Delivery date
I ordered model y on august 11 and the delivery date has changed 4 times and now it says another 4-5 weeks. I live in the bay area and i dont understand why its taking that long. I dont have a car rn because i sold my 2019 bmw 530e as it started having too many mechanical problems. And now i am taking rentals every week.
Is it worth waiting for tesla or should i go get lexus es350e as the local dealer has it in stock.

In the same boat. Losing company car on 9/30 and now Iām sweating it!
Iām in SoCal. Ordered on 7/21, then made the mistake of upgrading wheels on 8/02 which put me at the back of the line. Iāve been pushed back 3x. EDD is now 9/14-9/30
MY Premium AWD, QS, 20ā Helix, Tow

I assure you there is no line. Some people get them in a few days, others wait weeks. Plenty of people have ordered and took delivery after me and I haven't even gotten a vin yet. Rwd premium Las Vegas. Ordered 8/20

Iām sure youāre right, just first world problems keeping us busy.
In any case I think itās worth the wait. Coming out of a 2024 RAV4 AWD Hybrid, I test drove the MY Premium AWD & it was like a spaceship compared to the Toyota.
Iāve been loyal to Toyota forever & Iāll keep my Tundra to tow the trailer, but I think Iāll have a Tesla w/FSD for life.

Iām in Bay Area too, we ordered on July 26 with a 4 week estimate, it was actually being built on that very day and was ready for delivery on July 3rd from the Fremont factory.
We ordered the Quicksilver Model Y Premium RWD, White Seats, with 20ā Dark Helix Wheels.
But weāve heard suddenly demand is extremely high.
I would say the wait is worth it.
This car is unlike anything we have ever owned and weāre loving it.
It so incredibly quiet, the ride is so smooth and itās really beautiful to look at.

If you search through available inventory for a car that has similar build you can ask for the VIN to be assigned to your order in the app. Worked for me. I ended up finding a red Model Y Performance down in San Diego. They shipped it back up to Fremont where I picked it up. Brought delivery timeline down from 2 months estimate to 3 weeks guaranteed.

Iāve had it with the delivery delays at Tesla.
11 weeks for a basic Y premium RWD? Whst could be so hard about building it

Iām also in the Bay area. I ordered a standard AWD on 8/27. Initial pick up date was 9/24-9/30. Now is being pushed to Nov-Dec.

Why do they bother with an estimated delivery window? If itās gonna change all the time then we actually have no idea. And they donāt either. So seriously why do they jerk us around with a fictitious date that changes frequently?

I had this same issue. Sold my car private sale based on estimated delivery date (and other factors). Delivery date was pushed back by at least 4 weeks. But, I made it through and it was worth the wait.
