    IT'S REAL!!! I'm taking the lowball Tesla trade in offer for convenience sake. I'm super doubtful of things going according to plan after having 11 EDDs 😂😂😂 So, I'm told 5/8 is my day, but I'll believe it when I drive away in <insert name, TBD>. You might want to hold off on selling until...

    During my short test drive, I leaned heavily on voice commands to test things out. It’s probably how I’ll do most things. Access for rear passengers and ability to control the level of regen would be my main two reasons for using the buttons. The interior of the MY is so minimal that it’s hard...

    They’re little hardware buttons you can put anywhere in the cabin. They can be mapped to perform pretty much any function with a single press (turn on cabin lights, windshield wipers, fold mirrors, adjust regen braking strength, etc.). I thought it’d be nice to add some in the back to give...

    YAAAY! Exciting! I'm a bit giddy today. It's so cool to see some motion in the September waiting room. I think I'll buy some S3XY buttons to celebrate... 😂🤣😂

    I just finished my financing about an hour ago and noticed that the loan approval is good for 60 days and the interest rate is good for 30 days. Surely...with a VIN and an EDD that close, the interest rate will stick. Right? I hope. 😅

    Fremont to Richmond looks to be about 38 miles. Maybe they just drive them a portion of the way? I would think you just load the truck, and drive them to the yard. Who knows LOL.

    Makes perfect sense now. On one call I was told "It is en route to Alabama" and on the next I was told "It hasn't left California". Thanks for the detail! In either case, I hope it was fitted with all the parts before it left Fremont! Did you notice your odometer reading on the MVPA? Mine has...

    September 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    We’re all 3 definitely in the same bucket. Our EDDs were the same until I forced mine into being a specific day/time. The accounts of parts holds are concerning. Given the flood of VIN assignments over the last week, we may have transitioned from a production bottleneck to a transportation and...

    My delivery appointment hasn’t changed, but I talked to an SA today and they indicated that the car had not yet left California…

    I visited my DC and when they saw the projected arrival date, they offered me a delivery date for day after (they have a 3 person quality check that takes a day). Maybe if you call DC, they would push your pick up day? Couldn’t hurt to try.

    I brought my wife with today. She was excited to schedule a time. When we got back in the car to leave I told her: "There are stories of VINs being pulled after assignment." She asked if I'd be depressed if that happened and I thought...Nah. It's been over 200 days. They can't hold it forever...

    Just left the DC. SA confirmed build date of April 21. Car is in Fremont and scheduled to arrive at DC on 5/6. We set my delivery date for 1PM on 5/8. I’m STOKED!

    It appears so! And, we have a three - VIN sequence: Ombre - 426 Nick - 427 Bookman - 428 So the burning question: Nick, is your car Blue/black with Gemini wheels, no FSD, no tow?

    It was just last weekend that I’d been updated to 5/28-7/2, so clearly, things can change FAST. Hopefully Tesla can make a huge dent in the September backlog over The next month!

    I just called to schedule a test drive for my wife and the SA asked in passing if I had an order. I told her EDD was pushed today and she said she'd already gotten calls today about it. Her take is that Tesla runs on a clock based on quarters, and today's shifts represent where the company...

    Pushed back today. May 28 - Jul 02. I hit my downpayment savings target back in January. I'm beginning to think I'm gonna be able to buy this puppy with CASH! 🤣😂🤣 At least I didn't get rug pulled after I entered the EDD again. Everyone that knows I'm on the Tesla journey is in disbelief...

    100%. Ford is straight up not accepting any more orders for the Mach E. VM is hamstrung with Ukraine supply of components. EDD for BMW i4 is early 2023. The fact the Tesla is still cranking out units (even if they do have to leave some pieces off, LOL) is pretty amazing. Tesla is the fastest...

    I keep telling myself: "Chill, Ombre. When you ordered in September, the site DID tell you that you should expect delivery in April". But now I'm definitely not getting it in April (2-week shipping and no VIN). So maybe, maybe, MAY. On the plus side, there have been some solid hardware upgrades...

    The i4 M50 is a stunner. But the wait is 6 months…so if you ordered today, you’d probably get it the same time as the Model Y. 😂🤣😂

    Mobile Charger no longer included

    You’re correct: the charger is in the car. The mobile connector (and wall charger) are EVSEs. They do have to have the intelligence to negotiate amperage and communicate with the onboard charger in the car. The difference between the WC and the MC is down to mode of installation and charging...

    Mobile Charger no longer included

    In order to come to this conclusion, Tesla likely asked the question in a different way, like “how many people use the mobile adapter to charge when traveling”. I don’t believe for a moment that 80% of new and existing owners have the Tesla Wall charger installed. It provides negligible...

    I have the same configuration as you and Bookman, order date 2 days earlier. My EDD has been 4/23 - 5/21 since April 4th. I don’t know what to make of Tesla’s algorithm. All the September EDDs pushing out to July and beyond scare the crap outta me.

    September 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    I’m still not sure what they’ll be shipping out of there. The EPA approval for another MY variant is suspicious… And structural battery packs with 4680 cells would be a significant change to the current MYLR config. Fun times. Can’t wait to hear what’s gonna go down. I just need some news on...

    September 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Exactly. It may only be for new orders or for those whose dates have already been adjusted due to ordering FSD. The prioritization may continue behind the scenes (no way to tell), but as of now, FSD confers no benefit in terms of EDD according to the Tesla order site. I certainly would not add...

    September 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Until today (or yesterday), adding FSD in the online configurator adjusted the delivery window. That’s no longer the case; FSD doesn’t move the window earlier anymore. Now, what that means internally at Tesla, who knows. They may still prioritize behind the scenes. It’s just not “In your face”...

    September 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    I didn't see a news article, just the mention here. I called my local delivery/service center and they confirmed that yes, Tesla had indeed changed the policy, allowing for changes in configuration without creating a new order subject to current pricing. I did not pull the trigger, as it is...

    September 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Seriously? I had NO IDEA we could make changes without changing the pricing! I really wanted to change my seats to white, but the price of the car increased by $1k on the day I intended to do it and I was too cheap pull the trigger.

    +1. Same config, EDD is currently 4/23-5/21. If Tesla pulls out an April delivery (which is what was projected when I ordered), I'll be ecstatic. #GoTeamBlue

    Keeping fingers crossed that after EOQ, Tesla will keep pace and continue deliveries to those of us that reside on the outskirts of The Empire. Hopefully, October's deliveries will pick up pace! BTW you have the same configuration as me. It's been cool (and annoying) to see the burgeoning fleet...

    I’d do a double check on your order status with the DC. What’s your config? With a 9/2 order date, you’ve been passed over more than once and there has to be a reason…right? Super frustrating.

    They’re probably all Cali folks. Boosting those delivery numbers. Hopefully, once EOQ is over, the rest of us will start seeing EDDs shift forward again. Of course, I said that last quarter 😂🤣😂

    I am an optimist with FSD. Many people don't think it'll ever be what Tesla says it will, but I'd like to give it my vote of confidence. The thing that holds me back from buying it for $10k is that it follows the car, not the driver. I know Tesla has reasons for this, but I just can't get on...

    Never say never, but I'm in the southeast and was bumped out of a 2-week window (3/11-3/25) on the second day. I hope your situation is different and you get a VIN soon! FYI my DC indicated that shipping from Fremont takes 2 weeks. By that measure, your could still be an EEEOQ. 😁

    September 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Wow. Outta control! My thoughts are around 2 things now: 1. given supply constraints, will Tesla be able to deliver on the backlog for MYLR? 2. Insurance. MYLR is closing on being a $70k car. Wonder what the delta in insurance costs will be. Ouch. Tesla relies on tons of nickel in its NCMA...

    …and Icarus falls. EDD slipped from 3/11-3/25 to 4/23-5/21. Southern US order squashed like a junebug under the boot heel of EOQ. So what do y’all think? The world is super unpredictable right now, but maybe Giga Texas will come online and start to help knock out the 2021 order backlog by...

    September 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Don’t think so. But stories on delayed deliveries are definitely mixed. To me it appears that if you don’t update your trade in info at the required 30 day interval, your account gets marked incomplete. On the 30th day you’ll notice in the app you have a task to complete (update odometer on trade).

    It’s the nickel. Russia is a huge supplier of it, and 90% of the cathode in the NCMA batteries used in the none-standard range Teslas uses it. It’s interesting to think about what that means for battery chemistry going forward.

    Good to hear! I hope Tesla gets that phantom braking issue sorted soon as well. It‘s like a perfect ice cream sundae with a dead fly on top of the cherry. I’m hoping my story will be different (my area is chock full of wonderfully twisty two lane roads), but the reality is changes need to be...
