Look, I'm as frustrated as the next person on this thread. I've been waiting since 2/6/21 with no end in sight. It's obvious that Tesla is having a horrible time getting some parts (i.e. trim pieces, bench seats, headlights, etc) from their suppliers. As mentioned before, I sold my X90D last February in anticipation of receiving my X from March-July (added in a few months to account for elon time). Haven't heard anything from my SA since last fall, emails go unanswered. IOW, in the same boat as you guys. Makes you
.
Here are some other things I'm waiting for:
Daddy bequeathed me several genetic advantages, a throat designed for sleep apnea is one I could have done without. Last summer my c-pap machine died. On top of that, around that time a scandal broke concerning c-pap machines made by another company than the model I have; seems the foam in them breaks off, lodges in the lungs and can cause cancer. I went through 3 months of doctor appointments -- delayed by COVID -- but finally got through all that. I was supposed to get my new ResMed 11 in October. Still not here. Calls to the supplier elicit sympathy, but no new C-Pap. I received a letter in December blaming it on the Phillips problem (Res Med is the only other major supplier) and supply chain problems. "It's been delayed until January," the letter said. January's about done and no sign of it, just expressions of sympathy. I have not had a decent night's sleep since early last summer. I don't recommend trying it.
Ordered a necklace for my SO for Christmas. It was supposed to arrive by 12/12/21. Still haven't seen it.
Sister-in-law gave me a new UGA themed raincoat for Christmas. Didn't fit. They dutifully tried to return it to get the right size. Unavailable and we're talking Medium to Large, nothing weird.
We tried to stock up with home COVID testing kits in December. CVS, Wallgreens, everyone was sold out. You can order 'em now for free, but that wasn't true then.
The entire thing sucks bigly. All of it. I wanna hang some Tesla customer service reps for being uncommunicative. What do I do with the C-pap people (even my doctor making direct pleas didn't help)? What about the store that sells the "made especially for us" necklace? Or Fan wherever that raincoat came from? With Delta raging then and Omicron on the way, didn't those turkeys KNOW there would be a spike in demand for test kits?
Here's who I'm really angry with -- the so called brilliant minds in corporate America. In the 1990s, they were all in on moving manufacturing out of the US to China. "Will make them our friend becoming financially intertwined. We'll be able to deliver our products for less on time. Global is the way to go. Okay, so folks in small towns will lose their jobs as we close local factories, but we'll all come out better in the end."
Let's look at the record: The relationship between China and the U.S consistently grows worse. Workers in China became virtual factory prisoners worked to death. FoxCon literally had to install nets around its factories to catch workers attempting suicide by throwing themselves off the top of their buildings. Do I even have to say anything about "just in time" tactics? We've got millions of angry people in small town America blowing their stacks as their American dream went sideways and getting hooked on opiods.
Now, politicians are starting to say, "Know what? Maybe we should be making our own microchips here in America." Well, duh.
After 2 years sitting mostly at home enduring wave after wave of COVID, and watching all those "wise"proclamations from business leaders 25 years ago blowing up in our faces now, I'm furious. Can't watch the financial channels any more because it gives me dark thoughts about what I'd like to do to those pompous nowhere-near-as-smart-as-they-think-they-are horses' asses in Armani as they share their latest strokes of genius.
I will say this for Tesla. They are as vertically integrated as possible and that helped them get through this better than the other dodos listed above, but they can't make everything. And Tesla's customer communication effort stinks. As we wait...and wait... and wait.
PS Brother can you spare a ResMed 11?
I quit going crazy over my X (haha get it?) anyways cause its pointless. Imma just live my life til whenever it decides to arrive
