We ordered on Feb 2nd and took delivery on 3/20. We are in upstate SC, so it had to come across the country which took a little time.

Congratulations!
If your entry is not in the spreadsheet, please add it. Helps get some statistical information.
Ask for some freebies. Did the DS tell you why?This week my DS said they pushed my order back another week - so my order is now running 4 weeks behind the initial delivery estimate when I ordered in mid-January. At least now there's no way I'm getting the old MCU now
My SA contacted me this morning to say they found an identical order to mine in New Inventory (50 miles odo) from a canceled order in Las Vegas - she confirmed in writing this car has the new MCU (VIN 902xx) while my still-not-even-in-production VIN is 935xx). I'll be able to get the car next Saturday.
I was hoping for a mid-April delivery due to the logistics and capital-gains tax advantages for the money I'm using for the downpayment, but she said she might even be able to get me the 0.99% interest rate (and avoid the risk of potentially getting 1.99% or 2.49% interest rate after April 1st).
So I ran the numbers - compared capital-gains taxes with costs from higher interest rates and it made sense to go with this new inventory model rather than wait for my custom order - and told her by text message "Let's do this."
Now to see what happens next!

Well, it's not guaranteed yet - I need to submit the finance application today after the order appears in my account (it's still showing my original order). There's still an opportunity for me to be declined funding - in which case, it was an honor to post on this forum

Haha hopefully everything goes smoothly... Good luck

I spoke too soon. My SA contacted me about an hour after I sent that message to say that the people at the Vegas Tesla showroom had left home early and she couldn't complete the order transfer - and everything's closed on Sunday - so she'll try again early on Monday morning to transfer that Inventory car for me so that it can be transported to Seattle before Saturday - assuming the car isn't snatched-up before then - so it's not quite a certainty yet. Another possibility is flying down to Vegas and doing the paperwork there and then driving it back to Seattle myself (quite a road-trip!).
It's all quite stressful - all to meet this company-imposed deadline of 31st March 2018 to avoid the interest rate hike. She couldn't lock-in the interest rate because she can only do that once the order is transferred. Tesla's internal ordering system is pretty messed-up, imo.
Picked up my X yesterday. Build date is March 2018, but my vehicle has the old MCU. A little disappointing, but it's the car that I ordered so I'm fine with it.
The delivery specialist was virtually unresponsive to emails and phone calls prior to delivery when I tried to find out details about the vehicle, like the MCU version. If I knew in advance, I would have asked if there were any inventory cars with the same specs with the new MCU and would have gladly taken delivery of that one instead.
Definitely a much rougher delivery experience than when I purchased my Model S because the delivery specialist seems over their head with all of the orders.

Are you guys taking delivery seeing a lot of Model 3’s?
Tesla count vehicles sold as ones that have taken delivery all the way to the customer. I’m wondering if part of the delays are due to M3’s taking priority on the trucks and SC’s in order to reach their Q1 goal.

Wow. Are you sure that it’s a March build with the old MCU? Not doubting, just genuinely curious. VIN Sticker on door shows 3/18 build, and you ran the web browser checker??
Is it a 75 instead of 100?
Please keep me informed!
Even without the new MCU, still looks the same. It’s not a huge deal.

Updated the spreadsheet with my delivery info. Thanks for putting this all together!
Loving the car so far. Upgraded MCU is fantastic, even the browser seems pretty usable. Lots to figure out on this vehicle tho, its like getting a new computer! =)

It's a 100D, Definitely a March build (checked the door sticker) and ran the web browser checker. Definitely old MCU
Woo - my SA told me that she was able to secure the car in Nevada and it appeared on my Tesla Account page a few moments ago:
I submitted the finance application immediately - now I'm on tenterhooks waiting for their reply. The screen said "Within 24-48 hours" - though I was continuously texting with my SA who told me that they'll get in touch long before then and likely within a few hours if not sooner. So yeah...
Now to sit and look pretty for a while until I get declined for some reason
I have it in writing (at least, in an email and text message) that it has the new MCU too.

Awesome congrats !!! Mine is the exact same color with Sonic carbon wheels. What's the interior? Mine is white seven seat. Just waiting to hear from DS (grr) to confirm Wednesday or Thurs delivery date.
