I was invited on 1/4, so IF I had ordered, I would either have the car or they would be late. Somebody has theirs! Don't read too much into your small sample size data.

Texas Hold Up!

I configured on 1/18, no VIN yet (Owner, San Antonio). I was looking at the sheet last night and noticed that TX was glaringly missing any VINs, so I was wondering if something was amiss. It's good to hear someone was told that it looked good for the 4 week thing, though... that's heartening!
And did I misread the spreadsheet, or are we (TX) the second in terms of volume of reservation holders on that spreadsheet? If we're second in volume and have literally zero VINs, much less deliveries, I'm feeling neglected
But then again, I'm being defeated by Google, so I may have done some filter/sort thing wrong, or maybe there's a selection bias in who fills out the spreadsheet or something...
I would honestly be shocked if anyone saw 5-6 Model 3s anywhere outside CA... there's just not that dense yet! Maybe the same one 5-6 times if they live or work close to 1 of the 10 likely owners in Austin (ask them if all the Model 3s they've seen are the same color )...

Already asked. Allegedly, they were different colors/configs. In the update email that many received tonight, Tesla specifically mentioned deliveries in 20 states. I wonder if that includes Texas. I'm going to call my ISA tomorrow and see if I can get a straight answer about the "Texas issue".I configured on 1/18, no VIN yet (Owner, San Antonio).

Non-employees have only reported deliveries in 21 states in the spreadsheet, so this is inline with Tesla's statement.

That's what I was thinking, but it doesn't jive with the assertion by some that they have taken delivery, or talked to someone who has taken delivery or talked to Tesla service center employees who claims they have delivered multiple of them. Something is not adding up.
With the screaming fans, pitchforks, and torches of the a lot of non-owners reservations being pushed back, I am wondering what impact that may have on overall delays in general.
I was curious and went back to the reservation page even though I configured, and it now says "design now delivery in 3-6 weeks"...not the previous 4 week timeframe.
I have a concern we are going to miss the 4 week timeframe by a wide margin in our case and I sold my S way too early and we are suffering with 1 car as a family.

Really concerned we are in this hodge podge mess of the current reservations being delayed and seeing the time frame extended from 4 weeks to 3-6 weeks makes me think Late March or even April having configured on 1/25.
Trying to stay positive I really am. Hard to tell, I know. lol

Has anyone tried to ask Tesla directly about why deliveries are obviously being avoided in Texas? Or at least try to draw larger attention to it than just this forum?
I know the question has been asked about deliveries in Texas at the centers, but they sound like they are referencing employee deliveries/non-open existing owner invites.
The discussion about no-sale states is plausible.

If anyone thinks it’s because of the California delivery due to Texas laws, please contact the preliminary candidates in your area and ask their view on the Texas auto dealer laws. Now is the time to make a difference. At the general elections it’s too late. (Ok, probably too late now too... but it’s really the only chance).

No one is disputing invites. We’re questioning actual deliveries and wondering why it’s taking so long.
@DeckardsGirl
Thanks for the data point.
Welcome to the forum. First post just for us!
@TexasEV
I am not doubting that there have been deliveries, and no one is posing any conspiracy theory.
Clearly it is a lot slower here than else where. Just wondering what is the hold up.
