It's all been so confusing. I just received the following update from my sales person. So now I'll be on edge the whole week.

I was told just a few moments ago by a dealer in SA, TX that they can order one for me from the factory. I called BS and after 10-minutes, he admitted it's just a spot on the dealer's list. This is the worst industry! I'm not a Tesla fan, but I appreciate how they are attempting to streamline the purchase process.

That's what Tesla wants you to think lol... Get in a fender bender or worse and need parts? Get ready for months of waiting before a body shop can even start. Not to mention the shoddy build quality!
I think every industry, but especially automotive is having a hard time as bits and pieces come from so many sources.

Hopefully they will have some good news for you later in the week. Fingers crossed! Next allocation drops 12/17 in the system, should be visible to GSMs Saturday AM

@dk12 - I put a deposit down the first week of April for a custom order Premium and no word yet. If the lettered groups are right, ‘F’ is for F’me and it’ll be awhile for me. 😜

For those in Canada (East Coast), mine should be at the dealership between jan 3-7. (USB 2.0 /White interior)

What is East Coast for you? Like Quebec/ontario or the Maritime provinces?!



That will be an AMAZING color combo, lucky you with the white interior
