Got my VIN today just a few short days after my EDD was pushed way out to 8 Apr - 6 May! Now I have an NF4705 VIN and EDD of 12 - 18 Feb. Time to scramble for loan and insurance or pass it up to wait for Spring since I’m stuck with summer tires on the 21” wheels!
The further out I get the more I realize that I have no clue what strategy Tesla implements for shipping cars. Here are the stages of my thought process/grief since ordering.
1. Ordered before the Father's day rush, that will move me up
2. 19s on back order, that will push me back.
3. Shortage on albino cows, that will push me back.
4. Midwest usually gets end of quarter push, that will move me up.
5. Added FSD, that will move me up
6. The SA said I should be getting a match soon, that should move me up.
7. Shortages of AS tires, that will move me back
8. Ordered before price increase, that will move me back
9. Nobody else in the Midwest is getting cars, that will move me back
At the end of the day I wish I didn't know any of this information because bottom line is none of it matters. You will get your car when the Tesla Gods decide you are worthy.
I will now go refresh my Tesla app for the countless time today.
