    Model Y LR built in Giga Austin!!

    I'm not sure about the carpeted liners, but my Austin-made LR does not have the Matrix headlights. It was built about six weeks ago. I do have the parcel shelf in the trunk. I also do not have the wood trim on the front doors. It seems like the lights and trim are exclusive to Fremont cars.

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    I used this one: GitHub - polymorphic/tesla-model-y-checklist: Checklist for Tesla Model Y It is extremely thorough, but it only took me 45 minutes. It probably wasn't necessary, especially since, as bluewhite79 mentioned, non-cosmetic issues can be discovered later and still covered under...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    I think there isn't better guidance because they don't want you to pay with check. They really push the wire transfer/ACH method. They don't want to make it easy to use a check. I think the ACH is just easier for them and they get your money sooner. I just didn't feel comfortable giving them my...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Post-Delivery update: I picked up my Austin-built car yesterday and drove it home about 100 miles. Here are my takeaways: The staff at the delivery center were very friendly, but knew almost nothing. For example, I asked if my car came with the mobile connector kit. He said they all do. Sure...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    According to this it is based on manufacture date being before 8/15. After that date, you just get a coupon for all orders placed before April 29, 2022. Unfortunately, I think mine was built one day too late.

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    I received a text from my delivery center about delivery scheduling about 8 hours after getting my VIN. It is up to each delivery center to handle the communication about delivery. The Maplewood one has been very good so far. They have sent me an email, a few texts, and an automated phone call...

    Minnesota waiting room

    Just to follow up on this, I am picking up on Tuesday, so I ended up a couple weeks ahead of Labor Day. I've seen many other MN orders from October getting filled this month. Plus, my dad's order from January is being delivered at the end of the month. I'm not sure how he only has to wait 8...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Here's my calculation: if it does still come with it (like I expected), then Tesla just gave me $200 extra for no reason and I got a free backup mobile connector to keep in the car. If it doesn't then I will actually have something to charge my car with when I pick it up Tuesday (if it ships in...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    If you scroll down in that email, you should see a promotion code. Copy that code and then paste it in when you do checkout in the Tesla store. Put it in the promotional code field. Once I did that, my order balance went to $0 for the mobile connector kit.

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    I'm in the same boat. I will now have three 14-50 adapters because I bought two so I could leave one plugged into my garage and gave another for travel. I got the email from Tesla about the free $200 and I ordered a mobile connector kit today. I'm picking up Tuesday, so I probably won't have it...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    It seems like they batched together all the Minnesota October orders into one shipment, since so many of us got VINs this week.

    Which Twin Cities location are you using? The Maplewood DC has been great about communication. I've been very pleased with their responsiveness to any questions and their proactive communication about deliveries. I'm sorry you didn't get the scheduling text right away.

    July 2022 Model Y Order/Delivery

    Hello July orders! I'm popping in from the Oct 2021 orders thread to let you know what you are in for. I thought I would pass along my list of EDD changes now that I am picking up my MY LR white/black 19" next week. Here is the full list of EDD changes: EDD 8/22 5/22 2/20-3/20 3/4-4/3 4/4-5/5...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    I received a text from my delivery center about 8h after receiving my VIN with a link to click to schedule my delivery time. That link took me to the Tesla site and I had a choice of three dates and several times on each. I'm assuming my car is already built if it is set to arrive in MN this...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    I'm not who you asked, but I'm picking up next week and using a check. I've heard too many stories of people paying in full and some shipping or parts issue means they are stuck paying for a nonexistent car for a few weeks. I will pay them after I have seen my car. Also, pro tip, try to pick...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    I've been VIN'd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It looks like they are clearing out all the October orders right now! Mine is an Austin build and it looks like they just gave me one week notice (EDD now Aug 21-25), so shipping up to Minnesota must be a lot faster than from Fremont.

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Congrats to all the recent VINs! I'm increasingly optimistic that mine will arrive in the next few weeks. I'm only a week out from the start of my two-week window. That alone wouldn't mean much, since I've had several two-week windows in the past, but this is different because other white MY in...

    Minnesota waiting room

    Congrats! I think the midwest orders are going to be delivered in late Aug-early Sept, judging by EDDs I've seen in the Oct 2021 order thread. I'm expecting mine will be right around Labor Day, if I had to guess now. They seem to do batches by options and by regions and they save the west coast...

    Minnesota waiting room

    I'm in a similar boat with four 2-week windows. I just got pushed back two weeks into late August/early Sept this week. The only hope I have is that the Maplewood SC sent me an email last week that they believe I will be picking it up this quarter, which only means sometime in the next 8 weeks...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    I'm sorry if that came off more confident than it should be. I just meant it wasn't addressed to me specifically and had broad language that could apply to anyone receiving a car in that time frame. Here is the first part of the email (the rest is not very interesting):

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    No VIN yet, but my EDD just changed today to my third two-week window of Aug 7 - 21 AND I received my first email from the delivery center. They sent me instructions for scheduling the pickup, what pickup day will be like, some links to the Tesla how-to videos, and specifics about how long I...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Anyone else like me, knowing that it was going to take a long time, seeing everyone else get their EDDs pushed out over and over again, being patient, knowing you would keep getting disappointed, telling yourself that it will come, trying to distract yourself and then hitting a wall and reaching...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Not to ruin your day, but I've had two 2-week windows in the past month, including one that I entered for two days. I'm currently two weeks out from a 4-week window. Unfortunately, the 2-week window is not necessarily a sign of impending VIN.

    OD 10/31 White/Black, 19, 5 seat (cheapest config) Current EDD 7/25 - 8/22 I should note that the order screen where I selected my config predicted an August 2022 delivery date for my configuration, and despite many EDDs much earlier than August, that original estimate is looking to be the most...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    New VINs or deliveries have been suspiciously slow on this thread lately. I only count one new VIN and three delivery dates in the past week. That seems like a slower pace than earlier in June and especially for the end of quarter rush.

    It should be noted that this video was recorded three weeks ago, so things could have changed somewhat in that time.

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    No, it is not debatable. It is a known fact, confirmed by Tesla months ago (and by the experience of many on this forum) that, prior to November 2021, your profile completion date determined when you got in the order books. So, if you ordered in October 2021 but didn't complete your profile...

    Count me among the people getting pushed out. I had two two-week windows this month that I either entered into or got within one week of entering and now I'm pushed out a full month later. My current EDD is about 9 months from order and profile dates. (details in signature, rotate phone on...

    Ioniq 5 vs Model Y

    In case some on this thread aren't aware, there is a Google Sheet that tracks delivery times for hundreds of orders (whoever chooses to enter in their info). It even has rolling average wait times so you can see the average for deliveries in the most recent month or quarter. Most are definitely...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Although our options are very different, our order dates, location (Minnesota pickup) and EDDs are very similar, so maybe ours will be delivered around the same time. My EDD just got pushed out 7 days. I did have your June 18 - July 2 range for the past week until it moved today.

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Today I entered my two-week EDD for the first time with no VIN, so I'm just waiting for the inevitable update of my EDD to sometime in July probably. I know I'm not the first one to enter into that range without a VIN. I believe some here entered an EDD range a few times before they finally got...

    Minnesota waiting room

    I always remind everyone lamenting their distant EDDs that the dates mean almost nothing after the first one and before the last two or three updates. Everything in between is almost random and not to be trusted. Most recent deliveries have been at the 7-9 month mark. Given the huge backlog and...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    As someone that has read through all 198 pages of this thread and has been waiting 6 months for my delivery, can I just offer some humble words of advice to everyone worrying about their EDDs? Think of an EDD like a weather forecast months ahead of time. If I told you I knew with certainty what...

    Minnesota waiting room

    Congratulations! I'm close by, down in La Crosse. I was about to wonder how you got a VIN with an order date of January, but then I see you added FSD. Glad to see adding FSD appears to work for accelerating delivery! I've been waiting since the fall and am close now, so I won't be adding FSD...

    Mine updated today as well to a similar range of May 26-June 23. I'm also an order date of 10/31/21. Based on the Oct 2021 Order Delivery thread, New York and the east coast are getting deliveries in early May and then late May-early June will probably be heavy on midwest deliveries before the...

    Cancelling the resevation

    The "deposit" is actually an "order fee" and is completely non-refundable. On very rare occasions I have heard of people getting the right Tesla employee on the phone and twisting their arm until they get it back, but it is clearly described as non-refundable on the order page and agreement...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    So, the avalanche of people reporting much longer waits and people with September orders that still have EDDs in June/July (as well as the lack of deliveries recorded in the Teslike tracker) make me think that something has significantly changed in April and the 150-199 day window is no longer...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    Deliveries do seem way down. The Teslike tracking sheet shows only 13 recorded deliveries in Q2 so far versus 48 at this same point in Q1 (Jan 20). VINs per week was between 14 and 31 in Q1 and has never been above 8 in any of the three weeks this quarter.

    Mine has been holding steady at May 10 - June 14. If I can offer any hope to those of you that have been pushed to July, August, September etc. it's that the same wild fluctuation in dates that moved you out two or three months can just as easily swing back the other way. We all know the EDDs...

    Minnesota waiting room

    You can see my EDD updates in my signature below. I read elsewhere on TMC that Tesla typically does international orders (Mexico, Canada, etc.) early in the quarter (so April), then east coast, then midwest, then west coast at the end of the quarter. That would put us in the late May-early June...

    Model Y - Gigafactory Texas Production

    This Reddit thread has lots of speculation, including several users claiming to be Tesla employees that received a company email saying they were free to quote the price of $59,990 for the MY AWD. One of them speculated that the order page would go live between now and the earnings call on 4/20.

    Well, it finally happened. After sitting on April 8 - May 10 for a month or so, I got pushed back into May-June. I saw everyone else get pushed back recently and was expecting to get moved, but then it didn't happen so I thought I was in the clear. Now I'm just hoping to stay in early summer and...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    According to folks on the Model Y subreddit, lots of people with orders are getting the same text, so it does seem legit. However, all those owners are on the west coast and apparently, Tesla does this at the end of every quarter for people near Fremont to boost end-of-quarter sales numbers...

    October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

    You are all making me think that my current EDD (see signature) will be pushed back a month or two very soon. I ordered at the very end of October and some of you have early October orders with EDDs into June/July so I can't imagine mine would be delivered earlier than those, especially given my...

    My EDD just changed yesterday to a 10-day window (see EDD history in signature) for the first time. I'm not getting my hopes up yet. I still think it will be May before I actually get delivery, but all my windows before this have been much larger.
