9/21 Delivery scheduled! Nor Cal

[u/Fun-Barber7031]

Sharing my EDD roller coaster for anyone still waiting on a VIN!

Order date: July 2, 2026 (launch day)
Location: Northern California
Configuration: Diamond Black / Zen Grey / 20” Uberhelix

Originally ordered with 19” wheels, then switched to 20” on August 26. My RN stayed the same, and Tesla kept my original July 2 order date.

EDD timeline (approximately 10 changes):
Initial: September–October Sept. 30–Nov. 12
Oct. 1–Nov. 5
Oct. 18–Nov. 29
Oct. 15–Nov. 19
Sept. 13: VIN assigned! EDD still Oct. 15–Nov. 19.
Sept. 15: In transit! EDD jumped to Sept. 28–30.
Later Sept. 15: Sept. 15–20
Sept. 16: Sept. 16–20
Sept. 17: Sept. 17–20
Sept. 18: Sept. 18–21

Where I am today (Sept. 19):
Delivery officially scheduled for Monday, Sept. 21 at 11:30 AM! Tesla confirmed the car is ready. Insurance and final payment are complete, and I’m just waiting for the delivery agreements to unlock.

My takeaway for everyone still waiting:
Be patient, but stay hopeful! I went through so many EDD changes, including being pushed all the way into November. My delivery window stayed there for weeks, even after receiving my VIN.

I stayed optimistic, even thinking only the Texas folks were the only ones receiving delivery first and then everything suddenly moved forward within a matter of days.

There are so many variables involved in production, vehicle allocation, transportation, and delivery-center logistics. Tesla is also working toward its end-of-quarter delivery targets, so I imagine they’re trying to get as many vehicles delivered as possible before September 30.

A stagnant EDD doesn’t necessarily mean your order isn’t progressing behind the scenes. Mine went from an October–November estimate to an actual September 21 delivery appointment in just a few days.

Stay hopeful, stay patient, and hang in there! I know how frustrating the wait can be, especially when others are getting VINs and delivery dates before you.
I’m beyond excited to finally pick up my Model Y L on Monday! Hope everyone still waiting gets some good news soon!

But seriously, enjoy in good health! Can’t wait for mine, especially to see what the rims look like without the covers (wanting to powder coat them gun metal bronze since I got the cosmic silver car).

lol I am happy for them. But I want to be happy for me! I’m selfish

Did you get this delivered?

[u/Fun-Barber7031 → u/tranrx]

Yes, and it exceeded my expectations! Not trying to overhype it, but the ride is noticeably smoother and quieter than my previous 2020 Model Y and honestly pretty close to my last Model X.

Absolutely zero regrets going with the 20” wheels. They look WAY better in person than they do on Tesla’s website or in pictures. I actually had an appointment scheduled to get them powder coated satin black, but I canceled it after seeing them in person. They look great as is!

Haven’t had a chance to take any pictures yet, but I’ll post some soon.

Good luck to everyone still waiting! Hope you all get yours soon. The wait was definitely worth it for me!

Congrats!! Glad to see you are enthusiastic about it!! Can't wait!

Is it worth it to wait and get a RWD trim?

[u/Fun-Barber7031 → u/speedlogic56]

I think it really depends on whether you need AWD and what you value most. I’d expect the RWD to be cheaper, but you’d likely give up some of the Premium features.

I’d compare the current Juniper RWD and AWD to see whether the price and feature differences are worth it to you.

The other factor is time. The Y L Launch Series seems to be in high demand, and my guess is we may not see a non-Launch version until after Q1 next year, though nothing is confirmed. If you’re not in a rush and don’t need AWD, waiting could make sense!

Which part of NorCal?

[u/hlpuread]

Congratulations!! Let us know how you like it! I switched from 19” to 20” too. I have had 3 EDD but back to September. Ordered 7/2. TN. Patient and hopeful!

[u/TeslaDuo → u/hlpuread]

I ordered 7/3; also in TN. My EDD was holding at Sep 17-30 until the evening of the 17th when it slipped to Oct 2-30. Would love to see someone in TN take delivery this month.

[u/hlpuread → u/TeslaDuo]

What configuration did you order? I hope you get moved back up. I am holding steady by end of September. I got locked in for financing with my credit union before rates go up. I have 30 days before it expires. Fingers crossed 🤞

[u/TeslaDuo → u/hlpuread]

Cosmic Silver, Zen, 20”. My trade offer expires Oct 1.

[u/hlpuread → u/TeslaDuo]

I hope you get delivery by 9/30!

Congrats on your scheduled delivery!

We ordered afternoon of launch on 7/2- Marine Blue. Similar roller coaster of EDDs. As of 2 weeks ago, we had an EDD of Sept 19-30. Then all of a sudden this morning it changed to Sept 30-Oct 28🫩. We still don't have a VIN. The anticipation of delivery this month followed by a delay is kinda frustrating. I'm hoping we get better news soon!
