I ordered on 4/18, had date range estimates for 3 or 4 days after .... haven't had any since. Just says Delivery 5-9 weeks from order

I agree. I'd have no problem with an honest but accurate estimate even if that's months away.
Estimates this unreliable give the impression that Tesla is either incompetent or dishonest.
I've been told numerous times by several SA's they have no insight into your order until you're assigned a VIN #..
Maybe I just had to wait until more people in Indiana ordered. Thanks guys!

Well I actually had a question per my trade in, I got a text from Tesla and I wanted to make sure the documents went through. They helped to confirm..What did that exactly accomplish? SA’s don’t know more than we do.
other than that you’re right, I trust the forum people more
Just some information for everyone to potentially help out.. I use to work in auto manufacturing. It's a nightmare. You're highly dependent on suppliers. Then you toss in all the variables of different configurations, different geographic locations and it becomes a nightmare. There are then tooling changes for different configs. If you change tooling too often, that's time and money, but you must change for different configs. There could be literally thousands of variables. semiconductors, seats, paint chemicals, downtime for certain robots, staffing, defects. It's endless. I think what Tesla is trying to do is provide you a rough estimate. When it slips it means something is ahead of you, which I would suspect is any of these variables. If you ordered a Red Model Y and you're in Texas, it's unlikely you'll get on the schedule until more of those are ordered.

The entire Model Y lead time seems to shift daily. We ordered on 4-11 the same set up as you: LR AWD, Midnight Silver Metallic, Black & white 5-seat interior, 20-inch, Tow Hitch, no FSD.
Yesterday, May 13-31.
Today, 6-10 weeks from order.
Go figure.
Agree. You know we'd all still be tracking VIN receipt dates in spreadsheet, though
.. it would certainly reduce the heartburnThank you and I hope you get an update for your vehicle soon! I'm a bit nervous about the home delivery because I'm pretty picky about paint chips and such. I have an appt to get the whole vehicle wrapped in PPF next week.
depends on who the SA is
but I personally see them pulling a different App to query production line numbers. Usually they don't like to do it because its a pain to get it going and it sometimes doesn't succeed on querying. And the time is unpredictable until its close to the end of the production line. Saying so, not surprised you are being told this.

They do this for Model 3 orders like my M3P it said 5-9 wks the entire time since they don't focus on North American orders until like the last month of the quarter, they just focus on oversees. But the Model Y is not exported outside of North America which is probably why they can give you dates based on production
My order hasn't changed since I posted last. Still estimated may 14th-june 3rd, for San Antonio Texas. It's really frustrating. Now I am reading things that make me just want to cancel, and wait until the texas factory is completed. Also the fact that FSD may become subscription based, makes me want to remove the FSD again because well, that's 10k lol. So that's a bit annoying because I had a VIN almost instantly assigned when I ordered the performance with no FSD. Sigh, not a pleasant experience. I knew it was going to be different and have read all the horror stories, but man actually living it is awful.

More expensive in what way? I get over time it can and will be more expensive(especially if you got into FSD early) but I can't imagine they would charge more than $300 a month, no? I've tried to look for more details but seems we just won't know much more until Tesla actually tells us.
I have a really dumb question: does FSD option require a hardware change upon ordering? I thought it was just a software mod--such that selecting one way or the other wouldn't effect delivery date. Is that right?
From the MYP chat group, looks like the color Red is getting no love on the production floor. Ordered my red MYP on 4/2. Shows 5/20-6/10
Nope all models comes with the hardware needed... only need to activate it for 10k
