October 2021 Order Delivery Dates

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.
New VINs or deliveries have been suspiciously slow on this thread lately. I only count one new VIN and three delivery dates in the past week. That seems like a slower pace than earlier in June and especially for the end of quarter rush.
Majority of ppl in the EoQ rush have been pushed their VINs, now we wait until the factory builds more and they are ready for distribution. Lull in VIN distribution until then.
 
Well, well, well..... let me start with good news. VIN received. Yes, it did happen.

Now the details.

These days my routines were to check the app and online source for VIN multiple times a day. Last I checked today was around 3:15 PM EST, and of course, there was nothing.

I was driving at around 4:15 PM EST and received a text message. I peeked on my watch, and wallah, it basically said that VIN is assigned. The other day I was asking all of you what you felt when you received this text, so let me tell you how I felt. I found myself smiling for the rest of the drive, but not really over-the-top excitement. Maybe because I was driving or maybe because I have waited for a long time, or maybe because I know things can still go south.

Also, I quickly realized that I didn't know what to do next. In terms of insurance, etc. I'm trying to figure it out and it seems that I can upload my existing insurance in OH.

I also checked with the local store and they told me that car is still in Fremont and expected to arrive around the 24th and will take 2-3 days to get it ready for delivery. Time will tell.

In another week or so, I'll attempt to remove FSD and will see how it goes.

Overall, exactly 8 months after I placed the order, I received VIN. Knowing many of you are still waiting, I can safely say that FSD (added on May 31st) did the job.

Updating everything here since signature can't handle that many characters

MYLR7, OD 10/10/21, PC complete 10/12/21, MSM/Blk (white til 3/25/22), No Tow, Added FSD (5/29/22): Original EDD April; 3/3-3/31; June; 4/4-5/2; June; 3/10-4/7; June; 5/17-6/14; 4/21-5/19; 6/15-7/13; June; 6/7-7/5; June; 6/7-7/5; 5/10-6/14; 5/15-5/29; 6/14-7/19; 6/16-7/14; 7/9-8/13; 6/22-7/6; 6-21-7/5; VIN 465XXX received 6/10/21 at 4:15 PM EST via text; Delivery expected between June 24-28.

All,

I have finally picked it. My experience was great. No fuss. Check your car, note any issues, sign a few papers, and drive out. There are a few panel gaps that someone can be fussy about, but I'm not going to make an issue for a few mm mismatches. Driver-side lumbar support is not working, so I have an appointment to take a look.

Inside feels a lot cheaper than a 60+K car.

I love autopilot, but glad that I didn't fall for FSD, especially since they have just added the EAP option.

7-seater view: This is me looking at 7-seater for the first time and I'm not too fond of those two additional seats. My kids refused to sit. If you want to give them some legroom in that row, then you effectively take it away from the middle row. Well, they are there now, so they can be useful in an emergency.

Major issue: Hate not having ventilated seats; it gets uncomfortable on hot day.

Minor issue: Missing carplay.

Here are the accessories that I have purchased so far:

Hey @WhiteWi thoughts?

Good, customers can use Giga Texas to get their orders faster. It was always back up plan in case new batteries weren’t ready for prime time. Nothing new or shocking.
 
Is anyone contemplating adding the 6K Enhanced autopilot instead of the full FSD? I wonder if that will improve EDDs as well.

I'd get it at $1,000 MAYBE $2,000 but not anything more. FSD and a EAP are all grossly overpriced and always have been.

In other news, absolutely no movement on my EDD in well over a month now, despite escalations and assurances from the senior operations manager for my area that it should be here by the end of June.
 
Too many...... but many of them are subjective.
I’d say the vegan leather is probably the biggest when coupled with the contours of the seats. They are a bit underwhelming at this price point. I came out of a ELR for comparison with the “basketball” colored leather seats. It was a striking cockpit but underwhelming driving experience. I’m driving a MS with black interior and it’s the reverse. The Y on order has white interior which gives it a bit more pop IMO.
