It'll be interes

It'll be interesting to see if or how "late order changes" affect EDDs.

Tesla has a finite number of "build slots" which already filled up for the quarter a few weeks ago.

Using my order as an example, I recently changed from 19" to 20" and added a tow hitch just days ahead of my earliest EDD.

I see a number of possibilities:

1. Tesla could build my original configuration, but instead of it going to me, it'll go to the next person in line (or inventory). In this case, my new configuration would have to go to an April-June build slot.
2. Tesla could build my new configuration on the same day that my original configuration was scheduled to be built, but with different wheels and a tow hitch. In this case, the change might not affect my delivery date at all.
3. Tesla could cancel my build and move all orders one vehicle closer. This would have the same effect as 1.
4. Similar to 1, someone else who already ordered a Model Y in my new configuration could edit their order (for example, a person who ordered a white, 20", tow may change to a MYP) and Tesla could reassign their build to me and I would inherit their EDD (which could be later, the same, or even earlier than the EDD of my original configuration). In this case, the other buyer who edited their order may then have to wait for an April-June build slot.

Keep in mind I never had a VIN, so the vehicle hasn't been built yet.

Regardless, I'm not the only person to edit an order - I'm sure there are many others making this a moving target for Tesla as well.

It's no surprise that some buyers are hit with huge delays while some seem to skip ahead of others!
On the surface it seems changing out interchangeable parts such as 19s for 20s or adding a tow would have a material effect on the EDD. Unless Tesla just won't do that within the same batch in order to maintain line speed. Or there is unequal demand for and/or supply of the parts in question.

I hope this change works out in your favor. I have thought of changing to 20s. But I feel that I should have done so weeks ago when I changed my order from white to black interior.

EDD updated to 3/5-3/19. I am almost positive they are prioritizing delivery to folks who live further from factories. I live in Austin and have had my EDD pushed back since 2/10 lol. Still holding on to the 52,990 MSRP, ill be patient.
We (in Phoenix, AZ) are approximately 800 miles from Fremont and 1000 miles from Austin. I guess that would put us relatively close to the factories. No man's land?

This is a crap shoot. If one happens to pop into inventory at your location that matches your new spec, then you get it faster, could make no significant difference to what would have been your actual delivery date, or could push you out to Q2. We’ve seen it all and every day is different.

I agree -- just too many dynamic factors to predict.

This may be a bad analogy, but I'm feeling the same as when I somehow chose the wrong check out line in the grocery store. Or doing something silly like giving up my spot in line to get in another only to see the next three people who got in my original line get through check out before I do. Yep, that's happened to me more than I care to recall.

Who knows. Maybe mine was a cancellation. MSM is a rare site to see on the streets down here in south Florida. Most people seem to like white and blue or have the car wrapped with other colors.

You had locked in a good price, so maybe just wait and see since you already paid that non refundable $250.

This is another good example of how Tesla chooses to prioritize.
