Non Owner - Just Placed my Order

[smak]

I'm able to order and my estimate was March to May. I'm surprised Tesla included me in the first batch, because I didn't reserve until about 11:15AM in San Diego.

11:15 am in Pasadena, also got an invite.

How do you know what time you ordered? Just going off memory?

What are you AWD peepz expecting to pay extra, and what will you get for it?
Traction, is a given.
0-60 for those who actually care? Likely a bit quicker. Maybe not with short range battery.
Are some of you actually hoping for signficant extra range?

If the range figure is greater I suspect it will come from the difference between the 334mi EPA rating and the 310mi claim for the long range battery RWD version. Not somehow magical better economy.

Shhhhh, don't make them think about changing their minds and ordering First Production. Some of us are [im]patiently waiting in line behind them.

I reserved in Palo Alto, CA around 10:20am. Non-owner (cept for powerwall) showing March - May. I still cannot configure on the website. Guess it's definitely not going West to East. That's ok long as it's coming soon . I'm ready for my invite!

 

[BioSehnsucht]

I got my invite today as well. Non owner. Held place in line for AWD

Did you already have the AWD selected in the delivery estimator, but they still offered you the option to configure, or did you have the first production selected and then indicated after being given the option to configure that you wanted to wait for AWD?

#3 in line in Boston and I can configure!!!!!!!

 

[DanH]

Line waiter in Buena Park CA here and I can now configure my car. Unfortunately I can’t afford the car they’re offering me, so I will wait.

I reserved at the same location. ~150th (1/2 way in line). Nothing yet. What was your position in line?

Still debating if I should wait a few more weeks if I'm being called upon. On one hand, I want the car ASAP. At same time, I want Tesla to work out the kinks first.

 

[ItsNotAboutTheMoney]

I wouldn't hold my breath. I'd guess a month (or potentially longer) before they get to early online orders.

And unless one is early production non-owner early online, one would have to remember that one would be behind all deferred owners and line-waiters for any given option, especially if RWD SR. (That's my position. I'm expecting to be far back enough that I'll defer indefinitely.)

No brainer - definitely wait.

So, you're tired of waiting but want the kinks gone first?
They've got you so you don't know what you're doing.

I did online order on 3/31.

Soon I need to order new F5 key from IT, the old one is already starting to show signs of wearing out.

Yah. It's burned into my brain.

Haven't got my invite to configure yet as I am in Canada, but I was happy to see that my estimated delivery date has been moved up from end of 2018 to Mid 2018! Can't wait

I wonder if that is a sign of them being more confident of 2500+ per week? Or just boosting Canada deliveries ahead to avoid hitting US 200k limit too 'soon' ??

 

[cadmuxe]

Yah. It's burned into my brain.

I forgot either, I had some photos on that day, so I can guess it.

Rumor is they are moving up some Canadian deliveries so they don't hit 200k for US until July to get an extra quarter of tax rebates.

 

[icetray]

No idea. It seems like a compromise between the first come first serve, and US first then international. When they initially launched the Model 3 they said it would be North America west to east then it switched to US first, international second so this is a change in tune.

Line waiter in Tyson's VA location. 10:30 reservation.

No invite.

Also a line waiter in Tysons, but ordered at 12:20pm. No invite yet.

I would assume everyone that got their invite today had a Feb-April window for first production? Can anyone confirm otherwise? Asking on behalf of all the March-May'rs out here

I had been bumped to March-May, but I can now configure! Problem is that I was looking for a new house first so I had a garage. Now I'm not sure what to do!

For maximum excitement, perfectly time the purchases so that you take delivery of the Model 3 the day after you close escrow on your new home. And if the order gets switched by accident, at least you have a back seat that nearly folds flat to hold you over.
