mid-model year that we are/were not aware of unless you follow forums like these.

I don't think the value of the vehicle would be reduced if you have the old chip. When you eventually sell it...say on Carvana or Carmax, it's not going to ask you what chip is in the car, or if it has a Li-on 12v, or cooled seats. All they care about is what year, model, SR or LR, and how many miles is on it. These cars hold up value, where people who have recently purchased a SR+ or LR are able to upgrade to a newer model with no loss or very little loss. Like others have said, Tesla is always going to be putting out upgrades...such as the new 4680 battery that's coming out later this year. Just get the car, enjoy it...and if and when you are ready to upgrade to the new model, sell it to Carmax, Carvana, Vroom or Tesla and practically break even. The only add'l cost is the sales tax, so enjoy it and rack up some EV miles.
