We'll...
Just got my first real 4 week window. Here's to hoping it's all downhill from here.

That is so crappy- sorry you are getting pushed out. I would say embrace it at this point and as you get close, change your config. and see if you can get into 2023- it could save you $7500. I was starting to convince myself this would be a good thing a few weeks ago and then got a VIN. Best of luck- hang in there.
Christlike, Two weeks ago my EDD went from August 23-Sept 6 to end of November. Today I got my vin and EDD of Sept 11-12. Give the system a day or two to stabilize, maybe it’ll come back sooner.
Spellcheck was not my friend in that post, meant to reply to ChrisUli…. What a rollercoaster the EDD’s are.
A couple of random thoughts now that I’m 6 days into MY ownership.
I’m not sure why every review and reviewer complains that the car is loud. It’s really quiet, on back roads and highways.
I’m not sure why they say it rides hard; I think it’s so smooth and luxurious. I guess when you hit a bump you feel it but I don’t think it’s any worse than any other car I’ve driven.
One pedal driving is my new way of life. Took me about 100/150 miles to get really used to it and comfortable (my safety scores dropped on day 2 as I was so new-car worried, one pedal driving newbie, and range anxietied out … that’s all gone now. 4 straight days of 100 driver score (92 on my worst day).
I used to work for a major car rental company; I’ve owned a 2000VW Jetta, 2006 bmw 330ci, 2009 Honda Accord, 2010 MB c300, and a 2017 BMW X1; this is the most fun and best car i’ve ever driven.
The high beams shut off automatically when another car is oncoming; and the headlights are SO beautiful.
(Free) Autopilot is a freaky thing; until you get comfortable with it and trust… it’s awesome.
I have 250-something miles on the car (got it with 4) and it’s cost me roughly $8 to charge it so far.
I love using the frunk!
More to come I’m sure; to those waiting, just hang in there and be patient. It’s worth it. You’ll enjoy it so much.

So a strange update to my EDD this afternoon…
Was Sept 5-16 now I sit Sep 7-11 I don’t want to get my hopes up but it is exciting!!
Though I am skeptical that they can ship me my car in that time frame but we will see.

I think the ride complaints are because Tesla changed the suspension in both LR and P compared to what it was a year ago. Now they are both softer...I've read people that have a new MYP that rides smoother than their older LR. So that complaint is probably a thing of the past.

Update!!!
So I asked Tesla to reset my financing and apply for a loan cause interest rates may be going up here in Canada.
As I was going through I see I have a “view” button by MVPA…that hasn’t been there before.
Guess what??!!! It has a vin!!!!

No vin in the app just in MVPA on the website

That’s great, now you can check the app every hour or so looking for that appointment step!

People whine and complain because they want attention, or if they happen to be an “influencer” its just click bait.
It’s pathetic.
If you don’t like the vehicle buy something else and quit ur butchin’!

I got financing done, next step is to figure out getting my new plate registered (got a personalized one)
So...my wife is looking at my Tesla app on my phone and says to me, "hey, you have some steps to complete before delivery". I pause and ask if she sees a VIN in the app...and OMG!!!! there it is!
336 days since I ordered (10/1/21) and I finally have a VIN! (Austin build)
So, question time...
1. it's asking for insurance...is it just my current insurance for my current vehicle or do I need to get new insurance for the Tesla and submit that?
2. I am planning to get an auto loan through my credit union, but how do I handle that in the app? Or is that a "call Tesla" situation.
3. Is there anything else I should be doing ahead of time that you can think of?

For me, there are a couple of YouTube channels that I watched that really help acclimate you to the car.
Andy Slye and Everyday Chris have great videos about how to set up your profile and settings. But yeah I agree, make sure you have the accessories you want. I made sure to have the 3d maxpiders, center console organizer, matte screen protector, and a cup holder insert, and the Tesla pet cover for the dogs. Also, if you’re charging at home make on a 14-50 make sure you have the connector!
Also, get a set of jack pads in case you ever need to have someone change a tire or do a rotation; a car jack without them will ruin the battery.

Just picked up last Saturday they just need insurance in your name not for the car. When you get the text you have a vin text back you are getting outside finance they will ask the bank or credit unions name you will be using they will set that up in your profile
So she arrived today 9/2/22 - 3 days early thanks to me having a cashiers check in hand.
I used a check because I was totally expecting quality issues - but she’s perfect. Panel gaps all good. No marks. Can’t believe it. Magical!! Worth the 10.5 month wait.
New door trim + matrix lights.
No charger but they said they will send me one - not a worry for me bc already have a model 3.
Now, off to get Opticoat Pro Plus protection.

Received email with coupon code for a mobile charger. Ordered that as I am going to need it when I visit my parents. Every step forward makes me realized how close we are getting to delivery!
