Yeah, he mentioned that as far as he could tell it should roll off soon but said that they don't have much visibility on where a car is at. We're under a bit of a timeline as we're moving halfway across the country mid-August and we had plenty of assurances and 99.9% certainties that we'd take delivery before late July. Even when we ordered in late June, we were looking at fleet vehicles because we knew the timeline was tight. The sales person said that they were almost certain they could get us an end of line production slot of July 13th, which seemed like it would give us plenty of breathing room. Once the order was confirmed, the delivery specialist said that the sales person was very misinformed, as July 13th would've been the earliest it would enter production.
We're planning on using the vehicle to transport ourselves, our kids, our dog, and some essentials on the three day drive. Worst case scenario, we rent something one way...not thrilled about the cost of that n'or the cost of either needing to fly black to get the car, pay to deliver it to a new state, or have to switch the delivery to other state instead (sales tax). There's still a good chance that it'll all work out, but the window is closing for sure.
I know things happen, just feels like a few people at Tesla might need to lower their "99.9% certainty" threshold, especially going by some of the delays others have seen. Maybe this has come up before, but with their super high-tech factory, shouldn't a delivery specialist be able to speak to someone on the other end to find out exactly where a car is in production along with a very accurate eta?
Well if it makes you feel any better, mine just changed back to In Production.
So it's going backwards.
