To be fair, they had an existing inventory order of exactly what I wanted. So technically I didn’t build it. When I reserved it, it already had a VIN and an estimated delivery date of 7/28-8/4.

Even most credit unions are 5-7% it looks like. Thank inflation/fed rate hikes.
I'm in much the same situation - don't have a delivery date yet and I'm rapidly approaching the day I turn into a pumpkin until the end of September. I'm replying in hopes of keeping this question in front of more eyes. Tesla's terms for delivery seem to offer no wiggle room, but is it possible to be represented at delivery by someone carrying a notarized power-of-attorney?
States may be different, and my case was in 2021. My Parents bought a Y for cash with no trade-in. They live in a state with no Tesla delivery, so they decided to have it delivered to a service center in my state (MN). The delivery date moved up to before they had planned to travel here. I was able to pick it up for them. They just had to accept the car in the app.
Update:
MYLR
Midnight Silver
19" Wheels
5 Seat - White Interior
Tow Package
OD: July 30
ODD: August-September 2023 (Delay)
EDD: TBD
VIN: TBD
Bad news. Looks like delivery slipped. Hope I can still take delivery by 9/30 before FSD transfer expires. And of course trade in value will probably go down further… bummer.

Don't have an "official" delivery day yet in the app, but today via text (when I finally got a response about accepting the financing terms; answer: I can wait), I was just told they expect my Y to arrive "on site" by Aug 9.
Boy did I cry wolf!!

I should learn to be more patient…
I was in the same boat. They apparently stopped shipping with Homelink pretty early on but my 2018 M3 had it. If you don't mind DIY, there's a guy on ebay selling them.... price has crept up to $199 shipped but it beats the $350 Tesla price. Current listing is 385887486670 and his userid is element_1-7. I ordered mine on Saturday after I picked my MYLR up and it arrived yesterday. Check out the Youtube videos to see the install.
There's also a MyQ option which may be better for some people but I try to avoid annual fees (even though it's only $45 in this case).
There are threads on both options here on the forum.

I had the exact t same issue. I'm traveling and asked them to extend the pickup date from this Friday to Monday, and was told no. They gave me two options 1: Place my account on a 14 day hold. You then lose the assigned car. Then wait a few days and take the hold off. Supposedly you don't lose your spot in the queue and will get another VIN/Delivery date soon. 2: Add an option to the car. I added the tow hitch. This doesn't put your account on hold, you lose the first VIN since that car doesn't meet your order, and should get a new VIN in a few days. I did this Tuesday so I'll let you know when I get a new VIN. I really don't get why they wouldn't hold the car for the weekend for me, but sometime Tesla doesn't make sense. That said I love my Model Y and willing to put up with these "speed bumps" to upgrade. FYI, FSD doesn't slow down for "speed bump"
Man they are really hardasses when it comes to the delivery window. I'm going to be out of town for 5 days at the end of the month I hope that my delivery date doesn't get set for while I'm gone!
I picked up my Model YLR on 6/30 and did not pay in advance. Inspected the car and only then transferred the funds (using Plaid) right before driving away.

I agree, I travel a lot and I wasn't happy about it. Good news is my new order says delivery by 8/13, waiting on VIN.

Still waiting on my delivery day (probably next week? Crossing fingers), but in the meantime my wall charger arrived today and I installed it. Don’t have anything to charge, but it’s there LOL.
Feels like I’m “nesting”, like when we had our first kid…

Ultimate cost is a function of price and rate. I’m not thrilled about current rates, but I’m better off buying now than when the price was much higher and the FSD transfer didn’t exist. It’s not even close.
You must be pretty young. Auto loan rates under 6% are a fairly recent occurrence.
