Always hard to tell what Tesla is doing behind the scenes, but I am not personally reading heavily into the significance of the recent radio silence for MYP production. There's such a huge backlog of LR orders and realistically they only have a single factory capable of producing domestically...

@Jbapckfan @Luka816 From the latest news I can find, I agree that there's basically no chance we see 4680's/air suspension this year. If any are delivered I would imagine these would be at the very end of the year. Because of the fanfare and attention on the 4680's and since air suspension...

I agree that Tesla is still the hands down best EV on the market for the foreseeable future. That said, there's a lot of people who don't necessarily need or want the full capabilities of a Tesla and other automakers are closing the gap. Charging infrastructure is a huge advantage that will...

One wonders if the lack of 360 view is a result of Tesla refusing to release features that don't work up to their standard or vision, even if totally functional. Many if not most of the 360 views different cars currently have don't look great (though I don't have a TON of experience with these)...

Ryan Shaw recently posted a video on YouTube discussing some of the expected features to be added to the Model Y in 2022. In addition to the 4680 cells, there are rumors of M3/MY getting air suspension (emphasis on rumors; images in firmware imply they are currently working on it but that's...

I know it's good for more than 30 days because I didn't receive my car until ~40 days after getting approved. I believe the T&C's when I finally completed the process mentioned 60 days.

Ironically, I don't think range will ultimately be much of an issue. 314miles puts it on par with MYLR and ahead of MYP on paper and I believe Kia tends to be more like other automakers by advertising a range that is lower than what you can realistically get. In the universe of cars, the amount...

The EV6 is really intriguing and I honestly see that as a better competitor to MY than even the Mach-E. The only thing that would make the decision hard in my mind is that the GT model wouldn't be available until late 2022. The AWD version that will immediately be available will still be very...

Tesla definitely knows that despite it's own customer service woes, they still hold leverage over basically all direct competition. This is terrible from a consumer POV, but I guess it is what it is. When I was considering options before going with MYP, the decision was made simply due to...

Tesla historically begins production of the next model year in October. It seems likely that this trend will continue, but has not been explicitly confirmed. This would imply that initial October deliveries will be 2022 models, but much to @Tabor's point, Tesla implements updates incrementally...

Update to yesterday's delivery post: Did a slightly more thorough inspection and for the most part, everything is more or less completely fine. I think I have a far less discerning eye than some others, and I'm not inclined to notice/care about very small imperfections. That said, I confirmed...

This past week has been a whirlwind and I wouldn't be surprised if your lackluster experience is a result of employees putting all of their effort into completing local deliveries (I got ~20 combined calls/texts/emails to finalize delivery after crickets for two days following receiving a VIN)...

The shared emotional roller coaster is way too much to forget so quickly lol. I'm excited to see some closure for everyone else! For those who got pushed out of EOQ I hope things come together quickly once the month rolls over.

Oh and for anyone who is curious about the drive feel, best way I'd describe it is that it feels similar to a sporty compact sedan. Maybe goes over bumps a bit smoother (doesn't get the bottoming out sensation), but otherwise quite similar to a Lexus IS. I think it depends on what you're...

Obligatory delivery post! Picked up at Corte Madera and was exceedingly easy. The location doesn't actually have a lot of space so there wasn't a ton of activity. I was on a somewhat tight schedule so I rushed the exterior inspection a bit, but no panel gaps whatsoever. If anything, it looked...

Tesla is certainly urgent for getting these deliveries completed, after I took 3 minutes too long scheduling delivery through the link, they called me and then sent a follow up text offering pickup today. Won't be back until tomorrow night so fortunately I was able to schedule normal pickup on...

Tesla's ears must have been burning, just got the scheduling text

Yeah I'm thinking something like that or that they weren't able to complete units that were missing some spare parts in time for EOQ

Luckily I still have a VIN, but still no delivery text or email. EDD updated to 9/28-9/30. With the disappearing VINs of some SoCal orders and Bay Area VINs that have yet to be scheduled for delivery, I wonder if Tesla is running into any late game hiccups.

💔

Congrats to everyone getting VINs today!

Still haven't gotten any text/call/email for scheduling delivery but honestly that's pretty helpful at the moment

Likewise. After I saw I got one I came to the forum to see who else did and was pretty surprised you hadn't. It's gotta be around the corner, I'm rooting for you!

Yeah I'm really curious if some Bay Area buyers are looking at a possible 2-3 week turnaround for left over inventory

Sending positive VIN vibes your way

Also received a VIN (277XXX) but no text or email yet. EDD jumped to 9/26-9/30. Back in town on the 28th, let's see how this goes... Hopefully we've all (August orders and select September orders) reached the finish line! Dunno how I could've made it through it all without the forum. Fingers...

Kinda hilarious they say "Remember to pick up our call and answer our text" Waiting for my car hasn't consumed nearly all of my emotional and mental attention, I might just forget to text you back.

Interesting. Haven't gotten that one (yet?)

Very true, though my mood would be greatly improved if I had no reason to think I would have gotten a car before the last week of September. Seems like it was only yesterday I had an EDD that started on 9/7...

Seems a bit odd, did you ever have an EDD? I wouldn't be shocked if this is what some people are seeing, right now is very....turbulent lol. Tesla may also be working on projections for Q4 with the new factory in Austin potentially up and running before the end of the year. Another way to look...

What I find interesting about the SA's from reading everyone's posts is that the bit of information that would be the most helpful wouldn't necessarily be the day they expect your car to arrive (although that would be nice if accurate), but at least HOW the operation from factory to delivery...

Fwiw, it looks like as us EOQer's are waiting for VINs June/July MYLR orders are finally getting delivered. I'm sure those waits were brutal and I guess if I have to wait, it's nice to know some deserving people are making it to the finish line.

EDD push +2 like everyone else today

Sounds like everyone in the Bay with a September EDD is anxiously waiting for a VIN. "Best I can do is another +2 bump"

Another EDD push to 9/20-9/30. Was hoping to get a VIN by the one month mark but seems unlikely at this point

Congrats! I'm also east bay, same config but with an OD of 8/19 and anxiously awaiting VIN. I do find it interesting that my most recent EDD was earlier than yours. Now I really feel like Tesla is doing this intentionally LOL. Today marks the 5th time in EDD

Yeah I don't have one but I assume it's because I did everything online and never spoke to a human.

No VIN EDD still 9/18-9/30

Wall chargers can get up to 44 miles per hour charge at peak speeds vs. NEMA at ~30 miles per hour. Practically speaking, I get the impression the tesla charger is beneficial if you have multiple teslas (at a time or will own multiple over time) or have very tight charging windows with long...

No VINs that I've seen today. I get the impression that this next wave coming up are currently models being produced (likely just getting final missing parts but maybe some new factory builds as well), hence the SEPTEMBER texts to plan out whose getting the vehicles in this batch. Those who got...

I figured as much. If they can hold it for an additional 2 business days on top of the limited range of days where delivery would be available, I'm hoping that I don't get a VIN right before or at the beginning of my trip, because I might just be able to swing a delivery on the 29th/30th. Feels...

I'm bracing for the same....out of town 9/22-9/28. If I'm lucky I get a VIN in the next couple days and try to pick it up same day. Otherwise, I'll have to see what sort of concessions they might be willing to make. I'd guess my chances are pretty slim given how many other Bay Area people would...

I noticed the same haha. I haven't checked, but I can't think of anyone else who got a SEPTEMBER text with an earlier EDD range. Maybe we're leading the pack, in front of the end of the line.

Tesla playing with emotions per usual....Congrats! I wonder if someone released their car and it went to you. Not sure if you would care about such things, but recent VINs have been in the 270's if you are curious how old it might be! Regardless, what a nice Friday gift

Another +2 EDD bump to 9/18-9/30 No VIN

Seeing nerdknob's past day of developments has me nervously anticipating tomorrow morning since my EDD start is +1 to theirs...I don't like my chances with this whole September delivery confirmation thing but I guess in true Tesla fashion, when I least expect it will be when that VIN drops.

the 24 hour turnaround to this saga is a thing of beauty.

All we can do is wait haha. Honestly I hope I'm wrong because if I am that leaves the door open for me to get delivery sooner than later and would hopefully allow others in different regions to get their cars by month's end. That said, a new model year as a consolation prize is never a bad...

I would take this with a HUGE grain of salt, because I don't actually have hard verifiable info BUT I'm inclined to think you're going to get an EDD bump into October. My current speculation is that Tesla has flipped to EOQ mode and is essentially now maximizing deliveries to west coast...

Curious if either of you received the confirmation of delivery in September text yesterday.
