My re-evaluation was nearly 2 weeks, and looks like it will expire before I get a VIN assigned.I've been waiting for someone to re-evaluate my trade in for 2 weeks (website says that someone would contact me within 24 hours...). The trade in only has 300 miles more than the first time they evaluated it. No one responds to any of my requests - a little professionalism would go a long way. Very disappointing.
"Hey Elon, how much is the 'basic human decency and professionalism package' for the Model Y? I ask because it has to be more than the $2500 I gave you guys 16 months ago. Thanks!"My re-evaluation was nearly 2 weeks, and looks like it will expire before I get a VIN assigned.

Right there with you...and super salty about it!!!! I drove 7 hours just to test drive one to renew my interest.
They did the same for me. I have a quote from Carvana that I'm ready to pull the trigger on...provided I get a VIN /delivery any time soon. I think Tesla just doesn't want to deal with trade-ins altogether. I can understand this; but it's a part of being the car business.They gave me an updated quote after I reached out in the chat applet. They offered me zero dollars! Definitely a slap in the face, so I’ll go with CarMax/Carvana. I’m excited for some competition in the space...

I ordered around the same time as you. Just got a VIN assignment yesterday. I think pre-orders were shafted so that they could reach their quarterly goals.
Believe me, I will NEVER pre-order again.Congratulations to you getting that Vin. Hopefully Tesla start to yake care of those that dropped $2,500
Down . I could have picked up Stock in the $220 range made money .
Heck probably would have got my Tesla if I ordered last week lol

From what I was told and see with pre ordering is you dont get hit by the price increases. For example if you changed or ordered your config in April to get the tow package as a factory build you paid nearly $5k more. Instead of just keeping the original config and paying $1k for the add on after delivery. Also as a pre order, you are getting the extra service by waiting until all the bugs are worked out. My view is those who pre order set the standard for market and the rest will create the frenzy.Believe me, I will NEVER pre-order again.

Maybe but I have several factors working against me right now, the biggest being I might not even get a Y because they won't take a power of attorney. My husband deploys in 34 days for 6+ months. No husband, no loan, no car. Crazy, I've bought and sold 3 houses with a power of attorney but Tesla won't take one. So yeah, I might have saved some money but honestly I've been so stressed out about it, I would have paid more to not deal with this.
