Priority change after buying a Tesla?

[hish747]

Hi All,
This is my first post here. I placed a reservation for a Model 3 last week before I was a Tesla owner. This week I bought a used model S to tide me over until the AWD 3 is available. Will I now be bumped up in priority since I am now an owner of a Tesla? Will Tesla know that I'm not an owner and will automatically move me up the line?
Thanks,
Hish

If your reservation and Model S appear in the same Tesla account, you should be bumped in priority automatically. I don't know how long it will take, however.

it took about a month for me. But some ppl report they got that expedited by contacting Tesla about it.

Now that the owner queue has been pretty well depleted, it should be pretty fast. A few days before non-owners were invited, I read some owners were getting their model 3 reservations eligible to be ordered in less than 48 hours.

It took me 4 days to be bumped to the top after buying my model S. Bought on Monday, could configure my Model 3 on Thursday.

to clarify, I got my CPO S back in October, before any Model 3 deliveries were happening. I saw my delivery estimates improve about a month later.

Pretty sure the duration is arbitrary. It's whenever someone feels like updating the delivery estimates.

Does this apply if one buys a used Model S through a private sale rather than a CPO directly from Tesla?

About a month for me as well.

Order M3 on 2/16 on my sister’s account. She already owns a MS. I haven’t heard anything yet though, still can’t configure.

What happened with this?

From what has been reported here it seems that you only get owner priority now if you had a reservation placed before they started letting non-employees configure. So, if you had a reservation before that date and become an owner of an S or X, you'll be asked to configure pretty quick. If you placed your reservation after that then, regardless of when you became an owner, you have to wait until reservations before you are processed. At least that's what seems to be being reported.

Weird. Others are reporting conflicting info in other forums.

What if I *order* a new Model X now (but delivery isn't until June)

When does the "owner priority" kick in?
(only after delivery?)

My Model 3 reservation is from 31 March 2016.

Still nothing. We talked to Tesla on Friday. They said it would be another 3 or 4 weeks. Not sure how accurate that will be. I’m getting desperate...turning in my car next week. Will have to rent until I get the M3.
