Current Delivery Times

[rjack1282]

I’m in the camp that says even if you have the cash to buy outright, with the current low interest rates it makes no sense to do so. You can easily invest that cash into almost anything smart and make a higher rate of return than what you pay in interest. Your car in the short term at least with current demand will appreciate higher than that rate too. Just something to think about.

After exploring various financing options I've decided to pay cash, initially. May refinance with DCU @ 1.25%, or invest the $2500 savings, by not financing, in PPF, ceramics, and other accessories. The cash is from the sidelines, relatively dormant, earmarked not to invest, which makes the Tesla a good use of funds. Would have to pay it off in monthly installments anyway, at a higher rate, which is a big PITA! And don't particularly like a bank's name on my ride's titl

I can swear it's a red day today haha.
@SLPYTME you are two days after me in OD. You and I, might get our cars at the same time.

 

[Ayaz]

Lol i saw your post earlier but since you mentioned people waiting for VIN for Red, i didn't include myself in. Haha but yes, glad to be part of the TeamRed.

That would all depend on how much cash you have and the size of your investments. I keep cash on the sidelines as a strategy, keeping my powder dry to maintain a reserve when markets correct.

Hi
Anyone who had recently delivered MY - do you have a humming noise as described here?

Model Y makes hum noise all the time

I’m hoping this resolves the noise issue your having. I have a 2020 model 3 and it doesn’t make this noise. I ordered a model Y in July and I’m hoping it doesn’t make this noise when it finally arrives. The one I test drove in July was completely quiet. That was the first thing I noticed and...

teslamotorsclub.com

We had this issue and I commented on that forum too but it has subsided now. Someone did say that the sound goes away and after about a couple weeks, it’s much better.
It looks like with the car being new, it takes some calibration for the battery cooler and that’s the noise. It was pretty loud the first few days and it got quieter. It still comes on now but doesn’t stay on long and is much more subtle.

This is not the case for business purchases. The tax write off is better than any possible stock investment.

We are coming out the woodwork today, lol! Here’s to hoping it will only be a few more short weeks. I’ve been sitting at my EDD for the last 3 weeks or so.

A day within my EDD of 10/8-10/27, it changed to 10/21-11/17. It sucks. When I placed my order it was Oct. All I can do now is wait.

I have been sharing my wife’s car when she works from home. Which is only 2 days a week. I have been wfh for a few years already. It’s been a hassle walking my daughter to her after school activities. My XC90 lease ended early June and was cross shopping a couple different makes. It was my fault to wait until my lease ended to start shopping. Inventory was dwindling. By the time I decided on the MY, it was pushed out to Oct from Sept.

Once a week I do think about buying a Q7 or a X5. But electric is the future and Tesla is the way to go, for now. The BMW iX looks enticing but no frunk? The “hood” doesn’t even open.

Q7 or X5 are a lot bigger than a Y… maybe you need an X?

In short, to improve the quarterly earnings report metrics.

Same reason why a runner speeds up at the home stretch leading to the finish line, or a college student crams the night before an exam. I don’t think there’s a clear logical reason for it, just a fact of life in the car business when it’s run by irrational humans. Legacy carmakers do this too, by pushing their dealers to run incentives and cut better deals at the end of month, to try to hit their numbers. Dealers typically also do this at the end of the year as well. If we were all logical, then yes, everyone would push as hard on day 1 as they would on day 90. I’m sure if vehicle production + logistics were entirely automated, it’d be running at 100% from 1am the first day of the quarter through 11:59pm of the last, and delivery numbers would be consistent every day.

Runner speeding up metaphor doesn’t work, unless you pretend (s)he is starting the next race (quarter) immediately after crossing the finish line.

Student cramming metaphor doesn’t work, unless you pretend s(he) is taking the exact same class (quarter) again, and again, and again.

I think the EOQ craziness is merely a “tradition” that doesn’t make sense anymore. The EOQ rush just has a commensurate negative impact on the next quarter.

If you think of it more that there is periodic deadline it works. Sure, the mature thing to do in this case is to spread the work evenly over the course of the deadline (quarter), but human nature (or supply chains) aren't always aligned with this schedule. Or maybe it works better if you liken Tesla to the poor schlub who finds themselves taking out payday loans and can't seem to break out of the cycle, their paycheck goes to pay off the last loan and then they need to take out a new loan to get them through to payday.

Were you sad to see the XC90 go? Or glad to be rid of it? I know you said it's a hassle walking your daughter to afterschool activities, but I actually think that is so sweet!

 

[PatrickTM]

Question for anyone who's put their order on hold. I called to do that three days ago and everything seemed fine, but in my account I'm still seeing an EDD of 17 Oct - 4 Nov. Is that normal or should I be seeing an indication somewhere that I'm on hold?

It should definitely say "your order is on hold". And everything besides the order number and your configuration pretty much disappears.

I am losing track here now......

Don’t give up… we are with you…

What happened after I received VIN on 10/05:

10/05 -

Applied for insurance and uploaded the proof. The ‘Review’ button was still gray. Called Tesla just to check if the insurance copy was accepted, SA confirmed and advised to wait for a message/e-mail about uploading final odometer picture since I have chosen to trade in. In few minutes, I received e-mail, I had the picture ready, replied with attachment. SA had also advised me to wait for a message/e-mail from trade-in department after e-mailing the odometer picture.

10/06 -

I received message at 3:40 pm followed by an e-mail. As per the message I was about to receive a FedEX packet with trade-in documents, tracking number was there in the message. The message mentioned about signing the trade-in documents and sharing photo copies over e-mail first for them to review and accept before returning the package.

10/07 -

At 10:30 AM, received message and e-mail - ‘Congratulations, it's your turn to schedule your Model Y for delivery’.

I was given just the home delivery option on 15,16 or 17th October. Texas ? Trade-In ? SC is packed ? No idea why I am not given pickup at SC option, I am about 3 miles away from nearest SC. Well, I had no choice, selected 15th morning 9:00 AM, home delivery.

Later in the day received FedEx package. In the cover letter, they had requested for signed original title, I was not sure about it, so asked them to confirm in the e-mail that I had to send with photo copies of signed documents attached for them to review. Well, they demanded for it. I included the original title along with all signed documents in the return package and shipped it ( return shipping label was part of the package).

‘Next Steps’ on the account page finally looks like this:

My delivery got scheduled for Oct 19. Just got a text an hour ago. Not sure if yours scheduled yet. I am guessing it would be somewhere around 14 for you?

Yes scheduled, 10/15.

 

[Just4Dave]

So EDD was pushed back for 3rd time yesterday and then today Tesla runs my credit…. I called my SA thinking this has to be a good sign. My SA says, no… not necessarily. At least there is movement.

Q7 or X5 are a lot bigger than a Y… maybe you need an X?

X3? Looks smaller compared to a MY based on my limited test drives of the MY, Q7, X5. Only sat in the X3.

There’s really no electric SUV comparable in size to the Q7 or X5. I watched a review where the MX seems more cramped in certain seats compared to the MY. I believe a lot of MY owners or potential owners cross shopped the X5, Q7, XC90.
