I could order a tri motor if it is the 1st to be produced and maybe get it before my November 24 2019 dual motor. current estimate of delivery of the dual motor is January of 2022.
Originally, Tesla said the dual motor would be built first. They then said that the triple motor version would be built first. Many people (including us) put in refundable reservations for both dual and tri motor versions, just in case things change again.
I think it should be by who put down deposits first. Who was willing to be loyal on day one. I have a 6 Jan 2013 antique S. I dont need a trip motor. So u go in today, order tri motor u go to head of the line? I'm not pulling anything , I'd like the range. But not 3 motors. But u go to the head of the line s____.
If they want to produce high-revenue models first, then that's probably why the dual and tri-motor models are slated to be first off the line in late 2021 while the single-motor is projected for late 2022. That said, I am curious to know if performance models were produced first for other models. I am aware the base RWD version of the Model Y was pushed back a full year (which buyers did not know during preorder). And wasn't the standard range Model 3 pushed back as well?
I changed my order from the dual motor to the tri motor for the delivery first option. Made extra $$ from owning Tesla stock for a year!
Ronbastron, I'm considering doing the same but for the purpose of getting an earlier delivery. When did you order the trimotor and have you checked for the estimated delivery using the spreadsheet formula on this website. mine is January 2023 and I ordered November 24,2019.
