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.
Order Wait 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 as long as 120 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.

If you cannot see people's forum signatures, be sure that the "Show people's signatures with their messages" option in your profile Preferences is checked. If you watch the forum on your phone, you may also have to look at the forum in landscape (wide mode).

To access your signature, click on your name at the top of the screen, then click on the figure with the gear, then click on "Signature".
You may not have access to some or all of these options until you have enough posts in the forums. The requirement appears to be around five.
There are plenty of examples of how people have formatted their information, so feel free to use somebody else's format or to invent your own. Any information that you provide will help avoid people repeatedly asking for it (and the answer immediately getting lost in the flow of posts here). We tend to use the available information to try to spot trends, to set expectations for newer arrivals - and to commiserate with the folks who have been waiting the longest.

I’m. It trying to resale just transfer my reservation for free. I can waste the 250 or someone can benefit from it. I was going to loose it anyway.
Tesla wants to discourage order scalping. Besides, if you cancel your order, everyone behind you benefits by moving up one spot.
Woke up to a 4 day EDD and a VIN !!!!!! 334xxx

Great looking car! You mentioned they are still including the charger, does that also include the J1772 adapter?
Yeah never transfer reservations that is a huge flag and they catch most people.
Thank you!
Thank you! I am happy with the car. However, if you are paying 60K+ total for a car, you expect the car to have proper finishing. Some joints inside the trunk look like they were done by a kindergartener. It's nothing major as the improper finishing does not create any functional issues/gaps in the trunk but still, it does make you think how far behind tesla is in quality control as compared to a legacy automaker.
Order reservation doesn’t equal a sale so Tesla aren’t sacrificing any sales. They are just keeping people from getting in line, making the line shorter. When it reaches a certain length, they will start letting people in line again.
That is true. Really long lead times add risk for Tesla due to the volatility in material prices. I can understand why they are limiting orders at the moment. I'm just glad I got my order in.
1 more day till delivery day!! Tesla is really worried I won't show up. Yesterday I got an email with what I should expect tomorrow and asked me to confirm so I gladly did. 1 more text last night to confirm and so I did again. This morning another text from another number asked to confirm again...and of course I did. I fully expect more confirmations today!!! Is there a need for multiple confirmations?? Tesla must have a higher than usual number of people bailing at the last minute.
EDD 7: Aug 31 - Sep 4
VIN: 333
Trade-In offer competitive with online instant offers. Prob 5-7% less than market.
Congrats on the new car and sorry for the couple of flaws but once they are fixed everything will be good. Happy you finally got it.
