M3P red with black interior ordered 1/28 - picking up 3/11 in NJ I think it has to do with location and/or white interior
via LR Waiting room.
I swear that they are pushing orders for the east coast because look at the delivery time. VIN to delivery its 2 weeks. So assuming us west coast folks, we should have something but the last two weeks of quarter.
There was an article a few months ago from one of the EV publications that discussed extensively Tesla's production capacity for all models. They specifically noted that the 3 and the Y are built on the same line. The current capacity was said to be 400K units annually as of now, but increasing to 500K by the end of 2020.
They start out from the same paint booth and stamping, but they get separated for General assembly. The first y that are already built might have came from the same lines, but the new ones won’t be.

I'm ok with that then- selecting the best perfoming of the batches!
I've thought about it and it makes perfect sense that they would build in batches- it would require enormous resources to build one white/white SR then a black/black M3P then a black/white LR, etc. It seems they would wait until thye have x orders of the same unit then build, then the next x orders of the same unit come up and so on. Regardless, I'm ready!
Some of you may have seen my previous post where I had a VIN assigned, a delivery date set, only to be called by my rep three days later who apologized as the car assigned to me was not mine. So it was back to square 1. However, what I did notice was that just before the VIN showed up, I was finding multiple instances of "5Y" data on the source code page - not just 1. I just checked and there are 5 locations that reflect something about 5Y, but not a VIN. Let's see if this means that something is happening and it will show up soon. Always looking for the silver lining.....

Websites often use Base64 encoding on images which basically sends the images to your browser as a long seemingly random string of upper and lower case letters, numbers, and other characters. Occasionally an encoded image will randomly have '5Y' or '5YJ' in that sequence.
If you're using Chrome, rather than doing View Source Code you can hit F12 to go into developer mode, go to the Elements tab on that, then ctrl-f for find then enter either 5Y or 5YJ (or whatever else you want to search for) and you'll see more explicit information on where all the 5Y or 5YJ values are showing up.

- 2.22.2020 - Placed order from Orlando, FL, USA (with a reported 3-5 Week wait)
- 2.24.2020 - Received a text stating 3-6 weeks wait
- 3.06.2020 - Found a VIN in the Source Code
How many of you are obsessive like me and check several times a day? Is there any pattern to VIN assignment? Morning or evening? It sure would be nice to know that checking once a day will suffice. I'm sure you're probably thinking I should only check every night - not gonna happen! ;D I am happy to see PD3's starting to move. I have new owner orientation tomorrow morning. I'll report back if I hear anything.

Order placed on 02/07 … never received any texts despite my number being in the profile.
Honestly, yes ... was checking too many times per day. Was also checking inventory and they had plenty on the long range but never any performances.
