Dear Elon,
Your SA or Sales Advisors are as effective as a DMV agent on a holiday Weekend!!!

Same here. OD: 2/9 and my EDD has stayed at 5/3 - 5/31 since placing the order. SA has confirmed all the steps are completed
That might depend where you live. In Michigan I have had all positive experiences.
Oooo Tesla just confirmed my vehicle is onsite 
so excited
so excited
Don't get me wrong, I like the idea of choosing a different color. I took my charcoal SUV to Dallas in July and I couldn't believe how many friends commented on me having a black car down there in the summer. With so many white cars in AZ you'll stand out. BTW, the hottest temperature car I ever owned was metallic silver.

While I have nothing better to do but speculate while waiting like everyone here, I suspect the delivery algorithm likely has something to do with maximizing cost efficiency so maybe in areas where shipping cost is greater they are extending wait times when they don’t have an ideal delivery route or a fully loaded trailer to certain areas?
This could be why the performance models with higher profit margins help offset that cost.
Certainly not an excuse for the process being janky but I’m just spitballing.

Update on my M3 order....
Yesterday it showed EDD of May 5 - June 2.

I usually call 888-518-3752. Be prepared for a long wait time depending on what time you call. I think it's ridiculous the way they operate. The lack of communication is sickening. My sister ordered an ID.4 and they kept her updated through the entire process. From start of production to it being offloaded from the boat.

Dang! Sorry to hear that.. I have same order also pickup in Philly. My OD is well after you @ 2/11 and my ODD just got moved on Tuesday from May-June to 3/22-3/31. One would assume I should get an April bump too… I’ll post if/when it does.
I am in mn too. My original order showed up in a little over a month. Something is not right with your account. Did you setup cash for payment originally and are all tasks completed?
I was under the impression that Texas will begin production with only the model Y.

This involves a low-value trade-in and a cash payment. For anyone doing a trade-in, be sure to get all the information perfect the first time you enter it because their web interface doesn't allow for updates. Further, the SA doesn't appear to have the tools to sort things out. It seems that once a trade-in VIN is entered, that's it; it will stay however you describe it. I'm still not sure what Tesla thinks the condition of my trade-in might be. For the money involved, I doubt they care.
I'm an adherent to the theory that says that high margin vehicles are being built first. Tesla wants cash, so first and foremost look at the amount of cash you'll be ponying up. For those of you frustrated by the lack of activity, I think it's because a lot of people are piling on orders because of the state of the world right now, and every order that is higher margin than yours is going to be built before yours. That was a contributing factor to my adding FSD late - I want the car sooner rather than later (but having a more capable car is nice too)
My SA has been helpful and courteous throughout, though I get the sense that they're probably doing SA work as a side gig. Responses to text messages can take an hour or so, and if I text two messages, the SA will only respond to the second one - because they're undoubtedly just playing whack-a-mole with text messages being fired at them by 20 or 30 people. Further, I'm not seeing any initiative from them. For example, I got my VIN but received no notification. I just noticed it in my regular checks.
If SA work really is a side gig then we should all expect to get highly variable levels of service from them because it will be based on their personal work ethic, skill level, and personality.

Just looked at the ordering page. The standard range M3 was showing Sept. 2022 and now showing May 2022 as is the Performance Model. The Long range is now showing April. Which when I ordered my LR it was May. I am hoping that means there is some adjustment being made to address boosts in orders over the past 3 weeks.
