Keep in mind most of us are waiting on our car so we wouldn't have answers for you. Try the forums here on the site that are full of existing owners and also there is a small forum about Tesla insurance - Insurance

Realize that the Safety Score isn't just a measure of your driving habits. It's also a measure of how dangerous your driving environment is. If you're being forced to do "unsafe" things in order to defend yourself from lunatic drivers, that is a statement that you're in a dangerous environment. The Safety Score reflects that. In general, I wouldn't worry. Just sign up for Tesla Insurance and go through the process. If the rate that Tesla charges in practice isn't to your liking, switch to a conventional insurance policy.
He's just venting. You know how stressful it is to wait and wait and wait. It affects different people in different ways.

It can't be that much though. Tesla is still building Y's in Fremont. There are several videos on YouTube of drone footage of plant from the last couple of weeks, and I would say that there was more Y's then any other model in the lot where the cars get loaded for delivery.
Mine updated the 2nd day of my EDD, so I’d give it another day or so.
But he’s not wrong. Tesla gets away with sub-standard communication because they have a superior product compared to the competition. That may change some day. Or not.
Yeah a bit sub standard communication compared to the norm when supply chains and production are more predictable. And maybe it’s because we have that little date appearing in the app that is increasing stress levels.
if you’re ordering a Mach E or a rav4 prime, those future owners aren’t refreshing some app or webpage feverishly hourly(or more than that for some folks here hahah) and tracking every shift in EDD.
And I don’t disagree that tesla raising prices and slowly removing some features / items that were previously included leaves a bad taste. They do it because they can and as much as people whine about it, there is someone else in the long queue who would be more than willing to take your spot. So yeah, tesla has control and the power right now.
With any luck, all of us who ordered before apr 17 will get the mobile connector. I highly doubt anyone here will be cancelling their orders over a $275 (not $400) mobile charger….

Same here. We're still waiting for ours so to keep from making every morning into the garage pure hell, I gave my accessories to my son who just got his M3 and then I moved a cabinet in front of 200v plug I installed 2 weeks ago. Now I only drive myself crazy by doing multiple Tesla website VIN checks with the Chrome extension.

Oh, that will change some day. Lots of companies are making EV's but I think Tesla's single threat is Lucid Motors.

I think you will get a vin. fingers crossed!!It's day 1 of my 11 day EDD window. Anyone want to place bets on if my EDD gets pushed or if I get a VIN assigned during this window?
Tell me you know nothing about the trajectory of the EV market without telling me you know nothing about it

Tesla Gen 2 Mobile Charger that comes with all vehicles is listed at $275.
$400 charger appears to be different. Am I incorrect?

I dont think Lucid is anywhere close to being a threat to Tesla. They are still very new to the whole end to end car production business. Existing ICE manufacturers pose a bigger threat (relatively) compared to Lucid as they already have been manufacturing cars for decades. Still Tesla is a decade ahead of the competitors at this point. We will see if the status quo changes in the coming years (not likely, unless Elon steps aside and some vanilla MBA comes in to run Tesla).

Well…. while communication may be better I am not so sure it’s any worse than ordinary car dealers. I don’t really need someone to contact me constantly providing Hand-Holding and Tear-Wiping chores. So far I ordered the car in Feb and the website at the time stated May delivery. So far it’s on schedule so we will see.
I am not a big fan of car dealers in general, I have had many bad experiences that this is a breath of fresh air. In fact I would defer to a quote from Dickins on the Canadian series Letterkenny(Which is awesome by the way) “Every single one of ‘em carry’s a revolver under his drivers seat, and every single one of ‘em knows why!”.
No you’re correct. The $400 one has the NEMA 14-50 adapter on it. People just complain about the $400 one because it sounds worse. Tesla will also be reducing the price of the $275 one
Since we both have the same build and are local, wanted to give you an update on mine.It's day 1 of my 11 day EDD window. Anyone want to place bets on if my EDD gets pushed or if I get a VIN assigned during this window?
On Tuesday I got my VIN and a 4 day EDD window of April 26-30, completed all tasks, and it’s with each passing day the EDD is delayed but still a 4 day window. I texted my SA and they said my VIN is still going through final inspection and I am going to be contacted for delivery dates. Right now EDD is April 28 (today) - May 2.
So it seems to me like the EDDs still aren’t perfect and there might be some kinks getting worked out.
