To be fair as a direct order with Tesla you don’t hear much from them either

Think it's a case of treating it with a pinch of salt! Got a colleague who ordered end of June on a Polestar still being quoted January delivery.

I can't comment on how they treat orders with other companies like Polestar. The benefit of Tesla is they mass produce vehicles without having a direct buyer since this is assigned in transit.
Most vehicle makers assign before even starting the production of the car.
When I spoke to Octopus it was mainly about Telsa's since this is what most people wanted to order.

I think there is a strong chance. The ones being pushed back are either M3 MSM paint or later orders.

Just to add even more randomness…my July Blue, Black, 19s LRY had moved into Dec 9th to 31st 2 days ago and now it’s moved forward again to its original date Nov 23rd to Dec 9th.

A friend of mine has the Plaid on order and his leasers advise him Q1 at the mo. I'm not sure how they know that but thought I'd share that info with you

I think what we're seeing with EDDs moving about a bit (mainly backwards!) is what Tesla had mentioned as part of their Q3 Numbers narrative and was repeated by @Mr Miserable over in the Shipping thread - in that they're struggling to find shipping at reasonable prices at the moment "it is becoming increasingly challenging to secure vehicle transportation capacity and at a reasonable cost,"
UK is typically 1 or 2 quarters behind Europe on the release of new vehicles due to being RHD. It would be nice to see that trend disappear but at the moment there is no indication of the imminent arrive of new MS in the UK.
I think that at some point you just become numb to the process. I sold my car on the back of EDD 13-30th Nov (which btw is still the same). Currently borrowing a car to see me through, if it moves it moves and I’ll learn I should have probably waited before shifting mine. Out of my hands.
The only way you can manage the gap is by doing Tesla trade in but then you lose money vs selling yourself.
No right answer!

It could be this, but Europe are not having this problem given the number of ships currently en-route this quarter already.

Very true. It amazes me that Tesla don't proactively communicate changes in EDD. They did text me to tell me my collection point was being changed, but never have for EDD changes. An automated text saying your date has changed is surely not asking too much?!
I ordered M3 pearl white aero SR on 31 Jan 22 and EDD now Jan-March 23...yet if you place an order for a new one now it says the same EDD as mine. Clearly Tesla are false advertising and totally disingenuous about delivery times and/or they want older orders to be cancelled because they'd have to honour the old prices for a new car
Hang fire on everything, we have all had a rollercoaster ride when it comes to EDDs. It may yet change soon
They do sometimes
