Order estimate pushed back

[nando2323]

Or it's evidence that they opened up configuration to way more people than they could handle (over estimating their ability to ramp quickly), and they're finally acknowledging it.

This is what I am going with.

Yep. Just got the email. Configured 4/19. I guess we just keep waiting....

 

[parkds_nyc]

Just got the same email except I configured on April 3rd, as part of the 3/22 invite wave. Not sure what “the last wave of invitations” has to do with me.

I just got the same email. My jaw is still on the floor. I sold my car and I start a job where I have to commute in June. I work from home at the moment. This is going to be a really expensive delay. Why did they invite us? Did they not realize 400k people wanted the car? Or is this the line they are using to keep the rebate till the end of the year?

You sold your car without even having a delivery date confirmed?

 

[parkds_nyc]

Just received the same email. It states my order will be ready in June.

Invited and Ordered on 4/6. Pearl White, 19 Sport, EAP.

Glad to see I am not the only person coming up on 7 weeks since configuration without a VIN

Possible for sure, but unlikely:

• Recent Ramp is going well, I daresay better than reasonably expected
• AWD and P ordering opened
• The timing is right for this to be a tax credit maneuver

yeah, I had faith they would hit the window. When I test drove the model s a week before getting my invite the guy riding with me said people were getting their 3s in two weeks. I know it was dumb in hindsight, but even the rep who contacted me after my order said 3-6 weeks.

Ours was pushed out to July too. Guess we will not have it for vacation.

Well I'm keeping my hopes up for the "under promise over deliver"

 

[mhan00]

Got the same email. Gonna see if I can switch to AWD.

Probably not since the production trackers, leaked emails, and visual evidence from the photos members have been taking of their lot filling up and with a ton of car carriers cycling through would all seem to confirm that production is ramping up fairly well right now.

Completely tax credit related. They just want to warn everyone so that they're not calling in for updates and getting everyone's expectations in check

Pushed to July and will miss the PA state rebate. It seems of the WA orders will also miss their tax incentives as well.

And don’t forget the Canada deliveries. Why would they start up a new country if the ramp weren’t sufficient to supply the US?

I just received the note as well. Invited on April 13th, ordered on the 14th. No VIN yet.

"In our last round of invitations to Model 3 reservation holders, we received an unusually high volume of orders. As a result, we now expect your car to be ready in July. In the meantime, we recommend signing into your Tesla account to complete your delivery profile."

My delivery profile has been 100% complete for quite a while.

But, as others have said, I appreciate the communication.

 

[AZRI11]

Just received an email from Tesla stating that my car won’t be ready until July now. I configured on 4/27 and was expecting a vin by month end. That seems to be the going trend and now they are saying July. Anyone else get this disheartening email?

Rhode Islander also. My e-mail says June delivery. 3/31/16 9:30 pm online.

 

[BTaylor32185]

I also got the delay email. I configured on 4/18 and my email now says that I won't take delivery until July. I'm not sure why other people who also ordered on 4/18 got a delay email with June as their delivery month. This sounds like an effort to push the 200,000th US delivery until Q3 to maximize the tax credit. I am pretty bummed about the delay.

I was exactly 7 weeks before I got my VIN. As of now it'll be 10 weeks until delivery for me.

Same email, config'd a day or two after you. I ordered silver 19". Wish I had gotten June! But at least now I know it will be longer. I am thankful for the warning instead of being anxious the entire month of June thinking "maybe". I think June/July depended on color/wheel and when you config'd. It kinda looks like they switch wheels about every week or two based on the photo thread. I was really hoping for June.. ah well! I saw some posts calling July which I thought was crazy, whoever that was, was right!

Invitation on 4/18, configured on 4/19. Also received email stating car will be ready in JUNE.
