For the fourth time this month, I have entered the beginning of my EDD period only to have it changed to a later EOQ EDD one day after entering the period. I rushed to made adjustments and moved money in my various accounts before the first Sept EDD like a sucker.
I'm upset at falling for the message in the apology email since it turns out Tesla has actual information on my order which my SA thankfully shared only after I asked (i.e. I am slated for an October production car) but they are using the supposedly most accurate online EDD in the email to either (a) keep me ready to help them meet EOQ sales numbers if another order holder can't take EOQ delivery, or (b) screw with their customers by not sharing the actual date and instead dangling and pulling away incorrect dates like Lucy with the football.
To be charitable to Tesla, I assume it is the former but wish they could just be honest and say here is the date we currently have for your production BUT we could match you to a car earlier if a customer cancels an order or can't take delivery. Then getting an early car would seem like a lucky bonus and Tesla could still have backup customers ready to pounce if they got lucky.
It's a good thing that the MB EQS is not available yet and I have too much range anxiety to buy the Taycan because Tesla has worn any patience I have for waiting completely away.
My timeline so far:
EDD post Tesla apology email: 9/30-10/20
Shortly after: 9/20-9/30
About Sept. 1: 9/18-9/29
Sept. 10: SA said I am matched to Oct. production/delivery
Sept. 11: 9/15-9/29
Sept. 16: 9/18-9/27
Sept. 19: 9/21-30
Sept. 22: 9/24-30
Sept. 25: 9/27-30
