Randomly looked at Delivery Estimator and I can configure!!!

[GadgetGeek407]

So I have been checking this once every coupe weeks since it said Feb-April of 18, tonight I was surprised to see I can configure the car and take delivery in 4 weeks!!!! WOWZERS!!!! Beyond excited.

So I am thinking to get the nicer wheels, debating autopilot but I do like it, so I cant seem to make a decision because I have two reservations and taking one now to drive asap and see how I like the car, and taking the other late in the year in hopes of a faster car ie performance mode. Then I would just sell this and keep that.

I would imagine with the long wait I should be able to get most of my money back?

Can you pay full balance of car on CC? any restrictions?

Congrats. Non owner??

No, believe it has to be a check or bank transfer.

So when I reserved I was an owner and recently sold the S like 4 months back, so not sure if the system still counts as owner, I was kinda curious about this and never got an answer, can anyone chime in?

How do you get the invite with a Feb - Apr delivery estimate and I do not and mine still shows Nov - Jan? Very curious!!!

Nov 17 to Jan 18? I would imagine location.

Nov 17 to Jan 18? I would imagine location.

Gotta be location- as some others have said the delivery centers in various places must be getting filled up so they have to spread them around and, also, it looks good for major cities all over the country to get some model 3s.

I am scarred to check and secretly hope that I don't get my invite until after the white interior comes out. I can see myself having a few cocktails and ordering just days before the configuration I want is released.

Same here. I just checked and I can configure now. The question is whether I should wait as I don't really need long range, and may not want Premium Package. I would most likely get the base version. However, I am worry if I will lose the $7,500 federal tax credit until the entry level Model 3 (without upgrades) is ready

PS: I ordered the Model 3 on April 1, 2016 and I bought a Model X 75D in June 2017.

You waited almost 2 years right, what's a couple more months

I have seen posts here suggesting former ownership may be enough to get priority -- or you got lucky. It kind of makes sense you would still get priority as you did buy a car before so your support of Tesla is the same as mine, a current owner.

I did the same. I was able to configure last week. Let’s see when I will get it. I sold my MX-5, so the wife and I are a one car family for the next few weeks. I just hope it doesn’t get delayed.

No invite, but today my account allows me to configure. Did not last night.

My Wife wants to wait, so we wait. Good luck to others who want it now.

Online order Sept 3, 2016, Took Delivery of Model S 75D on May 15, 2017.

same here, no invite but i can configure. Thinking about waiting for the white interior.

From the spreadsheet it appears CA/west coast owners who reserved in 2017 just this Wednesday started getting invites. From what was posted to the spreadsheet looks to be Nov-Jan people although not everyone in this group indicated their window. We have a Dec-Feb timeframe so alerted my husband to keep checking daily now that CA is back in the mix. Problem is I'm not sure if I want to wait for AWD and "the unknown" and if so looking at Aug-Oct.

Based on the estimate I have, having reserved so late, I'd say that Tesla seems to have a good grasp of the actual timeframe.

Just sat in the model 3 in Orange County. Very impressive inside and out. One of the tesla guys said invitations have started to non owners. Has anyone else heard that?

Where in Orange County did you find a Model 3? I checked with the Fashion Island store and they said they would not have a display model until sometime next month.

You should join the Tesla Owners Club of Orange County on Meetup. Several Model 3 owners in the club that may be generous enough to let you sit in, sometimes ride, and perhaps even drive their cars! I believe that I heard at the club meeting that Fashion Island does have one now but with long lines to sit in the car for one minute. The club members are a much better option and they will answer real world questions for you.
