With all the negativity some folks have expressed, I called Tesla again today and they reconfirmed that my vehicle delivery is for the MY Long Range (330 miles) as ordered by me - and they rechecked the MCO on their system and it is manufactured in Austin!
We've heard all sorts of stories about how orders are prioritized. And then at Quarter end. any reality is tossed aside as they race the deadline.
anyone that thinks getting a vehicle from a mature manufacturing line is a better bet than the first offerings from the factory that Elon says is burning money like a furnace. Even if they relocate some of the workers from Fremont, I think we can presume those would be a minority, and if the components actually have changed, there is still some learning to take place.
IF Austin could produce hundreds if not thousands of vehicles at this point there wouldn’t be so many people on this site waiting on LR MYs. What’s more likely that Tesla, which is the worst communicating trillion dollar company in human history, made a rolling change without telling anyone; or that a half dozen people colluded to pull a fast one over on a random inconsequential online forum? To what end would they (or possibly one really motivated person) do that?
Whay does it have to be half a dozen people ? Could be just 1 with multiple accounts
Sure, and every negative comment on the forum is made by some Tesla hater who is attempting to destroy its reputation one fan site at a time. This site has some of the most annoying users I’ve interacted with (probably because I don’t do politics). If you post something contrary to the prevailing opinion, or are negative about the vehicle in any way, you are summarily dismissed as a troll; when in fact the trolls are often the ones doing the dismissing. A handful of new accounts, all professing to be from TX, are claiming they’ve been told they’ll get LR MYs. If anyone has any proof that they are fake accounts or are lying please speak up; if not wait a week we’ll all find out together.
I should be getting a VIN I. The next month or so since my LR Y EDD is July 27 - Aug 31. I’m good with Fremont build since it seems likely based on what we’ve seen lately. I have to just let you know my deposit was July 2020 as well and it’s legit. I was one of those that put my reservation on hold a few times until we got the hate mail from Tesla telling us you can’t hold anymore or we’ll cancel your order lol. It worked out great due to all price hikes lately and the July 2020 price lock
Rickb3210, where are you picking up? Did they call or text to set up the delivery time? My app still says they will contact me to set the delivery date, but I haven’t heard anything. I texted the number that sent the trade in text but no response.
