Today was the first day I didn't check my EDD upon waking up. About 15 minutes later, I got the schedule delivery text! Picking up on Tuesday.
This is the best advice on this forum. Let it go and it will come.
Good luck to you all. I wish I could repeat my delivery experience all over again. I went into the process hoping and wishing the car won’t have any issues (cosmetic), and I was so worked up on that desire that I could not really enjoy the moment for what it was. My advice: get excited (I’m sure you all are), enjoy the moment, especially when you first set your eyes on the prize amongst a sea of vehicles parked in the lot, and then take it from there. The car is indeed amazing.
Received confirmation text that car has left factory being shipped to NY. EDD unchanged of Nov 15 - Dec 13.
Hopefully timing will end up lining up with my schedule but we all know how these things go!

Fremont, California is the only factory delivering Model 3 vehicles to North America.
Interesting that a 389 is out of factory, no word on my 387. You would think they would be in order.
No sooner do I get a new VIN than I get out of a meeting today to a text informing me that my Tesla has left the factory and is en route. Guess it’s time to start getting excited!
My 392xxx VIN left the factory today too.
Yeah, I received a text this afternoon telling me my car has left the factory and that I would receive another text in a few days to schedule my pick-up.
A bit about the whole camera calibration thing for those of you taking delivery soon:
I just recalibrated my cameras and noticed that there's a "progress bar" for the calibration process. It will show up as a blue circle around the Autopilot steering wheel icon in the upper left of the screen. It's not a linear progression, so it's not measuring miles or anything like that. I was at about 3% for a couple miles, then it jumped to 60% or so, then settled down to a more steady progression. I think it took me about 20 miles to the complete calibration process.
Also, FSD Beta requires additional camera calibration. That is displayed on the Autopilot page as a numerical percentage. After my 20 mile trip it was at 93%, and I drove another few miles to get it to 98%. I'll finish it up on my drive, I'm sure.
For the curious, I only recalibrated to see if FSD Beta's behavior would change. Perhaps the calibration process has altered in the last 9 months. It's not something that you would normally do with your car.

Tesla trade-in offers are now officially a joke. They quoted $21500 for my 2018 3 RWD with FSD. 74k miles. This is nowhere near what you can buy the vehicle for through any number of retailers or what KBB says the trade-in is worth. Three months ago, Tesla was offering me $38k. I will sell it via private sale or through Vroom, Carvana, Carmax, etc.
