Isn't that what Giga Shanghai, Berlin and Austin are doing?Why would they spend more money to lower the profit margin when demand is so high and making bigger profit?

Simple... because there is competition... If there's only one manufacturer - sure, it can do whatever it wants. But if there's competitor that is able to resolve the production issue better than you, then this other manufacturer can lower the additional markup and get people to switch to them, and simply make larger profit by selling more than you.I disagree. When this whole thing started (supply and demand issue), manufacturers did not ramp up the production or invest in infrastructure.
Instead, they jacked up the price even more and made higher profit margin unit they sold.

They would spend more money to increase their volume, if they felt competition might take their business away.I disagree. When this whole thing started (supply and demand issue), manufacturers did not ramp up the production or invest in infrastructure.

Can confirm it’s not the same for everyone. I got the original Dec 2 email and lifted the hold 2+ weeks ago (my order was from 2020). My estimate delivery date has been stuck on “TBD” and I have no clue when I’m getting my car. I was mentally prepared to lose my reservation because I’m traveling international most of December, but each day it’s stuck on TBD gives me hopeFrom what I understand, just because you click I'm Ready, doesn't mean you'll get a delivery date in 2021, although it seems likely.

Tesla is likely shifting focus on those that are ready for delivery now vs wasting time (and losing potential sale if they cancel the order) on US that are postponing delivery.Lifted my hold last night and EDD updated to Feb 24 - Mar 24!
This is what getting your hopes up looks like
Just keep an eye on it. Mine was at Jan - Feb for almost two weeks and then I was assigned a VIN on Sunday. I hope you are able to make it.Lifted my hold last night and EDD updated to Feb 24 - Mar 24!

I think all we're seeing is the random results of Tesla's struggle to reign in their scattered order books.Tesla is likely shifting focus on those that are ready for delivery now vs wasting time (and losing potential sale if they cancel the order) on US that are postponing delivery.
I remember you were going to reach out to your SA - did you end up getting a response or are you taking this delivery?Just keep an eye on it. Mine was at Jan - Feb for almost two weeks and then I was assigned a VIN on Sunday. I hope you are able to make it.

That's definitely a factor, and a real one, just not the only one.Common everyone. This is purely dependent on your config. If your config is common enough for your area (delivery center or centers if you are in dense enough area), there will probably be a chance you will be delayed as there are enough takers for the same car. If your config is somewhat unique, where no one else ordered the same car in your nearby area, most likely you will be asked to take it or leave it.
I also ordered in June but did not receive the Dec. 9th ultimatum. However, my SA has reached out to me to tell me I am in the "cancellation queue" and that he expects me to get the 'take delivery or cancel' ultimatum soon.I was in the "Dec 9 ultimatum" email. Original order Jun'21.
Removed the hold Dec 8 and got a VIN this morning (Dec 9). EDD showing Dec 14-20 picking up in Smithtown, New York.
White/White 5 seat, no other options.
