Hey Guys,
Here's a timeline on my current 70/75D order, in case anyone is interested:
- 04/23/16 - Initial order placed and web portal showed an est. "late May/June" delivery date.
- 05/06/16 - Received a Tesla marketing email stating my car would be of the new design (new frontend, LED headlights, center console, HEPA) but with a price increase of $1500 over last year's model. Based upon the changes listed I was OK with this.
- 05/07/16 - Emailed my DS with additional questions on these changes. He responded back with info but also stated that the new est. delivery date would now be "mid to late June" instead. Didn't question the delay as I assumed I would give Tesla a pass on this first one.
- 05/10/16 - Received another Tesla marketing email stating the 75Kw upgrade option was available for my order for an additional $3000. I called the contact number and verbally agreed to this price change.
- 05/14/16 - Logged into the My Tesla portal and noticed my est. delivery date now states "late June/July".
- 05/16/16 - Emailed my DS this morning to see if I can determine what may have caused this third delay. Awaiting response.
Assumptions/Conclusions:
I think because my order has fallen right on the Model S refresh schedule that this has caused some of the delay but I do know Tesla is know for over-promising up front. None of this would be of much concern to me except I was planning on trading a car so with every month the value of my car can come down. I just hope this doesn't push into August at this point.
