Tesla not following reservation order numbers

[cofree]

the order confirmation emails did not follow a consistent pattern of timing post-pre-order submission. Some got them quickly after completing pre-order, others got them up to a couple of days after completing pre-order.

but in any event, the numbering appears tied to when the ore-order was completed, not when the email confirmation was received.

We pre-ordered within an hour of the reveal, but it took 2 days to receive the email... RN in the 1129 range (around 180k in line). No invite yet.
Perhaps there are multiple possible reasons for the email delay, and some impact your RN while others don't?

yes, I don’t think anything with RNs is a well oiled and egalitarian-focused regime.

To wit, my number is also in the 1129 range, but I didn’t place my order until the morning after the event.


Reality is, as much as an individual may be hyper-focused on the exact order and “fairness” of the RN allocation, and Tesla’s following of that order in configuration/delivery, Tesla could justifiably have a much more corporate-level view.

Specifically, a corporate-level view along the lines of:

“hey, if you pre-ordered early-ish, you’ll get a configuration early-ish … after all, it’s just a truck. any customer focused on week-long or month-long or even quarter-long differences in delivery is being too ‘extra.’ You’ll still be buying when we get to it, and meanwhile we’ll still be selling everything we can build. Get a grip.”


Can’t really blame them.

Does your Tesla account have an address in either CA or TX?

He did say he lives in San Diego….California. ?

Feeling the pain but I discovered that I didn't have an address in my profile (which I've had since 2013) which I just corrected.

Six Teslas later with res # 112744 the struggle is real.

We will see if there is any credence to the address thing. Good luck everyone.

Cheers

I have a pre order from day 1, 2019 for the tri motor; then I ordered the other two tiers on delivery event day. Now I’m worried they will skip over my original order number because they see it won’t take a lot of convincing to get me to buy. Should I cancel my newer orders and just keep the one from 2019?

My God! I hope my proximity to Giga Texas doesn’t pull my 2.34MM RN into Foundation take it or leave it territory. I’m not thrilled that it may be 8 years before my turn comes, but I want the bugs worked out and wouldn’t hurt my feelings at all for the price to come down out of the stratosphere. Just making payments on a trimotor now would mean I’d have to go back to work.

So I ordered my CT literally when they announced the site to order it. That would have been on 11/19/2019 (?). I have my email that confirmed by reservation, and it was dated 11/21. Im RN112750...Didnt get an invite. At the time I ordered the CT, I had a M3...in 2020, I purchased a Model Y and in 2022, I purchased a Model S. So they had my California address for years. But when I looked at my proile via the Tesla website, my address wasnt there. SO I added it. I find it hard to believe that they would us the address on the website as opposed to the app for previous owners. That doesn't seem logical. I thought CA and TX were first but there was a preference for previous owners. Of course, I dont know shit.....but just my thoughts

People suspected that Tesla skipped over them because their addresses were missing in their Tesla account.

Thank you so much @awhehackeur for posting this! I am super bummed because my reservation number is RN1127442xx but I didn’t have my California address in their system. I do now!
Does anyone know if I am out of luck and way at the back of the line or will the ordering system pick me up on the next batch?

So what if I have both a California and a Utah address, but want to register the truck in Utah? Should I still use the California address to get the truck sooner? Getting sick of jumping through hoops…

There is still hope for you as Tesla just started opening up more invite today. Keep refreshing and checking your Tesla account online.

I don't think it matters anymore since there are more members of this forum outside of CA/TX states were able to order their FS CT.

Agreed...I just wish they would have been more transparent on how the selection was going to be made and that it was based on the address on the website ( assuming that was the case )

On the other hand, this guy already configured one truck 19 days ago, then today just got a second configuration for a pre-order he didn't make until after the delivery event...

Note his RN number for this second truck he has available to configure

Looks like Tesla is trying to sell 10s if not 100s of thousands of Foundation Series CTs.
So Tesla gets to sell CTs for an increased price, and people can pay to get closer to the front of the line it appears.
