NEW invites are out 2/28/18

[TEG]

So frustrated, line waiter , reserved in Sunnyvale store around 11:30, still nothing!

I was in that same line around that same time... and yeah, no invite either.

I was in the Scottsdale line too. How do you guys remember what time you actually reserved? It was two years ago

Because I was counting every excruciating minute I was waiting in line and made a point of remembering what time I finally made my reservation. Were you there early enough to get a numbered ticket from "ticket guy?"

I took a picture after I finished putting in my deposit and looked at the time stamp

~11:10 am in SoCal -- no invite yet

 

[doctoxics]

Looks like Rocklin, CA has been completely left out of both of these batches.

I just got my invite. Will wait for dual drive. I was number 50 in the Rocklin line. Got there at 5 am. Got in the door at 10 am.

No. I started in line close to the entrance to Nordstrom’s. Though I just checked my phone photos from that day and I was at the entrance to the store at 11:47am.

Check your Tesla account. We just got our invite.

Buena Park Service Center (Orange County, CA)

Yes, I will add it to the Delivery spreadsheet.

White, 19", EAP

We are THRILLED!

Reserved at the same location ~11:30. Still couldn’t configure.

Hope everyone who gets invited is adding your info to the Delivery Spreadsheet! Model 3 Invites

From the dozen people from today's batch that have posted or update the spreadsheet so far the vast majority appear to be on the West coast this time, which is what I thought would happen since they will be likely be delivered by end of March for Quarterly sales.

West coast, but not Bay Area. I bet Bay Area is next for the last minute first quarter deliveries.

It's baffling that Tesla is sending new configuration invitations. I configured and received order confirmation January 30th, but have yet to receive a VIN # or a delivery estimate. Unfortunately, I sold my Mercedes this week in anticipation of this Model 3. Several scenarios come to mind including: 1) Tesla is accumulating cash at $2500 a pop for each new configuration; 2) Sub component deliveries (batteries) were delayed; 3) A major quality snafffu halted production; 4) Frustrated Model 3 candidates reasoned that they weren't going to see a tax rebate, and decided to by the S or X, which reduced capacity for building Model 3s

Regardless, y'all shouldn't get too excited about your invitation to configure. You're still several months out.

Tesla is building cars in batches by color and wheel type. They just finished up cars with sport wheels and are now assigning VINs for cars with aero wheels. Color order seems to be white, black, midnight silver, silver, red, blue, if I remember correctly. There is another thread discussing the delays in VIN assignment if you want more details.

No recent VIN assignments?

I booked in Scottsdale around in first 100 and received invite as well this evening. Configured and paid right away, don’t have anymore patience to wait for standard battery pack.
Delivery time 3 to 6 weeks!!

 

[CarveDeeper]

Got my invite today! Made our reservation online 5 minutes after it went live in 2016.
Now I'm conflicted as I'm taking over a lease of a 2016 P90D on Saturday. My wife and I looked at the 3 about a month ago and I realized I liked the S better. The 12 months in the P90D is supposed to be our "extended test drive".
What to do...what to do?!

 

[RetroGreyed]

I have followed this forum for a long time, but I never had a good reason to post until now.
Just received my invite today and gotta say I am super excited.

Spreadsheet updated
I am a non-owner
Reserved in Sunnyvale 3/31 around ~11:00 am
If I remember correctly was about 81st in line.
Original estimator was Dec - Feb which got pushed to Mar - May

Before the delays I was ready to pull the trigger and configure as soon as I got the invite, but got to say now that AWD has been spotted in the wild I am conflicted. The estimate on the configurator says Mid 2018 for AWD. Seems like plenty of others holding out to see what options materialize. Just not sure I can wait that long.

Yep, just checked and received the invite to design. I also received the official email. Online reservation, San Diego based. Hit the reserve button as soon as I could on 3/31/16 - before official unveiling.

Are you a non-owner AND non-line waiter?

 

[BluestarE3]

In CA and was a day 1 in line non-owner... 130th in line and 11:09 reservation in Corte Madera.

Same status here. I reserved in Corte Madera about 20 minutes before you and no invitation yet.

Yes, confirming, Non-Ownere; Non-Line waiter, no Tesla relationship. I reserved Online.

I went to the UTC Mall in San Diego around noon on the 3/3/16 to attempt to be a line waiter, but it was 6+ hrs deep, so I said no point and waited to place the reservation online.

The only things I've done is they invited me to test drive a Model S last summer, which we did, and I went to the Tesla Store a few weeks back to check out the M3 on display and they asked if I'd be interested in a M3 test drive when they become available, and I said sure, sign me up. That's it.

I'm surprised to hear that online deposit holders are receiving invitations. I heard they took about 150,000 deposits in the stores before the online orders went live. There is no way they could be anywhere close to fulfilling those orders. This doesn't make sense.

I placed my order online within the first five minutes but I'm still showing April-June for first production.

That equates to about 2300 line waiter reservations by location (65 locations). I kind of think that there are less than that number that waited inline (hopefully, as I was an online res).

There have been several, but only in San Diego. Appears to be a peculiarity with that particular pipeline.
