Current Delivery Times

[samori01]

Hi all, i'm coming up on another EDD window and im slowly losing hope haha. Heres my config and details:

MYLR, White/White, 20s, No tow, No FSD.
Order date: 8/21
Current EDD window: December 3rd - December 17th.

The SA I spoke to said that i'm "soft matched" to a car and gave me 11/24 as a date. I'm not sure what it exactly means though.

Is that your SA or just someone you got on the phone?

I’ve seen several comments on this site saying that $8K doesn’t mean a lot to high earners, but I don’t think this is true. People who make a lot are often savvy on their taxes and an $8K credit is hard to turn down unless you are uberrich. Maintaining wealth requires financial acumen, and tossing aside $8K is the opposite. I have personally observed wealthy colleagues drive a few extra miles to a cheaper gas station, so believe these behaviors are ingrained whether it is a few dollars or a few thousand.

I suppose I understand the argument that if you really need the car now that the $8K might not be worth it. But even then, one could temporarily rent on Turo or take over someone’s lease for a few months and still wind up ahead. Plus, ordering a car from Tesla requires a certain amount of flexibility since these cars could arrive next month or next year.

I know everyone’s situation is unique so I’m not trying to be judgmental here. I’m just curious what is motivating people.

You may also have a lot more faith in the government than others. Your statement that it’s imminent is where I gleaned that from. I, for one, do not have the same faith. 8k is 8k and nothing to “throw away” but we couldn’t get agreement on giving aid to 911 first responders, I won’t trust it until the first person actually gets the tax benefit.

You will love your car!!!

Over 7 hours I go downstairs the “visit” the car 5+ times. i thought maybe I’ll get better photos of the dent…..I can’t find it. Use phone flashlight, can’t find it. Go back upstairs for headlight, look again, can’t find it. Now I’m embarrassed that I showed it to them. I’ll take it out to parking lot in sunlight today and look again. So whatever happens, I can probably live with it since I can’t even find it again.

I’m working this weekend, get called to work at 1am. 3rd drive, I get on beltway, floor it a couple of times, give myself whiplash very easy to speed in this car.
I pre-warm the car before I leave work. Get home with perma-grin on face.

The car is a joy to drive. I was nervous about driving it earlier this week, that’s mostly gone.
oh….I’m one pedal driving 90% of the time.

Love My Tesla!!!
jeez..post is long, so sorry. I’m done. Sitting in solidarity with all waiting for your MYs.

You are shirking on your duties as a member of this forum. You have failed to pay the picture tax!!!
We will now require one extra picture than you originally were going to provide.


Also the screams of joy comment made me actually LOL

Did you have to call to get the next day check? Or they just email you saying it’ll be next day? I need to know to decide delivery date

It was all done over the phone. Pretty painless.

They said they can't send me the check, but can send me a copy over the check overnight that I then present to TEsla. Did you have this experience too?

I don't understand what the malfunction is, but our trade-in value keeps getting messed up. Its up, it's down, it includes a loan balance payoff, it doesn't, it magically went to the Model S (??) then back to the 3...

They don't have much time left to get it right before we attempt to pay for the car.

Y’all.

Gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I had them send the check to me. No issues or questions asked. The check was made out to Tesla of course.

Just received this email from Tesla. Looks like what the guy said on the phone is accurate, they will cancel orders even if they are currently on hold, if it passes a certain amount of time. By my count, that amount of time looks to be exactly seven months. Tesla clearly does not want people to delay their orders in perpetuity, which makes 100% sense from a business standpoint, and I do not blame them for it.

I just blame Tesla for everything else

Scheduled delivery date next week

 

[Woggon]

yes, $180 over 6 months. I have never received a ticket in 40 years, nor any claims, do defensive driving course, have a monitoring device in car. My credit rating is also good and I think credit scores also impact insurance premiums. For me the new premium is $40 more than my current insurance for a car costing the same amount.

A lot of it also comes down to where you live. I have many of the same attributes. My insurance was similarly priced when I lived in Vermont - which has low population density. I moved to the greater Milwaukee area in 2020 and our auto rates doubled with the same insurer.

Another update:

Called and spoke to a Tesla rep on the phone, explained to the rep my situation, and he removed the 8 December auto-cancel rule on my order. He was very nice about it. He just needed me to document it to his supervisor by replying to the email saying something to the effect of "yes I'm real, I'm still interested, please don't cancel order".

Also, I asked why with a mid-Jan to mid-Feb EDD I received 7SAYGDEE3NF310973 in November 2021, and when I should release my current hold to target a March delivery, and he honestly said no one knows why Tesla pushed me to the front of the queue. Also, there's no real way to time it, unfortunately. All he knows is that a brand new order of my configuration yields an October 2022 delivery estimate, but released-hold orders don't follow the same rules as brand new, and can get shorter wait times.

Hope this helps others in similar situations or just curious. FYI this is the most "on-topic" I've been on this thread in quite some time. Thread police rejoice!

Just to clarify, the check goes directly to Tesla, right? This is my first time financing a car so pretty unfamiliar with this process!

If you are using Tesla partners, they will send the funds to Tesla. You need to take care of the remainder of it.

Man, doing a 24 hour turn-around delivery is stressful getting everything in place if you're taking out a loan

 

[Nomogaz]

I received a great text message today from Tesla. “Congratulations, it’s your turn to schedule you Model Y for delivery.”

My appointment is next Monday. I am thankful the wait is almost over.

Happy Thanksgiving to my companions on the journey. Inner peace to you all.

By the distortion of the reflection of the house's eaves in your hood, it looks like you may have the same dent in your hood as the Model Y I took delivery of today. It's just to the left of the Tesla logo.

You are correct; where you live has a huge impact on premiums. In much of Northern Minneapolis, reports of car jacking and catalytic converter being stolen in the night is a daily affair. But in the leafy suburbs and housing associations with 3 car garage homes and security systems (plus a highly responsive police department) property crime is very low and within the state car insurance premiums can vary dramatically. Milwaukee has seen issues for some time now.
