Should I call Tesla? Reserved Dec 2019 and haven't heard a thing since

[PattiPRN]

Thanks everyone. As far as info on me I live in Sacramento CA. I dont own a Tesla. So to be honest I dont know what 30,000 credits mean. I can finance (850 credit) or pay cash. Don’t really care.
yes, agree that communication could be much better. That wouldn’t be too hard because now it’s nil. Appreciate this forum.

Make sure you have your Tesla account, and address entered onto Tesla's website.

I reserved in Nov 2019 and haven't heard anything, just like many others. I don't think Tesla has got around to any December orders yet, unless you are an employee or VIP.

Still have to wait unfortunately...

If you have a friend that buys a Tesla then, if you give them your referral code you can get credits toward things. In this case, I believe that the promotion was 3 referrals would net you 30,000 credits and you could apply them toward moving you up the VIN-assignment list. You had to have a reservation already. Probably the only people that had 30,000 credits were influencers because Tesla often gives very little notice of these promotions and, both before and after, don't give any credits for referrals. So you have to be the kind of person that can draw on a large population in a very short period of time. I am not surprised you haven't heard of them. Anyway, it seems that Tesla pulled that promotion shortly after announcing it.

27Nov Reservation here
(1301)
Expecting to receive the invite sometime around Christmas.
Any sooner, and I’ll be happy; any later, and I’ll still be happy. No rhyme or reason to this process with Tesla, so I’ll just focus my energy on things in my life that I can control…
Like asking people for Tesla credits

Studying “how to be an influencer”

Checking this site twice a day
Performing complex equations with faulty data in order to find my place in the reservation system

Daydreaming about all the adventures I’ll have in my cybertruck

Crying into my pillow every night, after realizing that my invitation isn’t coming anytime soon ;,-(

One of us is mistaken because my reservation acknowledgement email from Tesla is 11/26/2019 at 6:30 am and my RN is 11302. How could yours be on the 27th and be lower than mine? They are close but still different.

Mistaken, or…I’m guessing this may have happened because:

Perhaps, we chose different configurations

Tesla forgot to put your reservation into the “system” for a few days

There is no rhyme or reason to the Tesla reservation system

Since yours is a few thousand lower than mine I suspect that it was a mail delivery thing.

Hi Patricia,

First of all, thank you for your work as an RN. It is frequently a thankless job. Your work is greatly appreciated.

Folks who have commented so far are, unfortunately, correct. Of the sampling of orders that people have submitted to the order tracker on this site, the vast majority of people reserved their trucks in November 2019. Of those, most who have received an invitation to order submitted their reservation fee between 11/21/2019 and 11/24/2019. Obviously there are some exceptions to this, but the vast majority of people who reserved after 11/24/2019 seem to be still waiting for an invite. Only Tesla knows for sure how many people who ordered between 11/21/2019 and 11/24/2019 have not even gotten the chance to order, but the general sentiment on this site is that there are many who are in that category.

The way Tesla conducts business and how they interact with their customers definitely has it's advantages and it's disadvantages. The current waiting game and lack of transparency is certainly a disadvantage for the quite enthusiastic fan base.

At the end of the day, while I'm impatient and wish I had a Cybertruck in my garage, I know that the more time that passes until I have the opportunity to pick one up, the better the truck will be. Bless the current owners who are putting the truck through it's paces and dealing with the growing pains.

Hang in there. There's a lot of great information on this site and a lot of opportunities to live vicariously until you get your invite.
