Quick Delivery Time

[Spy021]

Day one reservation holder, who finally decided to place an order this past Sunday for a Blue RWD Model 3 with EAP and 18" wheels, which an estimated delivery date of 4 weeks. I know that they have really been working to get the RWD models pushed out, but was quite surprised to get a text a few moments ago that my Model 3 was ready for delivery as early as Thursday!

Unfortunately, I am out of town until the beginning of October so the VIN had to be released and the Inside Delivery Advisor will be ordering another one for me at the beginning of the month. So far, the experience has been pleasant. Hope, things continue going that way throughout the delivery process.

shows how many RWD's sitting across the county waiting for a new owner.. how sad and ridiculous when 15-20K folks waiting for AWD delivery. Hope the VIN is not from March/Apr timeframe. I bet the same car will be waiting for you to come back in early Oct.

So clearly Tesla didn't built for order instead did a mass production per their wish and parts availability. sounds like very poor planning contributing to all kinds of hell.

Did you get a VIN? I'm in Florida too...

I get 4 weeks if I build one now.

I did not get a VIN. The IDA indicated that the VIN would have to be reassigned and that she would request a new vehicle at the beginning of the month. I was also given an estimated delivery date of 4 weeks when I ordered. My local service center is in Brandon, FL.

My "loyalty advisor" kept insisting that the cars are built to order. I think that Tesla should show them as inventory vehicles, like S and X.

Seems like their priority these days is RWD > P > AWD. Wonder why it's ordered that way. Maybe because RWD is easier/faster to build and P has the highest margins?

I think it seems this way because they do P/AWD on 1 line, and RWD on the other lines. Also because they have some RWD's stockpiled.
