Just spoke to someone at the Nevada office and she said my Build date changed from Feb 23rd to March 4th :(. She said I should get a VIN around March 8th and delivery March 14th - 20th. She said it's very likely that I'll get it this quarter, but worst case scenario it would be end of Q2.

She said the reason a lot of peoples delivery dates vanished is because they changed their algorithm. She guessed it was to not get people's hopes up!

End of Q2 or beginning?

Beginning of Q2 if the vehicle is already built, otherwise the end. She told me not to worry because it's very unlikely that I won't receive it in Q1. I don't believe her and am preparing for the worst, which isn't her fault as she's just fed information that constantly changes.

How did you get in contact with this person? Did they reach to you via text/phone? I tried reaching out to my SA and he had zero info, I don't blame him haha

That’s rough. Maybe they can locate a car on a lot somewhere? I was on the fence about ordering new back in January or taking the car off the lot, I’m glad I took the car when I had the chance. I have zero patience.

I put in a trade-in request on Tesla's website and was lucky enough to get a callback from a really knowledgeable person who knew everything lol.

Well dang thats kinda frustrating. I put in a darn order back in the middle of December and I'm part of the blank crew. I know there are folks that have put their order in even FURTHER back than myself that are probably part of blank crew too. This is the kinda stuff that puts such a bad taste in my mouth that makes me want to cancel my order all together, no other trim options...fug, rant over.

I reached out to my SA earlier today and he told me I should expect delivery near the end of March--I placed my order on 2/14. Taking that with a huge grain of salt as I know these things constantly change but thought I'd share.

Take this statement for what it is worth from my SA "We haven't started seeing vins from the factory yet, but should be soon, in March. You are all set to receive a vehicle before end of March.". WE SHALL SEE!!!!

My status now shows: "12 - 16 weeks from order placed date" which for my Nov 25 order would come out to Feb 17 - Mar 17.

I know Elon was fired from Tesla but since he fired the entire customer service department before getting fired himself I didn't know who else to contact regarding my late order.
This was his response. I'm not sure if he's he's offering me his old Chrysler or what.

I ordered 2/4 and mine says "Estimated Delivery: 5 - 8 weeks from order placed date"

Model 3 Performance, Red/White

I really hope to get it by the end of March, as I am currently borrowing a friend's extra 2.0T Accord, which is off lease early April. On 1/31, my 09 Mazdaspeed 3 threw a rod through the block, so I either had a big repair or an excuse for a new car. Elon, please don't let me down! ;)

I think I am prepared to get a mildly used fully loaded M3LR if my order doesn't get delivered. I have lost my patience.

Just hang in there we will be getting them in March, my mind wandered to that as well. You're really not going to save any money buying from Tesla for older tech and a battery you don't know the history of.

I just got a txt from my SA (I think):

Hello Chris, we currently expecting the delivery around the second week of March. We will be reaching out to you as soon as possible once we have a vehicle available and assigned to your order. Thank you.
I ordered 1/28 Blue/White in Indiana. Still showing 6 - 9 weeks and no VIN though.
