The RAV4 Hybrid was our first choice.
I was glad when I sat in it and my head pretty much touched the roof.
That and the wait made the decision to get a Tesla pretty easy

Thanks for the insights
Guess i'll have to wait until they get to sub batching for my config.
Back to waiting for just my EDD to change from "TBD"...3+ months and counting
I feel your pain. I went through a lot of the same. Hopefully yours will be quicker. Unfortunately, Tesla's communication is pretty bad and you can't really trust what they say.
You can always sms them to that number they msg you from and always call them. If you reach out and ask they are usually helpful and friendly. Albeit as you know not that aware of wtf is going on...... just trust what the Web portal says.
Another idea is if you can bend on config, every state has quite some stock in various forms. I tried to get a rwd 19" black int MY in red and tried to get them to drop the price, however they said the process is cancel your order and rebus what you want and if it lines up with current stock your in luck. If you ring they can tell you what's in stock. Just a thought
Some ? many Toyo dealers playing silly buggers by putting their orders in either themselves or via a proxy then selling the brand new car as a "demo" with inflated prices.
"Sorry currently 3 year wait but we have a demo with 50km on the clock immediately available. Just 120% of normal price".
Just wondering if you know the date you got the invoice please?
I’m really curious to know invoice compared to booking sms.
Cheers!

Ordered: 3-Aug-2023
Vin allocated / final invoice: 17 August
RAV date of entry: 14 August
EDD: 8-29 September
EDD2: 30 September - 21 October (updated on 5 September)
Interestingly, the Tesla rep called me about 2 weeks after placing the order and said a lot of people get stuck in a catch 22. The final invoice (and sometimes VIN) wont be generated/allocated until the Payment Method/Finance section is finalised, but banks often require the final invoice to finalise financing. I hadn’t filled out the Payment Method section in the checklist because it asks for “The exact amount approved by your finance company” and I was still waiting on approval. He asked how much finance I had applied for, entered that in manually and said it could be changed later if needed. I had my VIN and final invoice the following day.
After reading some of the recent posts, I guess I'm in the same boat as a few others
waiting for port congestion / the ship to dock.

Hi JonDarian, yes thanks for the pic. So its confirmed its a but curved. I ordered a new bracket from Tessories which is flat/straight. I can post pics once i get them.
Whilst it doesn’t say it’s for addressing any gaps you mention.. I did notice Tessories sell a slimline license plate bracket which shows before and after pictures.
Just hides the black plastic behind the plate.

Thanks for the response including your invoice date.
Tesla told me that I’d get my final invoice about 1 week before delivery. Seems that wasn’t quite correct.
Guess I just play the waiting game. Lol
That ia exactly what i orderedWhilst it doesn’t say it’s for addressing any gaps you mention.. I did notice Tessories sell a slimline license plate bracket which shows before and after pictures.

EDD still shows as AUG - SEP 2023 and only have the RN.
