Just catching up in this thread…. Been a while since I’ve caught up.
my opinions….
AB - for those of us debating about MYP or MYLR, this is really where the value lies. I have caught myself saying "if I switch to a MYP I can get it sooner, I’ll have a faster car (if you’re not first you‘re last (tm-RickyBobbyInc), and I’ll possibly have a higher resale value". Then I realize, the wheels scare me (tiny sidewall = flats, curb rash, staggered formation so more cost for tires and you can"t rotate them) and the suspension is even more harsh than the MYLR and people complain about how harsh that suspension is. I’m coming from a prior ‘09 C63 so a stiff suspension is fine, but the MYP i think will be too much (for sure for the wife). Now for $2k you get 50% of the performance, keep wheels that you can rotate tires on, softer suspension and even may look a little stealth? Sign me up!! That said, bottomless wallet I’d take the MYP.
EDD - I had my order on hold until 6/4, but in hindsight if I had a completed profile before it was on hold I may have an earlier EDD. As it stands I’m looking at August. when my Edd was 8/2-8/22 my SA told me my gate date was 8/7. Now my EDD is 8/9-8/29 he said my gate date is 8/12. I really think it’s just the crazy logic Tesla supply chain/manufacturing systems at work. There is no logic to us, but on the back end changes are happening for a reason and it cares nothing about your emotions, frustrations or expectations. I think as orders near 60+ days, they get a higher priority, but even that doesn’t guarantee a delivery in your initial timeframe.
This will be an exercise in patience, humility, patience (did I say that already) and ultimately reward as you drive off in your brand new custom built Tesla designed by you, built for you.
It pains me to say this, especially as for some where the wait has been hands down wayyy to long, but you have to enjoy the ride. This will one day be a story you share with friends, but as you get back into your MY you’ll forget all about it as you zip off and enjoy the ride.
Stay Positive!!!
