They need to get the January orders shipped out first.
For me personally, after 9 months of waiting and being allowed a 3 day window to pick up regardless of circumstances or else you go back in the hopper is just an incredibly poor customer service policy. I realize they have limited space and I’m not paid to try to solve this, but surely somebody should be.
I’ve been waiting 13 months. Been good with the wait on the Plaid, just not the daily gyrations on delivery guesstimates. Both our cars will probably be 2022 models now. Maybe MYP will even have 4680s and ship from TX.
You have to change cars in the drop down menu and look the parts for "Model S Apr 2016 - Jan 2021"
Could be some pad in that to inspect and prep car. Talk to the delivery advisor, could push it up a day.
Oh, man. I'll be watching my EDD very closely then... I have 10/28-11/26 - so right around what you had. Even though there seem to be quite a few deliveries happening, some people (like us) are just not lucky.
Perhaps you could go in and pay for the car (or pay online through Plaid) and then authorize a friend to go pick it up during the delivery window. Tesla should be able to accommodate. I know, that’s a big “should”.
You may need to provide your friend a Limited scope Power of Attorney.
If he was to have someone pick it up, just make sure he does not drive it. Actually, I am not being factitious. I was told by someone who picked up his Model S, that he was given 100 miles to pick up any defects. Not warranty items, but things like paint, trim, etc, that could be damaged by the owner after delivery.
