I've experienced just the opposite in California. I used to have to worry about waiting or stalls that were out of order. In the last few years, the capacity has skyrocketed yet usage hasn't because it's been a few years since they offered FUSC so now most of the population is only charging when they must on long road trips or live in apartments. I'm also assuming apartment dwellers are less incentivized now to buy Tesla's since they the can only charge at superchargers which is more expensive than charging at home.

The date range means nothing. I've gotten those twice only to have them move back to October each time.

it's just your luck but no need to remind that the date range means nothing. The hope is the date range for quite few 5 seater orders have been happening the past week may lead to VINs.

Repeat message - I would like your help please.
I just got a change in my delivery date from July to the second half of March. This is a 5 seater LR (see my signature for details.) No VIN has been assigned.
My question: I might want to put the car on hold - when in the process is the best time to call and put on hold? After VIN assignment or before?
What is the longest hold that you think I can get away with - I want to shoot for November 1st, if that's possible (so that would be a 7 month hold). I had previously read that the new policy is a 90 day maximum hold - anybody get away with more than that recently?

Order: 2/6/21 DC: Kennesaw, Ga Blue, LR, 5 seat
Elon said once the best time to take delivery is one of the very first off the line OR one after the production line has ramped. Problems tend to crop up during the actual ramping. The first ones off the line get heavy duty inspections looking for problems, therefore the odds they catch everything are higher.
some people here had Tesla tell them either come to pickup in 3 days or get to the back of the line, some were successful with the 90 days...best thing is to call Tesla once you have a VIN and get something in writing. because you might not get the car before deep into 2023.
Tesla has a great financial incentive to have you cancel and reorder
Thx — this is helpful to those of us who are determined to have Tesla replace our existing yokes.
Off topic. Sorry but quick question. I’m buying the model X. Debating buy vs leasing the fsd. When I decide to trade my car back to tesla for newer one, will they include full current value of fsd to my tradin value? If so kinda a no brainer to buy fsd vs lease right? Providing I am in fact selling back to tesla or private so the fsd sticks with car.

MXLR/BLK/Cream/20"/FSD Delivered 6/15/22 Flawless
Now, this has me worried given the pile up of Model Xs sitting on the Test Track at Fremont coupled with the slow deliveries. Clearly, things are not going to plan regardless of supply chain issues and it doesn't look like it's getting resolved given the myriad of problems new owners are encountering. I know that lately people are saying that their deliveries are better, but it's hard to tell given the mix of old and new VINs. Hopefully, it gets resolved but it's hard to believe after a year+ of this s-storm.
Some effective “de-worming” at work

The 3 days you mention is very scary for me indeed. I will be on vacation through July/August and though slim, what if EU VINs start posting then and a delay period for delivery is not acceptable? It is an easy incentive indeed for Tesla to refund your €100 & push you back as the demand will peak by then… any recommendations/advise from previous EU bookings or experiences on delaying delivery to share?
I think this is one best discussed and taken in writing from Tesla(if they agree
) to be on the safe side! worse case scenario, does Tesla do a home drop off with no delivery acknowledgment (if they cite space limitations as a constraint)
After 13 months and 7 days I received a Delivery Date of March 28.
For those in the know:
When does the price "increase " from 5 seat to 6 seat fall off?
And do the MaxPider mats in my current X fit the new one? (Going from 5 seat to 6)
If not, what does?
Thanks!

I hope that’s the case with my 2021 field model refresh delivering on the 23rd! Built October 13th.
It’s my 1 year order anniversary. Seems like LR and Plaid deliveries are increasing, and the reviews are getting more and more positive. Trying to keep the good energy going. Happy for all those have gotten cars and Vins, hopeful the rest of us join you soon!
