AWD delivery thread

[sperkin]

Not knowing exactly what they wrote to you in the email, this is more classic Tesla nonsense. They are "only doing Q3 deliveries." Hmmm, yet there are a ton of reports of people with October delivery dates scheduled. So WTF are they talking about. They just constantly pull stuff out of, well you know.

Sorry to be clear. They said I could wait for a later delivery if I'm not available to pickup at end of Sept because they are trying to prioritize Q3.

So they moved my October delivery up so it hits Q3. I can only pick up on weekends.

We should be in roughly the same tranche, same configuration date (my reservation was actually later). I'm in the bay area, same car configuration except I also added FSD. FWIW I'm a cash buyer w/ no trade-in and forced into home delivery. I did get emails for scheduling delivery and in theory a confirmation for home delivery in on 9/24. However I haven't seen any status change on the website (e.g. show that I have delivery scheduled). Apparently according to a later post by @dlieu I shouldn't expect any website updates.

Arnold, honestly the only 2 movements I got from the second call are that the design is now locked out, + ACH payment option is now showing with amount (I suppose it is final?). Still no final purchase agreement. That, and verbal nod to the previously scheduled delivery date, but the website still says sep-nov . It's like they dropped their web flow entirely and just keep data in some spreadsheets or something and every step information is updated individually and fairly arbitrarily At least they want me to pay early, that's progress

I think you’re right and I’m seriously considering adding it.

Do it before the 24th when prices go up again....

One week east coast transit seems very fast and aggressive timeline (from CA to NY by train). heard takes 2 weeks at least. Will you be able to track the VIN in one of the train link that was floating around to see where is the car to confirm whether it is really one week.. if it is then it is really great news.

Grrrrr Argggggg I stand corrected.
Turns out my car is on it's way to Dedham despite the fact they can't sell it to me. The rep said I have to "pick it up at the train station". WTF? This is after she told me it was going to Portland...as in Oregon. As discussed a few days ago when I had called Tesla it was to let them know despite what their software selected as a delivery point, those people could not legally sell a car into CT and they'd have to send it to Mt Kisco, NY. Well, it's going to Dedham via train, as you indicated. So now I have to wait for my IDA to call, he's Cory, if anyone has dealt with him before, and have him figure it out.
Maybe they could do the paperwork, in Mt Kisco and they could do dealer prep in Dedham. I can't see hanging around a rail yard looking for a lost red Tesla M3. OMG, what a CF! Oh, and the Sept 30 date they originally gave me would have been impossible as it's on a train to Dedham and won't be there then.

But it's on it's way. To me, Sept 30 vs Oct 2 is a non-issue. They just can't book that revenue in Q3.

If you didn't want it, why get it? People who think that's the latest from the entrails is wrong. Everyone who reserved (as in before end of June) will get their cars in the next 6 weeks. Is it worth spending $5,000 on something you don't want, to try to get advantage in line.

Why do you believe this?

That’s actually a discounted price, after the 24th it will probably go back to $6000 if ordered after delivery.

I give up. Same configuration minus EAP, picking up in Chicago and a day two res holder. I mean EAP must be getting priority. It's the only thing I can come up with at this point.

Hang in there .....there are alot of us 2016 people who are getting overlooked by some magical formula. you are not alone.

 

[0mpg]

i have EAP and FSD and cannot get any information from anyone. If they were prioritizing $$$ why sell all those cars with 18 inch wheels for the last few months.

 

[Tricia]

Same no update to account. I'm on home delivery and scheduled for 9/28. No updates on my account, even after completing and being approved on loan application. I did receive another email yesterday from the DSA confirming my schedule, but still not update on account as of today

They said if all payment info is secured, you would hear from them closer to delivery date. I too have a delivery 9/26 2:00. No vin but my account is all different. It says: awaiting. delivery. No other info is in there like begoreb

 

[Tricia]

I have a friend who lives a few miles from the Fremont CA plant. Tesla has twice scheduled a delivery of his car (most recently today), and hasn't shown up either week AND, no one even called to say they weren't coming. He has e-mailed and left voicemails with the "delivery specialist" and his supervisor, and hasn't heard anything back from either one of them. He is canceling his order. Can you blame him? What the hell is going on?

could friend go there and talk to someone? If I were some of you, I would’. Take the new push for the 2 colors to order and get my car in 2-4 weeks. It has to be ordered by Friday

 

[cmyke]

Starting to get nervous about getting my delivery on time.

What’s the closest to delivery date that someone has still had their edit button, and had their car arrive on time?

I’m supposed to pick mine up on the 22nd but I can still access the configurator back door, implying my car hasn’t yet entered production. It’ll be a race to the finish to have it built and shipped from the west coast to east coast inside of a week and a half, I’d think. (account shows a confirmed delivery date)

I am in the same boat. Scheduled to pickup on 22nd. The website still shows the same message (since July) “a delivery specialist is reviewing your changes and will contact you prior to delivery”. No way to enter my CU details.

There’s a lot of fear, uncertainty, and doubt (all warranted, I get it) about the delivery order here. Maybe we can shed some light on what’s going on by thinking about the problem from Tesla’s point of view.

If what we’ve heard is true that they’ve at least temporarily stopped prioritizing based on reservation/order date, are batch manufacturing, and batch delivering to locales to maximize profit before the end of the quarter, then it stands to reason that your delivery timetable is currently based on two factors:

1. The number of orders in your locale with the same or very similar configuration

2. That your mix of #1 + relative logistical ease of delivery is more advantageous than another locale

If they make a batch of White / AWD / 19” Tires / Black Interior tomorrow, their goal would be to find the most logistically beneficial locale with a minimum number of orders of that configuration. They load up a transport, contact those with orders to prepare for delivery, and then assign one of the VINs from the shipment. Done. Next batch on deck.

If you look at it with that lens, it’s easy to see that the Fremont event last weekend was exactly as described above, albeit with less transport logistics involved (across town rather than across state lines = even more efficiency).

I looked at the data in the tracker to see if this could be verified, but the sample sizes and disparity in configurations in single locales make it almost impossible to find the pattern.

tl;dr - The tendency here lately has been to believe that there is no order to any of this, but it is far more likely that we don’t have enough data to see the pattern and it is actually about how many likeminded individuals with the same configuration are in your area.

I'm stuck at that same point too, also picking up on the 22nd. I need to make a small change to my insurance expiration date but am locked out of changes until someone reviews my comment. Finally got a response from my IDA today and he told me that I should be able to enter my info now....only to go look at the page and see that nothing has changed. Now I have to wait probably days for him to respond again. Hopefully this will all correct itself automatically when a VIN is actually assigned.

P.S. Ultra jealous about your tax rate...

Nope, I ran through the spreadsheet data. While 23% of people with my config didn’t order EAP. 25% of the deliveries of my config have no EAP... so I would consider that statistically equal. Not ordering EAP is not a significant factor.

How did you get in touch with your IDA ? Is your IDA same as DSA (delivery scheduling advisor) ? I had emailed my DSA (Brodie) few days back and haven’t heard back. You are right. This may work itself out once a VIN is assigned. I just hope that I get VIN early next week so that I can get the loan processed. I

I know what you mean about the tax rate. Very few advantages of being in NJ. This is one of them

No, different people for me. I guess I got lucky in the fact that my DSA forwarded my response on the initial scheduling email to my IDA. It was then my IDA that responded to indicate that my appointment had been scheduled. I then asked about this issue, but it took a few days to get a response (that ended up not being helpful). My DSA has never responded to me (I asked her the same question I asked my IDA). I got an email from the DSA even after my initial reply from the IDA, but it looked like an automated message telling me to be sure to complete my profile, etc.

That just means you don’t have a VIN assigned yet, but apparently they aren’t assigning them until a few days before delivery now.
