Hard to say.... Tesla may be manipulating delivery to offset the US Tax rebate cutoff date.

Most likely so Tesla doesn’t hit 200K US deliveries until July— that means buyers get full federal tax credit for all of 2018. I believe there’s also some danger of Ottawans missing out on tax credit if they don’t get car by end of June.
If that is true then I would assume those of us that were invited to configure would still get the car before July 1st. Of course assuming we pulled the trigger to configure.
I wonder if anymore invites will go out U.S. Non-owners from here until June 30th.
Priority appears to be Canada or WA invitees or Aero wheels at this point.

They could start US invites up again after mid-May, slow roll those deliveries until after 1 July, and still make their advertised 6 week delivery window.
Ah great, this means production has resumed
Shouldn’t have take my $2500 deposit then if I’m not going to make my 6 week window if my config is going elsewhere. And made my config before these new config.

No one said you’re not getting your car within the 6 week window. They can deliver something like 16,000 cars in May & June without going over the 200k limit— and if you’ve already configured, your car will be one of them.
But they’re going to make more than 16,000 cars in May & June, so they need to deliver a lot of them outside the US.
Interesting. Same configuration here, but 18 days earlier. No VIN yet. Trying not to be jealous/irritated...
I know I’m not getting my car in 6 weeks because I’m in my 7th week and still no VIN
This process is all screwed up!
So they shouldn’t have taken my money and if they did they should tell me when I’m going to get my car. They just say wait you’ll eventually get it and you don’t get your money back if you are not happy.
That’s just bad customer service.
They even gave me a VIN but took it away the next day on 4/27 and gave it to someone else. When I asked why they took away my VIN they said we did it to get you a quicker delivery. That’s just a lie not just bad costumer service.
So please don’t tell people they’ll get their car because you have no idea and it appears Tesla does not either.
Cheers to all who are getting their cars including those in Washington and Canada.

I don’t know what’s going on with your car, but it has nothing to do with Canadians getting VINs. I don’t know for sure that s/he will their car within the 6 week window (although the stats show that the overwhelming majority of people do) but I do know that the Canada deliveries have nothing to do with it.
Please don’t project whatever difficulties you’re having onto other people. Thanks!
My post is not blaming anyone but tesla not sure how you concluded that from my post.
Please read the last sentence before you make such statements.
You can see the tracker full of end of March people who configured with no VINs yet but people who configured mid April already got VINs. And that’s just those that are tracked.
Christ stop the apologism. They are sending Canada configurations made last week while some here have waited over 6 weeks since paying $2500 for the same car. It is everything to do with Canada getting VINs.
I'd reach out to tesla if I haven't heard a vin# at 4 week point after config to ensure they're on track for that 6 week estimate. It's not unheard of things falling through cracks and customer having to reach out to help tesla correct things and make the customer happy. @NoTDI
