Tesla's Model S and X Deliveries Are Rising Again

Model 3 and Y may represent the bulk of the electric-car maker's deliveries, but investors shouldn't overlook the importance of Tesla's two pricier models.

I did, and sadly I find it to be a rather poorly written article that doesn’t tell me anything substantial. These are the points I gathered:

1. Deliveries dropped - yes we know that
2. Deliveries are ramping up - yes, of course they are
3. Deliveries might go up even more - well, I would hope so given #1, #2, and the fact that a manufacturing plant should strive for continuous improvement.
4. High margin vehicles are great for Tesla - yes, I think we can all agree to that.
There’s a lot of “could”, “might”, “possibly” in this article, and everyone that’s placed an order for a MS in the last year has probably been thinking the same thing.

Maybe someone on this forum wrote it to give us hope.

In case anyone cares to share my misery... My EDD changed again. No surprise, they just pushed me back as i was about to enter the window. No worries, Tesla... It's only been 9 months. See sig for details

14 day window better than 20 day. That's a good sign.

Now I have a 6 day window October 16-22. So moved up four days but also widened by two days.

Still have a VIN

Looks like spillover Friday spilled over into Saturday. That could either be promising or terrifying, depending on your overall Karma and chakras orientation !

… <runs over to check own Date window… phew it’s still the same>

 

[oktane]

Mine got pushed back 3 weeks and widened to 4 weeks from 2.5 weeks. At least it’s not blank. I’m the whole month of November. Used to be first two weeks of October.

1150 -June 1 - Blue/white/19/FSD

EDD has been all over the place like the rest of you. Latest change is Dec 27-31. Was Dec 10-30. I think I’m on the EoQ wish list. Not taking any of these dates seriously any more. As in I can’t wait to see what they come up with next.

On a separate note - When I talked to the finance people, they told me who my TA is. (I think that’s an SA?). I’ve emailed a couple times with questions. Crickets. Any way to get an SA to answer a question or two?

They only seem to get responsive once the car is built. Then they disappear again after you take delivery.

I agree with everything you’ve said except number 2. I see no evidence they are ramping up. Actually seems to be slowing.
Also, number 4. We can all agree they are more profitable. But it seems that the author was saying that fact was a driving force behind ramping up. If that is true, why haven’t they ramped up until now (not that they actually have). I’ve wondered that for almost a year now. They ship $50k cars instead of $100k cars. The only thing I can think is that maybe because they have a certain amount of chips and the model S may require more chips than the other lower end models??? In other words, they can produce five MYs to every one model S.

Estimated Delivery: January 03 - January 31​

This is ridiculous

Updated again this morning.

Updated again this morning.

Estimated Delivery: December 04 - December 31​

Wow, that is a big swing so soon - so moved up to a good 30 days sooner or so - nice! Seems like sometime EOY makes senese depending on what happens. Maybe our EDDs for Q4 here will start to settle down soon into place.

 

[Btrflyl8e]

Updated again this morning.

Estimated Delivery: December 04 - December 31​

Seems about in line with where mine is. My EDD has been Nov 20-Dec 10 for a little while now, hasn't changed for a few weeks. Same configuration but 21s, 1145. Florida. Fingers crossed we start seeing some actually get delivered this month, and then I'll have more hope!

 

[travwill]

Still stuck at Estimated Delivery: November 28 - December 18 here now for a few weeks...

 

[Paul8810]

My date range narrowed to Oct 10-15 .. also received a VIN! MF451xxx
Was hoping for a 2022 VIN which I suspect will appear on TMC a day after I take delivery but I think I’ll take it. It’s happening!

Same although mine is probably a couple weeks at Dec 13 - Jan 2

 

[MFrunkerOG]

Crap crap crap! Went to February!

I hope that’s code for 2 weeks from now!!!

If not, I need to murder someone!

That usually is a GOOD sign, based on what I've seen here!
