This is not a vent board or any other kind of therapy. Before you hit the POST button, ask yourself if your contribution will add to the level of discussion going on.

Important notes on articles:

• Please do not copy entire articles into your post; rather, provide links to them.. We are now links-only for ALL Internet publications. If only a small portion of the article pertains to your post, Fair Use allows you to copy those one or two paragraphs, provided you cite the author's name and the publication for which he writes. Otherwise, put a link in the HTTP Link box.
• Even if you're copying a reference to an article, provide a link to the page from which the article came. We're trying to cut down on duplicate topics, and the posting process will check the link to your article to see if it's already being discussed on this board. At the very least, you'll save yourself some grief on the boards.
• If your first reaction after reading the article you're going to share is the author is uninformed / stupid / a jerk / all of the above, it's not worth sharing with anyone. Not every article needs to be discussed. The more the hair-pulling articles are discussed (e.g. ESPN Page 2), the more the authors will write hair-pulling articles.

The semiconductor shortage etc is causing lots of delays by eriendfan

throughout the automotive industry. And the Model Y is selling like hot cakes. Hopefully the Berlin and Austin TX factories open soon to relieve some of the pent up demand.

I have a friend who ordered in September and she did not want the car until March 2022 due to winter weather. They have offered her an earlier delivery several times and she says no. They have also held the price through several increases as long as she does not change anything on the order. She has enjoyed the sales experience so far.
