SR/SR+ (Model 3 RWD) Waiting Room

I finally got a call back from mine the other day and was basically told they're not paying attention to their inbox at the moment because of the amount messages they recieve and any updates with my car will be posted on the website.
I just asked Tesla chat to see if they can change my delivery advisor/other advisor, and unfortunately they can't :(

Side note: Tesla chat said that my original advisor (not sure if he is the SA or not..just the person who reached out to me first after placing my order) would call me back after he gets done with his task. I think I have better chances of hell freezing over lol.

Can anyone tell us what happens when the car is finally ready to be picked up? I have some possible trips coming up in June... there'll be plenty of days in between, but I'm afraid of Tesla telling me that I have a 2 or 3 day window that happens to coincide with one of my trips out of town. Do they give you a hard and fast interval, and do you then forfeit your place in line if you can't pick it up then? Or do you get a few more days to pick the car up when it's convenient?

I am not 100% on this but I think it really depends on how many cars are coming in at a time if they need to get rid of the inventory fast because more cars are coming in. I know in the past they have given you the 3 day time frame and then if you couldn't you would get pushed to the back and have to wait. but I am not 100% on this.

Three days, get your car, or get to the back of the line.
 
Wait what? How much you pay in delivery? I could have saved money?
This is probably a situation very specific to me: Alaskans still pay the $1200 destination fee, but have to pay an additional $2500 for Tesla to ship the car up here. I live in Juneau, and barge shipping through a private company from Seattle costs around $1750. I also have parents in Washington and a ton of airline miles. So, I'm flying down, picking up the car, joyriding around Seattle with my dad for a couple days, then dropping it off at a cargo shipping company before flying back up here. It's a lot of footwork to save a few hundred bucks, but it's a three day weekend and I owe my parents a visit anyway.
 
That is what I am afraid of (and it is also stated on the order agreement..but obviously in other words). I am afraid they will call me on Monday and I have to pick up during the week. I want to pick up on a Saturday if at all possible.
Not sure how much weight to put on this since I didn't take advantage of it, but the local delivery specialist told me that I could just pick a random date, then call later to explain when I could realistically pick up and they'd work with me on it. Sounds like they might have pressure from Tesla central to offload cars quick, but they might cut you a break semi-secretly if you need it?

Update:

My advisor never called me. I suppose he is on a never ending task.

I say this again... my advisors are utterly worthless.
 
My SA doesnt answer their phone, emails, or return voicemails.

Same thing with my delivery advisor.

I am guessing my SA is the one who reached out to me when I placed the order.... but regardless, they are both useless.

My delivery advisor also takes forever to respond to text messages. They still haven't responded to the one I sent on 5/14.
What's crazy is I have not had this experience for the Kansas city location 🤔. My SA sometimes takes a day or two to respond but they do eventually and have answered all my questions
 
The only thing either my sales advisor or delivery advisor ever did was change my registration address when I moved. I called the dealership directly for everything, though I texted my sales advisor first just to add to the string of texts she hasn’t responded to.
 
Submitted CVAP App 3/3
Ordered M3 SR+ on 3/8
Delivery scheduled for 4/25 however CVAP was still pending and ran out of funds. I rejected the vehicle and put delivery on hold until 5/8 in hopes of making it onto the reservation list and because I was traveling and moving.

Since then, It has been showing wait times from 5/16 - 6/17. But I am happy to say I was just assigned a VIN yesterday and I can pick up the vehicle tomorrow 5/28!

Located in SoCal.
