3 Secrets To Know Before Tesla Delivery

[@BrandonDriver]

Did you know about these 3 secrets? Do you have any of your own to add?

[@martinroggon3524]

YES - I do have to add one: More than two weeks after delivery of my Model 3 LR I´m still tying to get a service apointment for an issue with my passenger windows get fixed. Because NONE of the service centers could be contcted directly to make a date I´m bouncing between Luxembourg, Köln (where I pick up my car an 24th of March) and a mobile service (Ranger) near by that wasn´t able to take action for the whole day (11th of April) even if a timeframe of two hours for contacting me was promised. From my point of view: The so named "service" at Tesla is just a FAKE !

[@jamillikan]

I feel much better after listening to you. Thank you.

[@teslascozzies5537]

Thank you Brandon. We're just waiting, we're in the August - November window. Exciting!!

[@bonwatcher]

Thanks Brandon, very helpful video, especially because of the new 2023 tax break for Model Y's. We just got updated delivery window to December, 2022 from a Jan-Mar 2023 and would like to get the tax break and take delivery after January 1 as I'm sure everyone ordering Model Y's want to delay until after that date. No one has a good "how to" video talking about this yet.

[@jgelim]

This is so helpful as I wait for my car

[@socaldude4342]

Excellent video. I just got my Model S VIN with delivery expected between 9/13 and 9/17. Ive decided to finance through tesla for now. How do you apply? I dont see any links to an application in the tesla app. Also, are the decisions pretty quick for those with excellent credit? Thanks.

[@BrandonDriver]

Congrats on your VIN! Check with your sales rep (if you have one), you should be able to apply through your MyTesla.com account. Login through the Tesla website to check. Decisions are usually immediate for excellent credit.

If you defer your car after you get the vin, do they hold that same car with that same vin for you to pick up at a later date or do they give that car with that vin to someone else then build you a new car with a new vin when you were ready for delivery?

[@BrandonDriver]

They’ll give your VIN to the next available person (of which there are many these days), and build out another VIN if they let you keep your spot in the order queue!

[@stephen2220]

@@BrandonDriver yeah, contacted Tesla, the stated they no longer allow customers to defer their cars, only in specific cases, which they wouldn't elaborate on... I'd hate to lose my deposit and have to start all over again so I'll just wait 2 months or so then place my order.

Amazing video Brandon! I ordered a Model S plaid the middle of May according to the website delivery was Jun-Aug now It's a July 20th - Aug 24th window. what are the chances of me taking delivery in July? Thanks

When I ordered a M3P on June 16th, the website edd said jun-Aug but my actual EDD has been showing Aug-Sep for 2 weeks now. I guess I'm a little confused how my edd is later than the edge of the website edd.

Cool! I ordered mine in early January of 2023 and it says delivery Jan-Feb but I figured it would be later than that. According to this hopefully it's coming in March!😋

[@gtfreak32]

Is there any truth to higher trims getting delivered sooner because they have less demand? A model 3 standard or long range for example would take longer to come in than a performance

[@BrandonDriver]

100%. It’s not always simply price, sometimes has to do with seat orientation, like 5-seats Model Y’s being more popular than 7-seats.

[@hbuniotto]

My wife us scheduled to take delivery of her model Y with black interior today. We originally wanted white interior but could not find one in existing inventory to have delivered before March 31st to meet the tax credit deadline. The same Delivery Center has one exactly like we wanted but we already signed the paperwork. Any idea if they will let us change to a different car after singing all the paperwork but before accepting delivery?

Does Tesla give you a hard time if I choose to delay my delivery and how many time can I delay it?

[@viennarosephotography7784]

Howdy Brandon! We ordered a model 3 and a waiting excitedly! When ordering ( April 10th, 2022) I didn’t add the mobile charger to order (face palm) is there anyway to add it so I have one on delivery? They are sold out and there is no option in app:) thanks! Delivery Oct-dec currently!

Howdy! Congrats on your order! Keep checking back for when they’re back in stock on the site, or reach out to your closest sales team and check for them to be back in stock. I imagine they’ll be back soon.

[@h.h.1266]

If the delivery driver dumps it at your house and leaves in 30 seconds- and you find manufacturing faults later like panel gaps or paint chips etc. - what happens? Will they accept these issues later and come and fix it or if you don’t call it out upfront they won’t fix it? Thanks!

[@kcimages5157]

Is it True M3P models might come sooner ? Ordered first of April and shows June5 to July3 delivery ?

[@BrandonDriver]

Yep! Lower demand but high profile cars get faster delivery times.

[@happyhippo1710]

@Brandon Driver My MYLR date has changed for the 3rd time to Nov 27-Jan 22. I am thinking they may try to get it to me in December but I heard it is not good to get one the last quarter of the year as they rush and more things can happen. Also, I am hoping I can get one from Austin as I am in the NY region.. Do you think December as well or January 2023 next year?

This video is extremely useful. I have a delivery window scheduled for May22 (The Netherlands),. Order my Model3LR in 1th week January, still no EDD or VIN... what do you think Brandon?

Thank you for watching! International orders are a little trickier to estimate for deliveries, but I would guess that May or June are your likeliest pickup times to make the order completed in Q2.

Hi Thank you for the video on KZbin “Pre delivery” I came across and informative! I have placed my Tesla model Y performance Blue with white interior in March 4, 2022 and my EDD is March 22-March 31. Wow really excited! However, I haven’t received yet any VIN, and really afraid that they might change it..according to your information I’m exactly at March!

[@timothyorey]

Thanks Brandon. This video is extremely informative and useful. I have a delivery window scheduled for February- March, therefore I should expect to receive my vehicle in March correct?

[@BrandonDriver]

I would definitely expect it to come early March. Things can always change, but that would be my guess!

[@SuperStarReview]

Hey, I had my delivery scheduled for Nov 5,2022. However, I received an automated txt mssg stating that the vehicle will be slightly delayed in transit and it asked me to pick up another the delivery date a few days out. Before making the change, I spoke to Tesla and was advised that this can happen during transit and the automated system will prompt these messages as the vehicle is moving and affects the delivery date. Is this normal Brandon? This is my ninth month waiting for the car. It is a Y LR 7STR White on Black.

[@douillette009]

Ordered my Model 3 Long Range on 3/10/2022 originally said May now I’m seeing June - July. Realistically with craze of EV’s what do you think is a likely time. Also my rep said he would snag me one before May but idk if that’s even possible now with this change.

[@arceor794]

Great video! I was supposed to take delivery on 12/21 but on 12/20 I got a call from Tesla saying that they found a chip in the windshield during final inspection and will delay delivery to 12/22. I got a call late in the afternoon saying that the new windshield had not arrived and that they will be holding the car over the weekend as a "pre-caution." Financing is done, checks are cashed. I teased about throwing in some all-weather floor mats and they weren't amused (no response). If they're not done by 12/28, I won't be able to take possession until 1/2. Can they force me to take possesion or is it pretty much a done deal because they've pretty much "cashed my check." I don't want to lose the car because I can't take possession immediately after they complete the repair.

[@BrandonDriver]

Shoot me an email if you’d like to dive deeper, but my initial thought is that it sounds like they’re doing their best to have it in your hands before the year is over. Sometimes unfortunate surprises happen, it’s good they caught it and are rectifying before delivery.

[@brianboru1975]

Thank you for this video! We ordered our Model 3 SR+ on August 14, 2021 and as of last night (12-27-21) the estimated delivery dates were 1-21-22 to 2-18-22. This morning I received the VIN# followed by a text to "choose" a delivery date which included just one option of 12-30-21. We are out of town and can't take delivery until 1-3-22 so we had to decline the delivery. They did offer to drop the car off at a friend's house or in our driveway but I declined those options. So now we are back in line for the first Model 3 SR+ with our configuration which I was told could be in a week, two weeks, two months, etc. So now we wait again. A bit frustrating but I know it will be worth the wait.

[@richi9641]

I ordered sr+ as well on sept 4th and am still waiting for a vin, any update if you received one yet so I can try to figure an eta on when I might be getting mine?

[@brianboru1975]

@@richi9641 The new estimated delivery date is 1-28-22 to 2-25-22 but our local Tesla Service Center thought it would probably be within 2-3 weeks from when we declined the first VIN#, which was on December 30, 2021. I'm in S. CA (Palm Springs) and unless we have a trade-in, which we don't, we only have the option of an at home delivery. By the way, I bought a mess of accessories for our M3 to pass the time, which has put me in the dog house more than once but it's been fun.

[@brianboru1975]

Just updating our experience with declining the first VIN#. Since we declined the first # in the last couple days of December 2021 we have received numerous estimates for our delivery. In the month of February alone (and today is Feb 18th) we have received 5 estimates... 2-3 to 2-25, 2-9 to 2-23, 2-12 to 2-25, 2-15 to 2-25, and now 2-18- to 3-18. I stopped by our local service center yesterday to make sure there wasn't a problem and they confirmed there wasn't and notated our file that we were ready to take delivery. I'm not sure why the dates keep changing, especially since many of the changes were for the same time period of the first February estimate of 2-3 to 2-25. Hopefully, Tesla will be able to address the estimates to provide a more stable delivery time frame once gigafactory Texas is up and running at full steam. We're frustrated but still very excited to get our Model 3. (Editing to add as of 2-19 and the 6th month of February estimated delivery time frame is now 3-18 to 3-31. Looks like we'll be taking delivery in the last part of the 1st quarter of 2022 which corresponds with what you have been saying, Brandon.)

[@stevedowler2366]

Again, good tips and thanks. Here's a special case: I'm currently in CA (COVID delay) but live in CO and want to take delivery there. I get a much lower sales tax (about $800 savings) and a $2,500 tax rebate (or maybe it's a credit). After much research, it looks like there's no way to take delivery in CA, pay CO sales tax and drive it to CO for registration. CA DMV offers a One Trip Permit (OTP) but you have to pay CA sales tax then drive it within 30 days to register in CO and CA has no tax rebates or credits. I'll talk to the sales agent once I get a VIN and delivery date but any tips you may have would be much appreciated. Cheers.

Hi Brandon, question for you. Is there a way to extend my delivery time?

Any way I can get around this? Thank you!

Sadly Tesla is pretty strict about their timelines. I’d ask to speak to the store manager responsible at your delivery center and ask if they’re able to work with you. Every now and then they’re able to make exceptions.

Thanks for the info. Us having to put our MYP and model 3 long range on hold in hopes for ev tax credit. Do you know when we push the "im ready" do we go way back in line or still considered priority over new orders

[@BrandonDriver]

I’m not sure how they prioritize orders now, but if you have your account details complete I would assume that they’ll bump you into the queue as fully ready to receive your car. If you have a salesperson to stay in contact with, it also helps to show that you’re at the ready with no delays once a car is available.

So I ordered MYLR, I was told to proceed with a cash offer because the loans are only good for 60 days. According to my delivery date it’s set for the month of April.

Very helpful video. Thanks for taking the time to make it. I ordered my Tesla 3 Long Range on Nov. 29. My original EDD was Dec. 15-30th. It changed to Jan. 4-Feb. 1. Do you think this means I should expect March delivery? Or earlier? I know you can’t tell me for sure but am your opinion may help. Thanks!

Hi Wes 👋 I’d estimate that your delivery may still get squeezed in before the year is over, but if not then you may be one of the rare ones that will happen in January. I would guess they’re figuring out if they over-promised for deliveries this month right now.

[@wesvanfleet8087]

Great! Thanks for the response.

Hello! I recently ordered my M3 Rear Wheel Drive and I accidentally set my payment method to cash (when I was going through pre-delivery tasks) and I wanted to finance it. I can’t change it now. Can I change it before I get the car delivered? Also thanks for the awesome information!

[@MrGrandeflipper]

Yes you can switch to financing by contacting your rep or emailing tesla financing. I would however wait until you get a vin before asking them to switch to financing.

[@BrandonDriver]

Yes you can! Call in to a sales associate, they'll reset the payment option for you.

"Hi Eilbron, we currently plan to build and deliver your Model Y in December. Please reply DECEMBER if you are ready for delivery this month and we will contact you about scheduling your delivery once your Model Y is built. Please reply DELAY if you cannot take delivery this month and we will reach back out in the new year." I replied December. Did i make the right decision in your honest opinion? Tesla doesn't take short cuts to finish building a car on the last days of the quarter? Thanks

[@BrandonDriver]

If you want it now, I think you made a fine decision. Even if they “rush” your car, just be double careful to check around it before taking delivery for anything that’s off. Email me for a delivery checklist!
