Tesla would love us to cancel right now as they are effectively selling us a car at $5000 less than orders after Jan.

November Orders
- Thread starter daahlberg
- Start date
I have no plans to cancel my order and the biggest downfall of me waiting is higher interest rates if I borrow.
Yep, the lack of timely EDD updates and accuracy tells the story. It's hard to imagine things improving when Tesla always seem to run on the ragged edge. Yesterday's Fremont drone flyover shows Fremont production is once again doing the end of quarter shut down to lick the wounds and/or give staff a well needed break.
Keep checking your local credit unions. Mine is advertising a 2.08% rate. Another tiny auto loan company is doing 1.75%.
Release the hold on 07/01, and my EDD is showing Aug 8 - Sept 12.

Good question. Aside from Shanghai's zero covid shut downs, Fremont has been pumping them out albeit at probably near max production capacity. Austin production has arguably been a disappointment. Maybe that's the difference? When we all received our initial EDDs Tesla assumed Austin would have a rosy ramp-up?
For now the only thing growing is demand and unlike most other EV manufacturers, Tesla continues to take deposit orders and string-customers along with optimistic EDDs, and allow occasional higher profit order wait-list jumping.
But it isn't isolated to Nov 2021 order as folks are still waiting with Aug, Sept, and Oct 2021 ODs and initial EDDs of April, May, and June so it's anyone's guess how far Nov 2021 EDDs will slide.
If Tesla was optimistic about Austin production you'd think EDDs would be pulling forward.
My EDD just moved up by a month and has a two week window for the first time! Went from August 21-September 25 to July 25-August 8.
Up until about 35 days so my EDD was Jan-Mar 2023 for several weeks, so these recent positive changes are quite exciting. I had nearly accepted that the car would be delivered in 2023. I think the production delays at the Austin factory were messing with my EDD and now that production started in the model y, Tesla was finally able to have a better idea of when it could deliver. I see many EDDs from Sep - Nov orders sliding back and forth lately as the crazy algorithm does its thing (or rather, does not do its thing).

MYLR red/black 19 no no OD 11/10/21 Last EDD Aug 17 - Sept 2
My EDD just changed yet again and was pushed OUT to Sept 12 - Oct 24. So much for Texas starting to fill the backlog. This would put me at roughly the one year wait for a car. I just sold my Model 3 in anticipation of getting the new car. I would Not accept a model 2022 model year car after waiting a year. After all that, it has to be a 2023.

How meaningful are "model years" given the ongoing update process that Tesla employs? It looks like continuous evolution to me rather than any discernible step change from year to year. Neither my order nor the current web site says anything about model years-- do they even have them?
I'm just waiting for my next delay to register. Maybe my initial EDD of November 2022 will turn out to be right (if I'm lucky).
Model years do count when you go to sell your car. There is a price difference between a 2018 and 2019 used Tesla. There will be a price difference between a used 2022 and 2023 Tesla.
