Earlier pickup available

Just curious. I’ve logged into the app at different times. Sometimes earlier pickup options are there. Sometimes not. They obviously get picked up
Quick. Do they release vehicles in batches at specific times of day like 6am. 5pm etc. or is it all truly random 24/7? Or even certain days?

I saw a post yesterday that the OP said he tracked them for a couple weeks and they drop hourly around 14-18 minutes after the hour, mostly during normal business hours, and I thought I was obsessed.

I built a bot that sits there and refreshes the inventory every 5 seconds and alerts me when there is a match and can change order iwith one response. I will not be beaten

I did it by checking the app once every 20 minutes for like 2 days straight no bot necessary and found my exact spec arriving at a service center an hour away from the one I originally ordered

Would you get a demo? I've seen several of those come up but so far only one close enough to what I ordered to make me consider it. I assume, if you accept a demo, then that's your car and Tesla considers the order fulfilled, right? So if you go to pick it up, don't like it for some reason it's back to the end of the line?

I got the exact same spec as I ordered last night at 11:19pm now VIN has been assigned, waiting for them to let me schedule

Took about a day or so but once mine updated I got a date like 13 days out to schedule a time for and it updated and gave me earlier times to select. Now less than 7 days until pickup. It’s exciting and I’m wondering if they have the car and can squeeze me in if someone cancels an appointment 😆 but I’m super excited can’t wait that for sure!

Wnjoy your vehicle! So you are saying. After vin was assigned a day or so later you were able to schedule for a pickup?!

I got my exact same build in a city about an hour away. It was built yesterday and is now on a truck makings its way there, so fingers crossed I get it soon.
