With the key words being "at this point". That will change. But weren't we all originally told "late 2018"?

From the factory or Ontario? I can see a few hundred at least cancelling back east when the $14k rebate was pulled so my guess is from Ontario.
Tesla sues Ontario government, alleging customers denied incentives | CBC News
I am guessing that a large number of the upcoming deliveries will be cars from back east
I doubt they were all model 3's. CEV available funds only dropped around ~$75K from early yesterday until now. If it was 80 VIN then it should have drop $400K for Tesla alone.
Assigning and delivering with final paper is different. When those 80 start delivering, we will see that kind of drop.
When I called the store, they said the funds will be moved from available to reserved on the CEV site once the VIN are assigned. I have not seen the available funds moved over to reserved but they could be delayed on that.
Reserved funds depletion is for vehicle delivered. When it goes from available to reserved, that is when VIN's are assigned. When the car is delivered, it will go from reserved to dispersed.
I wouldn't fully trust what the local store says, assuming that's who you talked to. I find based on personal experience and reading others comments is they are much in the dark like us. Could be wrong here, but I'm not confident that once a VIN is assigned to a BC buyer that they will do the paperwork to reserve it. Seems like an extra process for them considering the volume they have to go through.
I think they have to do the process as the customer would not be willing to pay extra $5K when there are still funds available for them and Tesla would not just take $5K off of the invoice without some sort of reimbursement. CEV also indicates that responsibility must be on the dealer.
I would hope so. But at the time of finalizing everything, they can easily say the funds are exhausted and not put it in the final pricing. End of the day, we agreed to the pricing as ordered excluding taxes, govt fees, etc. according to the order agreement.

Yes, but when the funds were depleted in 2014, Tesla allowed people to back out and not complete and refunded the deposit in full and sold the vehicles as inventory cars. I think back east they gave the deposit back too recently and didn't force people to complete. But whether that happens again this time when the fund is depleted in BC is anyone's guess -- so it's a fair and good warning you are giving people.
Funds Disbursed have been increased from $30M to $32M on Friday, so we can assume big batch of cars were/will be delivered recently?
Yay!
Not really because we don't know where those funds were allocated to. The rebate applies to other EV's, PHEV, hybrids and hydrogen cars. For the full list: https://www.cevforbc.ca/sites/defau...hicles_grid_updated_2018_august_1_updated.pdf
Just reached out to Tesla by phone (not the local store)and was given my VIN (757XX) and while on hold received an email from a local delivery person in Vancouver telling me my car is in transit and should arrive at the store late this week to early next week! Now I just need someone to respond to my numerous requests to change from cash to financing.
Please update us along the way, i will need to do the same when VIN is assigned
