Model Y is at 9-12 months now, and other BEVs are also facing long lead times and/or dealer markups. There really isn't a fast way to get into a new BEV. The only fast route that I can think of is to buy a used one.

Last year people were delaying their orders over and over again, and putting their orders on hold to double dip with lower price and new tax breaks. The tax break thing never happened.
It seems like this year the trend is going in the opposite direction and Tesla is pushing the EDDs out over and over again.

The point was that if I were willing to wait 6+ months for a new car I would have went with a Model Y and just waited the 6+ months.
Yeah, could be a mix of factors. I wish there was more transparency from Tesla on supply chain issues their facing. They rather just fabricate things like the mobile connector being under utilized, when the wording in the memo said there is actually a backlog
My OD is 4/7 EDD June 12-July 17 19" wheels, one change by 3 days. You might be right because is you look to order the model 3 and change back and forth from the aero to 19" wheels, the aero delivery Oct-Dec and 19" July-Sept.

I guess I shouldn’t have made that bet to not shave until my delivery date!
If you go back and look at the first month of Q1 you'll see some similar days where many people were pushed way out. But then later many were pulled back in. At this point, I wouldn't panic. I know it's frustrating but again we've seen it before and things ended up a little better than expected.

Wow a lot of bad news here this morning.
At the risk of jinxing myself, mine has stayed the same since I ordered. No upgraded options. Seattle area.

Wow that is a big jump. That sucks.Updated EDD
Order Date 03/15 M3LR MSM Black Interior 18 inch Aero No FSD EDD 06/04 - 07/16 - Florida

04/20 EDD 08/23-10/04
Understood. My point was that Model Y wait times are categorically longer than Model 3 wait times. The people who signed up for a six month wait on a Model Y are undoubtedly looking at a 12 month wait now. Those who are signing up for a 12 month wait today should probably settle in for an epic delay. The Model 3 is not specially plagued by supply issues. Every make and model of BEV is having problems.
One of the few! I placed my order 2/18, MSM, Black interior, Aero, No FSD
And i wonder how are the EDD for model Y? Maybe they’re getting pushed back as well and you would have the same argument that you should’ve bought a Chevy Suburban instead if you knew you would have to wait 6 months lol
Which brings me to my original point. If I wanted to wait 6+ months I would have ordered a Model Y. Until recently it was not likely to wait 6+ months for a Model 3. Sure there may have been people who have but the majority did not. That is my point. My point is not what the current wait time is for a Model Y. Again, if I was willing to wait 6+ months I would have ordered a car that I was already okay with waiting 6+ months.
I’ve been lurking here for a while. Finally feel compelled to share my struggles.

I wouldn't care because I would have already wrapped my head around for waiting 6+ months. Although you cannot seem to wrap your head around that.
