Discussion: Model Y General Waiting room for orders placed After January 2023

[erktrek]

Same OD, NJ Delivery for MYLR.
EDD 3/17 - 3/31
No Vin yet

These EDD ranges are bizarre. The ones that seem consistent with a larger gap like Apr 15 - May 31 seem like quarterly production placeholders and subject to change. Narrower windows seem better especially the ones less than a week. Also the start dates for the EDDs seem to vary from order to order - maybe based on an offset by the OD and predicted fulfillment? My OD was 01/28 and my start of EDD is now Mar 19th. No VIN.

I still haven't received the message asking me to set up a delivery appointment, but my EDD did expand a bit today. Was 3/29-3/31 and changed to 3/23-3/31. Gives a little more hope that I can take delivery by the end of the month.

You have the tow hitch and that may be helping you. Cannot believe one day sooner and your EDD is the next couple of weeks and mine is late April at the earliest.

Interesting that the tow hitch may be helping; hoping that your EDD updates to be by the end of March as well.

 

[LetsGoElectric]

Yes, fingers crossed. Do they have that many tow hitches sitting around? LOL! I have no need or want for a tow hitch.

The one guy above does not appear to have a tow hitch so there is hope right?

Who knew the tow hitch was a "premium" feature that might get me bumped up.

May 19 or March 19?

May 19 or March 19?

Oops you're right March 19!!!! Corrected - thanks.

This is ridiculous. There are several cars in inventory that are $250 and $500 more than my original order. They will not budge. In the meantime I've been waiting since Jan 16. This is critical as that amount puts me over the $3500 state rebate limit. So if I wait, I (likely) lose the federal credit (or some portion). If I choose one of these options I lose the state rebate. And they won't budge for $250. (texted and or talked to 3 SA's) Are you kidding me! Arghhh!! Sorry had to vent.....

This is a clear case that we, as consumers, had leverage in Jan when they needed sales. Now that they have demand they have the leverage!

Can anyone with recent Austin builds confirm if it came with matrix lights? Another poster in the other thread got an Austin build with matrix. Would be great if Austin switched over to matrix going forward.

I don’t understand why they budge on such things, I mean they have to sell you a car at the old price point at some point

Picked up! Springfield NJ. Really busy there and overflowing with cars pending pick up. Keep the faith for those still waiting! Must have been 10-15 other folks picking up cars in the afternoon. Don't these people work? LOL.

Minor variances in panel gaps. I'm looking at my BMW and I can't say Tesla is leading the pack compared to other major production built cars, but gaps are small enough to be ok. It really depends upon your "tolerance." No paint or scratches that we could see. SAs there said 100Miles or 7 Days to report.

So far pretty happy. Its like getting my first car type of excitement which I have not had in a while . . .

Congratulations! Same config, pickup location and date (probably time as well) but white interior. Looks like Tesla is not fond of white interior. Still April for me.

That's what I'm hoping for. It's been many, many years since I actually got excited about buying a new vehicle. I've averaged trading one gasoline-powered automobile for another about every year over the last three decades. I'm now immune to the "new car smell" (either because mine still smell new when I trade them in and/or because all the outgassing has fried my olfactory nerves) and, quite frankly, I'm bored with gasoline engines (well - maybe not with my Miata). Riding a Onewheel and an electric scooter really got me excited about an EV and Tesla is so different than any other car company that they've captured my attention.

Some trends I have inferred from this forum, reddit, accelerated delivery, and Tesla available inventory. Of course, it's just my inference as always, and I could be wrong. However, I did do a detailed study:

1. Almost all zip codes I've lived in pops up multiple demo vehicles in available inventory. Tesla is trying to get rid of their demo vehicles at discounted prices during quarter end.
2. Certain production lines are highly active currently, namely ones with tow, 7 seaters, black interiors etc.
3. The standard edition (white with black) was getting deliveries left, right and center up until last week. Now, they seem to be pushed out to April-May (especially ODs).
4. White interiors are facing a supply dearth at the moment. Several April-May EDD EDD pushes have white interiors.
5. People closer to the factory, especially bay area is getting more deliveries (quite understandably). I noticed late Feb and very early March orders getting VINs for my exact configuration.
6. The performance edition continues to get preference over the MYLR. No decline in trend there. There were some who met with their SAs and they certified that Tesla is trying to get as many MYPs out before EOQ.
7. Gemini wheels are back. Upgrades to 20 inch wheels helped people to cut in line last month. It no longer seems to be the case now. Production lines seemed to have evened out for both.

Feel free to add or correct.

Finally got a delivery appointment on 3/27. I was hoping a little sooner, but fortunately I don’t fly out of town until that evening. It kinda sucks that I was only given one day to choose from.

It’s getting closer, yet seems further away now, lol.

As you get closer to the date, text and see if you can pick up earlier. I was only given one date (3/20), but i texted them a couple days after initial scheduling, and they said it was showing up earlier than expected, so they moved me to tomorrow (3/18). I think their intent is to keep them on the lot a minimal amount of time.

 

[TheSoleLender]

Does anyone know if the new Model Y uses the copper/hair pin induction motor?

 

[Andrometer4]

One can select to "Pay" within 48 hours of your delivery date. I know this does not specifically answer your question. I pick up our car tomorrow. I will ask and try to remember to get back to you.

I have always paid at delivery after I inspect. The only way to fly :}
