August Order Estimate Delivery

[Spandrel]

No, my OD was 8/1 and I've been sitting on 11/29 - 12/27 for over a month. My SA estimated second week of December for delivery.

I understand the frustration of that 28 day window. With an August 1st order date, you deserve your EDD before mine. You should definitely get you meal first since you were already seated when I walked in the restaurant.

I'm such a believer in fairness and equity that I totally think that anyone who ordered before me deserves to get theirs first. Elon has other ideas, unfortunately.

Delivery timeframe shrunk to a 10 day window today. Was sitting on a Dec 2 thru 30 window for three weeks.


Model MYLR | Exterior White | Interior Black | Seats 5 | Wheels 19" | Tow No | FSD No
Ordered 08/11/2021 | EDD 11/30 - 12/10 | VIN No | Delivery Date No

something happened with colors that Tesla changed the pricing there and now black I think is Free, which would have been cool if I wasn't moving to AZ next year

Black is actually now the second most expensive color: MSM and White are free, Blue is still $1k, Black is $1500, and Red remains $2K

Especially the May and June dates. Although, I believe the last two May's (at least on this forum) just got VINs

I don't think that it has anything to do with fairness or not. It has everything to do with complexity. Depending on your exact order (colors, addons, etc.) COMBINED with your delivery location will change when you get your order. I really doubt that Elon is like "f**k this guy, we're going to make sure he gets his a few weeks late". It is far more likely that his or her exact specs meant that his or her car entered the production queue later because they didn't have MSM in the paint machine yet, and they aren't going to empty out the paint machine between EVERY SINGLE CAR. They're going to do a batch of X number of cars that all have the same specs, then switch up the paint, and do a batch of Y number of cars that all have the same (new) specs, etc.

We don't have to like it or think it is fair, but I believe your logic is spot on to Tesla reality and is the reason why folks with weeks later ODs than mine who live on the east or west coast are getting VINs while my relatively unpopular spec (blue/black, 7 seats AND a tow) in a "flyover" state (MO) continues to be VINless.

Completely agree with this. I appreciate the fairness @Spandrel and in a restaurant situation I’m exactly the same but I imagine your batch is (from what I gather) east coast and they’re just shipping out a whole batch in one.

Whatever, we’ll get it when we get it. I’m going to keep pretending like I don’t refresh at least 10 times a day but appreciate the fun and games whilst also having a moan about Elon

I totally get why Tesla is doing it this way, from a production and business sense, just like in a restaurant, the kitchen may need to use the fryers to do a batch of fish fry orders all at once, before they can put some chicken wings in. I totally get that, but when you are hungry and sitting in the dining room, it is a natural instinct to feel a slight sense of "Hey....." when the table that arrived after you gets its food first.

I might be able to agree with that, except I have seen a lot of people who are waiting for specific builds have those exact builds come up as inventory cars. Now, I am not saying Tesla is indeed saying screw this person, but it does seem there are some holes in their logistics. But it does not increase profitability, so there is no need to fix it.

frustration.

Just be patient, my OD was August 7th, and EDD just shorten from Nov 21-Dec 11 to Nov 21-Dec 3 after I asked SA yesterday. Should be getting VIN any minute now.

update: my EDD moved slightly (update in sig). Hope you all get yours soon!

 

[FastRunner89]

I've been sitting between Nov 29 - Dec 19 for the past 3 months now. OD: Aug 15th, MYLR, MSM, 20", No-Tow, 5 Seat.

Looks like Tesla is delivering every other color car with an exception of Red. I think they are out of red paint.

I think you may be right…or so few ordering red that they can’t find a window to put enough red cars in paint shop to make it economical. I have a 8/4 order date and am looking at a 11/21-12/12 EDD.

I ordered a MYLR midnight silver and base wheels on 8/17. My EDD is Feb 23- March 23. Don’t know why it’s so late.

I have the exact same one, ordered on 8/31 but didnt complete profile until Nov 1 (don't ask ). My EDD updated today to Feb 22 - March 22. Would expect yours sooner due to my Profile issue
