September 2021 Order Delivery Dates

[Tesraki]

Woke up to my delivery date changing from 12/25-12/31 to 1/13-2/10. Was 12/25-12/31 for several weeks. Very disappointing.

Dammit. You made me look at my account and it has changed from December 15-31 to January 4 - February 1.

It got pushed back and widened from two weeks to almost a month. I'm very surprised considering I live 70 miles from the Fremont factory and would be low hanging fruit for the end of quarter push. But some other Californians on here saw their EDD pushed back too, so I shouldn't be surprised.

What I would really like is certainty, so I can plan on when to sell my current car. At least I would qualify for the tax credit, if it should pass, which is looking less likely.

EDD to East coast (MA) just changed from Dec 17-31 to Feb 8 to Mar 8...was previously Jan 10-Feb 3.

I am quite startled to see a 9/10 order move from December to as late as March in a matter of 8 days in 2 successive EDD updates. There is no rhyme nor logic to such vast changes in EDD. A parrot reading tarot cards would do a better job than the Tesla EDD scheduling system.

I would not recommend taking any action based on the flimsy EDD system. Once you get your VIN, then would be the time to start taking quotes, moving funds etc. I am very skeptical that the BBB will pass this year. It is already December. If they attach income considerations like they have in for electric bikes, a majority of those in these forums are unlikely to qualify.

I wonder what the over/under is that we all wake up tomorrow and our dates are back in December?? I wouldn't be surprised, and I can't but think there are going to be more dramatic shifts and changes before we all get our VINs...

 

[45thParallel]

More likely than not. I had time to go through June-July-August threads. Tesla is forcing those who booked early but had hold or updated their profile late are being pulled from February/March to giving them straight a VIN. This has also resulted in pushing to January some August booking with a Jan-Feb EDD. Earliest I can expect a VIN is mid-January.

Except that this thread shows quite plainly that there is no shortage of takers. There are probably a dozen people just here who'd take delivery at the first opportunity in December and damn the torpedoes. That's reiterated in Model 3 threads, etc. Tesla's recent wave of 2-3 month EDD delays isn't being driven by people postponing orders (otherwise all of us listed for December a week back and keen to take deliver would still be listed for December). It's simply because Tesla hasn't invested the resources to design a system that comes close to working.

The people on these threads are not representative of typical Tesla buyers. Not even close. We are more emotionally invested in the vehicles. And a tiny, tiny fraction of those with orders in. Otherwise you would see comments from literally hundreds of thousands of people here.
And..more typical buyers, it seems certain, are statistically more likely to take a reasonable chance at $8,000 as far too serious to blow off.

Unwanted update this morning - EDD slipped back to Feb 12 - Mar 12.

 

[SpadeFire]

I now have a EDD of Dec 17-31 that was Jan 7-Feb 7. I still don't have a VIN so not sure if their 2 week timeline estimate will still be accurate.

I agree with you. Wife and I had a discussion about the possible tax credit and placing a hold on our delivery as it was 2-3 months before we expected. In the end, I'd rather not take the chance of getting the order canceled on the possibility of the tax credit passing. The delta between what we paid, and the current price leaves 3k on the table IF the credit passes.

With a 7 seater car order, you need the grace of God or Elon

Lol I feel that's what's killing me; I don't even have any other crazy config, just standard wheels, white int/ext. Need that miracle.

 

[sourcecode9391]

I am sure they will bump up all the early Sept Deliveries. I am only few days behind you and am sure we will be included in EOQ rush.
I am sure we will see change in our EDDs by Mid Dec for sure.

Fingers crossed! Although Elon did tell his team to take it easy with the EOQ rush; I hope they don't take it tooo easy.

Fingers crossed for of us. I just checked this morning and my EDD moved from Feb 10-Mar 10 to Dec 19-31. Hopefully this is a good sign. Also means I won't have to get my car inspected as it expires this month.

It’s tough... and that is totally fair....your delta at least helps, and makes a decision to accept delivery before there is a decision from Congress more palatable .... I would be leaving , $6K on the table, but my EDD is early March, so I almost feel the decision is out of my hands. Almost.

My main point was, things are going to get a little nutty for Tesla and maybe us if BBB arguing goes into January.

 

[Vaildriver]

After 6 weeks saw some movement today! Bumped back a month, which still puts it within the expected "February" delivery time-frame that was noted on the order date.

I'm also in the same boat as some of the others. If the EV credit was a sure thing, I would certainly delay for a bit. But I spoke to my wife (and some of my friends who work in congress) and they are not feeling optimistic on it passing this year. If it goes into next year, there's going to be more focus on midterms and then who knows. I'd rather not stress about losing my order.

Although, I'm sure right after I type this, they'll pass the bill and our car will get delivered tomorrow.

That is awesome! Mine hasn't changed yet, I'm hoping sometime this week!

One of the very rare occasions, when a 7 seater has come earlier than forecast. Enjoy!

 

[pgcoco]

No change in EDD today either, its stuck Jan - Feb.
At times I think its good, maybe I can get the credit then hearing all whats going on I am like give me my car now.

It's possible. It's also possible they gut the EV credit or don't pass the bill at all.

When we ordered in Sep, the credit wasn't a factor. It would be nice but it didn't sway the purchase.

My 11/10/21 model y order that was supposed to be March/April 22 now coming 12/16/21. I refused as I stipulated that I did not want to order until 4086 batteries from Austin would be available. Tesla rep said I would be golden. He was wrong. BTW I did not get an email or text. I found out by going to the website and checking order status because the estimated delivery date disappeared!
