I'll tell you what!!. I didn't realize how long 22 months was until I put down my $1k. Its only been 3 months from the reveal. Seems like the reveal ( second in line at the Chicago store ) was a year ago.

Yes I would love even a vague one. I reserved online 3/31 7:35pm PST (pre-reveal) and there is confusing info. on the forums that say I could be as far off as in the 100K's, or as close as the 60K's . The Tesla location says they can't help me and there is no way to tell. At 2K cars a week thats a difference of 20 weeks auugh!Well at least you are lucky to own a Model S and maybe you didn't feel as desperate (and determined) as some of us to wait.
I do however agree that Tesla do owe its reservation holders an estimated configuration date - at least a vague one. Maybe they will give an indication during reveal 2.

As much as I like the company, I still can't figure out why people were so gung ho about making reservations for a vehicle so far from production.
In 2012, I think there were no other car manufacturer that offer a BEV. Many affluent customers were wilinng to pay for a premium for novelty and uniqueness. Now we read up in the news media that even Honda, Hyundai/Kia and VW are joining the bandwagon and suggesting 2018 as their target date for BEV's. These are all 200 mile BEV's by the way.
Selling is one part, manufacturing and quality control are total different stories.
I'm not cancelling my reservation but with the smorgasbord of BEVs coming out in 2018/19, I will definitely not have the patience to wait for the M3 to come out in late 2019/early 2020.
Yes, the competitors' BEVs look butt-ugly (thinking Korean and Japanese) but I'd rather take reliability over good looks anytime and maybe 80% of the M3's performance, especially when my household keeps cars until they're too expensive to maintain.
i didn't cancel my reservation but will buy and sell the car to a friend of mine after he decides what options he wants. I can't wait two or three years for a car, just bad timing, and it also came down to the number of service stations and the volume of new cars these service stations will have to handle.
It's pretty much always unwise to rely on stocks for income, especially with it being an election year and with events like Brexit.I may have to cancel if the Tesla/Solarcity merger goes through. I'm down almost 50% in SCTY and was hoping for a short squeeze later this year or next year when they should be cash flow positive and the Riverbend factory comes online. Now I'll end up with less than 70 shares of TSLA whose 2 year price target is nowhere near enough to pay for my ≡. Having that $1k back to dump back into stocks now that both are down might help, but I'd absolutely lose any chance of getting the tax credit. Plus I got laid off, but hoping to land a city job so I can start saving up the old fashioned way. Then again if the merger falls through it could be game on again. Plus the 2nd part of the reveal could motivate me to dig a little deeper for the money. In any case it's way too early to make a rash decision of this magnitude.
