Delivery Awful Tesla Buying Experience – Delivery Delayed Multiple Times
I ordered my Grey Premium RWD Model Y in Pennsylvania on August 17th, and here’s how things have gone:
August 17: Placed my order. Estimated delivery was 4–6 weeks.
October: Finally received my VIN and scheduled delivery for October 21st.
October 14: Submitted my final payment as instructed by my advisor, 7 days before delivery. Expecting my delivery on the 21st I had already sold my previous car privately because Tesla’s trade-in offer was significantly lower.
October 21: Was told delivery wouldn’t be possible until October 24th.
October 22: Checked in again, only to find out delivery had been delayed AGAIN until October 27th.
Now I’m stuck without a car, having already paid, with my financing expiring on October 28th and no guarantee things won’t be delayed again.
To top it all off, I’m getting a 2026 model just two months before the end of the year.
