I’m guessing so too. I did order my model 3 on the very first day you could order them though, so I’m not sure how much earlier I could have adopted.
Being in California you should have be able to order your car well before the cutoff. What counted was actually ordering the car, not just reserving it. Tesla did announce the date back then and said you needed to order before July 1 to get the unlimited connectivity. They ran it as an end of quarter push to get more orders in. There was quite a bit of discussion here about it at the time.
Edit: looking at your post history, it appears you waited for the SR car before ordering. Unfortunately the promotion was to get folks off the fence and into the LR cars by a certain date vs waiting on the other configs to become available.
