Can I ignore messages about scheduling my delivery?

[Berles]

I placed an order for a Model Y back in June 2020 and have been fortunate that I've been able to delay my order by completing the bare minimum of my delivery/order tasks. Back in Dec. 2021 when many with old orders were receiving notice that they had to accept delivery soon or their order would be canceled, I received a more mild "please just select a delivery location" or your order will be cancelled noticed. Since I confirmed my location, I've been getting messages from the local Tesla shop that my Y will be available late March and that I need to select a delivery time window. There's been no mention of needing to do so in order to not lose my order, so I guess I'm wondering if anyone has experienced this and how strict this timing may be? I thought Tesla assigned the delivery windows, but in this instance I'm being asked to voluntarily select one.

To this point, I have filled out my registration details, although I've not actually submitted them as complete. I definitely intend to take the Y when I have to, but I've just putting it off because my partner got a Y back in 2020 and we honestly don't have a need for two vehicles right now. That said, my configuration is $15k less than current rates and I certainly don't want to lose it.

just delay to the next delivery cycle.

of course you can ignore messages about scheduling your delivery. Perfectly ok. Just like it will be OK for tesla to cancel your order.

If you really want to take delivery, I suggest you knock out the rest of the steps pronto. At $15k under current prices, you could just take delivery and sell it a month later and probably net a nice payday.

Thanks for the input everyone! I talked to a sales rep and they did confirm that I've been sitting long enough and this was last call, so I'll be taking delivery this Sunday.

Curious what’s your config/OTD price?

Long range, Midnight Silver, black interior, FSD = $58,990

Why not tell them you want to put your order on hold?

Tesla is no longer accepting multiple hold requests. You get to be not-ready or have logistical issues with taking delivery one time. After that you need to take the car you ordered.

Actually in this instance, I never asked to hold delivery at any point (since I filled in as little delivery info as possible); however, since my order was so old it became a take it or leave situation - which I completely understand. I opted to take it and couldn't be happier! Still given the recent backlash Rivian faced with their price changes to existing orders (and subsequent walk back) I think it's remarkable that I could have a reservation for as long as I did, only put $100 down, and essentially got my Y at a 20% discount from current pricing.
