After submitting the deposit, it usually takes about half a month to a month to pick up the car. Below is the relevant information: Exterior: The Tesla Model Y in blue features a very stylish and sporty design. The exterior adopts a clean and simple body style, with a minimalist and fashionable front face. The rounded headlights add a touch of sophistication. The side profile showcases full and clean body lines, with a coupe-like SUV roofline and sporty wheel design. The rear end has a bold and simple design, featuring three-dimensional lines. Interior: The dashboard design is very minimalistic, with a large and tech-savvy center screen.

When I ordered my Model Y, I had to wait over two months. I heard there are still many people placing orders now. It mainly depends on the configuration you choose. The standard version is quicker, you can get it in about a month. If you opt for larger wheels or white interior, you might have to wait an extra half month. Recently, the factory has been ramping up production, so deliveries should be faster than before. I recommend downloading the Tesla app to check the progress anytime. Back then, the first thing I did every morning was to check my order status. By the way, remember to prepare your loan and insurance paperwork before the car arrives at the store. This can save you a lot of time, and on pickup day, you can basically drive off in about two hours.

Last time I accompanied my cousin to pick up his Model Y, it took a full three months from order to delivery. Now the official website states an estimated 1-4 weeks, but in reality, it depends on the high-delivery quarter-ends like September and December when priority goes to early orders. I suggest choosing a less popular color like blue, which might be two weeks faster than the in-demand black. You’ll suddenly be required to pay the full amount before pickup, so have the funds ready. The delivery center will provide a temporary license, but avoid applying a color-changing wrap before official registration, or the DMV might hold you up. Oh, and remember to bring your ID card and printed quota documents—missing either will mean extra trips.

Located in Shenzhen, I waited 63 days after ordering the rear-wheel-drive version in March. The delivery specialist mentioned that production capacity has increased, but there's still a queue. The most critical part is getting the financial plan approved early, as some people get stuck at this step for an extra week. When picking up the car, it's advisable to bring a flashlight and focus on checking the glass and panel gaps—my right rear door gap was slightly off and was adjusted on the spot. Don’t rush to buy the official charging pile; some residential areas allow applying for a 380V meter, saving you 8,000 yuan to invest in a third-party DC charger, which is more cost-effective. After three months of use, I feel the automatic wipers aren’t very responsive, so I suggest paying attention to OTA updates for improvements in this area later on.
