Custom Order / In stock

[ThePugShinobi]

Hello all,

I just placed an order for a new Model S, to be delivered to the center closest to me between Jan-March.

However, I see that the exact same build I ordered is actually in inventory at the second closest location to me, which is only about an additional 20-30 minutes away from the location I was assigned (this is within the same state).

Do you think that Tesla will automatically allocate me that car, or should I call and ask to transfer my deposit to the “in-stock” vehicle? I personally think it makes more logistical sense for their system to match me to the already in-stock exact build near me, but I’m not sure exactly what their philosophy is for this. Thoughts?

You should call them as it can get matched to someone else who ordered it before you

Call them and ask about it. You will probably get the car if it hasn't already been assigned, and quicker.

Find out when the build date was.

You can actually change your order to accept the available car. I was in the same boat as you, but I realized that the available vehicle doesn't have the latest minor revisions which includes the upgraded brake calipers. Unless you care for these minor updates, I believe it's safe to take possession of the available car.

suyoungman - You are correct. That's exactly why I recommended the OP find out when the build date was. From there you can ascertain/ask if it has the latest build (e.g. the caliper brakes, matrix lights).
