Really debating whether to take the car that will be ready next weekend or go on hold and wait for a Ryzen car. Seems like if you go on hold for any period of time you probably won't see a new car for a few months once you lift the hol
Not defending Tesla here by any means, but from everything I read in this thread its no wonder delivery times are all over the place. People put on hold, then remove, then hold again, then get a VIN, then remove the VIN, then wait. I want the rebate, I want the Ryzen, I want the battery......................I changed my mind, I'm waiting for the new 2023 front end design that is rumored...........You make some fair points, my issue with the delivery time frame has to do with the fact that when you order they give an estimated delivery month that in my case is going to be at least 2 months off if not more. If they had initially listed that the delivery would be sometime in March when i ordered in October i wouldn't be nearly as frustrated. In fact if they had advertised march and i end up getting it in February i would be excited instead of feeling let down every day when i check my status. Plus if the estimated dates were more pessimistic in timing then i would have known to order it earlier. Ive seen very few cars actually be delivered within the initial advertised time frame which isn't an issue for many but i ordered at a specific time because i needed the car by a specific time. I even accounted for an entire extra month in case of delays as i am well aware of part shortages recently. As far as the FSD, with how random vin assignments seem to be i really wouldn't be surprised if they prioritized orders with FSD as its an extra 10k more for Tesla without having to really do any extra work.
In my opinion more than one hold should = back of the line...........I may be in the minority though.
