My car came off the line 4/22, VIN 2341XX, has been in FLL since 5/11. I just called since the target date for the charge port is today 5/23. S/A said "give it a couple of days for them to get the car ready." When I asked if my car was currently getting the port put in today she said she would call the service center and call me back in 1 hour ......... let see.

EDD updated this morning to May 31 - June 14. Absolutely wild.
same here, except 83 days. i have a 243xxx VIN, assuming I'm not getting matrix lights at this point, but who knows.
I'll be shocked if your EDD holds. You ordered over a month later than me. Only difference in our configurations is the wheels. You have June/July EDD while I got bumped to Aug/Sept. I hope your EDD holds, but I would be shocked. Of course it is Tesla, so anything can happen. There have been some fortunate folks to receive vehicles in less than 30 days. If I end up in mid-to-late August, I'll be closer to 150 days.
Told ya. No doubt you'll get a VIN shortly after. Also, considering your OD, did you get the grandfathered price? I obviously can't expect that for me since I ordered after the price hike, but you should view that ASAP to make sure you're not being charged for the current LR price.
I wish. I thought I would have a sooner EDD since I have the 19" wheels but don't think I will make the June push and I'm so mad.
Looks like switching to LR will pay off handsomely for you!
It depends on your location and the work involved. I'm in the DC area, and needed to have a 60' run of #6 cable. $1300. In general, getting multiple estimates is the best way to find out what's reasonable and what's not. I only went for two estimates because the second guy charged me for an estimate. You can go broke just trying to do your due diligence.
A request for folks making update posts. Could you include the number of days you've been waiting? That seems to be the one thing that we could really focus on. I went through all this before things went crazy, so I got a VIN at day 34, and took delivery at day 47. In comparison, folks seem to be taking delivery out around day 100 now. If you're waiting, you should probably set your expectations based on the number of days you've been waiting, not on whether you have a 2 week window, or are a day from a 4 day window, etc.
I ask this in hopes that it will become easier to spot what's going on and to help set expectations for others who are new to the process. Anyone here could go back and tease out the elapsed times from the posted dates, but I think more eyes would pick up on more information if we got those elapsed time numbers out in plain view.
Something that I just tripped over is an article that summarizes lead times for ordering a new car from various manufacturers. It's from a UK media source.

It depends. When was your home built? How far from the breaker box is it? What city or region in CA are you in?

It was the pre-hike price - $50,990.

Looking at your sig, you seem to have the base model. The wheels are probably the reason why I was pulled closer to today. If you were to upgrade something like white interior, 19" wheels, or Black/Blue/Red, then you'll get it sooner since your build isn't base.
Edit: I loved the way Aero looks, but I switched to Sport to see if I can get my M3 sooner than later, and I learned to admire the way the wheels look with MSM.
From my research, seemed like 45 days was the window, but during these times it has changed to around 90-100 day mark like you stated. For me today is my 72nd day!
literally blows my mind lol. Why are we waiting on parts that are being installed on brand new cars built well after ours.
Perfect. Must feel great upgrading from RWD to LR. More money, yes, but it's worth it.It was the pre-hike price - $50,990.
hmmm that's an interesting point. if I go on the tesla site and order my exact spec w/o aero wheels it says EDD is Aug-Nov 22'. If I switch to Aero wheels, it jumps to Oct-Jan 23'

Thank you - It is bitter-sweet. I'm glad to be able to upgrade and see the benefits, and I feel like I am getting $6k in value. We're very excited despite the added cost. But the way Tesla treats RWD customers is appalling, as is how they do business in general. Dropping the charger, stringing folks along with no communication....they are a trillion-dollar company. I emailed every service center in my area, monthly, asking for help and every single one ignored me. I have not been spoken to by a human being since I ordered. They can do better than this.
