Congrats! I've seen your posts a lot and it's amazing you waited this long with your history of posts. You must be super excited! I've been patiently waiting for the right time and the MR put me in the buy territory. Eventhough per tesla it isn't guaranteed that I get the full credit but it was only a few days off from that 10/15 date. Sooooo here's the hoping.
I am day one online too and placed order on Friday, EST. I have a used S for a year now too so I hope I get it delivered by end of year!
Good luck and god speed!
PS - I did not OPT for EAP. Does anyone know if I can still add that for$5k when delivery specialist calls me? Or has that ship sailed...
Good luck and god speed!

I'm pretty sure the went with induction on the front motor because of its torque-sleep capability. For that reason, using a PMSRM up front would make it less efficient overall. Yes, PMSRM is more efficient, but not when you don't need to use both motors (highway cruising).

Our stories sound similar. I've been there from the beginning (following since 2009), a previous owner of a 2013 Model S. And I was number 7 in line at our Tesla store on Launch morning of the Model 3, but was waiting on the (affordable) white interior, and then October 15 hit. I put my order in for a Dual Motor on Tuesday the 16th. No EAP.
You can't really add the second motor later, but you can always add EAP any time, both before final delivery, or after purchase. The $1000 penalty (from $5k to $6k) happens only after you take possession. It's just a software switch in your account / config file in your car.

They are going to work like hell to fulfill that duration or else it is going to be a shitstorm of tweets directly to Elon.
fingers crossed, ordered on the Oct 19th. 10 weeks is Dec 28th! Fingers, toes, and other members crossed.

Where do they show this on your account? Mine just says that they are drafting my contract and that they will reach out to me when delivery nears. Before ordering, the site showed "6 - 10 weeks" for the MR; but after placing the order, I don't see any more mention of dates. I ordered a week ago when the MR was first announced and I'm a day-one reservationist.
You are correct but mine is apparently a bit different. When I ordered, mine said 4 -6 weeks, but after ordering, My Tesla account says nothing about delivery date. However, if I go to My Tesla, I still have the "edit design" link (since I haven't been assigned a VIN yet) and there it says 6 - 10 weeks for the 3MR.

Today my ticket got punched!
Verbally placed order with Tesla Sales staff, here in Portland ,on Tuesday October 16th, finished the online submission on the 18th.
Got the email from Tesla mothership at noon today, and my account was updated with a delivery date for next Saturday Nov 3rd. No VIN was posted, but emailed back and they had it. So now it's lock and load time.
Note, this is my second Tesla baby, and each time it's just as exciting!!!!

No, Long Range Dual Motor. LRD.
Apologies if I didn't make that clear... and my post is off topic of the original 3MR posting here.

I think you will find it might be less than 4 weeks. I placed my order Oct 10, and then things moved very quickly. Picking mine up Nov 2nd. I think it could have been sooner but Nov 1 was first available date for dealer.
(Now) + FREE performance upgrade as well (e.g. 20" wheels, red calipers, lowered, spoiler, etc.)
So, my story is similar, but with a little different ending.
I too was a day one reservation holder, along with my son. I, however, was also a MS owner (now going on 5 years, and 132K miles).
I was going to get whatever model 3 was available, as my choice. As an existing owner, I was moved to the near the beginning of the line- well, before the non-owners anyway.
It arrived in January of this year. Immediately, my son informed me that the lease on his I3 had expired, and he was scrambling to find a way to get to work. Well, what does a father do?
Of course, I gave him my car. And I happily did so. Later, in September, his car came (which I accepted). Well, in between the time of both deliveries, the option to order the M3P became available, and I quickly went for it, as well as all the upgrades. The car was (and remains) simply amazing! Well worth the wait.
Now comes the weird part. I was totally happy with it, and driving it was a very exhilarating experience! After about two weeks, I get a call from my local showroom in Springfield, NJ, and am told that there is a problem with my car, so I need to return it.
Now, I have been driving it, and am certain that there is absolutely nothing wrong, so I bring it in, as requested.
I am shown that there is a problem. It was so minor, that I did not even notice it. However, it was all over the car, and every body panel was affected. The issue was small specks of dust had been kicked up during the painting process (called "fisheyes" for anyone who is the auto painting business). They insisted that this car could not be allowed out in street as is, and would give me a MS P85, as a loaner, while they repaint the entire car- all at no charge.
So, sadly, I left it, and drove away in the MSP85. It too, was a blast, as my MS is only a 60, so I got to enjoy the P version, and much better range.
However, even eating too much ice cream gets kind of old, so after two weeks, I inquired "When will my car be done?" I was told "not yet".
Another two weeks goes by, and I am getting a little antsy...
Eventually, they call to tell me to come in. I am not getting a warm fuzzy...
I get asked "What will it take to get you into a new MX?" Well, its not like I had not considered it, as I had indeed purchased an MX last year, but had to back out when the payment was simply more than I could afford. After all, at that time, I still had a payment on my MS.
And not only that, I wanted my M3P back!
All I can relate here is that I was treated extremely well, and was given a very good offer, so I traded in my M3P, and drove home shortly thereafter in a brand new MXP100! With free lifetime Supercharging, as I got in right under the cutoff!
Now, the M3P was very fast, but this thing is a MONSTER!
But just looking at the shear size of it, compared to the M3, and you would think that there is no way it can be that fast. Trust me, it is quicker than the M3P!
Bottom line, I am very happy. And, I even get two tax credits- one for each car! They simply do things the right way. Go TESLA!

I also ordered a mid-range on Oct 19 (Model S owner). I'm not quite positive that the car gets delivered before the end of the year to qualify for the full tax credit; are you?
I ordered the same day with the same specs except my color is midnight silver. I’m also a day one reservation holder, but was quoted 6-10 weeks. I’m in MI, so maybe that’s the difference in delivery timeline.
I am never quite positive about anything in life, but I am confident that Elon will make our 3MR deliveries happen before the end of the year for us day one reservationists, especially for those of us in California
Steve we have met. Remember, you used my house in your movie "My Blue Heaven" about 20 years ago. You really liked my Aussie dog Sage, who you played with between scenes.
