Illinois Waiting Room

[rescueswimmer]

Picked up ours yesterday Bloomington. Austin build 121XX white on black 19" New Door trim panels. Non Matrix, Non magnetic center console, Trunk Tray. I would give it a B on Fit and finish. Interior was flawless, and I went over it looking for grease blems etc. Now the Bad. Frunk has 2 dents on each side of the T logo (guess mongo was closing it) Drivers side doors need to be slightly adjusted pulled in on the body tightly. Drivers side window makes a clunking sound when going down. Rear hatch is badly misaligned on the drivers side. Glass sticks up a good bit. (also has new hatch hinges apparently changed recently) Passengers side front window the rubber trim is jacked and pops out every time you open the door. Also this is the only door on the Car that does not close normally you have to slam the mf to get it shut. Lastly 2 paint issues one on the A pillar (terrible QC on letting that go) and one on the door (Which I probably will live with) Overall from what I have seen in the past and horror stories. We took delivery they noted everything in the we owe portion of the delivery. Hopefully they make good on their end.

A Twitter post (not mine) claims this is a rail yard in Chicago. Supposedly deliveries from Austin. Claims similar amounts daily.

Well, I'll be happy with a November delivery; that way I don't have to pay the $150 registration for my trade in - expires Dec 22 and I won't need to get it emission tested. Quick question though...will Tesla qualify for the federal rebate or not...I'm reading some stuff that they won't because batteries are not made locally....it's so confusing

Will it qualify? I have no idea, and I've probably read similar discussions and views from authors I don't exactly always trust on the net. I am real sure that if it does, it will have to be a 2023 delivery. Mine is a December (est.) car, so I'm kinda on the edge with this as well.

Yep. It is going to be 2023 deliveries but the battery from what I understand needs to be at least 50% sourced from the US otherwise it won't qualify which is interesting seeing that I think (and I could be wrong) most manufacturer source battery chemicals from all over the world. But this is a topic that's been discussed over and over already.

The IRA Act also includes many other benefits. Most stories are focusing on cars, cars, cars. Need to upgrade your home power from 100 amp to 200 amp? Tax credit. I think there's also solar upgrades, other utility upgrades and appliance credits included. So if we don't get the credit on the Tesla, we may very well benefit from some other upgrade in a future year. One nit is that you can't take advantage of more than one credit/upgrade per year. That's good, because it is a tax credit, and too many people have only so much wiggle room against taxes owed/paid. Spreading it out allows more possible usage of the investment act. Note: This is a USA only.

My 14 day window got delayed to another 14 day, and this morning that got delayed to another 14 day window. Was hoping to see a VIN today and got smacked with the new window.
Old: 9/28 - 10/12
New:

At least they overlap(?)

Congrats!

But 11 months . You have the patience of a saint. I have the same build but ordered 4 months later and EDD in 3 weeks….

What’s the chance I’m going to be pushed back

I have friends who ordered same build as me in Red 6 months after me, EDD is only a month out from mine. So probably the same odds as anyone else getting delayed

Thanks! Yeah I feel like I ordered at the exact wrong time as far as longest possible delivery date. Hopefully Austin starts cranking so you won't get pushed!

Just called Schaumburg. They said they didn't have a Blue MYLR 7. However they do have a Red MYLR 7 with black interior and 20" wheels.

Dang that's crazy, I did really see it . The SA there showed it to me in the lot. It looked great. It was a Fremont build F551.. If anyone else calls/goes there I'm looking for a MYLR Blue/White !! Nov 2021 order here

 

[KB11]

Got the $200 credit today for the mobile charger.

 

[voom500]

I'm pushed back again. Oct 22 - Nov 5

 

[Bartholomew]

I'm still showing October 19 - November 16 for delivery of my Blue/White/5 seats/19"/No Tow/No FSD ordered on 3/6/2022. Crazy that you have been waiting 5 months longer and only have a delivery date one week sooner.

I was contacted by Tesla again yesterday about my trade in. They claimed my wife's drivers license photo wasn't legible.
