At the rate Tesla is going, the Model S and X buyers will use up the rest of the full credits before we ever see our cars.

Which sucks because they’ve already taken the same credit at least once. I really wish the credit was one time per person.
What? Are you suggesting majority of S/X buyers today are repeat customers? I doubt it!

I said at least once. Some have in fact bought more than one though.
But the point is that a current owner has already claimed the credit once and will get it again (because they get to jump the line) while the rest of us might never get to
Ok I see. You are saying s/x customers will use up credits with their 3 purchases. Do you seriously have a problem that those of us who spent an average of six figures on a new product and company getting early access? I hope there’s enough to spread around, but we are not line jumpers. We made the line.

There is still hope the credit stays in place in the final version of the bill, if so virtually everyone that ordered in the first day or two will have at least a fraction of it.

Doesn't mean it can't help for the future. It's what got us here...
But back to the topic, I am hoping for a VIN this week.
(Trying not to get snipped again)
First VIN assignments with the next 8 or 9 days would be my guess. I wonder if we’ll get any more config invites sent out this week. While I won’t be getting my Model 3 this year, getting a config invite before 2017 is over would be a nice x-mas present.
LOL, we _did_ vote. Hillary won the popular vote. It was 48% to 46% in favor of Clinton. It wasn't even particularly close.

I don’t care if owners get their Model 3 first but I do wish we got a chance at the tax credit too. Just because you can claim the credit over and over while those of us peasants who had to wait now might not even get the credit either because Congress kills it completely or the delays push us into half credit territory kinda sucks for us.
We get it. You helped make this happen. You made the line. That’s great. But we stepped in that line by the tens of thousands and put money down without seeing the car too (I think Elon said just 8% of reservations were current owners). If not for us the car would still be a long ways off.
More bothered by congress and the delays than anything else. The tax credit really should be a one time thing not something rich people can get over and over. It should also not have a manufacturer limit but a hard deadline for phaseout for everyone.
Lol, one of the criticisms of the tax credit is that it is just a subsidy for rich people to buy Teslas. Now with this new republican tax money grab for the 1%, they will make sure it's true!

Strange, cause @youyouxue's profile says he's in the UK, and he doesn't appear to be an S/X/R owner already. I am suspicious, but keep checking MyTesla each day as well.
He lives in Fremont. Was the first person to post configurator invite on Tesla Reddit on Nov 21st.

Ok, good to know.
His profile says UK. I have learned there is a lot of #fakenews on this site at times and to be wary.

To take advantage of the Federal tax credit does not require someone to buy an expensive Tesla. Plenty of people who bought or leased a Chevy Volt, Bolt, Nissan Leaf, BMW i3, and other PHEVs were also able to take the credit over and over.
Wasn't there at least 50-60 invited people that posted online, which means how many times that were actually invited? 5x? 10x?
It's certainly not a "couple dozen". Couple hundred at the bare minimum.
