Current Delivery Times

[TravelFree]

Pretty much the same with Allstate. But since I / we have to show VIN on a policy, to complete the process and I have a trade-n car, then I will need to carry 3 cars on the policy for couple days. I went through this last year with my MS. But the problem is worse this year as my renewal date is May 1. So on April 29 I have to pay for the 2 car policy. Then if the MY arrives I have to adjust the policy for a third car and pay the difference. Then when I pick up the MY and trade in the Leaf, the policy is adjusted again for two cars and they refund the additional I paid. If I time it right, knowing the pickup date, they will date the policy for the delivery day switch and I only end up paying for the MY and the MS. At least that's how we worked it last year. IMO, unnecessarily complicated, but had Tesla kept my original delivery dates, it would be a simpler process like last year.

BTW I did check with Progressive and USAA for competitive quotes and the saving wasn't worth it. Allstate gives me lots of discounts that I would lose.

Moved up as of this morning to April 26 - May 13

Yeah I have a same question about insurance too. I just got my vin today. Do I add it now or wait until I receive a delivery date?

I'm going to wait until delivery day. Ultimately I don't want to be in the same situation where I have to have both cars listed on my policy. Once I have delivery scheduled then I'll setup the swap for that date.

Congrats to those receiving VINs ( yet to get one assigned) good news is because everyone else has gotten one my dates are closer now 4/25-5/2

I would imagine that Progressive is much more difficult with timing changes. At least with Allstate, I can go to a local office / agent and they work with me while I wait. Can't complain about how tolerant they are. BTW- the setup had to be done the day before scheduled pickup so I had to have the policy papers in hand when I went to Tesla that morning. Payment of the 2 policy premium had to be made within 24 hours. The agent had my CC# and I just verified the pickup swap went off OK. I don't know how this will work this year with the renewal date so close.

Ordered March 27:
Black
20" wheels
Black interior

I'm all set to go except for submitting the loan application, since I was told to wait (to avoid a second credit pull).

Delivery window has gone back and forth but pushed back considerably today. Now it's May 23 to June 22!

my MYP delivery has been moved all over the place. Ordered Apr 8 and was originally given Apr 27 - May 27. Monday changed to June 1-30. Today changed to May 11 - June 10. Cutting it pretty close with my current lease expiring on June 8.

I actually had to change from Geico to Wawanesa(Didnt bother with Tesla since i still have the Prius Prime), since my rates were going up due to a freak hydroplane of the prime in December. I let them know a few days before of the pickup date, then after pickup I called and cancelled Geico.

I originally planned on inventory purchase too but the ones that we liked were all older build with the older ctr console. SA said to wait until after 4/1 but I thought there would be a price increase so I ordered on 3/27. Now I wait. No big deal so far. Eventually it will get here and by some dumb luck, maybe they update the headlights which has much higher probability than the Congress passing the tax credits.

Ordered last Saturday, picking up next Tuesday in Scottsdale. Sweet.

Got a text that they will drop off MY in the next 1-3 days, was able to get Tesla insurance quote, paid for everything and setup auto-pay. Contract will be ready for signature tomorrow.

 

[schnabel45]

Yup I'm in a similar boat! Just got my VIN assigned around 12pm, but the estimate was the 1-10 weeks type. As of about 1pm I got a 6 day window!

So maybe they've been making white MYs in Fremont last couple of days lol.

recap of history:

Nice! Ordered mine 04/05. What are your design details?

Nice! Ordered mine 04/05. What are your design details?

It's in my profile, but it's pretty basic: LR, white with black/white interior. (19", no FSD, no perf, no tow, 5-seater)

Ok thanks. I guess Tesla made a lot of white MYs. I just hope they started making the other colors too.
Congrats on the quick turnaround!

 

[_ayn]

Ya, I was gonna get all black, we've had black cars in the last 15 years, but I don't want the bigger wheels and performance for various reasons, and I think the 19" look better on white MYs, so went with white with the white seats (wifey loved the white seats in the MY we test drove, so put the 1k I saved on paint to the seats lol), I guess we got lucky that they've been making white cars. A friend ordered a white 7-seater and the window also moved up to 4/30-5/20, still much longer than 5-seaters but I guess not bad.

That's exactly my config. So when did you order?

 

[GeekyDoc]

The other thing to consider is that all the earlier VIN assignments are for the west coast; I have seen maybe 2 for the eastern coast so far. This holds in line with what folks were saying: that west coast deliveries happen the first month and then the rest are geared towards the east coast and Canada. Hopefully there's some logic to this!

 

[_ayn]

Good choice! I posted the timeline above, but order was placed 4/10 10:23. I guess it takes a few weeks to transport them to FL.
