Mine has, as with everyone's, also changed as of this morning. Mine is now Dec 19-31. I ordered on 8/31. It looks like we're both in for that end of Q4 rush of deliveries. I got my last one on 6/23, the end of the Q2 rush here in Burbank.
It’s so awesome to know I’m not the only one. I’ve stopped calling Sahara at this point
such a roller coaster
It being set to payment in full helps speed things along. Once you get your VIN you can ask your SA to switch it to finance and you're all good to go. Its possible your SA or someone at Tesla did it for you? Not entirely sure though.
Yes, what Megan says agrees with what I heard from my SA. I sent my payment to "cash" or what ever they had it labeled as, and completed everything I could. Once the VIN is issued you can always update the payment method if needed. My EDD has bounced back and forth by about a month, but has been been pretty stable otherwise. I'm sure location has something to do with it as well. I'm located pretty close to the Fremont factory, so that probably helps.
I just called earlier today and I was told delivery time is not affected by payment method.
About getting an LFP M3 - Couldn’t find any discussion of this but, I have had a 2020 SR+ M3 from Aug 2020, driven a couple of trips over 400 miles from home, not very difficult with basic supercharger planning. Thinking of an a new M3 but for me I can’t justify the $8K difference going up to LR. Used car prices very high making an upgrade a consideration. Would love to be able to select an LFP battery from the beginning though, or order a new SR+ now hoping there will again be an offer from Tesla to switch to LFP, but maybe that’s a gamble. I think the ability to charge an LFP to 100% continually is a real bonus.
There is always a lag at the beginning of a quarter. They need to catch a breath or two after the massive end-of-quarter rush they just went through.
LMAO im afraid i'm going to be in the same boat... and also wasting lots of time tooI ordered at the end of August. SR+, 18" Aeros, Gray/White interior. My EDD was Dec 19 to Jan 5.
This morning? BOOM! Feb 21- Mar 21!
I don't mind too much because I'm more likely to get an EV tax credit. On the other hand, I am liable to burn a lot of time between now and then reading Tesla articles and browsing for accessories.
From what I can tell, most if not all the LFP cars were picked up from inventory. I also haven't seen any recent reports of people picking up LFP cars. My gut says they shipped over a batch of LFP batteries to solve a supply crunch, and now that that issue has passed (or the battery packs are no longer the limiting factor) they are only using the NCA packs.
My LFP sticker shows 262 miles, so it may now be impossible to tell whether an inventory vehicle is an LFP or NCA vehicle without looking at the charge screen or checking the weight.
I found an LFP vehicle in inventory. At that time you could tell the LFP vehicles as the inventory listing showed 253 miles of range. However, when I picked up my car, the sticker showed 262 miles of range. I expect all of the inventory listings now show 262. (I’m confident I have an LFP because of the vehicle weight and the fact that the charge screen does not show the “daily” and “trip” limits.). My point is that you may still be able to get an LFP vehicle from inventory, but you may need assistance from Tesla to identify which ones are LFP. I suggest using the chat feature online.
Wow. That’s amazing. I ordered on 10/2 and my delivery specialist is telling me hope for end of year but plan for end of March.
