sorry nick but if you think you'll get the car in nov.. you're dreaming. All nov cars will go to employees still.
We all need to keep these statements in perspective. Right now Tesla is in the midst of what Elon calls “production hell”, making any prediction of delivery dates only the roughest of estimates. They’re estimating delays for some things but earlier for some too. My Florida Model 3 reservation shows a 3 month delay, but my Brazilian reservation shows six months earlier.
My guess is that they’re planning on moving to higher production velocity once the automation problems have been resolved. We already know that the current problem-du-jour has been battery pack assembly. We also know that other problems will happen. That, as we all know, is the way initial highly automated processes tend to work. Once the kinks are unraveled they’re very, very fast and very high quality.
Thus, I will not be dismayed.
I will be patient,
I will be patient,
I will be patient,
(Repeat as many times as needed until I eventually have been invited to configure at least one of my reserved cars)

#40 in line on 3/31, Raleigh NC, non tesla owner. My delivery estimate window was only bumped by a month to December-Feb.
I’m still planning on March, but if it’s eariler than that, great. Highly doubt it’ll be December.

On the plus side, your chances of having working rain sensing wipers and FM radio on your new car just improved!

Anyone else not have a date at all? I can't find anything indicating the delivery range on my tesla account. Ordered 3/31 in store.

Raleigh, also, not sure what number in line (probably somewhere in the 100-200 range) and mine's Dec-Feb as well. If I get it before my birthday in April, I'll be happy.

Should be on right side of your screen in Red "Delivery Estimator" Under "Learn More"

Thats not bad...I am an owner and got pushed back till March-May. This is a total guessing game on there part as we all know. I don't have much faith in the date until they put something out about pumping 5k out a week, then we can get a little excited
Sorry if this is discussed somewhere else, but I didn't know the best way to search. My date is March/May 2018, I'm not an owner, and reserved on 4/4/16. When it comes time to configure, will I only have the option at that time for the premium 49k one if I don't want to wait? I was hoping by that timeframe it could open up the config to be able to possible pick options. Again, sorry if already discussed somewhere else on here. Thanks.

My guess is if the assembly of the battery pack is the bottleneck, then the SR will get delayed longer. Maybe that's why it just says 'Early 2018' instead of an actual time range.
