Where, Oh Where, Is the Next Batch of Invites?

- Model 3 Ordering Production
This happened last month I believed, but when it came back, nothing had changed for anyone.
Thanks for the thoughts above. It's a valid thought that since the earnings release, those deferring have instead chose to configure...the deferral rate on the tracker spreadsheet has dropped from ~30% to ~29% since the earnings release. Not sure how statistically significant that drop is, nor how much volume it would be expected to absorb...enough to delay another batch of invites going out? Maybe @Troy has an educated guess as to how many people configured in the past week since deferral rate dropped by 1%.
I can tell you that I'm in that exact boat (I'll update the spreadsheet after this). I was waiting for an early 2018 SR w/PUP, but after last week's news I decided to go 1st production so as to be sure i'll get the full tax credit. finally put in my order last Thursday
In looking at the Invites workbook (cell BR56), the estimated number of owners who've received invites to date is only 7,908. So a 1 % point decrease in deferrals has only consumed 79 cars...not a material reason why a new batch of invites has not gone out in now 19+ days and counting. Again, assuming participation in the workbook is representative of the population of course.
Not looking at the workbook, but just comments on the forum, it almost seems like they're trickling invites out right now. Maybe there's a a few more owners that are being invited and maybe there's an increase in placed orders that were previously deferred. I don't think we're going to see any batched for a few weeks.

This is interesting because I still haven’t been assigned a VIN 3 weeks from configuring. I’m set for Palm Springs delivery, but am told that they are backed up and I won’t be assigned a VIN until delivery can be scheduled...
Just got invite. Owner with Aug 2017 reservation—second reeervation.

I got an invite in December but I'm waiting for AWD.
I did get a reminder from Tesla that I could configure my car two days ago so they do seem to be encouraging people to configure.

Just got our invite. California, owner. Had a Dec-Feb 1st production date that got moved to March-May. Looking at the spreadsheet here for Calif owners and date of reservation I was pretty confident if they were doing Calif deliveries in March we'd getting our invite any week now. If we ordered now delivery in 3-6 weeks. Husband sent me a screen capture. Probably going to wait for AWD but will talk about it tonight. Very excited all the same. Hope no one is regretting cancelling their reservation.
Same situation! Except our AWD says mid 2018. My wife wants the AWD as well and we will be talking tonight

I'm in the same boat. I can configure online now, but no email was received. I'm a day one in-store reservation, I bought a private party Model S last December. I think I'm just going to hold off.

I'm guessing you made your reservation sometime before us. We had bought our MS in March, thinking we'd keep our second car for a while after putting money into the AC and tires and then started having issues with it, so unfortunately didn't order until pretty late. After driving our S got spoiled driving it and couldn't see buying anything else for our second car. We have AWD and SAS on our S and think I'd like it to be closer in ride to it, plus our driveway is on an incline so think the SAS will help us at home and around town with all of the annoying speed bumps they have put up everywhere. I was getting nervous for people not having seen any movement in invites and know a lot of people are hoping to get a 1st production sooner than later. Pretty sure we'll hold off, freeing our invite up for them.
Yay, someone thinking of the greater good! And it just happens to coincide with RubberToes greater good too
Still no invite here though, so current owners please keep the greater good in mind...
