Aug Thread also saw a lot of 1 month pushes also.
Yea, I've seen a lot of 'push back' EDDs lately; including mine. I've got 2 thoughts on the possible rationale.

- TX is (about) close to coming on line. For those of us in the Midwest to East coast regions, Tesla might have just 'moved' the manufacturing schedule from Fremont to Austin; thus, causing the delay push back. Since Austin will focus on the MY's, this would give Fremont 'space' to fill the Hertz model 3 order, if it does get approved/signed.

- Increased amount of pre-orders are increasingly causing the supply chain stress. No matter what model, I'd presume that every model has some of the same parts/chips.

And another shift in the EDD. In the space of three weeks I've gone from 12/24-12/31, to 1/4-2/1, and now back to 12/19 - 12/31. Just as I settled into a comfort level on a January delivery that takes the tax credit decision out of my hands, Tesla jerks me back in to December, with a delivery window that is only 10 days away. Oh well. Looks like they are counting on me to meet the EOQ quotas after all. *Sigh*

That's unreal that your July OD is being pushed that far back. I would assume the vast majority of July orders have been delivered. Really sorry to hear. I would call your SA and/or Tesla delivery service and do a major complaint.
Yep, I agree with andre88223 I've called the toll free line, they weren't helpful. S.A hasn't responded since I placed my order.. All I can do is wait.

Elon's email to employees might also have impact on recent delivery changes. I live in Los Angeles and my Feb-March Delivery is now Jan7-Feb4.
Local CA deliveries probably sooner and out of state later/no rush due to Elon saying be cost efficient instead of end of quarter efficient.
"Amid ongoing port constraints and rising shipping costs, Tesla CEO Elon Musk urged employees Friday, in a company-wide email obtained by CNBC, to look for ways to reduce the cost of delivering electric vehicles to customers, rather than rushing orders out last-minute to hit its end of quarter sales goals."

Appropriate picture to reflect all of our EDD 'rides'
