New update guys:
So I got a call again from the Costa Mesa delivery center after already getting one yesterday. This time it was still about finishing up the payment option and had told me there has been an update and that they will be expecting cars by the end of November and first week of December while continuing deliveries after that. They also told me that completing the payment portion will speed me up in the process and move my queue. They also did confirm that once I'm assigned a delivery date, I have 3 days to pick up the car before it's given to someone else.

Saw a loaded car carrier with a variety of colors of 3s in Salinas Ca yesterday. 80 miles south of Fremont. Guessing it must have been headed South.

So they are using US 101 to drive south. Smart. It avoids a lot of Bay Area traffic.

Wow, a 2019 blue LR/AWD aero white popped up in Fremont inventory this morning. $47,990 with 979 miles. I was tempted, but wanted white.
So, 2019, meaning it was manufactured at least a month ago. 979 miles, and it was not a demo. A return? The limit is 1000 miles, so this seems like whomever bought it never intended to keep it and got a free Model 3 rental for a week. Probably not an ideal prior owner. Imagine what they did with it.
eta: If they are returned, they have to be listed as used. So that can’t be it. Most likely they are all demos even though the website details say that they are not.

Just got off phone with my SA from Corte Madera, basically asking for updates. Coincidentally, a delivery manager was in the store and had new info:
Also, don't count on ordering in December and getting car by 12/31. That's my hunch. So, order now!
- NA production has definitely begun
- All orders placed in October/November (assume earlier as well) will receive VINs by end of this month (!)
- California deliveries will be 2nd and 3rd week of December to avoid after Xmas rush
- Orders placed by Dec. 1 have good chance of 2018 delivery
- They are looking at potential 110,000 deliveries this quarter

I was originally told delivery would occur mid December but had gotten a call a day after telling me that if I finalized my payment method soon, I would be able to take delivery last week of November or first week of December as they were pushing earlier orders in first. The rest would be coming in mid December up until the remainder of the year.
EDIT: This was for the Costa Mesa delivery center in Socal.

I was at the Rocklin, CA SC today and their parking lot was devoid of cars. They had one of each (S,3,X) for demo drives and one of each in the showroom. I asked them if they were still a delivery center and they said "Yes, but they had no cars to deliver". They do expect to get very busy with deliveries towards the end of November though ...

Does Tesla deliver into Mexico? If not, maybe it was going to swing east into Texas via the 10, etc. But then, that's not the optimal route from Fremont.
From other sightings, it appears southbound trucks head south on US101 and (assume) cut over to I5. The best route is to head east at Bakersfield to Barstow and then pick up I40 or I15. That's much better than traversing the Grapevine and then dealing with heavy traffic around Pasadena.
So yeah, I'll go with a California delivery center!

This is great to hear! Hopefully it turns out to be true. The holidays have me worried that it will come down to delivery Dec 26-31. Ordered Nov 11 SR+ Blue/White FSD so we will see!

Keeping my fingers crossed!
