Mine was also adjusted. It's now where I expected, after taking Troy's estimator sheet and then adjusting that date for using VIN based estimates. I figured First Production near end of July, they are saying May-Jul window.
P.S. Note that AWD is now estimated to be available for me before SR.

Non-owner originally first production Jan-March, then Feb-April, now May-July. 2019 for a standard battery! This is beyond frustrating, I’m realistically looking at losing the full tax credit now. I wasn’t really insterested in the standard battery but it’s kind of convenient they didn’t even mention it’s slated for late 2018/2019 now. I’m sure we won’t be seeing a white interior anytime soon.

They alluded to it obliquely in the call, talking about refocusing to higher margin orders.
P.S. Good chance you'll still get the full rebate if you take delivery by Sept 30. Best estimates are putting the 200K breakpoint to start the clock in April, which is Q2.

I was "Early '18" and got pushed back to "Late '18". I find this absurd. It will be 2 and half years since I put down the deposit. This was supposed to be "an easier car to manufacture" because of all the reasons they gave over the past two years. This *sugar* should have been figured out by now.
I'm one of the biggest longs and positive people about this company, but this is getting ****ing old.
Ordered morning of April 1st, originally Feb - Apr, then Mar - May, now Jun - Aug for first production delivery. Have to turn in a car on lease next month and had planned to be a single-car family for a few months, thinking June was worst case scenario. Now it seems like September would be our worst case in this new window...complicates things for sure.
I’ll add mine to the thread:
Non owner in the PNW.
Reserved 11/30/2016
First estimate was Feb-April (I believe)
2nd estimate was Mar-May
And now I’m July-Sep for First Production, Early 2019 for Standard Battery, and late 2018 for Dual Motors.
I’m not in much of a hurry. I hope Tesla works out some of the build issues they’ve had with early productions before I take possession.

Ditto Oregon signed up one hour after opening. Last time the move was only 1 month, now 3! #$%^&*()
It's going to hurt more seeing them on the road.

Non- owner. East coast 4/1/16 online reservation. 1st estimate was Jan-March. Then pushed to Feb-April, now 1st production (LR/PUP) is May-July. Standard is early 2019 and AWD LR or SR is late 2018. Oh well. More time to save I guess. By the way, Troy’s estimator was spot on when it indicated June 2018 delivery.

I've only been here a week but have been pretty impressed with the work he's done gathering and formulating analysis.
If the problem is with the battery packs at the Gigafactory that shouldn't delay interior changes at Fremont, but who knows.

3/31/16 on-line pre-reveal CA non-owner, just pushed back 3 months to Apr-June. SR and AWD now "late 2018." It doen't matter to me. It is a great car and they will have more time to work out the bugs. I'll continue to wait patiently. I'm a glass half full kind of guy.
Yes but you need a battery in the car and imagine that's a pretty early assembly so doubt they would manufacture the car without the battery. Compounding the problem where would you store all of these then.

Wow. Line waiter non-owner in Seattle
1st production : Mar-May '18
SD : Late 2018 !
Means, won't get tax credit if waiting for SD. Elon is making sure only people who buy expensive cars get federal credit.

First day, pre-reveal non-owner here. My Jan-Mar '18 was just updated to Apr-Jun. I'm not surprised at all, or bummed - I've been saying June '18 for about 18 months... I still wish I had it now though.
