Wow that’s awesome, congrats! But I can’t believe FSD got you the same model as me potentially 6 months earlier and you ordered almost 3 weeks later! Crazy! Enjoy your Y!!! Jealous!

October 2021 Order Delivery Dates
- Thread starter MYWBT
- Start date
Let us know if you think FSD is worth it. Debating biting the bullet and adding it for $10k.
It was end of 2019 and demand was pretty good back then but no supply chain problems and Tesla didn’t beg anyone. All I commented about was that between vin assignment and delivery usually there is enough time unless you are in CA and it is end of the quarter rush.

It didn’t. a person at the same show room had my exact config and backed out. i was just very lucky to be the first person they called!! - i actually removed the FSD before picking it up because i couldn’t get the financing approved for the extra 10k in time before pickup. so i just cancelled it to get the car faster.

That was the plan until they increased it to $12k. Have the option to add it for $10K now. Maybe I will add it if my EDD delays again because I need the car by June 1st for a road trip.
The supply chain shortages aren’t forcing Tesla to do these scummy EOQ business practices. Even the legacy dealerships, aren’t screwing over loyal customers like Tesla is.
I don’t share your sentiment about Tesla. My EDD moved only once so far and I am positive that I will have our MY By end of May. Any business is there to make money first and everything else second. More expensive models were always prioritized and it is not new thing. At least Tesla don’t sell model Y for 95k like scammy Ford dealers trying to for Mach E GT in my area.

So you think it’s ok that Tesla gave VINs and scheduled delivery to customers and took their money. Then took the VINs away and cancelled the deliveries last minute to give them to customers closer to Fremont just to get the cars off the books by EOQ?
It’s ok to have people waiting a year for their MY, but then at EOQ say if you pay for FSD you’ll get bumped up, or if you upgrade to a Performance you’ll get it by EOQ?
The most successful businesses put customers first, that’s how they make their money. Customer retention costs less then customer acquisition.
The best example is Costco. They are probably one of the most customer friendly businesses and employee friendly too. They probably take a bath on their generous return policy, but it’s one of the perks of buying at Costco.

Congrats on getting your car! Just curious, do you think the previous person assigned the VIN before you also saw a panel gap and decided not to take delivery? Given how long the wait's been for most of us, it amazes me when I here folks getting vehicles due to someone before them not taking delivery. Could be a number of reasons i guess, so just a thought. Again, congrats and i hope you can get the gap fixed in a timely manner. And thanks for the update. I'm sure a number of us will be so excited just to get the car we forget to do a detailed walk-through at the showroom.
My specs: OD 10/09; current EDD Apr22-May20
MYLR5 | BLUE | BLACK | 19" Gemini | TOW | NO FSD
Hoping April is a good month (for alot of us!)

In this forum, I have seen 1 recent comment from a July order that has not yet taken Delivery. August list is also going down. While I am an August order, my profile complete was not until Nov and my EDD seems to be in line with that. Not sure why @WhiteWi comment makes him a fanboy.

You guys ready for this.
I had a friend create a Tesla account and reserve a MYP with all features. Why did I do this?
I had a feeling Tesla wanted to deliver first their highest costing cars to essentially make more money. I was willing to lose 250 to test my theory. I had put in my order in October of 2021 for MYLR.
Once the order was in, it said June-July.
Two hours later my buddy got a call from tesla. They said they have a car with the exact specs ready for pickup within two days. My buddy actually gave me the 250 back and went and picked up the car and he's driving it.
How do you like that.
**Side note** He also said the supercharging fees are ridiculous and he regrets it because of this.

Congratulations on your New Y and hope you are enjoying it. If you don't mind sharing can u share a pic of the Panel gap so that we can also watchout for.
Congratulations again
I’m happy for everyone getting their cars, but I’m so happy that the month of March is done after today because then those of us outside CA have a chance of getting our cars (hopefully within the next month or two!). It’s almost been pointless checking my app these past few weeks because it’s not like I was going to be getting a VIN.
Let's hope we get some news after April 7....fingers and toes crossed....
Not sure I believe that much anymore. My OD was 10/29 and current EDD is into September. Haven't changed a thing on my order, haven't had any real interactions with Tesla aside from the occasional email to my SA. At this rate, I wouldn't be surprised to see an October EDD.
If they made that change it may have been only for new orders placed after the change. I didn't see in positive changes in my EDD when I first started seeing that order date theory float around.
