This forum can be overly critical of Tesla - in some cases, rightfully so. The entire industry is facing supply chain shortages and Tesla is no stranger to it. Some might even say that they have handled it better than others (e.g. changing chips & re-writing firmware for it to support it). The supply chain is punishing vehicle buyers all across the market - manufacturers have increased MSRP (e.g. Jeep, Tesla), dealerships have added market adjustment fees, discounts aren’t being offered as much anymore and so on.
My only guess as to why base Model SR+ takes longer vs with other add-on options is probably because that’s their most sold configuration and they do not have an infinite supply of it?
Regardless, this thread was created for people that wanted a Tesla/vehicle sooner than they could get through traditional means. Creating noise here talking about custom orders, how bad Tesla practices are, how one can flip it & so on just detracts from the conversation, but it’s expected in an open forum. However, there is another thread here that was recommended for those types of conversation → Anyone else throwing in the towel and buying a Tesla?
If anyone wants to continue some meaningful conversations on how we could improve your odds at getting a Tesla, feel free to chat with us on the Discord.
