I really dont like thread titles designed to "generate discussion" so changed this one. The actual complaint is about vehicle expected delivery dates moving around, so thats what I changed it to.

It is not THAT hard to calculate expected delivery time.
What marketing department?Well by saying expected doesn't mean Tesla isn't lying. They can still publish "expected" dates that they know aren't true. I'm sure the marketing department is just turning a blind eye.
Damn the Danish government, how dare they prevent people from registering their newly bought vehicles. People should riot and protest!!Okay, lets hope they just pushed the delivery dates to get a bit of quiet, to be able to figure out what they can actually do.
I have now been informed that it seems the Danish "DVLA's" website for registering new cars has been down for a few days, but this should mainly affect owners that have gotten their VIN, and are about to take delivery, but still, probably a bit of a wrench in the machine for Tesla in Denmark.
I was talking insurance not loans.I think it depends on your Bank, Ive had USAA, for 18years, many loans and zero issues
An extremely common situation (except for the reaching out to Tesla and they respond part)I was nervous when I got pushing out the EDD for 2-3 months and I called Tesla. The SA told me to ignore it and I got VIN 2 weeks later.
you got the vin, but when did you actually get the car?I was nervous when I got pushing out the EDD for 2-3 months and I called Tesla. The SA told me to ignore it and I got VIN 2 weeks later.
Hmm interesting, USAA is a all online bank, has been for a long time. I'm not expecting any issues but Ill let you know soon enough. Just got a text my VIN will be assigned in the next 1-2 weeksI was talking insurance not loans.
And it's the 18 years at USAA that can be the problem. They've got 18 years of doing it the legacy way. You know, go to the dealer, they send the loan application over and exchange money and you pick the car up.
That's different from the Tesla way of doing things where they tend to have to get things ready in about 20 minutes.
The big question will then be.Serious question: have you ever ordered a brand new car before? BMW can't tell you exactly when your car will be delivered. Even when you do get an allocation/production week, that is highly subject to change.
You give the example they can deliver 100 cars per month, and they know how many people are ahead of you. Well, they do know how many people are ahead of you, but one month they deliver 90 cars, the next month 110. Supply chain and other factors mean producing a car is not exact science. Hence "expected date".
Sure, but 3 days balloning into a 3 month extension, is a bit far fetched if you ask me.Damn the Danish government, how dare they prevent people from registering their newly bought vehicles. People should riot and protest!!
/s
Isn’t that a prime example of “*sugar* happens?”
Rather than supply, my question is... what kind of mess did all the order changes make?The big question will then be.
Is Tesla supply, so unreliable that their guestimation can be off by 300%
This is 1-2 months, that suddenly became 4-5 months. within 1 month.
Not everyone does it the same way.Sure, but 3 days balloning into a 3 month extension, is a bit far fetched if you ask me.
As soon as the VIN is assigned, they can start the registration process, so realistically they would probably start a couple of weeks before the car is to be delivered.
License plates are bought in bulk, and they can themselves do the registration, using these plates.
The previous car we bought from new, had a date of registration that was a couple of weeks earlier than the actual delivery date.
My Profile signature line shows the movement of my EDD over the course of my 7 month wait. At the time, that fluid up/down movement was very common.I was not aware that i was supposed to go to other independent tesla themed websites to get the truth about delivery dates, i would have preferred if the information on their website were more accurate. I might be very demanding, but if they say 1-2 months, i would not expect that to mean 4-5 months.
But that's probably just me, expecting to much then.
PS. I did not sell my car previous car because i was expecting delivery at a set date, my previous car was actually totalled by someone else a few months ago, and we have found ways to live with only having one car, for some time now.

It's not 'unreliable supply', it's more a factor of 'margin of error'. This is common for every automaker, and other industries heavily dependent on the global supply chain.The big question will then be.

10 months ago i bought a brand new EV from MG, this car was sadly totalled after only 4 months, when some muppet reversed his V8 Ford Mustang into it at full throttle at a toll booth.It's not 'unreliable supply', it's more a factor of 'margin of error'.

You never did answer... what new-car-buying experience are you comparing this to?
Yeah, here the media said that the reason the prices were dropped was because Tesla had a massive backlog of unsold vehicles, they produced but had not been able to sell, so the short delivery time was quite believeable in that context.We are in the same boat. Belgian here, MIG ordered last day of January, MYLR QS, towbar, black interiour, Gemini. EDD february-march has changed to April 4th - June 10th. And I am the lucky one, I read in the Dutch forum that some of us that ordered in January (per definition sooner than I did), received an EDD update going up to August depending on the specs.
I'm still hoping that Tesla somehow postponed delivery not only because of capacity, because also of some kind of update they are planning to roll out. But it will be in vain I guess...
Seems like the mistake was taking any “media” advice as anything more then speculation especially regarding Tesla.Yeah, here the media said that the reason the prices were dropped was because Tesla had a massive backlog of unsold vehicles, they produced but had not been able to sell, so the short delivery time was quite believeable in that context.
Now it looks like that was a lie, and they just wanted a lot of people to lock in their order, being told there were a short waiting time, and hope most would stay in the line until they are actually able to deliver, MUCH later than first "promised"
If this is the case, it seems a silly plan, as they will surely have a lot of angry costumers, that will feel Tesla has taken them for a fool.
