Tesla is sending an ultimatum to customers who have delayed taking delivery of the car they ordered for long periods of time.
Electrek was provided with a copy of the letter, which tells buyers that they are being contacted “to offer you a final opportunity to take delivery your [car on order].”
Tesla is becoming impatient with some customers and a source familiar with the matter told the outlet that Tesla‘s decision will apply to customers who have been delaying their orders for more than six months. That will mean that the letter will be sent out to a number of customers in the low thousands.

“To proceed with your delivery, sign in to your Tesla Account and select ‘I’m Ready’ to remove this hold by December 2, 2021,” Tesla writes in the letter. “If your order remains on hold on December 2, 2021, or if your order is placed on hold again, your order will be automatically canceled and your order deposit fully refunded.”
The move may affect customers who were impacted by the pandemic and were forced to delay their orders. Any customers who may have intended to push back their delivery until new tax incentives from the U.S. government kick in will also be disappointed.
Having an order canceled may have financial implications for customers who still want a Tesla, too. As time has moved on, prices for the vehicles have steadily risen, especially over the last year. The Model S Long Range, for instance, had its price raised by $10,000 between July and August on 2021.
