Out of curiosity, has anyone who paid the $1000 to get in line for a Model 3 actually heard back from Tesla? I've never received any communication about timelines at all.

Me neither. Also, I am trying to get my $1000 back for 2 months now since it probably would take around 2 years until I get my Model 3. They are delaying and delaying the payout, so instead of me becoming a Tesla customer I am hating them more from day to day.

  Weird, aren't Tesla selling any more places in that waiting list for the same price? A place better than last would even be worth more, no?

    If what you want is a Tesla 3: yes, probably. If what you want is a(n electric) car: no.

  I got mine back fairly quickly, for what it's worth.

    I canceled my pre order on June 29 and got the money from paypal on August 18.

  The longer they hold it, the less likely you'll ever get it if things go bad.

  Chargeback?

    Way too late for that.

      Then you might never get it back.

Yes. I did get an email. You should be able to login to your Tesla account and 'choose' the Model 3 you want. Based on your choice, they give an estimate on when you'll be able to order the Tesla.

You should be able to log into the site and interact with your reservation. You can see your timeline based on the features you want, and request a refund.

not after the initial few updates. But I guess I never intended to hear back until early next year since I'm so far back in line. I don't know what updates they can give without triggering a +/- ve over reaction in the markets. FWIW, Tesla stock price and the related predictions follow a sinusoidal pattern. When the stock goes high, doomsday predictions pull it low, and when it hits the bottom, all rosy predictions start flooding the news cycle. When Model3 was announced, first deliveries were announced to be end of 2017, and from that POV, Tesla has already over delivered. I think most reactions that Tesla is under performing is based on the stock price, and the respective P/E value.

I literally just got an email, stating that production would take longer than initially estimated. I’m supposed to be able to log in tomorrow to see the new timeline. I bought on the first day of preorders.

Not heard anything, but I live in NZ so I will be last in the queue, realistically it is more likely to be 2019 before I see mine however that suits me fine as I still need to get better infrastructure in place at home to move to an EV. The model 3 Reviews so far are pretty positive, I know they are tesla employees cars so they are going to be quite biased, but others have got their hands on them and also posted positive reviews and it looks like a nice car once the software polished. If something better did come along before I get a delivery date then I will obviously get that instead and ask for a refund, however I have not seen anything I like yet even on the drawing board so I will stick to my Mazda3 until then.
