    Delayed delivery experience (due to being unavailable during delivery window)

    ok, here we go...clicked "I'm Ready"...no VIN yet, but estimated delivery is 12/12-12/31.

    Delayed delivery experience (due to being unavailable during delivery window)

    Why not hedge your bet and order new one (#3), but wait to cancel your current order until you get a solid delivery date after 1/1 AND better assurance that BBB will survive in a way that you get the credit. You would only be out the $250, but stand to gain up to 8K.

    Delayed delivery experience (due to being unavailable during delivery window)

    Bummer...decisions, decisions. I really am tempted to just order another one now and just cancel this one if the delivery date is before 12/31. It would be $1000 more, but I could order midnight silver instead of white for the same price now. Worst case is that I am out $100 if I cancel...

    Delayed delivery experience (due to being unavailable during delivery window)

    Got my response.... "Thank you for your message. We need you to remove the hold by the 9th if you decide to still proceed on getting the Model 3. If the hold is not removed your order will automatically cancelled."

    Delayed delivery experience (due to being unavailable during delivery window)

    I'm in same boat...they are forcing me to take off hold by tomorrow or my order will be canceled and deposit forfeited. I think it is highly unfair to force me to take it sooner, when they clearly told me that I could keep it on hold until 12/31. It also says on hold until 12/31 in my portal...

    Bastards! They string us along for months, and then treat us this way...makes me want to cancel my order and tell Elon to F-off! Pissed!

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Got my "take off hold by Dec 9th or your order will be cancelled" email today. Yet my online account still says this... Can't they be legally bound to Dec 31st?

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Thinking of maybe releasing my hold around the 20th? Get ahead of the curve a bit and then hope they can't deliver until after 1/1/22. I did notice that Model 3s have now been pushed from December to January delivery for new orders...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    My hope would be to make it just "Made in America"...then we all get the $4500. This would in turn push companies to set up shop in America, develop batteries in America, etc. It would be using US Tax dollars to benefit American technology, companies and workers...all at the same time helping...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Did you get a VIN assigned yet? If not, don't do anything until you get one. The EDD really means nothing...the VIN means everything. Once you have a VIN, then you can put on hold until you are ready to take delivery. They will reassign that VIN to another buyer, but you will not go to the...

    Manchin is going to kill this entire thing...today's inflation news plays right into his (and his fossil fuel buddies) hand. Joe Manchin slams rising inflation and dismisses the Biden administration's argument that it will be short-lived

    Looking like the House bill won't go through until Thanksgiving at the earliest...moderate dems want to see the CBO report. "But at least one final hurdle remains: there's no cost estimate from the Congressional Budget Office (CBO), and a handful of centrist budget hawks are demanding that they...

    Fricken Manchin...what a whore to the fossil fuel industry. This part sums it up perfectly... “This is not just hurting West Virginia, it is sinking the whole climate agreement and our ability to reduce CO2 emissions. He’s trapped by a handful of coal-burning utilities and it has global...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Yep, that is exactly what my SA told me as well. I got my VIN, but they released it and put on hold until 12/31. Now the question is (assuming this passes in its current form), should I release my hold on 12/31? Or maybe a week before that since they likely won't be able to deliver in 7...

    Really, they cancelled SR+ orders? When did that happen? Please provide link if possible.

    Looks like the House version made it. Income caps at $400K (Single) $800K (Married) and vehicle upper limits are $55K for cars and $69K for SUVs. Also, very clear that it is effective 1/1/2022.

    Note the wording "for a middle-class family" and "average American family" language.....sounds like Manchin got his "means test" to me

    Ok...to be clear...so don't click on the "Proceed with Delivery" and just respond to text and then work with my SA? Thanks again!

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Thanks PNW...should I wait on responding to the text message and maximize the time until they remind me again? Or should I acknowledge the message and click the "Proceed with Delivery" button staring at me on my Tesla Portal and then call my SA to place it on hold?

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    I'm in the same boat...got my VIN and text message today for my Model 3 AWD....was hoping to be a few more weeks! I want to hold at least until we get more clarity on this bill passing and what will be in it (hopefully by 10/29)....but not sure how to approach it and what to say. 10K is a...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    Based on a response in another similar thread, it looks like the VIN assignment can be key.... @PNWLeccy said "I think that if anyone is thinking of putting their order on hold, they should wait until you have a VIN assigned to do it. As @SanCarlosJeff said, you can then release your assigned...

    Delayed delivery experience (due to being unavailable during delivery window)

    Excellent information...thanks PNW...I had a M3 SR+ on order since 6/28 and today I decided to upgrade to a M3 AWD LR. I just think it makes a lot of sense after researching. I live in Washington as well, so I gave up the sales tax (has to be less than $45K to qualify), but hoping I can delay...

    Tesla EV Tax Credits coming back?

    I wonder if there is an accounting trick that Tesla could pull to delay invoicing the customers who have already ordered but not taken delivery yet? Until January 1st, 2022? Otherwise, there are going to be a LOT of cancellations....$10K is a lot of money to lose out on. It also might make a...

    I wonder if there is an accounting trick that Tesla could pull to delay invoicing the customers who have already ordered but not delivered until January 1st, 2022? Otherwise, there are going to be a LT of cancellations....$10K is a lot of money to lose out on.
