October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

[Andrew Smith]

Yep, took delivery 2 weeks ago and noticed it while detailing my car last week. I thought Tesla resolved this issue on white cars so I didn’t pay attention to it on delivery inspection. I know from a YouTuber who had this issue, Tesla wasn’t able to get it completely resolved because the bumper and the rest of the body being made of different materials and all that….. Im also goin to show them but personally don’t have the confidence that they’ll get it right or not mess something up in the process.

Keep me posted on what you decide to do and if they do fix it to your satisfaction.

Will do. Read somewhere that they have few bumpers in standby in case there’s color mismatch.

Day 17 after VIN... Finally called them today and was still told "in transit". Our dedicated SA won't answer the phone, and when asked earlier this morning (before we called our DC), was just told the generic thing about truck driver shortages. I would think if it's in transit, that wouldn't be the situation at this point, unless it's due to changing hands somewhere while in transit. Regardless, we pushed back on the SA again and waiting for more real info, instead of a generic response. (I know, good luck with that). After being on the phone with them, our "TBD" delivery date has finally gone back to a date range, although that's kind of meaningless at this point. 5/31 (today) through 6/6. So for those of you who are less fortunate and don't have a VIN yet, just be prepared - there's more "fun" to come even after you get your VIN.

Update: Got a little bit more in the way of details. Confirmed that the car is on the way and left Fremont. It's been in an "in transit" status for at least a week now. It will change hands a few times along the way. They're currently thinking it will arrive the 1st or 2nd week in June.

It seems there’s not a lot of VINs being assigned this week. Hopefully June will be another end-of-quarter flurry.

Good luck to you. At this point Tesla doesn't even know where my car is and delivery is scheduled for this Friday, LoL.

In Seattle, ordered 10/29/21, LR MSM, Gemini wheels. For the past couple months it just says June ("June Jail"). I asked my SA and they said that's the latest estimate. With June coming up, anyone have any luck getting a VIN/delivery? Thanks.

I got the "truck driver shortage" message today after they delayed my pick-up date. Did you just keep pushing until you got more info from the SA? I was told there's a truck driver shortage and that they would have to use other means of transportation that are slower and less reliable. When I asked about the other types of transportation, they said they only use trucks and rail road cars. I then asked how mine would be delivered. That's when the SA stopped responding.

Just got this text, “Your car is currently in transit from northern CA to southern CA, but we are unable to get GPS locations while they are on the train. (VIN #) was built with Tesla-specific Pirelli P Zero Elect summer tires.”

Guess it’s on a train to SoCal. Was hoping for the Michelin all-season tires…

Yep, we just had to get pushy.

2. I was wondering that myself. As I've yet to receive the car. Read a bit online and I bought a SanDisk high endurance SD card with a USB adapter so I can plug it into the glove box USB slot. I made 3 partitions. 1 for dashcam, 1 for sentry mode and 1 for music/horns/everything else. From what I read, the car should recognize each partition as a "separate" USB device being plugged in. I'm supposedly getting my car June 2nd so I'll let you know if that works

I thought sentry mode and dashcam used the same folder? How did you tell your car it was two partitions?

I don’t have the car yet. Scheduled for June 2nd delivery.I Just realized they do share the same folder. I updated my partitions to TeslaCam, boombox and music. Someone posted a video to it in prior page, 251.

FINALLY! Just got my VIN assigned at 7:10 PM (PT) today after waiting what feels like AGES! Didn't show up in the app right away, I got the text first, then it showed on the website.

Fremont build. Black MY LR, 5 seats, no options. Hope everyone gets theirs soon!

Seems like I am the one of the last few in the quiet Sept order thread. Feeling jealous of the VINs. still have months to go.

Can someone who has a car check if they can hear any audio if playing back music or videos within the browser app when parked? I tried both SoundCloud and Reddit, and I don't hear any audio in either which is really weird. For what it's worth, I'm on software version 2022.12.3.3.

I am trying to get Android Auto working via TeslAA and while it is working pretty well, the lack of audio with my browser makes all of it a bit moot at the moment.

I am beginning to sour a bit on the entire Tesla UX. It is "fine", but very very restricted in comparison to what I could do with a shitty Toyota rental (equipped with Android Auto) I had on a recent business trip.

Got a VIN!!!!
NF461
EDD now June 3-7

Me too, placed order Oct,2021. Now the EDD is September without any window.

Nevermind; updated this morning to 9/4 to 10/16.

Don’t get the hopes up.

What's your profile compete date?

We can actually estimate Model Y production (very roughly) using the Teslike spreadsheet. While it doesn't have a lot of data points, it can give us a sense of how many VINs they run through per month by looking at the "VIN range by VIN month" tab. Presuming, of course, that they assign VINs sequentially, then if we exclude outliers and focus on the clusters on the spreadsheet, here's what we get:

Month	Lowest VIN range	Highest VIN range
Jan 2022	352,000	372,000
Feb 2022	372,000	393,000
Mar 2022	391,000	412,000
Apr 2022	413,000	433,000
May 2022	432,000	455,000

So it kinda looks like they're producing ~20K/month in Fremont, which is remarkably close to @bluewhite79's estimate of 700/day.

That same tab also corroborates my earlier speculation that the spreadsheet is tracking only a very small percentage of deliveries -- on the right side there's a count by VIN range, which (so far) doesn't show any range of 1,000 having more than 9 data points (0.9%). Many are fewer than 5/1000 (0.5%), and some ranges don't even appear (e.g. 441,000 and 443,000).

OK, I think I'm done being a math/stats nerd for the moment.

Yes, this make sense, according to what I found: Tesla's Fremont factory has the potential to produce up to 500,000 Model 3/Model Y a year, if the production of 3 and Y are even, so probably 250,000 Y/year, around ~20k/month.

I too am in June jail.

In this way, I am in September jail. (Ordered on 10/14/2021)

What's your profile compete date?

I built my profile months before I ordered the car and finished it the same day I ordered; up to payment bc I’m financing.

I think in the past I should’ve put “cash” in but it’s too late now. In think the profile complete theory overall is overhyped at this point. I don’t see many white interior with inductions and tow going out right now.

Crazy how it can pull in 3 months and then go back out in less than a week.

Also, when I got to a couple weeks before EDD time back in February I had financing all set and cleared and it still pushed to September/October.
