I got my info from my SA (worthless), DEM (pretty damn good, actually) and an acquaintance on Tesla’s homologation team. Once I connected with that last one, I was convinced that firmware was the issue. But he couldn’t/wouldn’t say what exactly it was or when it would be addressed.
Sorry, meant DEM. Delivery Experience Manager. Seems like the SAs report to them in some way. Higher than an SA, different from the local logistics team, but still local to stores or service centers. If you get a call from one, I think it means something is wrong and has been escalated in some way.
My girlfriend ordered a model 3 on 4/12, the same day I ordered a MYP, and her EDD is currently June 15-30. Remember kids - this is Tesla, where everything's made up and the dates don't matter!
Went there again, now about 80 Ys, lot almost full, they may fit maybe 20 more cars. Highest VIN from the one I checked was 191xxx and build date 05.10.
Did your SA tell you that? Do you know your VIN/build date? Would be interested because I'll be picking up near Chicago as well (Westmont specifically).
Yup, AnndyBo and I have both talked to a really helpful delivery specialist named David at the Schaumburg location. The specialist at Westmont is less helpful (more scripted response), so I just call Schaumburg for delivery questions and updates now haha.
I was told that my delivery will be early to mid-June, but they cannot “guarantee” that because of the firmware issue.
Store leader says he has a VIN, but is waiting for the firmware update.
Waiting on that info still. I’m picking up in Bloomington, IL. Schaumburg is closer for me as I’m in MKE, but they told me if I chose Schaumburg I’d have to wait even longer because they would have to line up a way for the vehicle to get there in time.
I had mentioned to him (through text) that people are reporting stockpiles at other SCs across the country, but he didn't comment about that. When we were at the Dublin SC a week ago I didn't see any stockpiling and actually made a mental note of all the empty parking spaces.
Update for folks around Springfield:
Bloomington?! That’s a hike? I’m from MKE and lived in Schaumburg. Then again I live in Ann Arbor and was going to take delivery in Austin to speed things up. The wait is killing me. Thought about buying one in inventory in CA.
