It is unlikely that you will be getting a general check call. Some have fabulous SAs, some have terrible ones, and it seems most don't have one at all. @Nrvna76 was probably asking because many who recently ordered don't know what SAs can and cannot do, and also may not understand how unpredictable EDD changes are. It seemed @Nrvna76 was trying to save you some trouble, if that was what your question was pertaining to. Rudeness is rarely necessary.
Mine has remained the same as well (and I am hoping continues that way), but there have been some drastic changes since right before the announcement (one that comes to mind, a November to May EDD change) so one can understand where the thought process comes from.
Sure, but to be fair never assume someone's level of knowledge. That too is rude and rarely necessary.
Dude, come on. The Y and the 3 share 75% of their parts. If there are parts shortages that effect both models who's order do you think they'll prioritize? Tesla already admitted in their earnings call that they aren't even close to running at capacity. Logic dictates that the Hertz order will very much impact Model Y orders.
Tesla Model Y To Share ~76% Of Parts With Model 3, Be Built At Gigafactories - CleanTechnica
On its Q4 2018 earnings call last night, Tesla confirmed that the Model Y will be the first vehicle it will build at its Gigafactory 1 in Sparks, Nevada. In parallel, it plans to build the crossover (CUV) at its new Gigafactory 3 in Shanghai, China.cleantechnica.com
That's Your logic and maybe you are right. But knowing Tesla they would rather sell the highest margin vehicles first. In a situation where they are low on a shared part I am not sure why they would prioritize the much lower margin vehicle. Logic dictates the model Y would get priority if a shared part was running short.
Neither of us know what they would do. At the end of the day not sure why anyone would be getting work up over it. The car is in high demand and it will take time...sit back and relax in the meantime.

OD 9/1 MYLR MSM 20” White int EDD 12/2 2:00
Haha, man, internet snark is the real deal huh?
I was asking because the EDD shifts all over the place and I'm not sure you were aware of that. It's crappy that Tesla does business that way but it's a reality. Hope somebody else gives you better answers!

No, they never have. Originally they just ghosted me and sent to the back of the line. When pressed for an answer they just shrugged their shoulders.

It's that casual disrespect that infuriates me and keeps me upset, tbh. The last two weeks of September was all getting ready for that delivery on the last few days of the quarter. Even more texts came telling to be prepared for delivery. And then.... nothing. VIN disappeared. No apology. No email explaining next steps. NOTHING. And then.... they sent me to back to the queue with a 28-day delivery window.
I got back on here because I want to upgrade from my M3 to a MYP. Ordered a red/black, tow yesterday.
I honestly feel bad for the Tesla employees who have to deal with some of you.
You'll get your cars... step away from the computer and try to enjoy life. You're barely going to remember this wait period after you take delivery.

Late 2021 Blue on White MYLR 5 w/ tow
My best guess is that cars that get shipped to a destination and someone cancels / rejects the car last minute end up in inventory. I'm not sure that cars that are already loaded on a truck automatically get matched to another buyer at that point, though I would hope that if someone who had an identical config at the same delivery center would get the VIN. On the other hand, with the most recent price change, most of us that have orders placed at this point will pay less than someone who purchases an inventory car today, and that benefits Tesla, and while not fair or customer pleasing I can see why they might do it.

I have every damn right to be upset with the way Tesla treated me recently!
Thanks! Feeling guilty after what @Starway2001 is going through, but hopefully this one sticks. New delivery is Nov 7-13.

Yes, they sure do offer loaners but there's always a caveat that they can't guarantee availability. My last loaner was a P100D Mode S but was programmed to chill mode anyway so no fun there. I've also recently done the Lyft credit thing. Once upon a time they'd drive a loaner to you, take your car back, and return it to you at a location of your choosing (work, home.) That was the bees knees.
$1k seems like a ton to me because it's after multiple $600 door handles, a four-figure MCU failure, and a few other things. All while still paying for the dang thing. But you're right I've never owned a German or luxury car of any sort. I've only had two beaters, plus two newish cars that I didn't keep much past warranty, before Tesla. Mad props to the Ford ZX2 with reconstruction title that I paid $2k for. It had 120k miles on it and I put on another 10k only ever spending money on a single cabin lightbulb during my ownership.
Yeah I absolutely feel the same way just having a close EDD and I really haven't waited long, comparatively. There are plenty of people getting jerked around with no info or communication. I'm trying to restrain my excitement in light of that. Also, without warning, it could reset to April just because.
