Tesla Model 3 and Model Y Waiting Room and Delivery Queries (No referral links)

If you don't want a 242 can you say to them it's too short notice as you are out of the country? I know it'll mean the car gets reallocated to the next person on the list but it would bug me no end if I received a 242 this close to the new year.

mine changed from feb to jan.

Mine has changed from February to December now

I’m going to email Tesla and see if they have any information on delivery’s and see will it be this month.

Hi guys,
We recently visited Tesla to inquire about purchasing a Model 3. During our visit, we were informed that selecting a "pre-configured vehicle" would enable us to receive the car before the end of the year. However, they clarified that they would not be able to delay the registration of the car to 2025; the vehicle would instead be registered as a 2024-2 model.

To secure the vehicle, we placed a reservation by paying €250 but have not made the full payment yet.

Could you advise on how realistic it is that we would receive the car before the new year if we proceed with the full payment.

Usually people wait until being offered a firm delivery appointment (not estimated) before making final payment. Whether you make the payment now or not does not impact being offered a delivery appointment. If you have a VIN it is a good indicator that a specific car has been matched to you. Car will be registered when delivery is made and wont be delayed.

Tesla just confirmed my order won’t be delivered this month which suits me fine. I can stop checking the app now.

Do they really make people register cars in December or else lose the order?

For what, ego and registration stats?

As long as you don’t pay in full, the car won’t be registered. You’d be crazy to register a car this week.

The car will be registered usually the day before or day of delivery. It really depends whether you bought a car that was avaialble for delivery and if so you will have been offered a delivery slot (or will be offered one very shortly). You will have the option to accept or reject but if you reject you run the risk that the car will be offered to someone else if they can agree a sale …thats just how it works. Its nothing to do with ego but all about sales and Tesla is a public company who reports quarterly and their financial perfrmacne is scrutinsided by the market and its all about "sales vs projections" and their accounting policy is such that Revenues can only be reflected of. a car is oredred, paid for AND delivered. If all of these conditions are not met the car is not included in their sales figures which explains why there is always a push to get all available cars "delivered. Its not clear if your car had a "Showoom Adjustment or free supercharge milage for a year which are incentives offered to purchasers conditional on delivery by 31st December .

Best of luck with it all
