We've proven this over and over that it is not the order price that makes a difference. Otherwise, all of these 2020 and early 2021 orders would not be filled and people with the same order configuration placed post-price hike would be getting that car.
I guess the question is what DOES make a difference? There seems to be no logic to it. Yeah, I know, it's the monkey but really -- why do people who order in August and September get their cars before people who order in February? We'll never know because Tesla will never tell you (do they even know?). Doesn't make it any less of a head scratcher.
I'm in the Bay area near the Fremont factory but am taking delivery in Southern California.
Yea. My vote is to wait a bit longer then you'll get a 2022.
Bummer! It seems that as others have stated here, the NF (2022) VINs are not yet being assigned.
Many years ago, when I pre-ordered an ML (hey, I like to buy cars sight unseen), the whole experience was exactly the same. Needless to say, they've had a few decades to get this stuff sorted out.
As much as I want my car, we are both ordering the same car and I have a 1150 RN so hope that you get yours before me! I hate Queue jumping even if it is out of my control.Hi everyone. Putting this out there for what it is -- one data point from one Tesla employee who we all know have little to no more info than we do. It seemed to confirm my suspicions so I am sharing.
Today I took my Model 3 into the North Houston service center for out-of-warranty service and sort of mentioned in passing that it is annoying to pay for service 9 months after I ordered my Model S and the employee asked "why are you still waiting, we can almost certainly get you in a car with a similar configuration?". I said that would be nice but I am locked in to the $15K lower price and he said "oh yeah, that's why you're not matched yet and no one is offering you an alternate config."
It's really frustrating and my patience is wearing thin. I ordered on 4-Feb with RN 1144 and have a current projected EDD of Dec 16-31. My conclusion is that order date does not matter much, especially if you are ordering a car at the original price. I am glad for all the people who are getting MS LR cars on here with similar configs to mine but it sucks seeing so many newer RNs get cars while I wait as patiently as possible.
Tesla really does like to torture us don't they???
I’m really hopeful to the point that I’ve been pushed back, but a 2022 would make the delay more rewarding.
It seems like plaid makes a difference. I ordered mid September, delivery set for next week.
yes. Plaid makes a difference. Trim level wise it's more money, but obviously a whole lot less of the overall pool of reservations. They've probably gotten through almost all the backlog of the Plaid by now, but LR still has a much larger backlog. how many times can I say backlog. lol.
I wonder if my car had the same issue, finally got it today after waiting two weeks for them to fix something, they wouldn’t tell me. Hang in there, I know it suck’s beyond belief. If it wasn’t for the $12,600 price difference, I honestly would have passed on the car, and ordered a 2022.So freaking tired!!!
Tesla SC called to tell me they just received my car but the ABS module is defective and will need two weeks to get a new module. So instead of getting my car next friday or a couple days early, I'm now postponed another 2 weeks.
Worst, they have a car in the lot just like mine with 21s instead of 19s, but they don't want to switch the wheels. They also don't want to take the ABS module from that car to put it on mine.
I feel like a regular car dealer would definitely switch the wheels or the ABS module to have a happy customer. With Tesla's business model, they just don't give a crap. Your car will be ready when it is ready. We're not gonna switch wheels on the car to make you happy.
**** Tesla. **** their awful customer service. **** their awesome cars, I'd buy anything else if anything else was close.

Happy 9,000 reaction score @jebinc! Just noticed.Be forewarned - we seem to be seeing an increase in halfshaft failures; a problem which has plagued the model S from day 1 and never fixed. Consider me the latest to fall victim.
Plaid Vibration around 38-42MPH....
I know that the SvC's have re-balanced wheels, however, I don't think that precludes a problem with runout or other wheel defect. I know it's not convenient, but could one of you try a different wheelset? Especially since you can't swap front to back.
Call your local tesla store if they have any in inventory. They might say "no plaids because theyre new" initially but press them on checking on their internal dashboard a bunch will show up.
