I put in a reservation for a black 7-seat Model Y long range in November of 2021 and the EDD kept slipping. Last time I checked it was supposed to arrive in mid September to mid October. Then on Friday the app suddenly showed a VIN (520445) and I started getting texts and phone calls from the local delivery center. Suddenly things went from delivery in one or two months to having 72 hours to accept delivery. I had planned to move some money around and see if I could pay cash for the car, but that went out the window since the 72 hours was mostly over the weekend. Luckily Tesla financing approved me almost instantly on Friday so despite the lack of notice I was able to pick up the car today. I also thought about trading in my current car (my beloved 2013 Model S) and got a trade in offer remarkably quickly on Saturday ($19,300 for a 2013 Model S 85 with 134,000 miles), but when I went to get the title I realized a) it wasn't filed with the titles for our other vehicles and b) the reason I didn't have the title was that the finance company never properly released the lien when I paid off the loan for the car in 2018. Definitely not something that can be taken care of in 72 hours. But the story still has a happy ending since I picked up the Model Y today and so far I am really happy with it and so are both kids and the wife
