Financing thru Tesla. I made a mistake to select financing. Need to setup Cash. Can always do financing when the VIN arrives. Financing expires before you get the VIN and you have to redo it. The smoothest method is to setup cash with no trade-in. This simplifies things eliminating any potential snags like expired financing option or odometer not properly updated. Of course, some need these options but the simplest i the easiest.

Unfortunately I try daily as well just hoping to see it pop up. One would hope being near the Northern California area they would be quicker getting to the locations only a hop skip and a jump up the freeway but I have seen several out of state members having earlier EDD times than I do with similar OD dates. Definitely being on here tests peoples patience for sure. Hoping they start unloading handfuls a day to catch up. Does any know a way to see where you stand in the build que?
I’m OD 1/14, so I’ll be at 90 days next week. Current Edd 4/24-5/22
White/black, aero, no fsd. Scottsdale pickup.
Well I ordered one month before you (2/7) and your EDD is before mine...go figure.
I saw a guy in the order spreadsheet who ordered your car on the same date from Austin, Texas. He took delivery at the beginning of March. You must have had some incomplete task or something that caused your order to be delayed until Russia invaded Ukraine. Then all the orders flooded in. Your configuration is close to minimum, and that means that Tesla isn't going to put a lot of priority on it. People ordering loaded Model 3s are going to get their cars first.
If there was one, everyone would be watching it like starved dogs at a butcher's shop. Personally, I don't believe that a build queue exists. The circumstances around production are probably too fluid to bother maintaining such a thing. They have a database of orders with configurations, financing and destinations, along with information about transport via train and truck, and each time they finish a run of cars they run some software that looks over the orders database and figures out the next batch of vehicles that they can build so as to maximize profit.
What are the relative prices of the vehicles? He has FSD on his. That's $12,000 in pure profit for Tesla.
Putting your order details in your signature would be appreciated.

Car twin and same EDD. Ordered 2 days after you. I’m guessing our cars will come up to Seattle area together lol
Excuse me?
$12,000 in pure profit?
So, Tesla isn't spending any money on FSD? No writing software? No employees testing?
I can't imaging the MILLIONS and MILLIONS of dollars Tesla has spent on FSD.
It's far from "pure profit".
Well we all know it's not worth it, let's just agree on that. And it probably is pure profit since Elon is pretty much making the public fund R & D AND beta test... genius.
My last comment on this, since I want to keep this thread on topic...
1. No, I won't agree that it's not worth it. I purchased FSD. Others have purchased FSD. Clearly some of us think it's worth it.
2. Again, it's not pure profit. All of the employees working on FSD have to be PAID. Computers purchased. Profit is money that goes into the bank.
3. Making the public beta test isn't something new. Have you looked on Steam lately? See the number of games you can buy that are in beta? Also, having the public test something like FSD is a really good idea. A bunch of software engineers can only come up with some many testing situations. Placing the software into the real world allows the product to come across all kinds of situations that they cannot replicate.
Ok, done on this topic.
On the positive side, I'm two days away from the beginning of my latest EDD. Wonder if they give VINS out on the weekend?

I’m hoping that you do get a VIN, would be good to see more Feb orders get deliveries soon
As far as the production process is concerned, yes, pure profit. That's the essential point here. At no time would I argue that the research and development costs are small.
I'm not sure if this is a dig against Tesla suggesting that they're using government funding, but they aren't. Tesla picked up $465 million from the Department of Energy in January 2010. The terms were terrible, so Tesla paid it back early in May 2013 (and was charged for early repayment).[1]
Is that you that always talks about a signature? I don't know how to do that and I can't see a signature...I can't see anyones signature.
I found on mobile the signature often doesn’t show in portrait orientation but will in landscape.
That’s pretty much in line with my EDD and I’m also in the Bay area.Woke up to a change in EDD. Now it's May 9th to June 13th. It was April 18 to May 16th before
