2021+ Model S LR Delivery Tracking

[cascadilla]

My EDD jumped from EOQ to mid-Oct, and now back to EOQ again, Sept 26-30. I am really not ready to take the car yet. I hope I can delay it a few weeks...

Call them now and say that. They’ll never pull you forward, but if you ask them to push you back, it might work. They have plenty of folks waiting for a car stat, which actually works in your favor.

I think I know the answer to this based on what I have read from the numerous posts but since this is my first Tesla, I was initially only offered a home delivery option for next week but now the center says I could pick it up at the center this weekend. Based on everything I’ve read from prior posts, I think better to opt for the pick up in person and to give more time to inspect and note defects etc. (hopefully none) with actual real life humans on site versus having to it after the fact via the app (with home delivery).

Also, for those that I’ve done the pick up already, have you been able to inspect the vehicle before giving the cashiers check? I am just going to pay the down payment as the rest is financed through Tesla but certainly would rather not commit all the money upfront if there’s a chance I can see the vehicle before.

btw, this forum is awesome and appreciate all the good info and laughs.

This is just my personal experience, but when I picked my car up I had to go inside the ghost town of an office at Marina Del Rey and speak with the only employee there. Before I could even see the car I had to accept delivery online at the desk. My payment was made via ACH several days earlier so I can’t speak to handing over a cashiers check, but presumably they’d have wanted it before I could accept delivery.

Then the one employee at the desk helped me pair the car to my Tesla app and sent me on my way. Fobs and card keys were in the car in the parking lot (and weren’t paired to the car by the way, had to take it to a service center to get there done).

I suppose I could have asked to inspect the car, but I didn’t. Once I got it, everything was fine (excellent actually other than the fobs and card keys not being activated), so I can’t speak to how any issues were resolved.

Same RN as you but my EDD is Sept 24 to 30, but I think it's fake news, lol.

I was able to spend as much time as I wanted to inspect and note any defects before I officially “accepted “ the car and gave cashier check. Luckily there was nothing major. The SC employees were great and told me to take as much time ad I wanted to go over the super massive checklist. I’m reality, anything I’ve noticed after taking delivery (again, not much) will be addressed in a service appointment.

Similar RN my EDD changed to Sept 26~30th this morning I agree it's fake news loll.

 

[DCland21]

Looks like my EDD jumped back again also. Now October 03 - October 23, which I am still not quite believing.

It was Sept 29-30 which I knew had to be unrealistic after it was Nov 22-Dec 11 or something like that. Ordered 1/27, RN1144, in NJ.....

 

[Fitz1414]

I guess I am officially out of the EOQ rat race. EDD updated this morning indicating 10/03 - 10/17. Pushed out 4 days but tightened the spread by 7 day. Still skeptical but encourage by the tweaking of dates.

 

[jamieb]

As reported, a VIN appeared yesterday with EDD window today through 9/30. This morning the window narrowed to 9/27-30. I interpret this to mean that the car is being transported from Fremont (we're about 2 hours away) to the Rocklin delivery center to be prepped and I'll be given opportunity to schedule pickup next week.

 

[bridge-player]

Same RN as you but my EDD is Sept 24 to 30, but I think it's fake news, lol.

I am in the Bay Area, with RN 1149... Ordered in mid-May. White/black/19. EDD is September 24 to 30.

I actually want the car later, and possibly get a 2022. Will defer if they actually can deliver this quarter.

 

[spartan0516]

MS LR, Red, Black 21", No FSD, RN1155. Ordered on 8/30 and EDD has been blank since order date. Finally got an EDD today with Dec 11 - Dec 31. Might be officially entered into the next EOQ race? lol

 

[swagpapi]

MS LR, Black, Black, RN1148 VIN 9/23

Funny story... I got my vin yesterday and delivery set for this Saturday when of course I am gone. Called the delivery center and they told me that I could change to pick up for today. Change my plans... waiting on my text to head over to the fremont factory and leave for the weekend.

This morning they call me and tell me that the car still needs to go through inspection and they would be changing delivery to Sunday and they had no idea why they changed my pick up for today. Saturday would have been fine, Sunday would have been fine, Monday is also fine, just don't tell me that it's gonna be Friday and then throw me a psych once I've changed all my plans! I'm not mad, you're mad

 

[Aparajith]

Well I guess that's that, Called a Tesla SA and asked them what was going on with my delivery as I need to switch from Cash payment to Loan and I got a really helpful SA to look at the forecasted system which said Match to VIN in October. Pretty bummed about it but atleast I know I wont be scrambling next week to get insurance and loan approval. Current EDD is Sept 24th to Sept 30th.

Me too! I am pestering about seeing if I can pick up today, but for the time being, I'm locked in at 1030AM tomorrow. Can't wait!

 

[jamieb]

Proactively called Tesla to schedule my delivery next Tuesday as I have clinics and surgeries scheduled the rest of the week; they said the car is in final inspection at the factory and Tuesday should work, so they made the appointment for pickup at Rocklin on Tuesday at noon.

I ordered the exact same EDD 9/24-30 also near East Bay. I'll take it! RN 1147. Still waiting for a VIN and call back from SA on status. No VIN as of today.

I’m sure had I asked to inspect the car before doing the online acceptance they’d have let me. Problem is, I spent 10 minutes behind a guy accepting delivery and while I waited a couple other people got in line behind me. I’m pretty sure had I insisted on inspecting the car it would have been an all day ordeal given the lack of staffing. So I just accepted, drove off and hoped for the best.

I did do a rudimentary walk around before driving off, so if something major was askew, I’d have spent the afternoon trying to get it acknowledged, but that wasn’t necessary. Pristine vehicle so I got lucky.
