I bought a Model S a month ago and had two model 3s reserved day they went live to public. Should I get a bump in my production date, and if so, who do I contact?

HA!Absolutely. You should have already received a 'Confirmation' In the mail. I received mine already. It was a Lithograph and said
"Thank you for your Purchase....I've moved you up to #1.....All the best...Elon"!

Ha! Mine said you move up to #-1... which was awesome until I learned it was stored as an unsigned int.HA!
Mine said "I've moved you up to #0" !!!

I hope that was an 16bits integer and not an 64bitHa! Mine said you move up to #-1... which was awesome until I learned it was stored as an unsigned int.
HA!
Mine said "I've moved you up to #0" !!!
It used to say that was the case on the Tesla blog but they removed that line of text.
Since they can't know your options until after you configure I'm thinking that reservation date, prior ownership, and region will affect when you get asked to configure and then options will affect when you get delivery.It's been made clear that owning a Tesla will move you up in line...
and that ordering a highly-optioned Model 3 will move you up in line...
and that living on the west coast (I'm hoping that Phoenix counts) will move you up in line...
Well, at least by being a non-owner, living in a non-EV friendly state, and trying to purchase a lesser optioned 3, I should get offered to configure on the 31st of next February!
The part they removed was the second part of the sentence you posted... it read: ",meaning that the fastest way to own a Model 3 is to own a Model S or Model X."It's still there: "In order to be as fair as possible, there will be a different queue for each region. And as a thank you to our current owners, existing customers will get priority in each region."

What's not entirely clear is how all of these "move you up in line" items are going to work when they conflict with each other. Will a non-owner in LA have priority over an owner in Springfield? Will a Base owner have priority over a top-spec non-owner?
I have my own speculation about how it'll work. Half of the people on this forum have their own speculation. All of us are probably wrong, and we won't know for sure until Tesla starts delivering cars. As Buddy said, as long as "My Tesla" shows your Model S and your Model 3 orders, then Tesla knows everything they need to slot you appropriately.
My guess here is that the pre-existing owner will have the shortest wait between reservation opening of the DesignSenter, and the future owner will have the shortest wait between finalizing the order and delivery. The rest is a lot of unknown about where and when did they reserve, how fast will they batch out the opening of the DesignSenter, how long the production lines is when they finalize and how much weigth Tesla put on the different configuration options.The real test will be if a pre-existing owner orders a base model and a future owner orders a fully spec'd version then who gets priority?
Oh my gosh, I hate to tell you this but you must have missed typed or something, there is a glaring problem in what you said ..... they wont know you're getting a lesser optioned car until after you've been asked to configure ... sheesh
I wasn't commenting on the negativity, it was supposed to be a funny by concentrating on the smaller detail of them not what your options are while overlooking the blatantly obvious Feb 31st. part of it. My only defense is that it sounded funny in my mind, of course a lot of things sound funnier there .... like the voices ....Sorry about the negativity, I guess I need to stay off of priority bump threads before they drive me crazy! Have a great day. Mark
