I’d like to believe this too.In an effort to brighten up the doom and gloom permeating this thread, I think we all need to remember that - historically - EDDs are about as useful as an inflatable dart board (at least until they narrow to a very small window).
By this time next week, they'll likely have changed another 2 or 3 times for no apparent reason. Pure conjecture that should be treated as such.
What we do know is that Giga Shanghai is now back up and running and that they will be under pressure to start clearing the backlog in all regions, the increased domestic demand in China notwithstanding. And, whilst I do not profess to be an expert on Tesla's production capabilities, I find it very hard to believe that a 3-4 week shutdown would result in a 4-5 month delay in deliveries.
I'm staying hopeful. But am also weening myself off of the thrice-a-day addiction that is this thread as I'm going to have a mental breakdown.
The other issue is that if they do bring the date forward on short notice (in a typical Tesla fashion : “collect in the next three days or lose it and get bumped to Q4/2023”), I have an odd feeling that it would be early to mid-August, where most of us (at least me) will be on holiday abroad. That would just annoy me more.
