totally agree i’ve been hoping for some type of customization update as compared to older model s this 2021 2022 model year is quite limited

You are very wise to getting the PPF. It is the best thing to do in the long run. Are you getting a full car PPF, or a partial front or full front only? I’m torn between my three options after inquiring of cost.

OK, here it is to everyone who’s been out here forever and everyone new. Thanks to all for getting me to this point. I placed my order on a warm (almost Summers’) afternoon June 17, 2021. Now it is 7 months and 26 days later and my appointment to pick up my Tesla is at 10:00am today! Lists...

I can’t believe it’s finally happening. Made appointment for February 12 (range of dates they gave me 2/12, 2/14,,2/15). 1 week of sleepless nights to follow.

My pickup location is the newest Naperville location. I did my test drives of the Y, X, and 3 between there and Westmont and Naperville is closer to where I live so I plan to pick it up there. I’d rather do it there as I plan to use a fine tooth comb going over it and I’d rather not have someone...

VIN popped up today! NF470, EDD 2/11-2/15. If it holds true, it will have been just short of an 8 month wait. More details to follow, I want to make sure the current information sticks.

where exactly did you go to see this information? I’ve been on the tesla website, app, in management, wallet, etc., and have never seen the above screen? Please let me know

I’ve got the same build as you and ordered similar. I too am waiting to get the wall charger but that backfired so far as it’s gone up in cost since June I did buy the adapter kit 3 months ago so there’s that. I just got bumped again this Morning from 1/31-2/14 to 2/1-2/25 ….patiently waiting…...

In celebrating my 7 month Wait-a-versary, I am going to share the secret of the EDD logic. Take your Order Date, add 3-4 months. Then check back in a month and see it blank. Then check back in another month and see that it’s now 4 months from the Order date. Then add 60 days plus another random...

I certainly hope you’re right. A change for change sake makes no sense unless it has value.

What I keep wondering, but not hearing, is if the refreshed taillights have an amber for a turn signal rather than red. Amber is so much better. I don’t care about any horizontal bar if the amber color has not been implemented. Additionally, the front headlights. The US has NOT yet allowed the...

Agreed. I’ve already had a credit check lapse, had numerous offers for my current car expire, and had other frustrations with never hearing anything but “they’re building your car” when asked about any status update beyond what is online. SA’s come and go, or transfer to other locations too. All...

It’s interesting reading these posts as when i started looking at this group 7 months ago, i saw people waiting for an extremely long time and thought, will that be me? Now it’s coming up on 7 months for me and I AM one of those people waiting for an extremely long time. All I can say is if this...

I am humbled by your true optimism. Yes, I will eventually enjoy the car for all it’s good for, and watching the neighbor crack his garage door this morning to warm up the vehicle before driving it made me laugh. I will be able to do the same thing with the garage door close and for far cheaper...

I have the same exact config as you! Let’s see who win’s the race or should I say who loses the race to their vehicle. I truly hope I am delayed longer now that it’s the worst time of year for driving in my area.

I thought I’d share a special anniversary with y‘all. At 5:00pm today, I’ll be celebrating my 200th day of waiting since placing my order. The simplest cheapest configuration looks to be the one that Tesla is having a hard time delivering. Oh well, it’s 7º outside now and everything is ice’d...

Correct. Until you have 1) A VIN, 2) A Delivery Appointment/Time and 3) FOB/Keycard, you won’t have your car. The people on this list have helped me get through my going on 7 month wait and I thank you all for that but like the nubes out here, and I was there once too, Tesla will continue to...

Very well said. I agree with you 100% and have indicated so. I was a June order that followed the exact same pattern as you. The wait is only hard to take due to the misinformation, and the fabricated stories we’ve all heard from so very many Tesla reps. It seems like they are only there to feed...

Well as usual, anxiety. Today however several of you have calmed my bout with “WannaUnderstandaTeslaCrankyness“ with kind and reassuring words. I thank you for that. Now that I have calmed down, I will gladly leave it to the Tesla Monkey that knows all and realize I am just a peasant who follows...

Thank you for your response. Yes, anxiety has been high for many reasons. In the end I only desire what I will have waited for and paid for. I do not want any special treatment and I don’t want anything promised that wasn’t expected. That, in the end, is my only real point. Inform me “US” of...

Mid June 2021 order here. I too, was getting very excited and anxious when i was told my car was being built in August. Cut to the chase Here. After at least 14 status changes, date ranges from 20 to 31 days, and many comments by various Tesla SA’s and the like, and several times having the...

Soft matches are nothing more than a way to get you to keep your order and wet your appetite. I recall a conversation I had with a Tesla rep at the Westmont Illinois store around July of 2020. He told me plain out that you won’t know anything until you receive your VIN number and at that time...

This is a matter of fact. Thank you for mentioning it. I have spoken to about at least 10 different people in going on 7 months and they want you to think they are ”your contact”, either via a text message or a phone call when in truth, I’ve spoken to people all over the country assuring me that...

I hope you have an SA that has better information than me. I’ve heard the”fairly confident” thing before. I really do believe that all SA’s however have a list of phrases to use to soften the blow of the fact that they really have no idea, it’s just their most recent correspondence gets you to...

Me too 1151. I am at exactly 6 months since completing my order. Plaids are flooding “dealerships” and I couldn’t be any more [insert your favorite expletive here.] i have no doubt pre price increases people are being made a low priority so that Tesla can take said car and sell it for 15,000...

Now I don’t care who you are, or where you are, that is just plain out funny!

4 awg leads, dedicated ground, and a 60 amp breaker yes. The 6-50 only needs 8 awg and a 50 amp breaker so when i wired i beefed up the awg to handle either/or. Good Point however, thanks for reminding me.

yes, the wire connections for the 6-50 and the Tesla wall charger are identical. And you’re right, it charges faster too. :)

I installed a 6-50, while waiting. I really didn’t want to keep using the mobile charger at home and unplugging and taking it with all the time. I figured, being forgetful, I’d always have a way to charge either with me or at home. The 6-50 (which charges as fast as the 14-50, you just don’t...

Well here’s another holiday bonus for all of us in case you haven’t looked in awhile. Due to my June order, I’ve been holding off on buying the wall charger, you know, if I don’t have the car or may not get the car, I didn’t want a $500 depreciating asset hanging on my wall. Well just out of...

Agreed. Plaids are showing up everywhere, 100’s of them, and to make it more of an insult, they all have the FSD tacked on, like you don’t have a choice. I am very disappointed as well as a few other emotions that words can’t express. I have been waiting 6 months very patiently and have only...

I am Chicago area too and have noticed so many shipments to everywhere but. So, you can (I can) read it optimistically saying Chicago, being a major rail hub, will have a bazillion in transport to us now or that we are simply a market that Musk knows is going to be huge consumers and we’ll get...

From what I read, the Senate has a better chance at killing the bill rather than getting the 80k for sedans. I personally have nothing against trucks or SUV’s, it just seems like a really random assignment of cutoffs when you consider most family’s needs. It’s more of a political move to get...

There is no BBB rebate on this vehicle. They capped sedans at 55k. It’s not a big underused Truck or SUV, just a smaller Sedan so it doesn’t qualify.

And that due to all the waiting makes you wonder if the windshield was really cracked or if something else is wrong and they’re just buying time at our expense. I mean how can there be so much wrong with these cars? Is there absolutely no quality control at any point in production?

I am disappointed that they’d rather try to sell one plaid then fill an order for a person waiting longer (most patiently) for their car. The explanation for the past 6 months was told to me, there’s parts shortages, there’s supply chain issues, there’s chip issues. Then, like you said, Plaid...

Agreed. The priority was to flood the lots with a truly overpriced vehicle while our long standing orders were made a lower priority. Not cool at all.

What was your RN, order date, and config?

Initially it was any sedan under 80k. Kinda the reason i didn’t add RED and/or maybe creme interior. I still don’t understand the sedans getting the shaft in the deal. What’s the difference between a car that seats 5 and an suv that seats 5. Doesn’t a family fit and utilize both equally? The car...

Ok, so here’s my weirda$$ way of thinking. The Build Back Better program has 80000 for vans, trucks, and SUV’s. Why didn’t they just make it 80k straight across the board? Secondly, if they DO pass it, and it stays the same, or better yet include sedans in the 80k, then all of us waiting who...

I noticed a new version of the owners manual out there today, 2021.36 and it is two pages longer than the outgoing one. I wonder what was added/modified. Does anyone know?

I was not aware of that, thank you. I perused the Tesmanian site in the mean time and they appear similar. It’d be interesting to see a direct comparison of the two as cost is similar.

I highly recommend WeatherTech. I’ve had them in various vehicles over the years and they are great. Everything they sell is custom fitted to the vehicle and fits like a glove.

I test drove at both Westmont and Naperville. Put order thru Naperville as it’s a little closer to me. At this point though, I am just hoping for a smooth transition whenever it happens. We are all in the same boat, that is, the sinking one with the monkey randomly throwing out life preservers...

Plainfield, IL

June 17 order. MSLR, White, Black, 19”, No FSD. Bumped from Dec 11-31 to January 10-Feb 7. I’ve been bumped so many times I feel like i’m in a 80’s disco movie.

The EDD mystery assignment algorithm has been revealed. Take your current EDD, add 6 weeks. Then using only the first two positions of the year which is in YYYY format, subtract these first two positions. Then from that number and that number only, subtract the numeric representation for...

I was told the Tesla formula for calculating the actual delivery day is as follows: Take the current EDD. Add 6 weeks, then subtract the year you ordered it using only the first two positions of the year, you must use YYYY, and remember, use only the first two digits. Then subtract 22 from that...

These are all very good points and very good reasons to wait. Let me respond this way. Too much of my life has been spent on waiting obsessing about “getting the vin”. I want all the things everyone wants and no, i don’t need them yesterday. It really only comes down to a system that is still in...

I have it on good sources, those being the hamsters on the wheel in my head sending me night tremors about edd’s and elons december plan. I order white and the white plaid 19 or 21’s are still showing to ship Dec 21. There has to be a shite ton of base configuration of the MSLR with white ext...
