Great insight, thanks. I've used Plaid before and I'm sure it won't be a problem. I don't have a choice for defects because of cancellation shenanigans :rolleyes:. The cancellation email I got says I cannot put on hold or reject a VIN or be automatically canceled.

Has anyone taken delivery without actually being present? I'm hearing mixed things. I heard it's possible with cash-only but not with financing. Then I heard someone actually take delivery with financing option. I can probably call a friend to supervise the delivery or even pick it up. There's...

This is Fremont production and LFP batteries aren’t made by Tesla. Not sure if Giga Shanghai can be to blame here.

Yeah I mean maybe you happy to be in an area where Tesla overproduced a batch of VINS from April and someone rejected delivery and you have an SA who gives no fks and matches a new order at random. It could happen

It’s a lie to get you to place an order. August 2021 orders haven’t been delivered. It’s a 10 month backlog and growing. How could you expect a June 2022 order to be fulfilled in 6 months?

They probably didn't want to bother shipping it somewhere else.

These last few days have had several incidents lol. Tesla Fire: Digital record of Tesla fire incidents Cobalt batteries man. Crazy stuff.

I like the reduced risk of thermal runaway. Too many Tesla's catch on fire. God forbid you have a passenger in the rear when it happens. LFP batteries are stable and have far less risk of burning up.

Meant to ask in the context of delivery holds. As in, did you ever delay delivery? Just curious because it took 11 months for you, and we’re trying to estimate the backlog 😅

Did you do any holds?

OD: 10/01/21 White/Black/Aero/No FSD I've witnessed 2 "quarterly pushes" already. Both times had EDDs narrowed and then pushed out. Been getting 2-week windows during March-May and now it's EDD June 18-July 23. The RWD is the super bestseller. There's a huge backlog of RWD orders. The fact...

It’s only real for LR and P orders so Tesla can report higher profits. RWD orders just get pushed.

West coast reservation holder here. Fremont factory is a 20 min drive away. OD 10/01/21, no holds, no VIN, and I’ve seen Toronto Canadians who ordered months after me get their car first. SA stopped responding to me back in March. Whatever the location bias is, I don’t get to feel that that West...

Is anyone able to identify whether they have matrix headlights?

It’s just about scaling production and cost at this point though. Lucid, polestar and mercedes have amazing EVs but they can’t produce them at the same scale as Tesla’s dedicated factories. In 5 years I feel Tesla’s shitty customer experience will bite them.
