my rep is back to work tomorrow. The holding pattern I’m in now is , my second PRESENTED vin that was in my account page disappeared, but it’s still in the source code. My delivery date of tomorrow is now off my account and it says the standard BS “2 weeks from order date” line. I have absolutely no indication of any delivery date. I’m most likely waiting with everyone else for several weeks

Other manufacturers may provide a better overall customer service experience. But until they have something to match Tesla's supercharger network I would not feel comfortable buying a non-Tesla EV.
Eventually the rest of the auto industry will figure it out, but who knows how many years from now that will be. While Tesla is beginning to roll out their V3 supercharger network, others are trying to get third parties to roll out an infrastructure to work on any EV, which is having limited success so far.

If I had to guess, they will quickly strike some IP agreement to all use the same standard. It’s chaos not to - every manufacturer can’t be dumping capital into their own proprietary charging network. They stand to benefit from working together
everyone accepts gas the same way and can go to any gas station. Every computer takes USB inputs. I’m sure they will go universal on charging over time as well
Agreed, the supercharger network is top notch and hard to beat.
I have found in my own personal life, I only do a Supercharger required trip once a year if that. And because I am lucky to live in EV land, at least one of those routes are already fully covered by high speed chargers of other networks (LA to Vegas). The other route I drive (LA to Phoenix) is only missing one piece which is already under construction at the Quartzite Love’s. They are at least 3 charger stations, which while not great, is at least not the scary “only 1 plug at your critical stop kind”. Electrify America appears to have really ramped up construction in the last year. We will see how well they maintain it I suppose.
I actually want a Tesla CCS adapter so I can use this network and not have to rely on only superchargers.
Well about that.
Today I called to see if I could pick up my car early. Appointment is scheduled for tomorrow but I'll be in the area later today so figured I'd try since the delivery center is about 45 mins from my house.
Person on the phone proceeds to tell me that the rim was scratched during delivery and it won't be fixed until Monday. New delivery appt scheduled for Tuesday.
Fine, I've dealt with Tesla enough to know you're probably never gonna have a smooth delivery experience. No justifications. Tesla has the worst new buying experience hands down.
Oh yea, this is my second Tesla to have this kind of issue. First one (Model S) had a dent that needed to be repaired.
Yet, I love these cars. There should be some official psychosis designated to Tesla owners who succumb to this punishment more than once.
you know what chaps me about that story? It’s not that they scratched your rim. It’s annoying, but I can accept accidents happen.
it’s the fact you had a scheduled delivery for tomorrow, and if you hadn’t proactively called them, they wouldn’t even have told you the delivery wasn’t happening!! Who knows if they intended to call you. You probably would have driven all the way up there
why not call the customer the second it happens? People plan their lives around this stuff. Tesla just acts like their product is God’s gift to humanity and they don’t give two ****’s about the customer
did you ask if they ever were planning on telling you !??
Nah, I really got more things going on in my life than to obsess over it. Had I not called and went there for no reason tomorrow, that would have been a different story.
And the really sad part, I would never put up with any of this with another automaker/dealership.
I did search for alternatives before deciding on another Tesla. There really are none that were in my budget. Yes, there are comparably priced alternatives. But I will claim my vanity and admit I couldn't see myself driving around in any of the them.
I can't wait for 2030 to get here so we can at least choose what kind of nonsense we're gonna deal with.
I'm hoping the Mercedes Vision EQS concept makes it to production. Budget be damned, I'm going to pick up a second job at McDonalds to get that.
What a coincidence - I just happened to see that prototype in a YouTube video. It does look insane
but agreed - Tesla thankfully has disrupted the market and pulled the other players kicking and screaming. In 10-20 years this sort of frustration won’t be an issue, because there won’t be room to tolerate it

Next year? The only one I've heard of is the Mustang, which is an SUV. So, probably a Model X competitor, probably similar price too.
But neither the Model S nor Model X are the future of Tesla's entry into the mass market. No doubt there will be similar priced/featured competitor for the Model 3/Y, but not for a few years. In the meantime, Tesla will dominate this market. I can't see the Nissan, Chevy, Kia, Hyundai and (maybe) VW making a serious dent in Tesla sales.
Our hope is that Tesla can improve the customer buying experience. A lot of these issues probably stem to Tesla being forced to cut costs. If they can maintain profitability, that pressure should dissipate in the name of customer happiness.
Yes, that one. It is rumored to be a Model Y competitor not an X competitor.

Based on the latest spy shots and the teaser from Ford, I think it will be a crossover vs an SUV

We'll have to wait for the reveal to know for sure. But they are rolling out an SUV, not a crossover like the Model Y. It may be priced similar to the Model Y and have similar performance, but size? Usually, an SUV has a truck-like platform vs. the car platform of a crossover. It also has a body-on-frame vs. the crossover's unibody. It's debatable that the Model X is even an SUV since it is unibody. But it's certainly larger than the Model Y.
Probably Ford is following the same tactic at Tesla, especially if it's smaller like the X. Will the Mustang be able to handle rocky, uneven, muddy etc terrain? Can it really go offload? We'll find out soon.
I think it is going to be a crossover based on this teaser: The Future Arrives on Nov. 17: Watch Our All-Electric, Mustang-Inspired SUV Take Shape | Ford Media Center

I think you are probably right. I can't imagine a Mustang as large as the X, even those huge, ugly ones from the 70s.
Update - now a delivery date has again populated on my account (no text though?) and I didn’t choose it
the first time I got to choose. This time it just showed up
vin is still in source code but not on page
ordered October 13– November 5 is the delivery date I see. This saga keeps getting more odd

Tesla also recently “accidentally” sold the car I was supposed to be picking up this weekend to someone else. Not sure how this happens, or how they are so bad at managing their inventory. What makes things even worse is that I had to figure this out on my own. Noticed the VIN magically disappeared from my account, called to check that my delivery date was still good to go. Was put on 10 mins hold only be told that they no longer had a vehicle for me because it was sold by mistake. Pickup date scheduled for a few days later without there actually being a vehicle available for me and no one reaches out???
The delivery and sales teams apologized to me profusely, but someone else had already taken possession of the vehicle so there was nothing they could do. So far they haven’t offered me any recourse, just apologies, which is great but unfortunately does absolutely nothing for me at this point. I’ve already sold my old vehicle in preparation for receiving my Tesla, and wait times are now 5-9 weeks.
Was super excited about this whole thing, now am having second thoughts.
