I ordered mine on 10/31 and my SA said that they were pushing for an early to mid December delivery date. However he did say I might be lucky at get a VIN at any point from here to December.

What's your config? I ordered mine same day before the price change -> LR AWD/black/black/Aero/FSDI ordered mine on 10/31 and my SA said that they were pushing for an early to mid December delivery date. However he did say I might be lucky at get a VIN at any point from here to December.
I just ordered LR basic Model S on November 5th. Is everyone aware that we will lose the $2500 California rebate if we don't take delivery by December 3rd? The rebate people at the Air Resources Board changed their policy on November 1st. As far as i know it ONLY affects Model S (since there are no other electric vehicles currently available that cost over $60k). I am HOPING that Tesla will take pity on California residents and prioritize Model S delivery (at least) but I have been unable to contact anyone who can influence this type of decision. (Sales rep apparently is unable to provide any corporate contact info what-so-ever).
Meanwhile, everyone should complain to their California representatives about the inadequate notice provided for the new rebate policy (One month is not adequate warning since they should know delivery is likely to take longer than that).

It seems “early/mid December” is the answer to the majority of delivery questions, regardless of order date. It’s the standard reply. Clearly they are told from corporate to never make promises they can’t keep.
... the same corporate that promised “2-3” weeks on orders placed in late September.
In the broad scope of things, this will soon be forgotten, probably the moment we drive home in a Model 3.
I really hope they're under promising so they can over deliver. that would be awesome!
So many SA saying so many different things. I talked to a SA at the Costa Mesa orientation, told me I ordered 10/01 and he said I should get mine by end of Nov. can’t rely on these SA. They’re probably getting information on this forum lol
I was given a “last 3 weeks in December for all orders.” It seems that when we order is irrelevant. I guess the delivery schedule for California people is “get it when you can.”I ordered mine on 10/31 and my SA said that they were pushing for an early to mid December delivery date.

My theory: Even if shipments within California don't start until late November/early December, that's still one hell of a logistics logjam considering the sheer number of California orders. All will be jammed into ten delivery centers. And then there's the holidays delaying things further.
Overseas production will stop real soon, or may have already happened. Given the massive shipping times into various ports in Europe and Asia, going through customs, then being unloaded onto carriers and shipped (in many instances) across a continent, then setting up and making deliveries... by the end of this year? There is (again) the holidays. Many continental European countries are deeply embedded into the Christian calendar and have a few more religious holidays than USA. All factors to be considered.
The shipments will continue to emphasize eastern locations and move westward from there. But that's not 100%. There will be some shipments made to western states (inc. California) to help mitigate the year end crush.
We will soon see some California VINs being parceled out, maybe as soon as next week. Later in the month and into early December, there will be an avalanche of VINs.
Unsure when production will start for North America? The eastcoast, midwest, & south has started receiving their Model 3's already & many members on here confirmed they got their delivery date already. Ya that just proves to me all the SA's have no clue what's going on up in Fremont.Here’s what I just got from the Buena Park delivery office, FWIW:
Hello Michael,
Yes we are on track for the Federal tax credit. The California rebate will be a little tougher to manager as we unsure when production will start for North America.
