I agree EDDs are not reliable and mine was pushed from June to Sep, but with some wavering as you say. However, this was due to unforeseen circumstances (lockdown), rather than planned activity. That’s my glimmer of hope. Of course others could be right and we could be intentionally pushed back also.
We’ve had it too, sometimes just a variant of a model. Our EDDs are windows too, they are often a few weeks. I agree they’re no more than a current best guess which makes it funny when people have a 6 week EDD range move by 1 day.
Assuming full production rates (17k/wk before shutdown and 22k/wk after) then by the end of august they should have produced roughly the same amount of cars with only a couple of thousand difference. So if they start shipping to europe mid to late july then early august is still doable. Maybe not likely but possible.
Haha. Yes. Y release was a shock to all involved i think, including Elon apparently. Too many accountants, lawyers, finance bros and shareholders chasing profit and not enough focus on the people who give them their money (i.e. us) in my opinion.I agree EDDs are not reliable and mine was pushed from June to Sep, but with some wavering as you say.

It doesn’t help that you Aussies have massively added to the demand for RHD MYs!
Lol! Must be infuriating, an EDD messing with you like that.
I take issue when I just missed Q2 deliveries by a few days (as most were allocated to mid-March), and any further delays on the supply chain would push me further to a Sept - Oct delivery, bringing my total lead time order-to-delivery to 6 months +, when I was promised 3 when I initially placed my order.
Well as the Y assembly line won't be reopened until mid-July I am confused as to what you expect them to ship by that date?
At best nothing, at worst that someone in production is bollocking the higher ups because they are afraid of losing their job. "Honest we're 2 weeks ahead of schedule Mr Elon, Sir"
. Would explain why Elon is so often completely wrong on his projections.That mid March allocation was odd. I have a day 1 YP on order but decided to get a LR in the meantime. I got a late March delivery but only ordered 3 weeks prior. Makes no sense at all
Yes it was the original plan - from Q3, however Berlin was late, very late coming online and it's progress since opening hasn't exactly been stellar.
Well, GF4 produced around 40 LR for Sixt beides some Ps for Sixts as it seem in the last week of Q2. In the first week of Q3, iGF4 seems to have produced black LRs as show cars for many centers at least in German and white LRs for delivery to customers. Some centers have around 12 cars prepared for delivery and 3 cars have already a confirmed VIN assignment or delivery. They are all 19 inch. Delivery do German Model P customers looks also good as far as I can assess (black and white ordered till February have been mostly delivered).
RHD MYPs are supposed to be coming from GF Berlin and this now looks like Q4 at the earliest.. probably 2023 for main stuff.
I think you've got more chance of winning the lottery! As far as we're all aware, MYPs are coming to the UK from Berlin but RHD variants haven't even been built yet, I'd be extremely surprised if you see it this year.
Not sure if this helps and a bit of a stretch from shut downs but to quote Diodorous Kronos,Came for the production news, stayed for the drama
Philosophical question: if something didn’t happen, is it a movement? Just trying to really fire things up here.
