Seems like someone at Tesla just clicked the random number generator again....just 7 days after my previous EDD update, it's changed again to 'August 27 - September 26'. At least it's going the right way (then again, it doesn't say which year...)

Meanwhile, on the Tesla EDD hotline, more calls are coming in…
Now EDD is November 15 - December 30. Getting closer.My EDD just changed from Nov 22 - Jan 6 to, wait for it…..Nov 21 - Jan 5.
At least it is going on the right direction.
And it did. Now 20-30 September.My EDD has moved again, this time from Nov - Dec to September 6 - 30. No doubt it’ll move again next week![]()
One order lease, one order direct.How is that possible? Sorry if you have mentioned this before @Darreno... are you at the mercy of a leasing company or direct via Tesla?
Either way is no one able to give you any indication? How annoying!![]()
At least no indication is honesty. Plenty on this forum will have made plans based on EDDs, and I would bet for several (me included) the relatively short lead times made the Tesla option more attractive than the available alternatives. The fact is that the lead times quoted in March/April have proven to be fictional, with no compensation or even communicated apology for inconvenience caused. That is very poor.Good luck with those lead times.
And if you think Tesla is opaque in this pre-delivery period, they are as nothing compared to VW. I came to the Tesla rollercoaster as a backup plan for an ID.3 Tour that VW couldn't tell me was in build or not, part-built or not, or to give any kind of indication of possible lead time.
I’d opine that your residuals are as safe, and probably safer, in Tesla’s brand for the next 10 years than some other brands. Notably VW, whose vehicle OS division very obviously couldn’t OTA their way out of a wet paper bag.At least no indication is honesty.

It’s all very well saying that EDDs should be taken with a pinch of salt, and lockdowns haven’t helped, but I would have preferred VW’s honest approach to a shifting EDD with no ability for me to mitigate it once I’ve nailed my colours to the order mast, and no communication as to the reasons for any shift.
For £58k, this isn’t good enough and not a good way to start a ~4 year ownership relationship. I worry that when other manufacturers (inevitably) catch up with Tesla’s tech, the brand will have been tarnished by this sort of nonsense to the point that residuals could be affected. It sounds far-fetched, but if you’d told me three years ago about Covid, I’d have said ‘bollocks, that’ll never happen!’.
I hope you’re right (and do love the word ‘opine’). I’d also probably agree with you, but there is certainly a ‘shelf life’ on companies who take customers for granted, Tesla can do so for now but I do hope it gets out of the ‘glorified start up’ mentality before people start voting with their feet and orders.I’d opine that your residuals are as safe, and probably safer, in Tesla’s brand for the next 10 years than some other brands.

I’d agree with the 5-10 year window to upskill the organisation in customer service and respect, I personally think it is a key future differentiator. In my experience the existing brands don’t do it well either, and we’ve had several “premium” brand vehicles over the years. I don’t include VW in “premium brand” incidentally!I hope you’re right (and do love the word ‘opine’).

I’d opine that they’ve got a good 5-10 years to sort that given the global brand hysteria, but am personally more excited about the Rivian R1T or the prospect of an ID Buzz Camper replacing my Y (once received) than anything else out there.
CongratulationsGot a text today confirming delivery for the 26th august,
MYLR white / white / gemini ordered 9th march with lease company.
Though a lease company? I thought Tesla gave quite specific dates for collections?just received a text asking if I’m still able to collect before end of September.
