That’s my plan. I ignored the prepare for delivery email. I love my 3 but if the Y is amazing I might be inclined to trade it in, but until I get to sit in/drive one I won’t pull the trigger.

Possible to postpone delivery until I see / test drive the Model Y?

In light of Tesla’s Roadrunner project to create a lighter, more energy dense battery cell, waiting until later in the year may be a better strategy if range is important to you. The Battery and Drivetrain Day is tentatively scheduled for April. We’ll know more then.
Starts a 70K. Goes up from there. Also, production has stopped due to battery availability. Once it resumes it will likely be at a low rate for the US. Meeting the EU EV mandates will be highest priority.

If you want chrome, go for the e-tron, assuming it meets your price point.
The "customer wants what he wants" is apsofuckinglutely hilarious. To get a great BEV, you're going to get to choose from what's offered for quite a long time. No matter how important you think you are.
I’m partial to the wagon form factor. The 3 trunk is large and the back seat area is nice it’s the tiny hole between the two that limits the functionality.
A slightly higher ride height and seating position without giving up a lot of performance is also appealing.
We'll see after I have a chance to sit in it and drive it. At this point I see to just like loaning Elon money I had a day1 3 reservation and didn’t pull the trigger until December of 2018.

FYI: Tesla Model Y
Wheelbase 113.8 in (2,891 mm)
Length 187 in (4,750 mm)
Width 75.6 in (1,920 mm)
Height 64 in (1,626 mm)

As a quick follow up, I got an e-mail and text (then call) about filling in the forms. It mentioned my VIN wasn't ready yet. I responded to the text that I'd like to postpone until a test drive. They replied back to specify what month I want to push it back to. So, it looks like I'm set for a while.
Chances are, I'll just keep my Model 3...until I can put it to work as a robotaxi to pay for the Model Y. Hey, it could happen.

I believe it was $5000 first day, which was when I originally put down a deposit. After my wife got her Niro-EV in August, the Y turned into my possible Model 3 replacement, and I reconfigured to a Performance, at which point FSD was $6000. Maybe I should have called to see if I could keep the original FSD price.

Hmm, it's showing $7k for me.
I was a Day 1 Performance order!
I'll raise those issues at delivery time.
How are you able to see the break down? I can only see the total price for my current configuration. If I try to reconfigure, then it goes to the new prices where I can see the $7000 FSD, and my exact same configuration goes up $1000.
