Now, this is *only* the currently-prevailing evidence - but that’s as good as it gets from Tesla at the moment

FURTHER
UPDATE DEC 21st:

Yesterday, it appears at least some/several of the people whose invitations ‘disappeared’ early, re-spring- on a Tuesday.

Unclear if all 12/20 ‘off-cycle’ (eg not on a Friday) invites were to people who had on 12/15 received (including received but didn’t see/notice) invites that disappeared shortly after, or if it was only some of those folks plus ‘new’ invites on a Tuesday, etc.

In either event, Tesla keeping people on their toes to put it mildly.

UPDATE AT 2:30PM CST DEC 16:

Appears Foundation series are NOT maxxed out / several members have reported still having idle and accessible invites, and a few completions of orders since the below initial reports of invites being rescinded.

Unclear what is behind invites being rescinded, etc.

What we’re left with seems no clear guidance on what’s going on, but instead only a general warning: while rare, it seems at least possible that one shouldn’t assume their invites will remain idle and open in their accounts for days or week.

Though it does seem they tend to stay open and idle for most?

Sorry for the partially false alarm, I guess, but we did all at once have several (3-5?) members reporting their invites were no longer showing in their accounts. ??‍♂

UPDATE AT 11PM CST DEC 16th:

As of now, it appears that not all outstanding invitations were rescinded.

Since the discussions below, some have reported still having idle invitations in their account, and even completing orders.

What’s more bizarre, is it appears possible that some rescinded invitations were originally issued only Dec 15 tranche and others back on Dec 8 tranche, while invitations that are not rescinded may be all (?) from the Dec 8th tranche?

truly bizarre set of facts as currently known

ORIGINAL POST (MID-DAY DEC 16th)
to clarify, my offer appeared last night, in the second tranche, and disappeared in the morning, so I had to order it immediately to get it :-(
Update for me RN1275 -- I lost my chance to pre-order the founder edition. I finally decided to F it and go for it. And the page was gone. Though I am sad. there's a lot of other factors that, its probably for the best. 100k for the car I was hoping to pay 70k max for (with FSD) is a lot. I can wait, and I didn't want to sell it (for more) anyway. I want to be a holder.

But that doesn't make me feel better lol.
My offer to order Foundation is no longer visible in the app. Maybe they did sell out. Colorado RN11274...
Same for me. I am in CA though. I guess I should have jumped on it the moment I saw it...

First tranche went out Fri 12/8, and second tranche went out Fri 12/15 - and based on reports from today, people with offers from the first tranche or second tranche disappeared ~overnight in connection with the second tranche going out


As ever, all things subject to change and exceptions



EDIT TO ADD: with the above clarifications it appears possible that either we’re seeing an order time clock time out, AND/OR Tesla has reached a Foundarion allotment max and ALL ORDERS, whether or not tranche 1 or 2


If in fact Tesla has maxxed the foundation series, it may mean that soon (next Friday?) we see the first non-Foundation configuration emails?

The good** news: those people still see RNs in their account

this suggests they’re still “in the line” … somewhere

**but who knows what priority they’ll get once normal retail sales begin

hopefully, they’ll be in ~same order of the rest of the line, not pushed back somehow

It appears that people receiving Foundation order invites in one tranche, are only given until the next tranche goes out to place their order

First tranche went out Fri 12/8, and second tranche went out Fri 12/15 - and based on reports from today, people with offers from the first tranche disappeared ~overnight in connection with the second tranche going out

I'm not sure because I got my chance on 12/15 (not sure the time) and its gone today roughly 12 hours later.

greetings fellow software kindred!

That's concerning. Was that less than 24 hours?

oh hell!

well that’s quite … disconcerting and odd

Obviously one might think they “sold out” and f foundation units in that case, maxing out how many Tesla anticipates selling

I *strongly believe* (for now) that max number is in excess of 1,000, or at least whatever number they think they can produce between now and ~end of Q1

Seems we need to gather more data here - I’ll edit Op

Maybe they hit there limit, 1000 or whatever? And that's it, we switch over to regular orders.

Dang that’s wild. I’m on the east coast and was able to place my order first thing this am from getting the invite yesterday… I do wonder what that means!!? I really hope i didn’t spend an extra 30K to get this version to only find out that the regular version will be available for order in the coming weeks..

This was always expected to happen. Can't have something that sounds exclusive, call it limited, and then just sell them forever. I mean you can technically do that, but imagine to anyone who decided to get it purely to show off their 'limited' truck and then find out anyone can just buy that limited truck.
