Hey bud,Referencing the article from Electrek, is anyone else concerned about the length of time these cars will be outdoors exposed to the elements?
I'm also wondering what effect heat and sun will have to the exterior/interior, and what effect if any this will have on the battery. This is a big purchase for me and I'm planning to keep the car for a long, long time but am now a bit worried. Am I going overboard with my concerns?
Tesla is stuck with over 10,000 cars on factory hold, resulting in a logistical nightmare
Tesla has over 10,000 electric cars that came out of Fremont Factory on a “containment hold” and can’t deliver them...electrek.co
Don't worry about them sitting out in the sun, it's a car, they're made to be parked outside. I don't have a garage and I WFH in the Northeast, if my MY is in that lot that's the best outside weather it'll experience before it comes home to snow, rain and road salt. The cars were complete when they were parked there so nothing was exposed (at least ones without defects). The roof has UV light filtering so the interior is fine and again it's a car just like any ICE vehicle they make em durable for outdoor weather.

So anxious and refreshing too much ha. I go out of town June 6-13, so I'm really hoping I'm one of the lucky ones to have their car already at the SC just awaiting a software update.

Guys you really don't have to mention if you have FSD or not lol it has absolutely zero impact on delivery or availability. It's literally a switch on your account, not on the car. It will not affect anything, at all.
Nope - no change from the June 16-30 time frame. I dropped by the store in Montgomery Mall on Monday, and talked with the store leader to check on any updates and to glean any intel (I find in-person interaction more effective with Tesla.) I was chatting about accessories and if they were available at the DC to purchase (they are not,) and how long it takes for online fulfillment. He said that you better order now. I also mentioned that I needed more than 3 days notice to transfer cash from a brokerage account to my checking account, and he said I also better do that now. Whether that means anything, IDK, but I initiated the transfer yesterday.

That's about how it looked Friday when I was there, but at the time I didn't actually look through to see how many were LR/P - I'd strongly assume almost all, if not all, were LR, seeing how these VINs are going out - Unless the update is just hitting LR first, it seems like the Ps are almost not even manufactured yet.

Ya, anytime you're waiting on a new car it's a good idea to transfer the funds you're going to want to use from any investments accounts to a standard savings/checking account anyway. If the brokerage firm has issues they could literally delay transfers for weeks at times, if it's an FDIC issue. Savings accounts these days don't really give any kind of helpful interest, even with $100k in there, but I tend to use mine as a hold-over account for things like this.
