Impact on delivery timeline when ordering 3rd row option?

[tom.t.walker]

Friend ordered a Model Y with 3rd row option (8/28/2023). He's transfering FSD, so has to take delivery prior to 10/1. Order says delivery Aug or Sept., but not sure how trustworth that estimate is. Does anyone know how Tesla batches their production between 2 row and 3 row trims? Are they able to produce them at the same time, or do they work on 2 row for weeks, then 3 row for days, then back to 2 row for weeks, etc. Or something like that?

3rd row option takes at least a month. I ordered on 11th and still waiting.

@mrkalpakkam -- what is your configuration (in addition to 3rd row). and was it Model Y or Model X? My friend's is:

• Model Y
• Long range dual motor
• 19" wheels
• Black interior
• White paint
• 3rd row option (7 seat)

After I posted the question, he got a VIN w/ above configuration assigned to him. He's taking delivery tomorrow (Friday). So it took less than a week. The manufacture date is 2 weeks ago. It wasn't an "inventory car" here in Denver, but it recently rolled off the line in Fremont. It may be your configuration is less common?

I got my vin today as well. May be they just completed a batch of third row cars. Delivery in 2 weeks though. Mine is MYLR Blue - White interior, tow, 3rd row and 19" wheels
