Makes a lot of sense. Service center in Kitchener, ON, Canada has a ton of new model 3s and Ys sitting in their lots (these lots were almost empty just a month ago). However, when I look at the Model 3 ordering track sheet, there are very few orders there originating from areas near Kitchener. Even if we assume only 50% of orders actually input their info on the tracking sheet, there are enough model 3's on that lot to cover all Q2 orders from this region. I suspect they are waiting for parts but the lot is close to full, maybe 5-10 spots left open (and some of those could be out for test drives).Anyone else see this article?

They definitely have one on the lot because I was comparing it with the grey to figure out whether I should change my color (blue looks really sharp but I stuck with my MSM, my boss drives a blue and we park pretty close lol). I'm not sure if it was a "new" one though because it was parked very close to the entrance. Usually they only do that with service or test drive cars.Hmm see a blue LRAWD there with my name on it?
Similar. I ordered NEMA 14-30 adapter, extra mobile connector to keep in the garage, console trays (should really be included, Tesla...), and mudflaps. Homelink (again, should be included in a 50K+ car...) and mats I'll order closer to delivery -which is more like June at this point.

-The crowd sourced aero black wheel covers
-Matte screen protector
-Custom Tesla license plate holder
-Branded caps for the air valves in each tire
-Tesla wheel conversion kit for the alloy rims under the hubs
-A 6-50 adapter for my garage
-New garage flooring so there's no more dust (that one was Tesla inspired haha).
Going to buy some floor mats next.
Once the car comes in I will be doing full frontal PPF and ceramic coating.

Nema 14-50 adapter and installed the outlet to my breaker in the garage, black logo covers to match the door handles, wheel caps for the alloys under the aero panels, and a screen protector. Planning to get front PPF, pedals, and puddle light replacements sometime after delivery.

And I just got my Nema 14-50 installed! I’m ready to charge!

I ended up ordering this instead of homelink for the car. One, it's cheaper, but it also does a lot more with my crummy garage door opener. I really like this, works well. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B07QCTN71J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Yikes... guess that explains the delivery dates jumping around like Bugs Bunny. I haven't had a car since mid-April... the few Ford dealers that have Mach-Es on hand are getting more and more tempting...what's your guy's take on this, sorta concerning and my thoughts exactly with some of you ppl that ordered in march and still haven't received anything yet:

My date remains the same as yesterday. June 1st to June 19th.
My personal feeling has always been about mid-June. My rep says early June but I think that might be a little optimistic.

If it's of any interest, I stopped by the new Ottawa (Canada) location today. They had about 20 model 3s in the back lot waiting to be prepped (almost all SR+, a couple LR, no P) as well as 30-ish Ys. Some has a QR case sticker in the windshield saying "New Process" with the VIN and build date. Build dates for the 3s were all April 28th and April 29th for the Ys). So certainly looks like batches for sure.
Not particularly relevant for me, since I ordered "the one P", lol. They should have it slotted somewhere in the production schedule, considering I ordered it at the end of Q1.

I am at 7 weeks now.. maybe next week? LOL.. doubt it.. I bet it will be 11 weeks or more.
I'm back to 8-12 weeks after order date. It was just recently 6/19 - 6/30. This sucks..
Maybe it's punishment since my last tesla I ordered back on March 10th and got it 2 weeks later on the 24th lol. Then totaled it on April 8th and reordered this one on April 11th. I'm expecting mid June personally.

Obviously, their VIN stamping/etching machine broke ;-)what's your guy's take on this, sorta concerning and my thoughts exactly with some of you ppl that ordered in march and still haven't received anything yet:
