My order Is in! Non-owner, reserved in store on 3/31 around 10:25 am at the Cleveland store. I was number 70 in line. Had Mar to May estimate.

Looking at the spreadsheet... looks like no love for any non-owner who reserved at the Rocklin, CA store (yet). Hopefully they aren't backed up there.

Non-owner, first in line in Kansas City, selected AWD in the estimator. No email, but was able to get into the configurator anyway at about noon. Now I just have to wait for AWD to be unlocked.

What time did you book ? You may be one of the last to be able to configure today.
I booked at 3:30 pm or so (loong queue, 700+) - can't configure.
Incidentally went to the local store to checkout the Model 3 - and the salesperson said they had opened the configuration for non-owners today !
Cool, so far 80 TMC spreadsheet non-owners have received invites as of today and updated their record. Wonder what percentage TMC represents in the bigger scheme of things. Congrats all you guys. Always fun to see the excitement in people's posts when they get the invite and configure.
Interesting that looking at the spreadsheet no "non-owners" from Arizona who were in line first day got invites. I have a Mar-May timeframe and was in line at 1:30pm. Thinking that means it's not just based on the really early line waiters or we would see some from all states where you could line up.

I got the email at 2:58 pm and both reservations came thru, 3/31 in line at Buena Park about 175 people back (or at least thats what the guy in front of me counted) I will configure one and wait on the other for either SR or AWD depending on whether AWD gets SAS or not.

Does anybody know how often the invites go out? Is it daily? Twice a week???
I reserved 3/31 at about 12:30 PM at the Palo Alto store... still no invite and not able to configure on their website.

They have sent them out through the day in batches. Not sure if they send out over a few days or not though because not every one has received an email notifying them, a lot just checked their MyTelsa and find out they could configure (we did get an email but after we already saw we were had the invite). So invites went out today, 2/22. Prior to that 2/14, prior to that I'd say 2/4. This is from the spreadsheet, so looks like every two weeks more or less. Production has supposedly picked up from what Elon said during the quarterly earnings report (think 1,000 a week range) and we should expect that to increase once the battery automatic line arrives sometime in March and gets going...hoping to reach 5,000 a week a bit down the road.
Also from what I observed about the non-owner invites being reported on the spreadsheet, they've been in-store reservations from 3/31 with the exception of 1 online res and 1 4/1 res (both of those from a Calif person).

Seems to have run TMC spreadsheet represents 1 out of 10 with configs. Would love to know if someone has better data as well.
Tail end owner --2/14 invite--our last updated window was March - May and had we gone with First Production would have had it delivered in March if not sooner as we are also Calif so just a drive up to Fremont for us. Prior to that it was Dec - Feb. so based on that and the updated one, I think they are pretty good on the delivery window from what I've seen. You can also look for this info on the spreadsheet.
While there were a ton of 3/31 reservations, a good amount of those were owners who have been taken care of as Tesla promised one way or another (1st prod or deferred). The spreadsheet is great (thanks again guys for setting it up) since it breaks out owners from non-owners.

5th in line 3/31/16 placed deposit on two cars, Mission Viejo (I think they opened at 8am if I remember correctly) I'm able to configure BOTH of my reservations as of today.
Also in KC. Man oh man, I’m regretting not being in line now lol. I ordered online 3/31 around 9pm. How many do you think the line had?
Ugh! Haha
FYI...A line waiter non owner that reserved at Scottsdale said he got the invite on another thread. So AZ wasn’t skipped over.
