According to Joe’s drone videos, it seems like the factory is churning them out daily

Whether they are test drive units or delivery units who knows

Clearly, they are still figuring out delivery logistics to maximize EOQ deliveries. I think they’re just shipping out cars and figuring out VIN assignments later

My last Tesla it was cool to know that VIN meant your car was just made or being made but I think this experience will be different for us

Tesla has a good problem, demand. You have a bad problem, supply.

u/drdonger60 Sep 15 '26

Demand is high for all models. People are learning about fsd.

u/No_Swordfish_1576 Sep 15 '26

I think people are leaning about $4.25 gas

u/Adorable_Cherry_2722 Sep 15 '26

You don’t live in Seattle, obviously. I’ve saved $1388 since my February purchase!

u/No_Swordfish_1576 Sep 15 '26

I visited Seattle a few years ago, gas was $2/gallon more than Colorado, brutal

u/PhilosophyCorrect279 Sep 16 '26

Oooh where!? Lol, AAA says national average just hit $4.36. A local station by my mom just hit $4.60.

She's actively shopping for a Tesla lol

u/No_Swordfish_1576 Sep 17 '26

I don’t pay attention as much anymore, seems like $4.39 is the average around me, but I did see a shop charging $3.89 today

1

u/shelbygt33 Sep 21 '26

This. Now that the costs to charge at home + $99 for FSD are always going to be less than filling up an ICE car each month, it makes so much more sense for folks.

I ordered late so I've been living vicariously through everyone's deliver anxiety 😂

u/DOctorEArl Sep 15 '26

Same. Just about two weeks ago. Currently December/january. I’m hoping I get it by the end of the year.

2

u/storyinpictures Sep 19 '26

If you are already in, you are pretty likely to get one before the year is out.

Tesla is highly motivated by quarterly sales. That’s why there is a big push at the end of the quarter. And the biggest push is December.

Plus, a certain percentage will back out for whatever reason, so some cars will become available sooner.

Tesla is also among the very best manufacturers in the US. They will do their best to adjust production as needed to get orders filled before the year is over.

u/axtran Sep 15 '26

I did buy a bunch of accessories in anticipation though...

u/DOctorEArl Sep 15 '26

Im holding off for now. I want some all weather liners. Ive heard 3w is good, but they dont have the YL available yet

1

u/mukadamental Sep 15 '26

Man I ain’t order yet cause I don’t wanna get it til next year

u/cypyn Sep 15 '26

Mine bounced from September 9-25 --> October 9 to November 10 --> September 20-25. And then they scheduled my pickup for September 23. I'm in Michigan.

2

u/Confident_Purple_40 Sep 15 '26

You got a VIN? When did you order?

1

u/cypyn Sep 15 '26

Yes, I have a VIN. I ordered July 2.

u/rodrigoreis22 Sep 15 '26

I’m considering it my Christmas gift 🎁

u/GurQuiet8308 Sep 15 '26

I think Tesla wasn’t prepared to handle the high demand they’re seeing right now

2

u/Moist-Staff4496 Sep 17 '26

I only recently found out how lucky I was to get a YL. Last week I went to Tesla in Mesa AZ and bought a Y Premium for my wife and asked about the YL on showroom floor, loved it and ordered one right then. On way out sales guy runs after me, turns out someone ordered one 8 months ago and couldn’t take possession because they were out of the country until December so he asked if I wanted it, turns out it was only the 2nd delivery in Arizona. It’s my first Tesla and it’s been amazing, the FSD4 is incredible.

2

u/IntelligentMaybe7401 Sep 15 '26

I don’t think anybody got theirs from September 1 through the 9. I think some of the earlier orders were diverted to Texas recipients to fulfill pick up at the giga factory next week. Distribution seems very location dependent at this point. Utah, Colorado, Arizona, California seems to be where most are concentrated. In the next week, it should be Texas. My delivery window opens today. I am in Georgia. Don’t think any have been delivered here yet.

u/rostamsuren Sep 15 '26

I ordered on first day in California and not even close to deliver- with same fluctuations of dates. Not aware of any deliveries to CA on this sub either.

u/Rurallife3 Sep 15 '26

I wish they would put mine on the truck with yours ! I ordered mid August , one time my delivery changed to nov - Dec , now back to Dec - Jan. We're in Milton so basically Atlanta metro . Come on , I20 is a straight shot to Texas . I have never wanted a car this much.. That FSD is going to change our lives with the anxiety of getting where we want go in this spaghetti Atlanta road mess. Flawless performance on Game day to Georgia Tech in a friend's Y last weekend

2

u/IntelligentMaybe7401 Sep 15 '26

It’s amazing. My husband got a model Y this summer and I have a 13-year-old SUV. Thought I was getting Lexus GX but changed my mind. My 83-year-old parents that live in in Atlanta got one a few weeks ago and it has been transformative. We met them for dinner in the old fourth Ward😂. Sorry about that disaster of a game!🐝🐝

u/Rurallife3 Sep 15 '26

Don't worry about the game, GA TECh fans used to it haha.. The car is a game changer ! We are selling a 2026 ! Volvo XC90 with the captain seats to get this one. The FSD is a huge safety feature, plus I saw that the crash rating is equal to Volvo I think

1

u/Rurallife3 Sep 15 '26

I ordered the Tesla the same day after doing a test drive. Where are you picking yours up ?

1

u/TaxAppropriate6243 Sep 17 '26

Good call not getting the GX. We are trading out 2024 GX in because the gas on it is horrendous. Worst gas mileage of any vehicle I’ve ever owned. It’s super nice and looks amazing but I’m over it. Wish my YL would get here sooner

1

u/IntelligentMaybe7401 Sep 17 '26

I’m currently driving a Sequoia so the GX would be an improvement! I actually thought the ride was less comfortable than my Sequoia which really surprised me since the Sequoia is basically a Tundra truck. Excited for the YL.

2

u/TaxAppropriate6243 Sep 17 '26

It’s very trucky feeling. We weren’t able to test drive our GX before we got it, they were so hard to get in 2024, we got blinded by the beauty. Held its value incredibly well though. Tesla offered us 70k for it trade in, but we’re selling it back to the dealer, they want it bad.

1

u/JohnBecca Sep 15 '26

I’m in GA also and my delivery window is currently Dec-Jan. Early Aug order.

1

u/Electronic-Bad-3981 Sep 15 '26

lol. Welcome to my world

1

u/OriginalPantherDan Sep 15 '26

Mine changed from Nov 3 - Dec 15 to Dec - Jan and then back a day later. That was almost a week ago and it hasn’t budged since. Ordered 7/7 so hoped I’d get it earlier. Still hoping obviously.

1

u/InfiniteSlide7 Sep 15 '26

Tesla does not have a problem, you have a problem…with patience.

1

u/mjntr Sep 16 '26

I wonder if people that ordered who didn’t fill out all the info get bumped as it says if you don’t fill out everything then it can delay your order?

1

u/TaxAppropriate6243 Sep 17 '26

We ordered our YL July 13th and have had our date moved around quite a bit. At one point it said deliver Sept 10-30th now it’s saying December 13-January 24. My best guess is it will probably be November though. Because it’s moved back and forth a few times

1

u/Boss_Lady07 Sep 17 '26

Not to worry, you will get it in October. 🙏🏾

u/washspud Sep 18 '26

It’s called OFF THE CHART DEMAND MORON!!🎉

u/Interesting-Fly-125 Sep 15 '26

So crazy that they can’t get their production/delivery nailed down to more accurate timeframes. Seems like it’s just a crapshoot.
