Im following this discussion because I put my order on hold yesterday, through the end of June, because of travel plans. I called customer service within a few hours of being vinned and there was no pushback and rep was able to complete the process quickly, including removing vin. She didn’t know of a time limit for the holds but did mention getting flagged if it’s too long. I now have a blue button in my account which says ‘I’m ready’ but I don’t plan to press it until the very end of the month because I don’t want an eoq rush, etc.
Now I’m slightly concerned about getting flagged because my odd is January ‘21 and my price is almost $30k below current. I’d be super bummed to lose this order as there’s no way I could afford this car at the current price. It’s a dilemma because I can’t practically take delivery this month and If I remove hold too soon, I have a feeling I’ll get re-vinned before eoq.
Because your car is in or destined for Chicago, maybe that’s more of a logistical problem for them vs in my case, I can pick up directly from Fremont and I put the hold on almost immediately after receiving vin.
As with many things Tesla, getting flagged and/or canceled probably depends on who you’re dealing with and other unknown circumstances.
Edit: I looked back in thread and saw they warned you about getting flagged. I guess I’ll just accept whatever happens in that case, including taking delivery this month if I really have to.
