I'm not sure if selecting an option on that screen does anything more than provide Tesla with some erroneous data.

Same here, I thought I had saved preference for 1st Prod last night, but definitely it's defaulting to SR everytime I refresh the page. A little SW bug I guess.
I would agree with that. I think they're still hoping to hit the third month of the window, but I don't see the point of giving me a window that starts in November. If there was the slightest chance of getting my car in November, they would have already contacted me about it.

So your window originally started in November and you have not yet been invited to configure? Mine was Feb-Apr and I was hoping to be invited to configure by the end of November. I'll keep waiting.
I, for one, am not disappointed. I want it right more than I want it sooner.
Actually, I was facing a tough decision ...... my 2015 Avalon-hybrid is too good to replace. Now, with the potential delivery date slipping, the Avalon will have more miles and I will be able to justify the Tesla more easily.
But this is tough news for Tesla. Today the stock is falling .... Tesla has lost multi-millions.
I'd really like to know the real problem? Battery? Suppliers? Welding? We have heard all mentioned.
I have no intention of cancelling my reservation.

I would like to know also. Whatever happened happened within the walls of Gigafactory 1.
My window originally started in October, it's been delayed to November (gee, really?).

You've been pretty vocal about the obvious delay, the lack of new VIN sightings, Tesla production bottlenecks, etc. It's hard for me to believe you weren't expecting a email about the delay, especially since they had October in the window and it was November 1st.
In my opinion, that's the main reason they updated the windows. And on December 1st, there will be another window update that removes November. Hopefully there will be some deliveries before then..

99% of the comments in this forum kept saying that Tesla is fantastic, superior and any fault is non-Tesla. I did believe them at one point which is why I halted commenting for a while and just waited for the truth. I didn't know if Tesla was storing up Model 3's somewhere in some warehouse as it was being suggested in some threads and I thought.....maybe Elons video's of model 3 production might indeed be correct in that they were producing cars with their robots.
I'm honest when I say that I didn't expect Tesla to come up with delayed dates......I meant it. I just supposed that maybe everyone here might be right.
I also believe that many folks would have sold their stocks and made a short time profit if they knew the delay and such would case the stock to drop to sub 300....which is where it is now.

I tried updating my delivery preferences by shift-clicking to select Long Range, Standard, and Dual-AWD at once, then clicking Save.
Now my delivery estimate says “Sorry, you aren’t getting one.”

Congress has the $7500 tax credit on the chopping block today. Implementation will be interesting and it may very well impact reservation numbers in conjunction with the delays.

It shows mid 2018 for me now. Just gives me a bit more time to save some extra cash for down payment.
Mine went from (LR
ct-dec 17) (SR:jan-feb 18) to (LR:nov 17-jan 18) (SR:'early 18')
Haha, same here. I had LR window Oct-Dec, SR Jan-Feb...I'm going for SR, was expecting it MAYBE next summer. So for me it's just going closer to my expectation. I suspect it'll be a truth trickle of delay after delay...though maybe I'll be wrong...

Do you have information on this specifically, or are you assuming it is part of the so-called tax reform bill?
