Just don’t understand how Tesla thinks this is a good business model! Be really curious who and how they came up with these estimates! I ordered my MYLR at the beginning of Oct 2021. I’m on change number 8. Sure there will be more changes.

That’s why it is estimated. It’s a guess based on current day figures and analysis. It’s annoying to see it and it would be easier to see due in March 2022 as opposed to some range that adjusts frequently.

Ordered my white MYLR on 1/15/22 for east coast delivery, and received a November estimated delivery date (EDD). About a week later, it changed to 6/5/22 - 7/3/22 delivery range. Today, it changed again to December. I’ve read when you receive an EDD that doesn’t give a specific date range, it’s just a placeholder.

156 days from order to delivery, 154 days from profile completion to delivery, 10 EDD changes. Longest time between EDD changes 65 days.
Mine got changed more than 10x and I ordered a MYP white/black and this was on 10/31/21

I am curious. Is there any other manufacturer that manages build to order process any better? Sure the EDD changes are frustrating and Tesla should work on making it more predictable but the alternative of no solid info for months would be even more frustrating.

but for real.. i have friends who have placed orders in the past and it is very interactive during the whole build process including shipment details ( when its on a ship from germany to state side)

It's a lot easier when just a small percentage of your orders are build to order. You can always prioritize those orders to make sure they are delivered when estimated. Also, current environment with supply shortages is nothing like how it was "in the past".BMW

This is completely different than ordering a car that has 6+ months of back orders. I have ordered a car in the past that was in high demand and the tesla way is WAY better. Not even close.

My in-laws just had a Mach-E come in. Car was supposedly built early October, was supposed to arrive late November, then as far as we knew it ended up sitting in a lot at the factory for a couple of months waiting for a chip. Finally shipped late December but there was no information besides the dealer saying that it was waiting on a chip. No EDD or anything until it shipped (which was telling us it’d be 2 months to get here - ended up being about 7 weeks).
So, yeah, not unique to Tesla. They just change dates as they get more information, rather than leave you completely in the dark.
