Can I delay Tesla delivery for a few weeks without losing my order or included Autopilot?
I ordered a Tesla Model 3 RWD Long Range on May 21st (last day with Autopilot included), but I’ve run into a bit of a timing issue.
The car is already in inventory/near delivery, with an estimated delivery window between June 1st and June 14th. The problem is that my wallbox won’t be installed until mid-June due to both hardware availability and my electrician’s schedule.
I’m not comfortable completing the final payment and taking delivery before I’m 100% sure I can charge at home. I’d rather avoid being fully dependent on Superchargers only.
So I wanted to ask if anyone here has had a similar experience with Tesla:
- Is it possible to delay delivery by a couple of weeks (e.g. to late June) without risking order cancellation?
- What usually happens if you delay the final payment? Do they hold the car/order, or assign it to someone else?
- Is there a risk of losing the original configuration (especially Autopilot included in the price) if the delivery is postponed?
Any advice or firsthand experience would be really helpful.
