@9edDog. It will be I testing to see when We will get our VIN since we live about 30 miles from each other.

You should get it first but you did change to Blue (makes our cars twins now) on 5/6 so we will see. Are you picking up in Costa Mesa?

Yup, can’t make the 6 weeks so sending out emails, better than them staying silent

I just got the email too. Mine says pushed to July. I was invited on 4/13 but had to wait until 4/19 to configure. July seems so far away. I’m bummed!

While I’m sad for people that have to wait longer, hopefully this is evidence of gaming US deliveries to extend the tax credit a full quarter. Especially since Q4 this year the production rate will be much higher than it was at the beginning of Q2, so far more people will benefit.

Was excited when I saw an email from Tesla in my inbox minutes ago. The long awaited VIN was here!!! ... or so I thought. Instead it was a notification that my car (configured 4/18) will be delivered in June. F**K

At least you have a delivery date! I consider that progress.

It's not really a delivery date its just an updated estimate on when the car will be available - could be June 1st or June 30th or they could punt again and push it to July. When I configured on 4/18 the estimate was 4 to 6 weeks which would have put mid to late may.
Just and FYI, I was invited and I configured on 4/13. It took them 4 weeks to call me. My earliest delivery date was June 9th. I think they are just fixing things like early VIN assignments and waits outside the 3-6 week window. My ISA said she actually had some customers screaming because they didn't have their car yet.
The cars are coming. They are trying to make them better and at a faster rate. We all knew what we were getting into. Be nice to your ISA. Don't forget they have to deal with over 500k of us.

I understand. I was supposed to take delivery May 15th so I feel your pain.

I promise to be extremely nice to my ISA... when I actually get to talk to one.
Anyway, the thing that I found curious about the email is that it says the delay was due to the fact that "In our last round of invitations to Model 3 reservation holders, we received an unusually high volume of orders". I'm skeptical of that explanation that the order rate increased significantly. I would bet that they either overestimated their ability to ramp up the build rate or they accidentally sent out too many invitations to configure.

Maybe they just had a flood of orders from people that decided they didn't want to pay for AWD or Performance. 3500-4000 people changing their mind plus the downtime coming up could trigger a response like that from Tesla.

I configured 4/25, got an email for July delivery too.
(Not entirely unexpected due to the tax credit issue and the fact that for delivery they just have to drive it down the street in Fremont!)

“Screaming”?
As my old COO used to say, “some days if it wasn’t for the people, this would be a great job”.
No one should mistreat your ISA...

I got an email revising my delivery to July. Oh well hope it helps people out with the federal tax credit.
