It's got to be this month. With 4-6 weeks wait time after config (the unlucky lads who configured on 4/18 are on their 9th week btw) inviting in July is too late.I too have heard/read and starting to believe the “wait” for July so that majority get tax credit. Hoping if not this month then July 1st massive invites!
Yup configured 4/20 and still nada!
Why? If you know you have good credit and can land whatever loan you're considering, what's the rush (aside from small changes in interest rate, of course)? I mean, it takes hardly any time at all to go through the loan process if you're working with a competent bank/credit union.I want to make sure I have the loan approved before paying the non-refundable $2,500 deposit upon config... but the loans are valid only 30 days.

Damn, that sucks. And I bet they haven't even given you a call, have they?
Mind if I ask if you're paying in cash or financing? I've spoken to my Credit Union -- with whom I have a strong long-term relationship and know people by their first names -- about how taking out a loan would work since I may not get the car in the 30 day timeline that the loan certificate is valid, if Tesla takes 6 weeks or longer to deliver. As I don't have the means to drop $60,000 in cash, I want to make sure I have the load approved before paying the non-refundable $2,500 deposit upon config... but the loans are valid only 30 days.
Obviously the answer is just to re-apply... but the CU staff told me the negative of that is it will require an additional hard pull on my credit score and may drop my score, which can raise the rate. Though my FICO Auto Score would likely still qualify for the best rate, they don't know how the algorithm will handle two hits in a short time-frame, and there is a chance I may have to pay a higher rate.
Also, in the time since my original window of January to February, the Fed has increased the Federal Funds Rate... and car loans have gone up. Granted, it went to 2.24% from 1.99% at my Credit Union which is really a minor difference... but they're expected to raise it again this month.
TL;DR - Tesla, hurry up. Time is money.
No call, the only thing I got from Tesla was the pushback email for July.
I did notice my "Edit Design" button was gone as of last Thursday. I gave them a call yesterday and was told I have a VIN and that my ISA will contact me. I am financing part of the car with a loan but I did not apply as of yet, I am really waiting for Tesla to schedule a delivery date. I figure the delivery date will be a couple weeks away once they reach out. I am East Coast so there has to be some delay .
What color did you end up choosing?
The one benefit of your wait is that they updated all of the seats and apparently made them cushier and more supportive in early May.
I went with MSM, it was either that or the Blue. Yeah I really don't mind waiting, the issue I have is simply not knowing what the hell is going on. For Example
Dec-Feb = Original Estimate
Jan-Mar = New Estimate
Apr-June = Newer Estimate. Got invite in April!
4/20 - configure car and told 3-6 weeks
5/20 - E-mail tells me its now most likely July.
I just want Tesla to give me the ability to give them $2,500. I'm fine with waiting for delivery. I just want to configure.

All this time of waiting and I've gone through all the color choices as my "final pick" only to return to MSM.
I saw an MSM model s on my street the other day and it just was flatter and more meh than the pictures I’ve seen and than I was hoping. Unless it was possible I just saw a gray one and not MSM.
I saw these pics of a silver with a gray stealth xpel wrap. I love this look. Might wait a bit to do it though.
EDIT - Not my pics, were shared on a Facebook group
Posting to this thread gives us notification that your invite is coming in few days. This is almost as cruel to see and process as was Elon who said this 11 days ago.
There's a number of people asking him for updates on twitter. He keeps his silence now. Should not have said that in the first place.Ha, didn't even think of it that way!
Maybe we should all tweet at him with a link to this article and a huge "?" icon.
