Others have posted in various other places. A batch went out. Don't know how many, but it's more than 1.
Nice.
Daniel is travelling tonight on a plane
I can see the red tail lights heading for Spain
Oh and I can see Daniel waving goodbye
God it looks like Daniel, must be the clouds in my eyes
They say Spain is pretty though I've never been
Well Daniel says it's the best place that he's ever seen
Oh and he should know, he's been there enough
Lord I miss Daniel, oh I miss him so much
Daniel my brother you are older than me
Do you still feel the pain of the scars that won't heal
Your eyes have died but you see more than I
Daniel you're a star in the face of the sky
Edit: whoops no intention of hastening his departure from planet earth after re-reading the lyrics. Hope he enjoys his M3 for as long as possible.

Now need info here or a new thread tracking how many invites received over time. This will provide insight into the ramp. And then the usual individual tracking: e-mail received, configure date, production start date, delivery date, Fremont pickup versus SC pickup, etc.

So have any members here received the email? The person on M3OC has Florida listed as their location, so perhaps there is no geographical advantage? I recall reading that CA/Pacific coast customers would get deliveries first, but I no longer see mention of this anywhere on Tesla's FAQs. Now the only things they list that determine when invites go out are when you placed your order and if you're a current Tesla owner.
Edit: After reading that thread again I see that they set their address to one in CA, not Florida. So I guess until we see evidence of someone that doesn't live on the West coast receiving their invite the CA-priority will probably hold true.

For those that placed the order, do you get to choose where to take delivery when placing the order

Just got invited to configure. Ordered on first day. Model S owner and local to factory
<Multiple email refreshes followed by intense disappointment> ...but I guess it's a step in the right direction.
Awesome. So it appears (appears!) that this was not just one batch early this AM, but either multiple batches or an ongoing process. Hopefully (hopefully!) an indication that they will keep coming in the coming days/weeks rather than just being a single 'we can now say we invited some non-insiders' lump invite).
"When and where" alone don't seem to tell enough. I was at Fremont hours before opening. Current owner. Local. Indicated preference for upgrades. No invitation yet.
I wasn't at the front of the line, and the line was long, and I might have been on the first third of the people who lined up before they opened, but I didn't get the feeling that there were lots of owners. Only one or two other Teslas in the parking lot. Somebody I spoke to who waited in line at Santana Row said that a Tesla employee asked for a show of hands, and 3 people indicated that they were owners.
So I'm curious what time/how far up in line were people who got the invite.

I can smell a SeekingLies article which sees a big negative in this -
'Opening up the configuration for general public so soon when they are still banging and making the cars by hand means only one thing - most employees have cancelled their orders, especially the ones who have lost faith in their company making quality cars'
Elon needs to speed up the Neuralink stuff so I can get a gmail notification inside my brain the moment the delivery email goes out
I assume your original estimated delivery date was Sept-Dec or Oct-Dec? Just trying to benchmark.
Any change you can put the web address that it linked to? Typical order address is: Tesla SSO – Login. Was it that simple? Maybe they are activating the addresses prior to sending out the e-mails.
Thanks!!
Thanks!!

I don't remember. I think it was always in the first batch. Wasn't really paying attention knowing that it was out of my hands and likely to change anyways.

He writes he was nr10 in line and changed his adress from FL to Oakland CA.Fits the profile of a lot of folks on here.
