So I think I have figured out the process Tesla follows on the expected delivery.
it’s like making pizza - you have several pizzas going (aka car reservation batches) and so you look for flour (body), water (battery and motors) and yeast (interior) for them. At that stage, your delivery is some arbitrary future date that you know is wrong because you haven’t proofed the dough as yet.
now when the dough is made fresh (aka procurement initiated for all the materials), your delivery goes blank, because you don’t know which dough ball will be made first - yes you have the dough balls, but which unlucky bastard will be made last - you don’t know that!
now when all the dough balls are proofed (materials in stock at the factory), you lay them out in a line and depending on if you’re a right handed person or a left handed person, you know which way you’ll go - dough ball #1, vs dough ball #last. That is when you assign a potential delivery window to the pizza - aka car
now the shift changes and the other dude coming to make the pizzas is left handed (assume you were right handed)! All of a sudden, doughball #last becomes doughball#1. There is now a glitch in the matrix and everything goes blank again for a bit until the new delivery time gets established for the left handed pizza dude!
then the shift changes again - process repeats! Eventually all the dough balls become pizzas, but we still haven’t addressed the toppings (aka wheels) !!!
see this is where it gets really interesting! Right handed pizza dude will shape some dough balls but put them aside in the parking lot because he ran outta pepperoni! Left handed pizza dude will (depending on if he’s a hard worker) either take right handed pizza dude’s shaped pies and put his own toppings on them or shape new dough balls!
irrespective of shift change, at some point there’s very few dough balls left and then the date range gets tighter! This is also why some lucky bastard gets his pizza within 10 minutes of ordering vs other unlucky bastards who have been in the middle of the batch and wait forever!
and that is how this car is made! Case solved!

Oh haha, I assumed with a name like Fabio that you were Italian, and just named your cars based on their colors

Just the opposite for me, my first assigned date range was Nov 14 - Dec 4 but today shows Oct 31 - Nov 20. Might have to join Leo's club if this keeps up.

Not really, there are still whiners out there. Sone do not even own it yet. They are telling me how crazy I am for being ok with it after 10k miles.
The latest update improves the buttons considerably.
An honest review of the yoke
The turn signals are capacitive touch buttons? That is not a huge deal, but it's also a bad idea. The first Chevy Volts had capacitive touch buttons on the center stack. Most people seemed to have the same experience with them. They are cool at first, but they quickly become annoying, and in...

Very nice. I like the original thought you put in deciphering the Tesla EDD protocol. I wish they had a policy of only hiring either left-handed or right-handed pizza makers that will eliminate half of the problem we face.
I agree except I don’t think the horn is well thought out.

Update - just got an email from my delivery guy saying that I’m all set to pick up my car at 12pm CST today! I can’t believe this is actually happening!Update - Just called Tesla and they said my car has arrived at the SC! My delivery guy said if inspection goes well I should be able to take delivery tomorrow!

Awesome, glad to hear software updates are improving the yoke. What version are you on?Not really, there are still whiners out there. Sone do not even own it yet. They are telling me how crazy I am for being ok with it after 10k miles.

The horn is the one thing I am not sold on either but never really use it.

That is likely the manual (or nearly so) that applied to my S 70D, as new, in 2015. That one stops at p. 141 and begins with an index. The latest 2021 manual continues to p. 225, and then has disclaimers, declarations of conformity, and troubleshooting alerts, all of which are not present in the 5.9 (2014 era) manual.
Clearly, there are many more nuances and explanations in the 2021 version. For example, the 2021 adds a detailed explanation on how to jump start the 12v battery, while the old 5.9, 2014 version just says, "please call Tesla".
Strangely, I find the 2014 manual to more accurately describe the operation of voice commands (p. 37) than the corresponding language in the 2021 manual. In other words, the 2021 manual (p. 160) as was true since 2019, has an error in describing voice command operation.

I'd agree but it is a too regular irregular curve to be a rando wire (IMO).
True, but these colors are those of the most successful Italian soccer team (although this year I don't expect much after CR7's departure)Oh haha, I assumed with a name like Fabio that you were Italian, and just named your cars based on their colors
