Put my order in 12 days ago, +$3500 since then.
Delivery estimated for May - June.
If I could get rear laminated glass and maybe a new federal tax credit, that would be icing on the cake!

Congrats! I ordered 2/7 and my EDD has been all over the place. A few days ago it changed to 3/24-3/31 but still no vin. What's your config if you don't mind me asking as we're right next door to each other.
Edit: EDD just changed to 4/11-5/9...
I'm not super mad though as I've heard their end of quarter deliveries are a nightmare.

It's strange that some folks who ordered in October, November and December of last year still haven't received a vin but some tho ordered in January and February have and some have even took delivery. Some being clear across the country while others closer to Fremont are left waiting. Most configs are the same or very similar. I wonder what gives...what's the logistics behind this? 
What is your config? Mine just changed from 3/24-3/31 to 4/11-5/9 and it was my 4th EDD as well. Our EDD updates are very similar.
Yea it's starting to get a little ridiculous. For a base rwd you're at $50k with any modifications to color etc...or over $60k with FSD. Over &70k for the performance. The model 3 is supposed to be their "affordable for the masses" vehicle. And please no one say they're doing it to control orders because they're overwhelmed. If they were smart they would just stop taking orders and catch up. Then once caught up just keep building them and get ahead then open ordering back up. There's plenty of places they can store them. Like at the huge Fremont factory, the over 2 million square foot giga texas or here's an idea, fully stock your service centers as well.
The one near me is huge and has room for a couple hundred cars easily. Just saying. There has to be a better way. This isn't White Castle where your food is made to order and even there I find myself waiting longer than if I had gone to McDonald's where the food is hot and ready to go. McDonald's is always packed and White Castle is usually a dead and it tastes better than McDonald's, at least to me. For all the cars they've sold I can't help but wonder how many they could have really sold if they didn't have insane wait times and prices that are, let's be honest with ourselves, too high for the average consumer... especially now. Let's be real here for a sec, you can get a similar performing car for a lot less and most likely better paint and build quality. A Civic type-r can be had for around $38k with a 0-60 of 5.2 seconds...that's faster than the base rwd model 3 and around the same size. The charger RT is around $40k as well. But because it's Elon and he has everyone hypnotized then it's acceptable...and don't get me wrong I love Tesla but they just need to get their ish together.
The prices are getting pretty nutty at Tesla, but please show me where I can get a Civic Type R for $38k. It is not even being sold in the US this year, and low mile used 2021s are going for nearly $50k. There is a new model coming out for 2023 but who knows what pricing Honda will set, and how much the dealers are going to mark it up.

Is it likely cars ordered now after the price increases would get a priority in delivery over cars ordered before the increases? Especially in regards to the end of quarter in trying to maximize relative profits?
I feel your pain. In NC and got changed yesterday morning to 5/3-5/31 after sitting at 3/25-3/31…the rules of small windows leading to VINs, just isn’t applicable for some of us unlucky ones. Good luck to you.
Slight markup...2019...but have you seen what 2019 model 3's are going for with 50-60k miles? See the thing with markups are they are usually set by greedy dealers and not all of em do it. When I bought my 22 Santa Fe a lot of dealers wanted $5k over MSRP but with due diligence, I found one at MSRP just like I'm positive I can find a type r at MSRP, took me 5 seconds to find that one. With Tesla there is no ability to search, their price is what it is lol.

I just noticed there is a demo Model 3 LR available locally and it’s an extremely tempting to jump on it. The major problem is it has 2,400 miles on it and after the remove the FSD that I wouldn’t want, the price would still be $1,000 more than what I’m locked in at on my order. Should I pay the extra grand and take the 2,400 miles hit just to be in a Tesla a month or two early??
