Tesla Closes Shortened Delivery Loophole

© Reuters.  Tesla (TSLA) Closes Shortened Delivery Loophole

Customers noticed something strange about their estimated Tesla (NASDAQ:TSLA) delivery times earlier this month. They found that by adding the company's Full-Self Driving option, the delivery time was cut dramatically, and they could remove the $12,000 option just before delivery. In the case of a Model Y, you could get your car seven months quicker than if you ordered without FSD Capability. Tesla has caught on to this loophole and slammed the door shut.

A new update to the Tesla site added a warning to customers attempting to utilize the loophole. When a customer tries to remove the FSD option, an alert lets the customer know that delivery will be delayed if the option is removed.

Many customers will likely be upset with the change. However, it seems reasonable that Tesla would take this route to close the loophole.
