I'm in the EDD uncertainty club (May -> July -> June -> June 19-30 -> ???)
Last weekend someone tipped me off to check inventory every morning. A Model Y with <220 miles appeared Monday morning. By the time I tried to register and pay the deposit, someone had snapped it up. The same happened Tuesday. Wednesday, I was quick enough and managed to get one. As it happens, the same spec' as I have on order. White, Black Interior, Enhanced AP and 19" wheels. Another appeared on Thursday and again yesterday. I'm not sure why Tesla are drip feeding them out.
I was concerned that something was wrong with it, so on Friday called and spoke with Tesla. They said there are several reasons for them coming up, but the most common is a lack of research into electric vehicles. People hear the buzz around Tesla, buy, but haven't considered the change that needs to be made to own an EV. They then return them to Tesla.
Anyway, I got the car I want. It was registered in April. It has <200 miles on the clock (I would have done most of that collecting from Southampton). I'm getting for 54k instead of 58.5k as there is no VAT (but Tesla are making a good profit still). Best still, I am getting it next week.
With the uncertainty on the EDDs, if you don't mind a lack of choice in specification and the fact you will not be the first registered owner, check the inventory around 9:30 and save a lot on money at the same time.
If you want to the first owner and pay full price, and you're after an MY W/B/19/EAP, you have just gone up in the queue by 1.
