New to the forums, and looking forward to delivery of my 100D!
Order date: 10/18/17
Confirmation: 10/21/17
Production started: ??
Anticipated delivery: Mid Dec
VIN: 75XXX
Things have been a bit strange for me, wondering if others have heard of anything similar:
- week of 11/30, i received a call from the production team asking if i was interested in bypassing installation of the tow hitch for a $750 credit. I can still keep the tow hitch (standard) option but they would just install it at a later time (i’d bring the car in, wait a few hours for installation). Of course if i forego the (standard option) today, and want it later, i’d pay $1250 to have it added later, giving Tesla a $500 discount essentially on saving them the inventory and getting installations sooner who need it.
- week of 12/4, DS informed me that my car was ahead of schedule and we could schedule a tentative delivery date of 12/16 in Fremont (i’m in the Bay Area). Website never updated and still read: “Your Tesla order has been confirmed and scheduled for production in our factory.”
This seemed a bit odd to me, reading on this forum, i see plenty of folks who’s status updated to reflect production. I called today to speak to my DS, and now he’s saying production has updated my status 2 days ago for completion 12/20. When i asked what has changed, he said “maybe production team needed more time for inspection, and they haven’t moved in a couple days”. He seemed completely in the dark about what it was that was actually causing the delay. This seems extremely strange to me. He then back tracked and said, it also may be due to parts.
So now i’m waiting another 24 hours for him to reach out to the production team and find out what is going on with my car.
