They build cars in batches like white/white, blue/white etc.. I ordered late Sept and turned down one in inventory to hold out for the refresh. My SA told me straight out it wouldn't be here till the end of Dec.. They always build out exports first then domestic cars late in the quarter. I'm not a fanboy, this will be my first Tesla. I was going to order a Mach E however there weren't any to test drive and even those have been pushed back along with VW's ID4..
Hey y'all, new here in Charleston, SC. I've been following along and figured I'd add my experience.
I ordered a white on white SR+ on November 16th via the website. Noticed VIN number via the manage order page on December 4th; no text, email, or response from Tesla or SA. I then received a scheduled delivery appointment date of December 24th 5 days later, again via the manage order page. It's been 3 days since then and still nothing from Tesla or SA. I have to say, I find it odd that there has been zero contact beyond the initial emails and texts directly after ordering.

Wanted to give a final update to my pick-up saga.
Interesting tidbits:
- Made new order on 12/9 for a vehicle that was available as "existing inventory" on Tesla.com
- Contacted my SA on what I did, told me incorrect information that vehicle was not made. Spoke to the Delivery Center, they gave correct updated information, told me my vehicle will be in their lot possibly the following day (Thursday).
- Got my MVAP on Thursday, 12/10 with the VIN and all the details for my bank. CVAP grant had to be manually added in there.
- Made delivery date 12/11.
- Paid final amount due on my end on 12/10.
- Got Cashiers Check from my bank on 12/11.
- Went to Tesla Buena Park to pick-it up on 12/11. No issues from what I found. My friend who also owns a M3 2019 came with me. I also got a free miniature M3. My friend was given one as well since he didn't get one at delivery.
- No issues found on the car.
Interesting tidbits:
- It took over 3 hours for my Tesla app to show the car.
- My account page was freaking out, saying I still owed the $5K for the Grant, and then going back to saying not owing anything. I think the SA was having issues finalizing it.
- I only got 1 month of free Premium connectivity. Others on the forum have shown emails saying that they have gotten 1 year for free, on the SR+.
- Apparently, others have posted that there's a 1-year free supercharging available if you take delivery after 12/12...

Canada gets the free connectivity for a year on SR+.. 2021 cars that show in "inventory" aren't as they will be built out last however this may depend on region.
So if you take the delivery after 12/12... on any Model 3 SR+ you get 1 year of supercharging? Do they say that upfront? Or how did you find that out?
Congrats! I ordered Blue/Black too, so hopefully, mine is ready soon as well!
I heard from a couple of folks today.
Called the Delivery Center, they confirmed it would only apply for those today to the 31st.
Texted my SA, he confirmed the same.
I missed it by a day.
Wait no kidding?? I took delivery today too, I need to talk to someone about this!
Yes, Elon sent memo to their staff. It is for North American all Model 3 but except SR and Model Y which delivery from Dec 12 to 31. You can also find more details from Electrek.

Question; I purchased a brand new 2021 SR+ from Tesla's "Existing Inventory" labeled as new, for the same price as a customized one in hopes of saving delivery time. However, I am reading in some forums that their existing inventory is almost always demo cars, showroom cars, or cars that have been rejected for delivery (meaning the would-be owner saw something they didn't like), how true is this? Did I goof by going the Existing Inventory route? I got a VIN right away when I purchased the car btw.
