Did you get a VIN number? I would tell them of your trip plans. Perhaps they’ll hold it as it’s no longer the EOQ.
Don't forget to update the tracking sheet:
They won't hold it very long but given it's not the last month of quarter they may be more lenient, particularly if you fully fund your account. You also may consider having a friend take delivery with power or attorney. It's anyone's guess whether your local SC has experience with or will accept a power of attorney, but worth the question.
I’m very curious how this pans out as I have a trip pending and our two EDDs (S Plaid + MY P) are in that same event horizon.
With the current firmware version even Tesla Vision, i.e. radar-less, cars can now use TACC at 90 MPH. (Though I think they are still limited to a minimum following distance of 2.)
I was notified of my delivery availability last week while I was out of town... had to give it up as I know they were not holding it past EOQ. But I already have a new EDD for Oct 18-Nov 7...so it reset quickly. But then again, those EDD are not super reliable.
Yes, I've had a VIN since last week.
And it never asks you for money to go shopping, I'll bet?
Hopefully you recovered legal fees as well!
I 100% believe Tesla is sandbagging on both range and performance with the new cars.Yeah that was a huge pile of crap lol tbh, offered as an explanation for the Osborne Effect that Tesla kinda brought on itself by the making the Plus so good w/ limited battery supply. I think Tesla will have many many EVs with super high range, and just one reason alone is how competitive Elon is with other companies, especially ones where the chief engineer of the MS is involved.
I don't believe that the MS is actually as inefficient as Lucid may think. There have been multiple people saying there is at least 10-15% range increases coming soon. Someone on Reddit even uncovered something in the code called an "efficiency package." In April and May, there were reports that Tesla was achieving nearly 500 miles of range out of the LR at highway speeds. So it's possible that the LR has another 40 to 60 miles in it, with just the current 18650s and a 100 kWh pack. If they went to 112 kWh like Lucid, they would match them no problem. So I think this battle will be quite interesting, and I'm wondering what will be the car that makes Tesla push that update? EQS, EQE, or Air? Either which way, I strongly believe it's in the books.
The expansion to the IP-theft lawsuit lends some credence to that
Yeah lol right? This happens all the time, but definitely a shaking-my-head moment:The expansion to the IP-theft lawsuit lends some credence to that

Indeed. There is no reason the LR isn't capable of 2.4 0-60 other than being limited to ensure
feathers aren't ruffled.Exactly.
Yup--this is typical MO--be conservative up front then loosen up the reigns with data in hand.
To my knowledge, Elon hasn't ever been the type of guy that files frivolous law suits.Yeah lol right? This happens all the time, but definitely a shaking-my-head moment:
Tesla adds allegations of battery tech theft in Rivian lawsuit
According to Tesla, Rivian continues to poach their employees and now accuses Rivian of stealing ‘highly proprietary’ battery technology.
Agreed. Elon, or even Tesla, doesn't have the time nor do they want to be screwing around in a court room with tiny companies like Rivian. So there must be a reason for it. Like you say, it will be interesting for sure.
+1Maybe they’ll figure a way to resolve the yoke vein, huh? Oh and what ever happened to the s/w updates that unlock the MS Plaid’s 163mph speed limit to 200mph and/or the ANC, tilting main screen (oh wait, wasn’t that confirmed to be a likely 2022 hardware retrofit fix for that?), and making it so the rear seat occupants can watch Netflix movies independently with Bluetooth audio while the front seat occupants can listen to music in the car? And lastly, what about FSD “after beta” …like real, actual FSD s/w that we can use without getting into an accident? Hasn’t FSD been in “beta” for like 7 years?
Sorry for the sarcastic rants; just want my car I ordered > 8 months ago, lol.
