Rejecting or Delaying delivery

[TomServo]

A neighbor was just notified his car could be delivered between May 26th and June 10th. No VIN has been assigned. He needs to delay delivery until 1 July in order to get the newly approved $4K EV rebate here in Illinois. So his question how can he delay his deliver until after 1 July should his car become available sooner?

I’m not able to answer this for him.

Thanks for my friend.

If it were me, I’d wait to see if I received a VIN and if the timing worked for my schedule. If it doesn’t work, then call my SA or Tesla, explain my situation, and ask to have my order placed on hold. Then release the hold after July 1st.

How long can a HOLD last?

I’ve read folks on this site who had holds for months. The order holder releases the hold using the Tesla app.

I declined since I had hoped for a PY out of Austin and told they why.

After a month it was remove the hold or lose my deposit. It bought me two months, but it's a one-time hold and I have to accept delivery next time.

I ordered mine in January with at that time EDD June - July. In late Feb I got an email telling me it was ready for pickup, I presume it was one someone else had declined that had my specs. I was nowhere near ready (loan, sell my car, busy work schedule etc) and they would only let me hold it for a week. My case was probably different as the car was at the service center ready to go.
