Don’t know.

A short note. Don't know how valid the source is, but someone posted on Twitter yesterday that Tesla has nearly 500k orders on the books in total for all 4 models currently for sale. Unfilled orders for the X stand @ 22,000, for the S less than half that @ around 9,000. Take it FWIW.

Well that stinks. It's probably about the money. Is there any way you could swing paying for the car in its entirety now? Do that, and maybe the store will hold it for a couple of weeks on their lot until you can pick it up. Not ideal, I know, but it's one way to do it. You could talk to the...

Hmmm. All I was trying to do was point out some reasons why stuff happens. I do have several years experience dealing with Tesla, this is my 2nd X. IOW, trying to help folks beat the frustration by adding a little info, not talking down at all. I've followed Tesla closely since 2015 because I...

Hmmm. Even having my X I can't seem to stop reading this thread. :rolleyes: Scanning the posts of some still waiting, there appears to be an enduring theme: Tesla is screwing with me. They're lying. They don't want to give me my car. Let's break it down a bit. What is Tesla in business to do...

On another note, I'm not going to get into the politics of it, but Elon's Twitter bid has unleashed the ideologues, trolls and bots once again. Twitter is filled with nasty tweets from suspect sources attempting to destroy Tesla's reputation using Musk's bid to take over the company and some...

SpaceX is privately held and therefore exempt. The small cadre of well heeled owners know and accept the risks. The SEC can say nothing about it because shares are not publicly traded. Koch Industries is another privately held conglomerate.

Which Tesla delivery center. The Tesla store where you accepted delivery.

Everyone driving down the main drag in Napa is a DUI waiting to happen. We toured the wineries once and were definitely candidates for a DUI after two stops. Wouldn't have helped that the back of the car was full of full wine bottles.

A Little Hope for You Guys Freaked Over the Jan 2023 - Apr 2023 EDD Placeholder If you go over to the Tesla website to order a LR X right now, it reads: Est. Delivery: Jan 2023 - Apr 2023. That means a 7-11 month wait... if you're ordering today. For the MX Plaid, the current EDD range is Aug -...

I doubt that's true. More likely supply chain issues. The S/X are both made on the same assembly line in Fremont so ebbs and flows between those two models could affect production somewhat. OTOH, the 3/Y each have dedicated assembly lines @ Fremont, Shanghai and/or Berlin. There is no crossover...

Back in 2017, I was out of town on vacation when Tesla called and wanted me to take delivery of my first X. When I told them I wouldn't be home to accept delivery, Tesla offered to deliver the car in DC where I happened to be. I declined and they were fine with it, took delivery at home a month...

Thanks to daddy's genes, I suffer from sleep apnea. Last July, my CPap machine went kablooie. Three months fooling around with doctors to get an appointment. Then a six month wait for the machine to arrive. Miserable 9 months for me. This is getting to be the norm with a lot of products.

What business practices have you so up in arms? Nah. Actually I go a lot further back than that.

A gas line during th 1973 Oil Embargo. BTW, 86¢ per gallon in 1973 works out to $5.66 today in real dollars.

I just checked. Order a Model Y today and you can expect it to arrive November 22 earliest. You're not going to gain much switching to the Y. And Tesla already has several MY assembly lines running. Reminds me of the Cabbage Patch dolls fiasco a couple of decades back. Stupid looking dolls, at...

If you feel that strongly, perhaps you should write off the $100 and buy an EV from another manufacturer. (Good luck with that). All I know is after 15 months of hoping, complaining and bitching, it did arrive and is sitting in front of my house right now.

Look, I have my X. Ordered 2/5/21, delivered 5/7/22. It was worth the wait. Seeing all the frustration, I almost feel guilty, but not really. ;) When things go wrong, humans typically want someone to blame. IT'S YOUR DAMNED FAULT, PUTZ! Usually, the wrong target is chosen if there is an actual...

Post Delivery Update: 1. I used the Tesla app to report the scuff on the dash I noticed after taking delivery. Tesla mobile is coming out to replace it on 5/30. No hassle whatsoever. They did move the appointment from 5/18 to 5/30. I assume the dash in the correct color was unavailable so they...

I financed around 40% of the cost through my credit union at a 1.99% rate.

There will be a growing truck driver shortage through this decade. That's not it. It takes 2 weeks to get a new vehicle from Fremont to the East. There were no shortages when I took delivery of my first Tesla in 2017; it took 2 weeks to get from there to here in the SE. Physics!

While I didn't count every one, a quick glance at the spreadsheet looks like deliveries for the earlier ones posted are looking pretty filled in now.

No. They typically take cars fresh off the assembly line out to run around the track to see if they're operating properly. Mine arrived with 15 miles on the odometer.

No way I can see without dismantling the console base. Best advice I can give is don't do it. No cards of any kind laid on the console towards the front when it's closed.

Thanks. Nope.

Okay. A couple of shots of my LR X, picked up Saturday. Delivery Experience: 1. Delivery was smooth. I had 2 delivery specialists working with me. They spent all the time we wanted and helped us set up the key cards and so forth. Had some trouble getting one of the fobs to connect, still working...

Really sorry to hear that. 😢

Didn't drive that far on the freeway. Based on that limited sample, it's much quieter than my 2017 90D was. Noticeable improvement.

I got it. Accepted delivery this afternoon, went smooth as silk. Inspection revealed no problems. One FWD was a little funky about closing, we're keeping an eye on it, delivery specialist is also in service and told me to keep him informed. I'm playing with my new toy now, will post photos and...

Always been there on mine.

I waited 15 months and 2 days. I accept delivery Saturday. Take a little heart here, I doubt you'll have to wait that much longer. Deliveries are definitely picking up. And truth be told, Tesla didn't actually get the assembly line up and running until last fall. Even then, it was limited until...

I dunno. I sold my MX in Feb 21 expecting delivery in March 21. I know, I know, yes, I'm crazy gullible. Someone at Tesla told me all I needed was a binder, which I secured and uploaded. Thursday, a kid in the delivery center called and said they did not accept binders. I needed to upload an...

Okay, Delivery Update 3. Some Pointers. 1. When Tesla calls to inform you to schedule a delivery appointment, be sure to ask where the car is now. They can check this on their computer list. I'm in the SE, about as far away from Fremont as you can get this side of the People's Republic of...

Truck coming in from Birmingham with X's on it this coming Thursday. I know because mine is in that shipment. The Kennesaw delivery center said that. They really, really did.

Is Model X Refresh worth the wait? Sandy Munro thinks so. Sandy reviewed the Model S Plaid a couple of months back and it wowed him. His only real complaint was he thought the back seats in the S aren't comfortable enough. In the video linked here, one of Sandy's employees bought an X and brings...

Might be soon. I know I'm getting the car this time because it's encountered delays in shipping. (I expected that). First delivery date was 5/1. They called and asked to shift to May 4th. Sure. One of the kids who actually prep the cars for delivery day called Thursday to ask if they could shift...

Someone asked Elon once when is the best time to order a new model Tesla. He answered that you either want one of the first ones off the assembly line due to the extra attention those are given to check for flaws caused by tweaks needed on the line, or you want one after the line is ramped and...

DELIVERY UPDATE 2 1. Well, I've discovered American trains don't run on time. (Surprise, surprise) o_O:eek: Tesla texted this morning to ask if I would mind moving my delivery from Sunday to Tuesday because the X is "still in transit." That's what you get for shipping cars in coach instead of...

2/5/21.

DELIVERY UPDATE LR MX, Blue, 5 seats, FSD, Ebony Interior Sunday AM: My delivery window went from July back to 4/28-5/4 in the app/on the website Sunday 2 PM: A delivery specialist called from SC in Kennesaw, GA to check my contact info, told me my car was still @ Fremont, that Tesla would send...

Yep, it was.

Thanks. There will be three of us inspecting the X and I even downloaded a checklist app to make sure we don't miss anything.

I've been pinned! I've been pinned! Tesla and I are going steady. Whoops, make that vinned. Came today. The specifics: Vin #: 7SAXCDE56NF34xxxx The Vehicle: 5 seater, metallic blue, FSD, LR Delivery Window (subject to change): 4/29-5/4/2022 Car Status: Made, in California, to ship by rail to...

Sorry guys, this was supposed to be in the MX not the M3 waiting room. We have been waiting 15 months or longer for delivery over there in many cases. I got a little too excited and clicked the wrong forum for my post. Sorry bout dat. Hope you guys get your 3's sooner than we are!

I made it up from whole cloth. Just to show what a little better communication might look like to tamp down the fire.

Email to: All Tesla Model X Reservation Holders Subject: Delivery Delays We acknowledge and empathize with your frustration over waiting up to a year or longer for delivery of your new Refreshed Model X. Many of you have waited far too long. Our sincere apology for the delays; please know we...

You too? Hi ho, hi ho, it's back to July I go... as of today, they changed my delivery date for the ELEVENTH TIME today. Well, one thing is for sure... I'm not belching CO2 or anything else into the air with any car because I haven't had one since Feb 25th 2021. This wasn't how I envisioned...
