Imagine picking this as the hill to die on, haha

Newsflash: you can both be well informed and ALSO want a '24 VIN! Shocking, I know!

Why do you care so much to ask multiple times in multiple threads? It seems that you are being intentionally obtuse at this point. Some people prefer a newer model year, and any other reason is none of your (or my) business. This isn’t a super controversial opinion dude, lol

Why does it bother you that people want a '24? Just let it go dude, lol

My Tesla app just updated from the older vehicle image to the new render with the purported front bumper camera (on a non Stealth Gray vehicle).

Of course I don’t have a source. We know that Tesla is starting Highland deliveries in October, and we know that Tesla starts model year upgrades in October/November (which, by the way, is another concession and change, Tesla used to roll model years over during the start of the calendar year...

I’m not saying YOU’RE wrong, but this hasn’t been true since 2020. Tesla USED to do things this way, but more recently has been tying refreshes to model years - Model 3 chrome delete refresh, Model 3 highland. That’s not to say that all refreshes would be tied to model year refreshes, but...

I’m convinced that the people who keep spouting “well ACKTUALLY, Tesla doesn’t do model years” are just people who want to prove to others how much more they think they know about Tesla’s operations. If people want a 2024 VIN, let them have a 2024 VIN. Tesla has historically tied model years...

That’s why I made this post. Nothing about it makes sense. Again, not sure why the validity of the story is being questioned, I’ve owned 4 Teslas in the past so I’m familiar with the order/delivery process.

That’s what I feared - thanks! I wouldn’t be too happy myself if they tried to deliver a 12/22 build to me, so thought I’d ask.

She bought it new, and she doesn’t speak much English, so she wouldn’t have had the wherewithal to purchase an inventory model. Thanks for your answer - though it would’ve been much easier to employ some empathy and say that initially rather than for everybody to wade through the snark - not...

Why the hostility? She bought the vehicle with my referral, so I maybe do have an idea of the particulars of the transaction. I am asking about the legality of Tesla delivering a 10 month old vehicle to a customer who bought it as new. Not sure why the validity of this story is being...

Hi all, My neighbor took delivery of a Model Y today after waiting a few months - she was excited to show it off and called me over. She mentioned that the car was extremely dusty when she took delivery, which was the first red flag. She then showed me a few paint chips and trim issues, which...

My 9/10 Plaid order was pushed back to Nov-Dec as well. I’m guessing Tesla thinks they can generate more revenue by increasing deliveries of the tax-credit eligible X - maybe there’s a scenario where margins make more sense for that model for it to outstrip the Plaid in terms of volume? Or...

Hi all, Based on my completely unscientific and anecdotal experience in the last month I've had my car, I've noticed that the air conditioning on my 2023 Model S hasn't been cooling the cabin very well. Granted, it's about 100F here in Socal, but this is my 4th Tesla over the past few years...
