October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

[cc333]

I was also told that I could leave the finance option open and not impact my delivery... My EDD just got moved back to Sept 5 - Oct 3. Sharing the same disappointment as I was looking forward to summer plans with the MY. Spoke to Tesla employee this morning, and they said that the push back was not due to the financing, but now I am questioning if that is true. I am now going to just switch to cash to be safe. Makes it even worse is that transmission went out on my car in December, so the wife and I have to share one vehicle until delivery.

Order date: 10/15/21
Initial ED: April 2022
ED changed to June 2022 around Dec/Nov timeframe and has been there until this morning

Build: LR
Exterior: Black
Wheels: 19 inch
Interior: White

Yeah, that's what I was told too, hence the generic month, no precise date range. Wasn't until as we inch closer to June, I start getting pumped & start looking at forums on other dates and prep for delivery only to find out leaving the financing option will leave you in limbo based on the forums. I completed the task earlier this week and now have a precise date range, but really disappointed. Felt no difference in delivery range compared to if ordered today, what have I been waiting for the past five months then? Felt cheated and also misinformed. I'm sure Tesla have its own fair share of blame / ownership of the problem, misinformation and advisor never checked in on me.

Hi Friends,

I have been following this thread for ~2 months but this is my first post to share my experience so it is helpful to someone.

Order Date: 10/06 – New to Tesla ordering, went all in and added most of the options – MYLR5, MSM, Black interior, Induction wheels, Tow, FSD. Added Trade-in. EDD April 2022. Received trade-in offer next day, did not accept and left it open.

10/16 – Took a test drive at Springfiled, NJ location, the associate told me I don’t have to provide title unless it is close to delivery, left it alone. Made design changes to MYLR5, Black, Black Interior, 19’’ wheels, and Tow.

I had multiple EDD changes ranging from mid Feb 2022 to late Apr 2022 during October 2021 to December 2021 and then it went to generic ‘June’.

01/06/22 – Received a text message from SA asking me to complete the profile including trade-in, payment etc. The message also stated that customers with completed profile are prioritized for delivery. I ignored it thinking I had already put in my registration information and that trade-in and payment are not needed until close to delivery.

01/11/22 – Received the same text message from Tesla. This time I took it serious and started following TMC posts and learned the importance of profile completion (Thanks to TMC contributors). Though Tesla provided me a new trade-in offer based on updated odometer reading, I set the profile to ‘no trade-in’, and ‘cash’ for payment option.

01/12/22 – EDD changed to ‘June 2022’

01/13/22 – Clicked the ‘add FSD package’ button in my account.

01/18/22 – Asked SA via text why it is ‘June 2022’ without a range. He/She told there is nothing wrong in my profile, and EDDs should update in coming weeks.

Late Jan – Sure enough the EDD updated to May 24 – June 21 and it stayed there steady all the time.

02/25/22 – Received a surprise text message stating my VIN is assigned. It is NF383xxx. I asked the SA to set my account to be able to add trade-in and financing options. The SA unlocked my account for these options immediately. I put in the trade-in information.

02/26/22 – Didn’t get trade-in estimate, asked SA if I can put in financing application while waiting for trade-in estimate. The answer was yes, I applied for the full amount of the vehicle not knowing if I will accept the trade-in offer or not.

In the meantime I wanted to also give it a shot with DCU (Thanks to TMC members). I donated $10 to one of the charities listed by them and created a savings account to become a member. Then I could apply for financing with DCU. They offered me a finance rate 0.75% less than Tesla’s offer through Wells Fargo.

I asked SA to confirm if any other better financing rates are available, he/she said Wells Fargo’s offer is the lowest.

I also shopped around for trade-in online (Carmax, Carvana, Webuyanycar) and two local dealers. These offers were better than Tesla’s trade-in offer.

02/27 I declined Tesla’s offer for trade-in and asked the SA to set the account for 3rd party financing to DCU, he/she asked for the amount financed, and confirmed MVPA will be available soon. Within few minutes I got the MVPA and submitted it to DCU.

I also got a text message from Tesla asking me to schedule for Delivery. Of the delivery date range of 03/07-03/09 provided to me, I scheduled for 03/07.

03/01: Since I did not hear anything from DCU, I decided to call them during office hours, they were kind enough offer additional 0.5% discount on the rate for plus member based on the promise of establishing direct deposit, and an additional 0.25% discount on the rate for energy efficient vehicle. I was told that these discounts will drop off if I don’t establish direct deposit within 90 days. They also opened a checking account for me which is required to get these additional discounts. I think this is the best interest rate I feel anyone can get. I got the documents via Docusign to sign. Within minutes of signing, they provided me confirmation that they sent the check by Fedex overnight, and provided tracking information and a scanned copy of the check.

03/04: Checked Trade-in with Driveway (Thanks again to TMC) which offered ~3k more than Tesla for my 2016 Honda Accord. I scheduled an appointment with them for inspection at local dealership for 03/12.

03/07: Delivery process was simple and easy, they unlocked the car remotely, the car looked absolutely beautiful (see attached picture). The paperwork was on the dash in a FedEx envelope. I took the checklist from Youtuber Mike Suess and took ~90 minutes to go over everything. I noticed one minor cosmetic issue in the upholstery above the rear passenger seat and also felt the air conditioner makes a humming noise. Signed the paperwork and took to the front desk with DCU check, pointed the issues. I was told to start a service request in the Tesla app prior to driving 100 miles. I then drove off. I scheduled service as soon as I reached home.

03/08: I submitted copy of documents to Driveway they requested for selling my 2016 Honda Accord

03/12: I got a call from Driveway 1 hour prior to my appointment, the agent walked me through the process on phone and provided me his phone number. When I arrived at the dealership, I called him, he walked around the car and agreed with the condition I specified during the initial estimate process, and he took a test drive. We then sat in the dealership to sign the paperwork. Once the paperwork is completed, he handed me a certified check and removed the license plates for me. I walked away in 30 minutes. The process was simple and easy.

I know this is a long post but this is my way of appreciating those at TMC who helped me with useful information when I needed them. If my post is useful to even one member here, my purpose is served.

Thanks for reading

Congrats! At least you got reached & check in by an advisor. Mine is non-existent, no support. I only found out about the truth that profile needs to be completed through here. I can only hope I get mine in May in time for Memorial day, but that is very wishful thinking and you got FSD which should move up your process a bit from what was found over the last several days.

Just got my car today in Tesla Toronto. I ordered MYLR October 5th. After a good check on delivery - I gave them my list and they fix it immediatly - I really had small issues and very small gaps on rear area (both doors).
I got the AMD but no dual rear windows - Car is amazing and I am really enjoying it.

Yeah, I'm really hoping for dual pane glass on the rear window by the time I get mine.

 

[BGOwner]

Another thing not right, bias because this sits with me, delivery should be based on ordered date, not task completion date.

Tesla has said, last month they made a change to calculations and is now based on order date, no longer on profile completion. We shall see

 

[Lightbulb]

So the model y ordered in October 20,2021, delivery date was June last night and this morning it says
August 4th- September 1st

Alberta Canada

White, 20 inch wheels, long range

I ordered MYLR. my order date was october 18, 2021. My original EDD was April. Then after about a week got pushed back to June. Has been that way since, it’s been 5 months. I haven’t been able to complete my profile because i haven’t received my current car’s title. So maybe that’s why it’s taking so long because i haven’t completed my profile?? help!!

 

[cc333]

Well, clearly not reflected to me yet cause it seems like I just ordered today given their EDD even though I ordered back in October. Source? Hopefully, true. Do you know if the changes applies to current new reservations or existing reservations as well?

 

[Silence88]

Same. A few days ago my EDD just got bumped to 8/16 - 9/13 and I have a February ’21 order date. Ordering FSD now seems to be the most important factor driving EDDs.

I heard 2 things. Guy at Tesla said all orders, but someone here posted he was told after November orders. Are you saying your October order has a September or later EDD? Cause that is current orders.

Yes, that is probably contributing. Would recommend completing it with cash and no trade in, and you can change it once you get a VIN!

Hey!
I have a question, I ordered on October 26th a Red MYLR7, black seats, 20 wheels, no tow, no FSD.
My EDD has charged a lot and currently is saying May 10- June 7

I am thinking of changing seats to white, do you think that will restart the entire process? I also am thinking if adding FSD while I can still get at 10k, maybe that will help offset the date?

I wanted these things but didn’t need them but since spending this much time and money, I might as well go all in and get what I really want.
I’ve saved about half and going to finance the other half.

Should I make these changes? Do you think it will reset my date? I don’t want to be pushed back more!

Has anyone made changes and if so, did it set your delivery date back more and how long?

 

[cc333]

Yep, ordered back in October, but didn't know / misinformed the payment option needs to be completed, now EDD is mid August to mid September for me to put it simply, basically feels like I ordered today.

Thank you! I agree it is sad that we have to figure out profile completion requirements on our own. I wish Tesla include this information on the order confirmation email so the customers are aware of what is needed to get on the queue. May be FSD helped me move up or it is also possible that someone else with the same configuration cancelled/rejected. Wish you good luck with your delivery/timing.

I evaluated adding FSD through 'change design' option. The summary page was showing that day's price for the vehicle and options which was 4.5k more than what it was on the order date. Then I added FSD through 'add FSD Package' button on the account page, it did not change the order date on the order agreement, and the vehicle price was same as the original order date. If you make design changes, you will have to pay current pricing for the car. Not sure if it will impact EDD.

 

[alyssavega3]

Thanks!! i switched to No trade in. but i had already submitted loan application so now it’s saying i obviously owe a lot more money now. but just trying to get profile completed.

 

[VGKraver]

Las Vegas
MYLR White ext, black int, no hitch, no FSD, 19”
OD 10/5

After changing 4-5 times, it’s finally at the latest it’s ever been
EDD 5/12 - 6/9

The EDD keeps getting pushed back from March to April to May. As of last night, it was sitting at 5/12-6/9. I decided to add FSD package to it since it was 10k instead of 12k. Ugh I just need the car now and the gas savings will add up over time at this rate.

6 hours later….woke up this morning and the EDD changed to March 18-31. Now we’re talking! Hopefully I get a VIN this week

I did the same thing today!! So hoping for same thing! Congrats!

Hope it works out for you. Personally, FSD not worth the 10k. Not even for a couple of month bump in EDD. This is just an Elon gimmick to get $$ and make FSD look better than it is.

For me, I’m a get it if I go on a road trip monthly subscription but that is it
