SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room
- Thread starter HelixSpiral
- Start date
I ordered almost the exact same model as you (white, white interior) with the sole exception of my wheels being the 18" aero wheels instead of the 19".
I ordered on the exact same day as you and, as of writing this, my delivery window is the exact same (Dec 4 to Dec 31). For whatever that may be worth to your decision
Finally received my pick up date and time this afternoon after my EDD got push back 5 times. They have to manually schedule my appointment in their system, i dont know why 
pick up scheduled For sat 10/22!!!
mobile charger and homelink both already shipped too from lathrop, ca.
rep from Buena Park called to schedule pick up. Offered home delivery but said it would be a 4 hour window so I decided to just go pick up the car.
tried to get insurance again on the app but it’s still crashing. Rep said just to upload insurance on a currently owned vehicle and get the insurance for the new M3 within 10 days (I believe this is just state law). Said I’ll most likely need to call them.

I ordered back in Early/Mid September, and original delivery date was mid November to Late December. However, Last week (first week of October) my delivery date changed to 10/17-10/24 and now I am due to accept delivery on 10/19. Its my second tesla and I have not heard or experienced this kind of sudden change in delivery before. This gets me worrying whether this is a car that somebody was supposed purchase but they cancelled due the car itself? or any possible explanations that come to mind?

While quite the turnaround, this is not unheard of. Many reasons could explain this. Finance could have fell through. Order put on hold. Etc.
Tesla has gained a lot of ground of late on their backlog. Times are far shorter than when my wife and I placed ours. In fact we were assigned a VIN sooner than original EDD.
I wouldn't be too concerned. Just wait until you see the car. Look it over. You may be pleasantly surprised.
Also, you could ask your SA whether they can see if the car was rejected and why.

Nothing is certain when it comes to EDDs.
However, my wife and I got a ten day window a few days after our two week window and then received a VIN the next day.

Wife got her delivery date scheduled! We pick up Tyson next week. 
Based on the updated delivery timing, it seems pretty clear that you jumped ahead in the line. I think most people who ordered in mid to late August (before you) have EDD’s that range from early November to around Mid December.
I don’t see the logic in worrying about the reason for the date change. When you pick up your Tesla, you should examine it to make sure everything’s OK, but that’s true of anyone who picks up any Tesla. It could be the case that someone ahead of you cancelled for financial reasons (ie they want to get the 2023 tax credit), and maybe that person lives near you, and thus Tesla had already scheduled to ship that vehicle near your location.
If possible, please ask your Tesla delivery associates how they decide to choose the next person in line when a cancellation happens. Did they choose you because you live near the car’s prior delivery location? Is there some other reason? Is it random?

Takes at least 10 days to ship cars from Fremont, CA to east coast. First by train, then truck.
At least that's what I have gathered from the various threads here.
