I texted my SA asking if they could provide any more insight into when my car might be made. Really I was just asking if August is still on the table. All I got was crickets kinda to be expected but still a little disappointed. Oh well. For some reason black on black sometimes seems to be the dark horse of deliveries and I'm hoping that's not the case this time with my order

Just got a text from Tesla and got excited thinking it was my VIN but it was soliciting me to consider trading in my current vehicle with a link to get a trade-in offer. Hoping that's a sign I'm getting closer? Ha! Anyone else get that text?

Just got a text Message from TESLA as well. They were asking if I would like to trade in a vehicle. Interesting, maybe we are seeing some sort of movement? LOL
Hi everyone,
Ordered my Model 3 3/1/2022 and it continues to keep getting pushed back. Originally it was EDD July, now its Oct 15-Nov 26. I live in Las Vegas, NV. Is this normal? My lease is up Oct 1 so now I am stuck purchasing my vehicle if it doesn't come in time (which most likely won't).

Yeah, I received that text as well. Likely a big push to get used vehicles into their inventory given the rates that used vehicles are going for at the moment.
No change on my EDD...still sitting on a 4 wk window.
Ah. That'd be why I couldn't see it. Thanks for the reply. Much appreciated.
oh yes, everyone has been experiencing this. You should follow the LR/P/SR order threads. Some have had to wait over a year from order date to get their cars. I assume you ordered the Standard Range, so if you need it sooner, upgrading to LR has shown to work. I ordered in March as well and my dates kept slipping. So I switched to LR and got my car within a week.
Damn, they just hiked the price....glad I bought stuff earlier. But Either way its a hell of a deal. From all the posts I've read these seem to be the best. I'd always gone weathertech but there super expensive and get kinda of slippery and feel hard.

Common terms
SA = Service Advisor. This is your contact with Tesla until you've taken delivery of your vehicle.
EDD = Estimated Delivery Date. It is important to understand that this is only an approximation, not a exact prediction.
FSD = Full Self Driving. This is an optional feature of the vehicle.
VIN = Vehicle Identification Number. This is a unique identification number found on all Tesla vehicles.
Ordering FAQ
1. You have an SA, even if you ordered online. Just reply to the text you got when you ordered (Welcome to the Tesla family....).
2. SAs exist to help with the order and delivery process. They won't tell you anything more than you can learn from the Tesla app.
3. Your first EDD is likely the most accurate. Frequent updates or a lack of updates are no indication of progress on your order.
4. If you make it into an EDD without a VIN, you'll get a new EDD on the second day of the current EDD.
5. EDDs occasionally jump out by months. These are glitches that usually correct within a week.
6. VINs can come at any time. EDDs are refreshed twice a day (but yours may not change for long periods of time).
7. A text asking about a trade-in of your current vehicle is not indicative of progress on your order.
8. Expect to wait 100+ days for your car. There was a huge surge in order volume starting in March due to gas prices.
9. East coast deliveries happen in the first two months of a quarter. West coast happen throughout, but can greatly increase at the end of a quarter.
10. Occasionally, vehicles are delivered much earlier than expected because another person cancelled their order or refused the vehicle.
11. There are two headlight types; premium and matrix. There is currently no guarantee as to which will be installed on any given vehicle.
12. Ryzen chips, double pane front glass, and lithium ion 12V batteries are standard on all vehicles.

Congratulations! Picking up in Chi? I ask bc we had a similar situation with putting on hold due to the new IL EV refund. I took mine off hold 6/28. Got my VIN assigned 7/18. EDD now stands at 7/31-8/4. Somehow you will get yours sooner so curious if pick up location comes in to play at all.
$179, not too much of a jump (considering they have $50 coupon)
I'm picking up at the Lisle location (Chicago suburb). Not sure when your OD was, but I rejected a VIN early June since it had premium headlights, which then made the decision easy to put it on hold for the EV rebate.
