Hi all!
First post here. Ordered 23/11 in LA.
Performance /w Grey Rims
White Exterior, Black Interior
No FSD
Made it clear to my SA when I placed the order that I'm heading out for the year on 12/12, and he seemed confident that I'd be set. I wouldn't mind having to pick it up when I'm back (early January), but now it seems like I might get pushed to March if I can't pick up this year? Don't see any sense in holding my order if that's the case. Especially frustrating because my SA has repeatedly told me there aren't any stealth options available over the last few weeks. Ho hum. We'll see, I suppose. There's no VIN yet.
I had a similar situation to yours. Ordered 8/29 and had a delivery scheduled for 9/17 but could not pick up due to being out of town. Finally got reassigned a VIN on 12/2 - the wait has been agonizing for sure. I was told they would only hold the car up to 3 days back in September. I'm not sure how much the Model Y will affect production for the 3s, but there's a potential you'd be waiting until March.
