just updated that sheet with my data, so looks like 3 assigned VIN's on the 6th.

I would guess Texas will be building the new Model Y Standard range model for a little while until they are fully ramped up and can add the Y LR with the new structural battery later.Well last night's Cyber Rodeo did little to answer our burning questions about increased M3 production. My guess is that nothing changes in terms of M3 and MY production at Fremont so I have little hope of dramatically improved delivery dates.
May was the target date when I first ordered and as far as I can tell at the moment it looks like it will hold up. Or course it would have been nice to get it sooner, but the silver lining to all this is that I ordered before all the recent price hikes and "saved" $5k.
So for now probably no change in production volumes at Fremont.

Out of stock again. Have to act fast when they go back in stock if you want them.

No one knows why except for Tesla. Hell even Tesla SAs don’t know why if you ask them. The EDD can go up and down based on factors not publicized. It’s not considered accurate until you have a VIN, at which point the car is actually made and being scheduled for transport/delivery so the timeline is more definite.
You would assume they would have manufactured batteries for a set amount of cars ahead of time. Anyone who placed an order over the last few months, you would think materials etc would have been allocated to provide the estimated delivery date…but who knows, I’ve seen people waiting for orders since September which makes no sense whatsoever.
Rooting for you TJ -- keep us updated
in the same boat, no change in EDD. Current EDD is April 12 - May 10, no VIN yet. Hoping for a VIN soon.

That’s usually not how manufacturing works. Most manufacturing works on the “just in time” principle which typically is the most efficient and profitable way to make things because you don’t have to worry about managing a huge stockpile of parts. Parts come to the factory just as they are needed on the assembly line.
Of course recent parts shortages and supply chain disruptions will cause delays and production stoppages so the EDDs given are simply estimates and not any sort of guarantee.
yeah honestly, I don't see M3 production speeding up anytime soon. I think it's going to be a little while longer before Texas can offset the demand for vehicles coming out of fremont. Just my opinionWell last night's Cyber Rodeo did little to answer our burning questions about increased M3 production. My guess is that nothing changes in terms of M3 and MY production at Fremont so I have little hope of dramatically improved delivery dates.

As somebody in manufacturing this is accurate. That said, things are changing. For instance, our CEO has instructed production to build another facility to store 2 years of material so this never happens again. It won’t count as “inventory“ as it’s not on the plant floor.
Yep, and as someone who works adjacent to manufacturing, I've heard this from a number of suppliers. Less emphasis on efficiency and more emphasis on supply chain resiliency.
Not counting it as inventory is going to require some creative accounting
I think he probably means not counting it as finished goods, but it's still going to be sitting on your books as a liability right?Similar threads
