I thought the VIN method only worked for S/X?

Tesla confirms new full self-driving computer is in production, will demonstrate capability this month

Lets switch gears for a moment; If they give me a VIN how do I verify that it is a late build? Digit 10 on the VIN should be "K" Does anyone have any clue on what digits 13-17 are up to now??? I.e. what digits are late April builds?

Exactly this. To us computer nerds the HW 2.5 vs HW 3 is like the diff between an integrated graphics card vs the latest Nvidia. It doesn't matter if I'm only running some program with low demand, having powerful hardware matters (perhaps more than wheel size or paint color)

Tesla Model S, X with "Hardware 3" for Full Self-Driving now in production, inventory codes indicate HW3 in S and X. Looks like I'm gonna take delivery as late as possible

Having dual motors give you much better speed and power than having 1 motor.

yep, i pulled the trigger and bought before the price went up as well. I bought the FSD with it. My thought process was that the HW3 is unlikely to be announced anyways before June so i might as well take advantage of the price drop for now. What if Elon knew the game theory behind it and...

So if I buy now the car is $2k cheaper. Than if I buy in April like I planned. But I could just deposited and buy now and take delivery in late May still and save $2k. Someone that has gone through the buying experience please confirm.

If I order within the next 2 days, the price is locked in no matter it I take delivery 2 months from now? Correct?

Anyone buying now to avoid the price hike?

I don't understand the context of your quote

I don't like how there is no talk about HW3....

With all the announcements I'm still sticking with my timing : placing order in may with timing to take delivery in June. Still sticking with the LR AWD. Extra 12k but it's really a different care with the extra torque. Feels like a new way to dump the inventory before they announce HW3. I...

I'd take a 2019 build over 2018 build. But the value is in the eye of the beholder. The paint means nothing to me but slight improvement in build is worth so much. Which is why I'm timing my buy in May to take advantage of the tax credit but maximize the latest build. But if the paint is...

prove to me there are car loans this cheap. Edit: NVM i found the spread sheet. thanks!

Ordering in Dec would only give you $1875 credit.

Ahhh!! I'm going with the LR AWD!! Thanks again for the help! when are you going to order yours with the timing if they DON'T announce the HW3 before June 30th?

How are you planning to time your build so you can guarantee delivery before June 30th?

HAHAHA this is precisely the kind of expertise that I needed!! I wish I could figure out how to like your post to give you more credit!!! As far as timing of the deposit and not missing the EV tax credit, when are you going to ask them to make your vehicle?

Thanks much! That makes perfect sense, could you clarify where I would go to verify the last day for the tax credit? is it mid year june 30th??

Hi guys, long time lurker, first time poster. Tesla model 3 will be my next car. I want to buy one but i want to time it to a few things. I don't have all the expertise that permeates this forum so I thought I'd ask it here: I want to time my buy to: 1. 100% guarantee i don't miss out on the...

Yep. Y'all are right. I was off on my reasoning. Most likely not I'll get the FSD + EAP now and will take delivery before July 1st. To maximize the tax credit.

Assuming I want a car with FSD HW3?

What is the cost for taking delivery now for a FSD (assuming I pay for FSD up front). Also I assumed the HW3 is projected to be before the June 31? I really appreciate your analysis. Go a step further for me: I have a car that drives just fine now. My next car will be a Tesla (most likely...

Just to clarify: The current EAP costs $5k. The FSD costs $3k on top of that? (And will have a free upgrade to HW3 when it is available?) Vs. When HW3 is standard on all cars, it'll only be $5k for EAP and no need to pay for FSD since we have the HW3 on our car already. And God knows how...
