based off posts I've seen a bit ago both on TMC and Reddit, if you add FSD before delivery, you'll get OD pricing which in November was $10K, vs. adding FSD after delivery which will be $12K (or potentially more). Not sure if that still holds true now, but it's something to consider for A) if so if you're fully intending on getting FSD.

I don’t think it will push your order back. If you add FSD. It’s a software upgrade. No extra parts are needed. You would pay a higher tax , title and registration fee. But it should be less than the $2000. You would have to pay later or more after you get the Vehicle.

That depends on the state. Illinois title and registration fee don't change. Tax, he will have to pay if he buys before or after. Personally I dont think is worth the cost of 10 or 12K. If @VollyballHokie really thinks he is really going to get it, then before may be better. If not, I would pay the 1month subscription and try it out before paying $12k. Its about a 5 year ownership to recover the initial cost.
I agree with you, I don't think FSD is worth the full price based on current functionality and my personal driving habits (no long daily commutes to make full use of it). But to each their own!
Fortunately the big "Fasttrack your EDD with FSD" push doesn't seem to be as strong nowadays, but I can't say for certain that adding FSD now won't help you get your car faster.
Regarding FSD, I think you first need to ask yourself: Do I have $12K to add FSD AND/OR I don't really care about money? If you answers to this question is YES, then don't read any further and just add FSD. You might get your car earlier.
If your answer to above question is NO or not sure then ask yourself
1. Will you ever use FSD? If yes, add it. If no or unsure then ask
2. How many times will you really use it? Is it worth it for just keeping it?
It is really a personal choice. For me, FSD is useless (and of course I don't have that much money for FSD
). I am buying an expensive car that I want to drive and enjoy rather than just sit in it and do nothing. Adding FSD now won't change anything for you but might increase your chances of getting the car earlier
I see people saying that have gotten a trade in message from Tesla. What does the message say or ask? I have a trade in. I keep it up to date with mileage. I’ve never received a message about it.
Asking if you need assistance with a Trade In, just reply No even if you have one,leave it set to cash, you can change it after you have a VIN.
It may be a good sign. You might get VIN soon. That happened to some in sept thread. Some were on just month Edd not range and some went on TBD. They all got vin soon after.
You can check source code see if you can see your vin in there
I feel your pain Brotha, as I woke up on May Day with similar push back to June-July. Same configuration for me except I have tow. Where are you scheduled to take delivery? I will eventually be picking up in Loveland. What was OD?
False alarm. It changed backed to what it was 5/13-5/27
