Rant warning. I need a place to vent!
Going on 2 weeks now of having a VIN assigned but without even getting the text to schedule delivery. Still have 6-7 day EDDs that keep getting progressively pushed back as their start days come and go, just like in the pre-VIN bad days.
I understand (from the above post) that they were/are having difficulties arranging for transport for vehicles from the factory, but I'm getting frustrated and the whole process is leaving a very bad taste in my mouth.
Why can't the let me know what is going on? Why can't they tell me they are having difficulties with transport? (why do I have to find that out from some random post on a fan forum? Just like the EAP snafu?). I wouldn't mind if the delivery day was a while from now IF I actually had a scheduled, confirmed date and not this auto-generated EDD moving target again.
I know this is just Tesla's MO, but it's just so aggravating to ask for updates from the SAs, only to be met with silence. When I call, I get a friendly rep who basically gives me no information and refers to the EDD in the app. Sometimes I wonder if my car even actually exists despite the VIN...
I must be one of the last April orders remaining. Would it be so hard to prioritize my order in that case? Why did it seem like so many other California orders, with order dates from May to August, and from the Bay to LA/Orange, got their cars over the past 2 weeks? It's not like I'm way out in some rural area near the Nevada border or something...I just feel like they keep placing my order at the bottom of the pile and it's really starting to get to me despite my best efforts at staying patient. Just seems weird to me they'd leave a finished car on their factory lot for like 12 days now.
I know this is a first-world problem, and I feel bad for whining, but the constant delays are starting to cost me real money in terms of interest rate increases and falling used-car prices. Combined with the very opaque status of what's going on, nonexistant communication, and constant wonder of when I'll actually get my car, just starting to feel down about the whole thing.
Anyway, thank for your listening to my rant. Needed to get that off my chest.
