Totally agree. It's less about getting fussed about the wait, it's more about expectations management. I'm without car too but due to COVID restrictions in my part of North America, it was less of an issue as I wasn't really going anywhere and could use my wife's car. Let's see how our one car situation works with restrictions easing
Just an update on delivery of this car - I consider myself one of the lucky ones. In addition to getting the car earlier than expected, delivery went very smoothly. My wife and I had lunch at a restaurant down the street prior to delivery, and it was exciting to pull up the Tesla app on my phone and see "my" car getting charged!
These arrived today and they are really nice. They are silicone, not leather or fake leather but the design is simple and clean with the Tesla logo on one side and a clear window on the other. They are very sturdy. Your key card will not bend when it's in these. TANDRIVE also included 8 glow in the dark stickers for marking the buttons to open the doors.
Tweet some of the "influencers" and maybe they will mention the issue....
BINGO! I think we are in the same boat, ordered around the same time late May. I'd love to get my MY sooner rather than later, but I understand that with it being end of quarter, it's going to be nuts. Also, this is like the hottest car in the market right now! They have pretty much sold out capabilities for Q3 and with demand as big as it is, they have taken the "take it or leave it approach" It sucks and eventually that will bite them in the ass but for now, everybody wants what they are selling.
Here's the issue though: there was (still is) and extreme amount of ambiguity during Q2. With the containment hold, switch to Vision, parts issues, etc. dates for pretty much everyone were flying all over the place. To put it in perspective, I once had an EDD of mid-May. It is now 6 weeks later and I still don't have a car. I can honestly say my EDD has changed at least 25 times since I ordered. For some, it's not a big deal and you get it when you get it. For others, there is a lot to plan around a new car. What do you do with your existing car? What about financing? Should I do it now and risk having to re-apply which can affect credit? Or should I wait? My old car's registration was due on May 1 so I had to make the call then to either sell my car, or pay the registration. At that time my EDD was mid to late May so I sold it. Had I known it was going to be at least another 6 weeks, I probably wouldn't have done that. Ultimately it hasn't affected me that much because we have another car in the household. But not everyone has that luxury.
Take that back!!! LOL I do have some reason to get mine soon. My 2016 Tacoma is worth more now than it was 3 months ago. 3 weeks ago, Carmax offered me $32,500 for it and now it's down to $31,500. I'd unload it now, but I'd be stuck walking. A rental car would cost me upwards of $2000/month so not an option. So for now, I play the waiting game like everyone else and mutter under my breath when someone who ordered 6/5 got their VIN on 6/6 and picked up on 6/8. Yeah I could get mad, but I choose patience. for now..
I guess what I'm saying is let's see how patient you are when it's been another 4, 6, even 8 weeks from now and you still haven't received your car.

- and try to be patient.
That is so messed up. That’s what happens when a company prioritizes hitting numbers. Unfortunately they can get away with this since there’s no competition. I am going through a similar situation where I was supposed to take delivery of mine last weekend but the roof glass came damaged from transit and the glass is a major back-order so they won’t provide any sort of timeframe. They haven’t offered any help for me- no loaner, no discounts, no upgrades. They just said either 1) I wait for that to come in stock or 2) hope that someone doesn’t pick up their matching build to my MY and I’ll be “next in line” for that.
Other than the white interior and a few day, we're one in the same!The more I read your posts the more I get confused . Are you me?
Performance models seem to be more prevalent than non-P in regards to existing inventory. Since you just ordered, you don't have to worry about price increases (yet!) so I would be on the lookout for those. Otherwise, yeah, P's seem to get to people quicker in general.Relatively new here and completely understand the impatience. I would LOVE to have my car right now and can’t seem to stop myself from checking and refreshing the website literally 30 times a day. I totally agree reading this forum, and refreshing my order page, is adding to my car anxiety but I can’t seem to help myself. Putting into perspective the crazy changing EDD dates people report (and I’m sure I will soon experience for myself), it does seem like 90%+ of people are getting their cars within their original estimated time window. April seems to be the big exception. So I’ll keep refreshing - after all, I can’t help myself
MYP- white on white
Order / profile completed 6/20
Current EDD 7/2-7/22
Original estimate 1-10 weeks / original EDD 7/4-7/24
My "touchless" delivery was a bit more hands on. The delivery specialist was in his early 20's and actually came out to check on how my inspection was proceeding. I pointed out some minor polishing / waxing residue, and he went inside to get some materials and cleaned it up. He had actually driven the car from the storage lot (actually a warehouse) in Tysons Corner where it was prepped. He also updated some registration details as Maryland is different from Virginia where he normally works. Then he showed me some interior tips, and noted that a Tesla tire pump in included (required in Maryland if no spare is included with the car.). Not the same as my delivery experience with other cars (part of the dealer / salesperson compensation is based on delivery performance,) but better than others have experienced.
