Congrats! Hopefully you'll see a VIN in the next couple of weeks.

I just got my first EDD shift since the initial window.
Upgraded 3/10 MYLR order to MYP on 4/4
MSM/black, no tow, no FSD
EDD1: May 27-Jul 1
EDD2 (4/30): May 30-Jun 27
North Houston pickup

FWIW my 2/27 M3LR order also saw its first EDD shift this week into a two-week window, so fingers crossed Houston deliveries are moving in the right direction!

New poster here. If I was able to have a signature (think I need to post a bit first), it would look like this:

MYP/MSM/White interior/Tow/FSD
OD: 4/30 EDD: 6/15-7/20

Will pick up at North Houston Service Center.

The EDD was different when I first ordered. I can't recall what it was but it wasn't much different and it changed to the above within a few days and hasn't moved since.

I currently drive a 2020 Model X LR+. I am basically doing a side/down grade to the Y. It looks like I can at least get my money back on the X (checked with various buyers and they were all slightly above what I paid for it). So I figured I drove the X for free for 2.5 years and get a new car with new warranty etc. I don't need the falcon wing doors but I am slightly worried about the ride quality in the Y compared to the X. I did test drive one but the roads were pretty good on the route I took so not a good comparison.

Welcome. Did you take a test drive at the Woodlands store? I ask because that is the location I used. For test driving the 2022 Y. It was a smooth ride for me. It wasn’t like I was driving through the Medical Center or west Houston. So I couldn’t notice a harsh ride. I will be picking up from the North Houston location too. I’ve been told. I just don’t know when. No Vin. EDD of 5/14-5/28.
Good luck.

I did the test drive at the Galleria store. The web site wouldn't let me schedule it there (I live near downtown). I guess somebody picked up on me trying to schedule a drive so they sent me a text asking me what I wanted to drive. I told them a Model Y and they said they did have just one a the Galleria but I only had a couple of days as they would probably sell it. I managed to get there prior to it being sold. Roads around the Galleria are actually pretty good. My neighborhood not so much.

Newbie poster but I will be getting my MY in the next 2 weeks. My SA set me up for home delivery. Anyone know of any reasons to retrieve the car at the service center as opposed to home? Any checklists out there to look out for any issues?
