    I have a feeling somehow Musk just doesn't like you 😬 🤷‍♂️ :D

    Yes.. that's what I thought... 99% of the people have told me after I saw the video that they used to get the update shortly after 9 EST or after the time change 10 EDT. I didn't dispute what you said then.. coz only you know when you've been receiving your udpates :)

    Not that it would make a dime of a difference, but, hey, we're a democracy and multiple feedbacks could fall into listening ears and we could see some changes in the foreseeable future. This is what I wrote in the feedback form I received today ;) 😬 Of course, I love the car and its features...

    :) Thank you. Perhaps PPf next. They dropped Austin build vehicles off two days back, and the trucks are heading north. Guess yours is in there. Keep checking with them on the exact location and whether or not you can schedule and earlier delivery.

    Better for you. That's a relatively newer build.. 093, I'm assuming was built just this week. Good luck!!!

    I was able to get my delivery bumped up by a day. Finally, got hold of him!!! Easy delivery experience - vehicles that were to be delivered were all lined up and opened to be inspected before accepting delivery. My wife and I ran through an hour of the checklist and were extremely satisfied...

    Check my earlier post from Mar 18. Whole history is there. HQ edited my order, overrode price matches and checked anything within 300 miles and factory gated but not assigned yet (in fact, de facto inventory). I got really lucky with the person I got to speak with, my persistence and perhaps my...

    For regular MYLR, and non-inventory ones, there have been very few in this forum. @Mainuh is the only one I can think of. Recently, several Bay area folks near Fremont plant were assigned VINs.. those with OD as late as early March. I can't remember if I saw those in this forum or in reddit. I...

    I'm sure they will do all that's in their power to meet the quarter end. That said, the vehicle takes at least one full day for prep work, cleaning, inspection, state inspection (if your state requires it) etc. Good Luck!!!

    On the contrary, "NO". Whatever overrides the HQ did and added the paint color prices back, the base price showed up as $52990. That's the first thing I noticed and told @ghostrider78 the moment I walked out of the SC and called him up to share the news.

    Looks beautiful... This is my favorite color combo.. which I could not order of course when the 55K limit was ON. After the IRS limit increase, I was hesitant to edit lest I lose my place in line. I guess the 20 inch helped to expedite your delivery.

    Tesla's trade-in offer is usually an undermining one, from my experience, what I've heard from friends and from what I've read in this forum. Tesla offered me $34500 for my 4 year old 4 series convertible, and CarMax offered me $36K. Eventually, I sold it after posting on FB marketplace for...

    Happy for you Sam. Did you eventually end up going to the SC to have them help you with this? Looking at your new EDD, it's definitely a re-route as it takes at least 2 weeks to get from Fremont to Raleigh.

    There's a detailed explanation in this Forum itself. There were several additional features for Austin builds which now Fremont is serving up as well (starting Jan this year) - namely magnetic console, cargo cover etc. Austin build and paint quality and a single-cast framework did standout...

    When are you picking up? If it's a weekend, don't risk it. If not, you can always try the plaid that day, and if it doesn't work go to your bank and get the check. Good luck!!!

    I may apparently do that as well. Use the 40K from the sale of my 4 series, put in the extra and get the check a day in advance or so.

    You just don't tell them how you're going to pay. You can always setup plaid payment on the day of delivery. I plan to do so, and get my certified check only a day in advance.

    Alright, so GOOD NEWS for me I reckon. I was able to get a successful price match .:) Thanks to my friend, @ghostrider78 's persistence, I finally headed to the local Tesla SC this morning. Being a Saturday, the SC was so busy that no advisor was available for my service, and the regional...

    Some trends I have inferred from this forum, reddit, accelerated delivery, and Tesla available inventory. Of course, it's just my inference as always, and I could be wrong. However, I did do a detailed study: 1. Almost all zip codes I've lived in pops up multiple demo vehicles in available...

    Unfortunately they make in batches :( Some of the guys here around my OD and who're local already got their VINs. Same color combo, but they had the tow. Let's see.

    Discussion: Model Y General Waiting room for orders placed After January 2023

    Don't want to discourage you but you don't have the "tow" like me. People around and after my OD with tow have been pulled in to March, and mine got pushed out. I'm talking about far east region. It's just a trend that I saw here and on reddit. Once they clear this quarterly backlog, they should...

    Well.. good question.. I've run these scenarios in my mind several times. I'm almost certain we will get at least half the tax credit. If it comes to that, I will have to run by my options. Do I purchase the car with half the credit? Will Tesla make any adjustment to offset the difference? Tesla...

    I totally agree... one of the 888 reps that I'd called was able to give me so many details like "this is your soft delivery date for now, which can obviously change", "we're looking at a VIN assignment period between such and such date", "these vehicles are coming over in case you wanna match"...

    Like someone quoted, this is my situation as well 🤪; Wake up - open Tesla App and see the same EDD or worse a pushed-out EDD. Click Manage - go to Tesla website and see the same EDD with no VIN showing up. Hit Control U to search for VIN in the source code, but to no avail. See lots of...

    This "Wouldn't be surprised to see Tesla offer $3750-7500 discounts to offset any credits lost, similar to what we've seen them do in other markets.".. yes I'm expecting. They did that in Dec 2022.. won't be offered until very late in the game though.

    Yes I meant this based on what I read in IRS and other articles and what you've quoted above from the IRS website " o qualify at all, Final Assembly of the vehicle needs to be in North America. $3,750 credit: At least 50% of the value of the battery components need to be manufactured or...

    Tesla would still qualify for the $3750 part of the tax credit, which accounts for the assembly. The other $3750 for mining critical battery components is the one in question. Will the Feds keep a strict regulation of 60%? Will they keep the clause on procuring from free trade countries? Will...

    I have to agree... that's what my inference was as well (in addition to servicing nearby areas or currently planned logistical routes for the remainder of the quarter). This is an example of someone who lives just beside the factory (ordered way late in the game when they mentioned that MYLR was...

    With that OD for a basic config, the EDD range sucks tbh. I check the app only once in the morning. Updates to EDD happen only right after 9 EST, perhaps 10 EDT now. The only time I frantically refreshed my app more frequently was between Mar 7 to Mar 11 when my EDD date range was just a couple...

    You're an EV patron, or rather a Tesla patron :D . It is words from patrons like you that encouraged me to buy one; that coupled with the incentives of course.

    VINs can happen anytime throughout the day - be on the lookout. As days pass, if you're still slotted for March, an Austin build looks more or less likely for you. Those who got Fremont VINs for NC last week have EDDs in the Mar 28-31 range. They need to build yours today at Fremont, or it's...

    All those whose dates have been pulled back to March with a tow hitch, I'm seeing VINs assigned in reddit and other forums. That hitch is seriously pulling some weight :p. Good luck and on your toes - hope they can fulfill all yours this month as promised, before they run out of the...
