Inventory models are considered "new" since they have never actually been titled. Even if they have a few thousand miles they are still legally considered new.

SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

Got lucky I guess. Looked up Vin last night and was shocked too see that i had to start over from step 1 and upload DL, and financing info. Called Corporate and said its a random glitch and they said id just have to do it again. Emailed Finance and they said everything was go to go and an hour later vin popped up. Got a text at 730 this morning asking me to schedule pick up. Went from 0-100 real quick.
Glad to know it isn't just me, not in a crappy way but ensuring there isn't some weird bug with my profile. Hope we get it slotted soon! Will be tracking haha. Maybe its just the white/blk aero is why.
Oh nooo. I'm 10/19 MDR and haven't heard anything yet. If they're doing this to you, not a good sign for the rest of us. Wonder what is causing their week+ delay. They didn't give you an explanation? That's rough.

Bay Area order
10/22, SR+, blue/white, Aero, FSD
No VIN
Haven't heard anything else. Based on the last conversation I had with the delivery center, I'm expecting to hear something next week, but we'll see. I had to go to SF tonight and I saw a big truck of M3's coming over the Bay Bridge.
Man this whole process has been an emotional roller coaster. After talking again with the sales center they suggested I keep looking for inventory and if I saw one I wanted pop up, give them a call and they'd match me with it. Otherwise I'd just have to wait until the factory made the model for me and shipped it to NC. They would keep saying "i really hope you get it by the end of the year".....which made me feel really uneasy.
So I check the inventory all day Friday about once an hour. Nothing......Nothing.....Nothing. Was somewhat unproductive at work. But then around 2PM EST when i refreshed the local inventory site, it showed four cars. Some reds and a blue. Interestingly enough, the Nashville TN inventory showed TWO of my exact order on hand. I like the blue as well so after about 50 calls to the sales office, they finally answered and I snatched up the blue.
Local sales office never told me when I'd get the car, estimated delivery, or anything. Just that they matched me with the VIN and they'd be in contact. So I reached out via the online chat and they gave me a call from CA, and they were able to tell me the car would be delivered 12/20 and I could take delivery 12/21. The car is still in transit from the factory and was currently in Alabama. Again, they said someones order must have fallen through on the blue car and I got lucky that I found it and got it.
So now I've got another week of work to get through. I'm back to trying to speed up time!
Also interesting, the sales office and corporate said the local offices have no idea what cars they'll be receiving until a couple days before delivery. And there's basically no "inventory" model 3s coming out. Only custom orders are arriving.
So for all of you guys still waiting, if you're set on taking delivery by the end of the year and somewhat flexible on colors/rims/etc you can keep checking the inventory and perhaps find one that fell through the cracks.
Hopefully everyone here gets their order soon!

I'm looking around at inventory at various cities this morning. I see my car (2020 SR+ white/black/aero/no FSD) in Denver. I was tempted to call, but my wife just told me I can't fly to Denver today. Still waiting... :-(

Got an update from the DC in Mt Kisco. Looks like I am scheduled for tomorrow but am one of the last expected due to distance from them. Based on the info I have, the car needs to be inspected, then registered, then loaded on the hauler. If I got in a car and drive straight there it's 6 hours. I'm expecting if the car does get here tomorrow it won't be till after dark, which sucks for checking it over. Beggers can't be choosers. I will make it a note to tell my delivery coordinator that I need at least a day to go over the car. We shall see
Finally got a text for home delivery!! YAY!
They only gave me 2 days of delivery option- 15th & 16th and chose 15th.
Vin# and delivery date shows on account now.
ordered 10/23
Fremont,CA
White/black 19” no FSD

Now, at this point I had already bought most of the accessories I needed but there was a few I was waiting to pick up at the DC such as the interior carpet mats, the frunk carpet mat and the sunshade! My friend had an issue with the same DC delaying his order a few months back and they gave him a wall charger, so I knew I had room to work with.
Graduation Day! Took delivery and car was perfect. Totally worth the hype!!!
I agree, it can be more concerning. Thankfully I was able to drive down to the Tesla showroom today and take a look at the vehicle. I can happily say the only issue I noticed was a small scuff on one of the wheels, which I have no issue with. (Esp. with the discount I am getting, and I am sure I would have eventually scuffed a wheel, so now I don't have to feel bad about it.) It is an August 2019 build with 174 miles and appears to not have gotten a lot of driving. (They had other inventory models with 400, 500, 600+ miles on them, so I am pretty happy with just 174.) My scheduled delivery is Monday the 16th.

Just had to accept final terms of financing ahead of hopeful delivery tomorrow. Noticed it lists the car as having 50 miles on it. Those who have taken delivery, what was on yours? Not that 50 is a big deal, just wondering how they got there
