I just received my invitation this morning (live in Ohio). I am a Model S owner (purchased September 2016) and made my Model 3 reservation on 4/1. I initially planned to trade in the S on the 3, but now I'm not sure. I'm at least going to wait until the AWD version of the 3 comes out before making a final decision. I love the larger size and premium features of the S but the 320-330 mile range of the 3 (in AWD) is enticing as well. Still don't know which way I'll go.
 
There are at least 4 in Austin. There is RiggerJon's white one that is in South Austin, there is a blue one up near Round Rock, a silver one with aero wheels that I saw once on Hwy 71 going into the tax office, and I just saw a midnight silver at Petsmart in Bee Caves on Saturday. After seeing it I think I am going to switch my color choice from Midnight Silver to silver or blue. I just didn't like it that much. Probably because it was dirty but my wife's van is silver and to me it doesn't ever look that dirty so I am probably going to play it safe and go with silver.
RiggerJon is an employee, right? I saw someone on Twitter take delivery last week, but her brother was a res holder in CA and had it shipped here. Nevertheless, it seems possible that at least a couple have made their way here.
 
No delivery have been reported to the spreadsheet. One of the sales assoc. I talked to at the Houston Galleria this afternoon came in from Austin to help with the model 3 showing. He reported a few Model 3 deliveries in Austin but didn't have any specific number.
I wonder if it's the same one I talked to that claimed that they in Austin had a non-owner (non-employee) get a delivery already?

At that point I'd said I was a non-owner but I hadn't mentioned that I had a reservation. I wonder if there is a talking point to try build reservations to get people in the system? Or he's just a scrub that doesn't know what's up? *shrug* Either way I moved on from talking to him shortly after that. Didn't have a lot of confidence in whatever he had to say.

I just found the Midnight Silver so bland in person. Not offensive in any way, just "meh". It was on showroom floor, so not a dirt issue. Probably doesn't help that wife has had Camry in pretty close to that colour for years.

I believe he is family of an employee. I also think the silver and blue ones are employee owned too because of when I saw them. The midnight silver I have no idea. I should have asked the lady who was driving it because she came out right after I got done looking inside but my wife would have probably socked me in the gut because she was fairly attractive.
