<Patiently waiting for VIN>
We've gone so much stuff dealing with Tesla while waiting for this car that it's a sore subject at this point. I avoid it in conversation as much as possible (especially since it was my idea).My wife is yelling at me now because of this crap. Ugh.
And it's working in California. A long way to go, but dayum. From Inside EV's:Well the thing is, everybody’s like “oh Tesla is so established and huge now.” (And therefore expectations follow)
But the reality is, Tesla is a BLIP. And Tesla realizes this. They are STILL IN an absolute SCRAMBLE growth phase and will be for a long time. Recall Elon’s presentation where he showed total global car sales versus EV sales. A TINY percentage.
Make no mistake: If Tesla as a company were to stall or begin to falter, let alone crumble, traditional auto mfrs would LOVE to backtrack casually on their electrification plans and future generations would be told “the electric car push wasn’t maintainable”
Tesla must accelerate its growth (quite possibly accelerate its acceleration). So while I think that yes improving the Model X delivery schedule is a good goal, it’s a smaller concern than company growth (and by growth I literally mean survival).
As far as I can see, the only significant transferable benefit re: improving Model X delivery logistics would be that working through this challenge could, I trust, be beneficial for delivery logistics planning of higher volume models.
So the smart peeps have an insider who tells them what’s in stockAgreed. I think someone walks the warehouse and figures out what they have in stock (wheels, interior trim/seat colors, etc) to support the next day's production. Then they figure out to where they can get trucks/trains to deliver the cars. Only then do they look and match up orders to those cars.
The only thing Tesla cares about is delivering as many cars as they can. Everything else is secondary.
Honestly get an S/3/Y for the waitReally frustrated by the new EDD timing. Loyal Tesla customer. Always take delivery of what I order. Now they're saying TWO YEARS to get the car. Come on.
Ditto for a 5 seater LR!My delivery for 7 seats just changed from July to Dec 22 - Apr 23. Really WT?? That will be 2 years since my order pre-refresh
I did that when we got the July EDD. It too has been moving every monthHonestly get an S/3/Y for the wait
I’m chastising myself for not having done so six months ago…..
Original EDD would have been March/April 2021. Are they planning on a time warp or is Tesla just warped?I finally got the scoop. They have run out of ideas to give the S/As to tell us about delays. As soon as they come up with more b/s to tell us, everyone's edd dates will go back to original. They are meeting now.
It's complete and utter BS.Meanwhile my younger brother who just ordered a model 3 a few months ago, got a VIN today with an EDD of 3 days
C. Was I right or was I right?a. Telsa is planning to not honor 7 seat order. (Cancel all 7 seat order).
b. Tesla will provide option to switch to other seat configuration or cancel the order.
c. 7 Seater delivery will be extremely delayed. July EDD will change again by mid May.
d. Tesla will start delivering 7 seater soon, but not anytime soon.
e. A & B
f. None of the above.
Glad for him! Miss our M3.Meanwhile my younger brother who just ordered a model 3 a few months ago, got a VIN today with an EDD of 3 days
