Spotted! Who is waiting for a Y or a 3 in Ottawa/Montreal?

Tesla is stuck with over 10,000 cars on factory hold, resulting in a logistical nightmare

Tesla has over 10,000 electric cars that came out of Fremont Factory on a “containment hold” and can’t deliver them...

At least it looks like it minor enough that they can drive the cars on to trucks and ship them to the service centres. I'd rather have my car at the SC waiting for a part for a few weeks before delivery, than not having it built this quarter and having to wait until end of September to get it.

Yeah, but no guarantee as to when the parts will be available. Could be in for a long wait.

It's not a part. It's a firmware update moving away from radar to purely camera. "Tesla Vision" It's been updated this week so deliveries should ramp up

Hmmm..... does that the containment hold was for the software (doubtful), or because the cars were ‘missing’ their radar components? Either way, weird.

There were reports of updated being pushed to many cars on lots yesterday. We're already seeing some people in Ottawa and Montreal suddenly getting a VIN assigned with delivery estimates of May 25-28. Those have to be for cars that are already here. The lots will empty out this week, I'm sure.

Ohhh I hope I get mine soon then. Kinda want to drive by the Ottawa lot and see what's there...

Yeah, I just drove by and saw them all. My Silver M3 MUST be there!

Ouch, now I'm seeing 3-13 weeks... I'm thinking either I get it in June or it will be in September!

I ordered my grey MY LR on April 3rd. Date disappeared for a month and came back two days ago for June 10-June 27 time frame. Today, like you, I'm getting 3-13 weeks. I'm really hoping mine is in the lot somewhere and the actual date is much sooner. Hard to believe there are that many buyers in Ottawa area.

 

[TheRFMan]

It seems that in most cases, the estimates in the account pages are the same as those for new orders. Perhaps a system glitch, not sure. Mine is 3-5 weeks, same as in the configurator for a M3P.

What was a delivery window of 28-1 has now been replaced as the 2nd, was the earliest window to take delivery, but I’m all set now with a vin officially and delivery incoming. Yay!

 

[L31101]

My delivery date finally changed to June 01 - June 06. The waiting is almost over.

 

[TheRFMan]

Mine updated to June 12-24. Still a bit of time to go, but that's the smallest window I've seen to date.

I had to go to Barrhaven Best Buy this morning (managed to snag an Xbox Series X, which is even harder to get than a Tesla these days, lol!) so I stopped by the Tesla location. Lots of activity, looks like almost 20 cars were up font ready for delivery, and at least 3 clients in the delivery process. There were some cars in the back lot and near the service area being prepped and charged. Seems like there had been a significant turnover of cars compared to last Sunday.

Still more model Ys than 3s, and a really nice white/white Model Y performance on the back lot. Got my hopes up when I saw a white Tesla with a spoiler from afar (I have a M3P on order with the exact same colours), only to find out it was a Y when I got closer. More LR 3s are showing up. I saw 4-5 in the back. No M3P at all unfortunately.

A lot of cars in the back lot had stickers with May 17/18/19 build dates, so it looks like 10 day transit time from Fremont at most.

Mine jumped to that last night as well. Now I'm refreshing looking for a VIN.

 

[L31101]

Got my VIN 185*** and delivery date of June 5. Things are finally coming together.

Grats! I'm hopeful that I'll see a VIN before I wake tomorrow morning.

LOL, we know it's getting bad when we're seeing VINs in our sleep

It worked! Woke up to a VIN and a scheduled delivery date of next Saturday. This will be a long week for me.

Spotted another bunch of Teslas heading East from Toronto.
Wifey took the photos this time.
