That all sounds very sensible and well reasoned - but a little boring - the constant hunt has added a little daily zest

Yup have a X Performance on order. Hidden vin appeared this morning. Rang Tesla and they confirmed delivery end of March, but couldn't confirm which boat my X is on. Now trying to work out the potential one
They've not even got all the final permissions through to start building the factory AFAIK. It will be surprising to me if they're producing cars in significant numbers much before late 2021... could happen but it's not going to be as fast as China (BTW this is merely my personal, non-informed guess!)

Mine too
I think Tesla may become disruptive on "build a factory and put some robots in it" too ...
Time will tell of course
Ordered on 27/01/20, went for grey, 6 seats in black with carbon. 22 inch wheels and FSD. What about you?
I’ve gone blue, 5 seats, white interior and 22 inch alloys. Order was 17/1 according to email from lease company who say I’m on their spreadsheet for end of March delivery. Heard nothing since, Tesla don’t have a match for me yet
Interesting, my hidden VIN appeared today. This would suggest it's arrived in Houston and waiting for the next boat to leave for Rotterdam, which according to the schedule is either the SAFMARINE MAFADI or MAERSK MONTANA
Hi had a hidden VIN today which was for a 2016 X written off in 2018. It was at the top after inventory/callback/ I think it’s vanished again now. The mafadi is loading now so that makes sense
I’m not sure when mine was - I completed it online on Dec 19 but I didn’t get an email saying it’d been ordered until Jan 17th. I’m hoping end March or beginning April
I’m searching my old befuddled brain to recall my Raven MX timing and as I recall I ordered mid - August and heard nothing more until mid - October when I got a final invoice with VIN and an end October delivery date.
This timing seems about normal for an S or X being shipped in containers and reassembled in Tilburg which I understand is still the method today.
The only thing I don’t recall is when my VIN was matched but I’m pretty certain it was only a few days before I got the final invoice, i.e. around the time the container ship would have been nearing Zeebrugge.
If that’s the case late March may still be on for you although beware this is quarter end!
I timed my order in the hope that, successfully as it turned out, I would not get caught in the end Quarter delivery rush. When I collected my MX it was immaculately prepared, there were only one or two cars for delivery that week and I had a really good handover taking plenty of time.
