What is puzzling to me, is that despite beating delivery expectations (meaning they did make and deliver more cars than planned), the delivery of my model X I'm in the line for did get pushed back from January to February. Something doesn't make sense...

> Something doesn't make sense How so? 96% of deliveries are 3/Y, Tesla probably delivered less than 1K X's this quarter since they're still ramping production of the refresh S/X. A month or two of delays for the X production is negligible.

And we have stories of people being told that a vehicle was "found" that matched their reservation, so they could get their vehicle. What that really meant was someone else had rejected delivery of that specific vehicle. But Tesla wanted "delivery acceptance" if you wanted a chance to look over that vehicle. They're like everyone else, push hard to make the numbers, screw the QA. https://www.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/comments/rtr21m/buying_a_tesla_model_s_has_been_a_nightmare/ https://www.reddit.com/r/RealTesla/comments/rtr21m/buying_a_...

  > What that really meant was someone else had rejected delivery of that specific vehicle. Do you think they should scrap the vehicle if the original buyer rejects it? Of course they will deliver it to a different customer. > They're like everyone else, push hard to make the numbers, screw the QA. That's the usual Tesla FUD - If they don't make the numbers - busted growth story. If they do - their QA sucks.

    Eh, their QA absolutely does suck. That’s not FUD at this point.

      Their quality and QA has improved significantly over the last 2 years and is on par with the industry, if not better in some areas. Don't believe everything you read on /r/realtesla.

  Or that somebody canceled the vehicle for other reasons. To suggest all of those are because of QA issues is nonsense. And their QA is not the issue because of deliveries, the most growth in deliveries has been in China where QA is considered very good.

  they are often rejected because 2,000 dads have posted youtube videos about how to reject delivery because of millimeters that can be adjusted at any time

    Or because the windshield isn't actually attached to the vehicle in any permanent manner. Or the roof separates. Or there is a solid clunking at 27mph. Let's not pretend that legions of otherwise-Tesla-lovin' folks are out in the delivery yard with a pair of calipers. Oh, and about those adjustments - just go to Tesla Motor Club forums for story after story, with photo evidence, of panel alignment being _worse_ after you've waited 2 months for the service center to get you in and "fix" it.
