Did they make it on time? Drive it over to La Crescenta and pick me up before you cruise Angeles Crest HWY! Congrats!

Haha, Not yet. At 3:30 they said a few minutes. It's 3:41 now

I see it!!

I feel so happy for folks that are starting to receive their trucks. Finally see the light at the end of a very long and dark tunnel.

I'm happy for you ! I'm hoping to pickup at the factory as well. I only live an hour away.

But I sure don't understand why people with preorder dates in 2019 and 2020 get deliveries before some of us who ordered in 2018 ?! I have the same configuration after my guide asked if I would change to BM interior. I'm still waiting for the PBA and it's been 2 weeks since I had the call with my guide. I checked in with him and he said the PBA would be sent when they assign a VIN to me. It makes no sense how they determine who gets delivery. The preorder date seems to mean very little to them.

Time to pick up my son from school

Happy for you! - I'm down the road in Altadena. Hopefully I'll see you driving around

Essentially the exact config and in the exact same boat. Ordered 11/28/18 and my Guide told me today that he’s working hard on finding me a vehicle. Technically I guess they have until the end of April, but it is very frustrating.

Same same...
My guide called the other day wondering why we hadn't signed the PBA yet, to which I said we haven't gotten one. After some digging on their end they learned that the PBA doesn't go out until a VIN is assigned. They said they may have gotten a little ahead of themselves. I get it and at least I know they're as eager to move as I am. They said they still plan to deliver it by end of the month...

I am also wondering if they are starting to give our builds to earlier preorder people that have decided to go with the black mountain interior versus waiting for whatever color they chose that is backordered.

I’m guessing it’s related to the SC status for the area? Just guessing. I think I check the box for preorder date (12/18) and config (LG/BM) yet crickets. On the RS forum there is someone 20 miles down the road from me with the same config that reserved 6 months after me and he’s got a delivery scheduled. ?
It is what it is and I realize this is a first world problem. I’m blessed and life is good!

I have had a Tesla for 5 years and have just charged with the cable plugged into the 240v plug in the garage (25-30 mi/hr). A wall connector or charger is nice but you can survive quite well without one.

44 hours to my delivery ???

 

[Craigins]

It isn't rocket science. The main goal is max # of vehicles delivered by 3/31.

They have trucks built in batches. Certain batches got shipped west. Guides went down the list matching orders to vehicles.

We are now too close to 3/31 to ship across country, so the guides are going down the order list for people in range of factory delivery.

I'm also assuming the list is off your 2/28 config.

Am I missing anything? Anything not clear?

I've been wondering if they aren't sorting by original preorder date, but by the date the vehicle was first configured.

I could see the database being set up so the "order" model is stored in a different location from the original "preorder" model, and when they unlocked the configurator, it created a new row for each vehicle at that time. It's linked to the preorder, but it's likely the system is processing orders based on who played with the configurator first.

In the worst case, it's possible they don't even have the original preorder dates anymore.

This is all rampant speculation, but I feel like something like this is the only way they can have orders with such a wide range of dates.
