My issue with tesla is the lack of any sort of update. If I got an email saying your order is delayed because of upgrades or lack of boats etc I'd accept it as at least I've had an update. Instead everyone has to resort to speculating on forums or trying to contact them on the chat with them also telling us they have no idea and to just wait and see what happens.

Yeah my feelings are similar
I like the Tesla model of not pushing products on customers… very much a “if you like it you’ll buy it” model.
What I can’t get my head round is the lack of communication within Tesla. I feel sorry for the Tesla guys and girls, they get hounded by the customers when they literally no less than those on this forum.
Must be a pretty awful place to work when you have to regularly say to customers “I don’t know”
Honestly thats often been my experience with other new cars. BMW would give you a build week estimate then go radio silent. We'd also rely on forums tracking boats and webcams and guessing which one was ours. A little more structured based on build dates though
Given Tesla build a limited number of variants, it should be possible for them to give you a relatively accurate estimate at time of order and stick to it.

Is this serious? Don’t see how they can modify the spec of the car if I ordered it at the 5.8 second 0-60…Yes a slower one

I think the person is referring to the previous model, i.e. M3 SR plus that had a 5.3s 0-60mph … confident ours will be 5.8s, which is plenty fast enough
Well, that didn’t last long.. back to Jan 4 - Feb 18!
Well, at least it’s consistently strong that time period.

The 3D7 motor is exclusive to the RWD.

I am not entirely sure however, given it was faster, most likley the 3D6.

I am thinking we might be on 3D8 by the time these RWDs arrive, now pushed back to Sep25th to Nov9th … flippin ‘eck! So sitting on the fence as to whether a Q3 car or a Q4 car …
I think all RWDs to date have the current motor. Only the SR+ model would have had the old motor, and a few of the last ones had the new motor.

That is an interesting one, how the considering you nearly ordered a whole month later than me. It is good to see some august EDD’s for the RWD tho, at least they are expecting to produce and deliver the RWD in Q3. Suppose it gives us Q4 EDD’s a slight glimmer of hope that we may be brought forward
