But it is in the sense that Tesla has a very different "model year" framework than every other car manufacturer out there. If they were employing the "waterfall" approach with a bunch of changes at a certain time of year every year then ok. But they don't. They are nimble opting for the "agile" approach. As soon as you say "great I got the chip" you are probably missing something that will come the next month, or the next, or the next, ad infinitum. I mean people are going to feel the way they feel and nothing anyone can do about that. That said, I do think it's unreasonable when it comes to Tesla.

The funny thing is that while Tesla/Elon say they don't do a model year framework and simply implement new things as needed, they have been seemingly going that route by introducing a bunch of new features in the first ~3 months of a new model year. They did it with the 2021 model year and now the same with the 2022 model year. I don't remember the 2020 model year new features, if any.
It would be much more "stomachable" in my opinion if they really did just implement things year round.

The next best thing is always around the corner. No point in sweating over it. Get your car and enjoy it. Tomorrow is never guaranteed.
That said, I understand the frustration and wish Tesla would do things differently. Then again, I don't want them going the standard dealership model either.
Edit: Get your car when "You" feel its the right time and enjoy it.

You never know where you will be after removing your hold. My OD was 10/30. Removed hold on 12/30. My EDD is 2/5 - 3/5. All of my pre-delivery tasks have been completed.

No updates from my end though I was expecting some movement after I got the trade-in text message twice this week.
I also checked the page source but no VIN, yet.

Same location and same order date... Still waiting on the VIN. The only difference is the color (RED)... Is the delay something to do with the paint? I see a lot of people who ordered after me and are taking delivery already.
I never put mine on hold.

From what I have seen here, it looks like BLUE and RED can be delayedSame location and same order date... Still waiting on the VIN. The only difference is the color (RED)... Is the delay something to do with the paint? I see a lot of people who ordered after me and are taking delivery already.

I see, quite a delay then
Only silver lining, you might get the new AMD chip and 12V battery with this delay.

An advisor just sent me an email this morning telling me my car rolled off the production line today. Your EDD seems more related to your configured options and location than when your hold came off.
I ordered 10/28 and removed hold on 12/30. My EDD was 2/6 - 3/6 and got pushed back to 3/5 - 3/31 yesterday :/
