Are you suuure you didn't stand in line? There are previous owners who stood in-line and didn't get an invite yet. How good is your memory?

Like you ordered 'only' on April 1 but still waiting to be unenqueued (why is it I'm blushing while writing that???)
NJ, at the time of order had a march 2014 S85, upgraded since then to new S + X. So hoping to get invite within next couple of weeks.
What are you basing this on? The weirdest thing I've seen is owners getting invited to configure both Model 3s right away, but I saw an owner here who said they just reserved and had an estimated delivery date of November.
Lots of non-CA owners getting their invites today!! Would be interesting to see the poll of CA owners get updated more...

Just like Tesla fulfills orders for Model S and Model X for Europe in the early part of each quarter so they get delivered near the end of the quarter, I'm betting they are trying to fill the pipeline with cars to East coast, then backfill with West coast cars later in the month so the January numbers are as strong as possible. First week - invites to East coast. Second, Third and Fourth weeks to West Coast. A mid-January order in Oregon may be delivered before an early-January East coast order. The market really wants to see consistent growth in production numbers. Staggering things in this way optimizes deliveries by month.

Except that Tesla does not disclose numbers per month, only per Quarter.
Which may instead mean that there is enough production capacity to start to fill order in other high demand area where they are ready to transport and deliver them in big quantities. They must be close to emptying the line of CA Tesla owners who want the first M3 available.

Got my invitation this morning (9:27am PT) and promptly ordered! Of interest perhaps to others is that my reservation date was 4/1 (not 3/31). I do live in the SF Bay Area and own a Model S. So looks as though they are moving past 3/31 reservations now, at least close to the factory / previous owners. (Not an employee either.) Estimate said 4 weeks.
Interesting! Thanks. What did you go with in choices? I'm about 4-1/2 months behind you timewise in the reservation line so excited to see it moving past 3/31.

I have to admit I am a little concerned about hearing that people who ordered online are getting their invites before people like me who waited in line all night (yes I am a current owner) and ordered in store. I was the first current owner at my store in STL to reserve.
I was under the impression that people who ordered on site (and site unseen) would be getting priority.
Don't get me wrong I am happy people outside of Cali are getting invites, this is a great sign, just not sure that Tesla's process for inviting users to build is working as designed.

Also got an invite for 1 of my 2 Model 3's.
In WA state, ordered 2 in Bellevue at the same time on standing-in-line day. Used 2 different emails. The email that has the Model S on it got an invite, the other didn't.
Obviously this is completely expected, but just confirming it here.

I'm not sure if I'm _the_ first owner in line in the SLC store, but probably in the first 5-10 (~50th in line iirc), and I haven't gotten my invitation yet either. Hopefully they just haven't gotten to our states yet, or it's like the CA invitations where it was seemingly random the actual order of invitations as long as you met first-day, current owner qualifications (remember @K-MTG's constant posts in this thread about 3 weeks ago?!).
This could be the record!!Just got the invite, 3/31 in store from Chicago! Email came in at 1224, done configuring at 1226
