That depends on what you are planning to do with the car, as well as the cost.
Is it worth spending 3k on a 60k car? Probably not.
Normally I do my own paint protection twice a year, but this time I am going to go for a “cheap” ceramic coat at under 1k - as I live in an apartment for the moment.
Its impossible to tell, especially this early. the cut off for Q1 as an example was 20/12/2021 (where it changed from 8-12 to 12-16 or something like this) however there has been cases of ppl ordering in early Jan that now has VIN assigned as well as customers ordering in early Nov. that dont have a VIN yet. LRs and Ps seem to attract longer wait times however odd configs, aka blue (yes blue seems to be less frequently selected colour) attract shorter wait times. These are my general observations that have played out over the course of my Q1 wait.
If you ordered right before the so called "cutoff", they can indeed retroactively change your date estimate. I happened to order on 20/12/2021, a few hours before the EDD changed from 8-12 to 14-20 weeks, and the date displayed on my order stayed as 8-12 for a few more days before also changing to 14-20 weeks.
But the date of the estimate changing isn't really a reliable indicator anyway, as there are LR orders from early Dec (2 weeks before the estimate changing) still with no VIN, and SR orders from Jan (2 weeks after estimate changing) with a VIN.
You get much better responses than my SA... my SA basically told me to shut up and wait.
I mean... he makes it sound like he doesn't even work at Tesla. Completely useless.
Similar experience to my SA, he was quite rude when I tried asking the whereabouts of my car actually so I've resorted to finding out myself. I've been monitoring this forum and Veda's discord since!
Honestly I sympathise with them, they probably don't know much more on the logistics side of things than we do. Their main role is probably to answer typical consumers about questions regarding car functionality, but more enthusiast level people like us crave more than that (understandably
). What good would it do to them to deliberately withhold info from us? Judging from what they sent you, they're doing their best to provide reassurance without providing any false hope, which is better than giving straight up wrong info.I am guessing that the Morning Clara is the final vessel which is in Shanghai port loading/about to be loaded with 3's bound for OZ
So we are thinking the SA meant the "final vessel" for the quarter . OK. It's surprising that 2 vessels only had RWDs on them but that would make sense from an old fashioned efficient production run batch p.o.v.. Interesting to note that Electronic Messiah hasn't disrupted the **** out of that.
I had a good experience with my SA. I called yesterday and he immediately recognised me without even me telling my name. And he started talking about my previous queries when I ordered, current order status and when should I start making the payment.
Basically, I only said, thanks to him .. rest he told me all by himself
Nope the deliveries that are currently happening now (ie) those picking up cars have also included LR. It seems that some that ordered LR's back in late 2021 are still yet to get VIN's etc. My SA told me today there is a large backlog for deliveries. Also the 5-7 months is probably more like 7 months but there will be outliers that receive beforehand from cancelled orders.
I got the short end of the stick with my order experience unfortunately. RWD white/white build date 8/1 with no sms text still (and slipping EDD). I've seen someone in Brisbane with the exact same config and build date taking their delivery on 18/1! Just my luckI had a good experience with my SA. I called yesterday and he immediately recognised me without even me telling my name. And he started talking about my previous queries when I ordered, current order status and when should I start making the payment.

I was exact config as yours... order updated to RWD yesterday (14/02) .. VIN in source this morning (517) no EDD yet
Think it will, I ordered the LR red... just now been told that LR are in high demand and now probally looking at April
