On week 3, too late to cancel tow hitch?

[dwooder]

Im on week 3 of waiting and Ive been thinking, I'll probably never use the tow hitch...is it too late to help my Y come quicker? Gah I thought waiting on my second Tesla would be easier!

 

[Ruffles]

Same here. Week 3 waiting for a VIN. I keep thinking if I call them up and say I'll take one with our without a hitch, would I get it any faster?

 

[dwooder]

Haha yep, I want to call them too....you call first.

Is it better than to order the car without the hitch installed and pay the extra $100 afterwards to get the hitch with a followup appointment (which seems to be required at least once after delivery it seems)

 

[Ghanziang]

I believe it is $200 additional to have it installed afterwards. I have seen people be most successful by calling their local delivery center and letting them know you are open to multiple options. If they have a car that they had delivered to the delivery center but is not delivered to the customer for various reasons, they may be able to pass that car to you.

Would be nice if there was the option to take delivery of the order without the hitch installed and the understanding that it will be installed at a service center visit. Seems silly to have to pay an extra $200 to take delivery a little (or maybe a lot...) earlier.

I just got my VIN: LR, MSM/Black, No FSD, Tow. 35xxx. June 28, 2020

I was offered a no-tow last week, but thought I’d wait it out. Glad I did.

SoCal...will be taking delivery at Buena Park. We picked up my wife's MY (LR, Red/White, No FSD, No tow) on 07/22 and it was in great condition. The folks at Buena Park were great to deal with, as well.

Hoping for a repeat with mine, haha!!

Congrats, hope you have a good pickup.

Well I called them, they said it wont make a difference taking the hitch off now, said I will will receive the car in September...I didnt push anything harder....sad face...oh well

Did you choose Buena Park? I took delivery at Marina Del Rey in 2019 and didn't like the service at all! Curious if there is a thread I can find about the best delivery centers in SoCal.

When I ordered, that was the closest to my house (next closest was Burbank).

The actual location looks a little run down...hard against the 5 fwy, and of course the lobby/showroom is barren of chairs/tables due to COVID.

But the delivery folks were great. Prompt, professional, willing to help. I like that they had the car unlocked and turned on so you can go over it very carefully. Never felt rushed.

I would wait. My wait time about about 5 weeks from order to delivery + being on the East Coast. Timeline is in my sig.

 

[dwooder]

Just got an automated text saying 5-8 weeks..., its already been 3, hopefully it was just late and doesnt mean 5-8 from now.

 

[merpderp]

They're producing hitches now. Ordered 8/2, and I'm taking delivery 8/8. Blue/All Black/Induction/Hitch/AP. Bay Area. VIN 34xxx. my DS said they're building at factory.

I waited 3 months just to get a VIN.... Ordered 05/03 and got VIN 07/31

Same here. It says 5-8 from today and ordered 1 week ago. Hopefully it was a late text

 

[Ruffles]

Interesting. I just got my text that says 2-4 weeks but no VIN shows up yet. The wait is killing me. The Y youtube crowd needs to make more videos because I've watched them all and now I need a fix
