It's been almost 3 months, and I have not yet received my refund from Tesla. Will they mail a check? OR will they post a credit on the credit-card that was used originally?

Looks like this could become true soon - Tesla hacker indicates Model Y Standard Range+ variant could rollout from Giga Texas first

Was anyone successfully able to transfer a reservation after the registration-info was filled on the reservation (and before taking delivery of the vehicle)? Thanks.

At the store or via the phone?

Couldn't updating the profile settings with a new name work? What if someone legitimately wants to register in the name of their spouse or a family member or a friend?

Does anyone know how much time I have to "accept & proceed with delivery" after this message shows up?

As of this morning, my EDD was Jan/30-Feb/20. Now it shows the below message. Does it mean that delivery is being scheduled over the next few days? " Order Update Acceleration We have made hardware changes to Model 3 Rear-Wheel Drive vehicles to optimize range. Your Model 3 range has increased...

I suspect that Tesla does have a plan to release RWD models sometime in the future. They are forcing all of the early reservation makers to upgrade to the current config/prices - so that they wouldn't need to sell the RWD models at the lower prices.

I am selling my reservation for a 2022 Tesla Model 3 Standard Range Plus RWD (Gray/Midnight Silver Metallic color). With this reservation, you will save about $6k compared to current price+taxes. You will get delivery in late Dec (or Early January). Note that the reservation purchase price is...

I had placed an order for a RWD model in Jan/2021. Got the 'threatening' e-mail from Tesla earlier this month. Spoke to the customer service reps on the phone & at the store, and asked them to escalate. When none of these worked, I ended up updating the config to the current specs :( At this...

Looks like the income caps have been reduced from the initial drafts?

Looks like there are a few others facing the same scenario :(

I was in touch with the SA every 4-6 months or so. I had all the documentation uploaded soon after placing the order. With the pandemic, I didn't urgently need a (second) vehicle - but I was keenly waiting for it to get delivered. :(

I have a M3 order from Sep/2021 that I put on hold last month. I got the same e-mail as OP this week :( PS: If anyone looking to let their MY order get cancelled and open to transferring it - pls let me know.

I have an order active from Jan *2020* for a RWD model. I never got an option to take delivery in this timeframe. And today, I get the same e-mail as the OP :( I wish Tesla gave other options for loyal customers who put down a $2500 deposit and have been waiting all this time.

What website(s) do you use to check inventory? Tesla.com & EV-CPO.com barely has had any MY inventory.

All this said....how does one get to buy a Model Y SR now? :)

Anyone know if Tesla can increase the price of my vehicle....after placing my order and before receiving delivery? Thanks

Would the Tesla Model Y be classified as a Sedan or as a SUV...for the purposes of this credit? Any thoughts?

Not sure how accurate this will turn out to be....SR Model Y to return to Fremont for (likely) Q4 using larger LFP pack https://insideevs.com/news/529264/tesla-modely-sr-return-lfp/

Anyone have recent updates on the availability of the SR model?

Yes...the $250 fee is the order fee (on top of the cost of the vehicle). Just spoke to the SA about it.

When did you find it in inventory?

Elon tweeted on the SR version https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1363946797945679875?s=20

That helps clarify. Thanks. It's interesting that changing colors is cheaper.

Thanks for your response. Since, I want MSM-matte...I am guessing that there are two options....go with a clear wrap on MSM ; OR a MSM-colored wrap on White $5k+ will put me outside my budget :(

I am new to vehicle wraps. I'd appreciate if someone can help with my questions. I am looking to get a MSM (or Black) colored Model Y in matte. Paint-protection, matte-look and a reasonable price is what I'm ideally looking for. Which colored Model Y should I order? White or MSM? White will...

I think the best looking color is Red; second choice is Midnight Silver Metallic. Good to know that MSM holds up well.

Assuming that these checks take an hour plus - when exactly do you perform them? Before or after signing the paperwork? Would you have typically have sufficient time & access to the car to complete these steps before signing the paperwork?

Looks like Tesla has now started offering the option to lease a Model Y (Tesla Model Y now available for $499 per month through new leasing program ). Anyone considering it?

Good to get an update from Elon on the 7-seater P version. Wish he also commented on the RWD version

Looks like the Tesla Model Y is 2.2 inch longer, 2.8 inch wider and 7.2 inch taller as compared to Model 3. you get about 5 inches more second-row legroom in the Y than in the 3. Visibility is somewhat poor in the Tesla Model 3 because its tallish rear seat blocks your view out back. In the...

That's a fair perspective. That said, are the Model-3 and Model-Y truly as different as a, say, Camry and a Highlander?

got it! Thanks. There's effectively a $6k difference between Model-3 and Model-Y when comparing similar versions. The difference between the cheapest available Model-3 and cheapest available Model-Y is now $15k (not accounting for any local tax incentives):(

Are you referring to the interior space or the cargo space?

Thanks for your response. I should have been clearer in my original question - Is the 5-seater Model-Y still worth it over the Model 3? (Since the 7-seater is not yet available).

Thanks for all the responses. For reference, here are a few comparative videos between the two -

The price difference between the Model-3 & Model-Y has increased a bit. Is the Model-Y still worth it over the Model 3?

When did the price of AWD models change?

I'm considering buying a lightly used Model 3 from a private party. What are the gotchas specific to Teslas that i should be aware of (apart from carfax, etc)? Would a Tesla dealership be able to do a buyer's inspection? Additional details - this is a one-year old Model 3 with ~13k miles.

Did order a 7-seater version? If yes, good to hear that you at least got an ack for the order.

Did any of you get an e-mail from Tesla offering a faster delivery for a 5-seat configuration? Tesla asks Model Y buyers to change configuration to get sooner delivery, hinting at high volume - Electrek

Looks like some people are getting an email from Tesla to change configuration to get sooner delivery

Which FAQ are you referring to?

So agree with this. Wish they offer a clean/official way to retrofit.

Thanks for all the responses. Much appreciated. I do go ahead & place an order last week. Keeping my fingers crossed now.

I'm in the market to buy a new EV. Given that there are rumors of Model Y deliveries starting soon - it'd be great to get a Model Y in the initial few weeks after deliveries start. If you made a reservation close to Mar/2019, and aren't interested in taking a delivery anytime soon - I would be...

I am planning to buy a Tuxmat this week. I would highly appreciate if anyone can share a code. Thanks.
