For those that have taken delivery, can you confirm Homelink? If not, could you have it added at delivery?

Why would they do that? Why not tack on the minimal amount that it costs since most will use it. That's really shortsighted and will require all Y owners who want it to visit a SC. That's more backlogs at the SC.
When I had ordered mine, it listed that it was included. I also wish that I had a screen shot...My memory is not as good as it used to be but I remember back in January this year I thought I saw the home link was in the premium interior descriptions.
I wish I had done a screen print of that page.
Care to share those statistics? I'd sure love to see them. It's hard for me to believe that the average person buying a Tesla, usually someone who's far more tech-savvy than the average guy, wouldn't know those buttons existed or be curious as to what they do. I'm sure the average Tesla owner would know to hook up a Home Link. It's certainly far more convenient & neater to use than a 'clicker' stuck on a visor. Sounds like you're doing nothing more than making excuses for what is obviously nothing more than a cost cutting action.In fact, the opposite is true. Tesla was looking to cut costs months back and realized that the vast majority of Model 3 owners never connected HomeLink, opting to use their standard clicker instead. Many likely don't even know it exists.
Thus, it became an obvious target for Tesla to cut in the crusade to cut costs. Most people will not ever think to purchase HL as an upgrade and have it installed. They'll simply use the standard clicker and move on with life.

6 respondents does not a scientifically valid study make. The bottom line is you don’t care and that’s what drives your responses. A $50,000 car without home link is ridiculous IMO.I just texted 6 people I know with Model 3s if they have it hooked up.
These are tech savvy, 27-35, college educated individuals. Take it for what you will.
- 3/6 have it hooked up.
- 1/6 didn’t know it existed.
- 1/6 told me he can’t get it to work with his garage door for whatever reason and gave up.
- 1/6 basically said “meh.” He didn’t know you could set it to automatically open the door based on location.
Even if the data shows that everyone uses it and loves it, I’d still be OK with Tesla cutting it if it contributes to the greater good of their finances/the mission.
Adding $300 to the cost of the Y would be near invisible. Oh well, it is what it is.You can still get it, but, it costs $300 because it needs hardware and programming.
