Makes ZERO sense. Why wouldn't they want them all to qualify for the tax credit?!?

It's possible that they know how many cars they can manufacture in a timely manner based on colors chosen. So, if red happens to be the most expensive, then i imagine it's also the most difficult color to mass produce. Then there's supply and demand. If the demand is there along with supply, then they know they can raise the price to keep up with demand but leave the red out of it.
Couldn’t write Tesla? The new Model 3 definitely has full matrix LEDs. Says right on the window sheet that came with mine.

Not everyone qualifies for the tax credit so they want to capture more margin for those who don’t qualify.
It's lower resolution than the old ones. 62 LEDs on the highland
Hella SSL100 as its name implies is uses 100 LEDs Technology & Products / 10.03.2020 | HELLA. Most of the 100 LEDs were mostly dedicated to the highbeams with the previous design (bottom row was used to set regional differences in beam pattern). Low beams were mostly the reflector portion
Now 100 LEDs is still very low compared to other manufacturers. Porsche uses 16k LEDs for example, and I don't think that's even the highest.

I think it’s a great color that’s why it’s always confused me why I never see it. And blue cars in general are popular. I may get it in the new M3P if they don’t lower the price back so I can get ultra red under MSRP limits
I wouldn't worry about the IRA getting repealed anytime soon if ever. A lot of things would have to happen to make that possible.
I mean there’s literally Tesla documentation above showing it has fewer LEDs and they’re not even dedicated to the high beams like before. It’s absolutely lower “resolution”.
The new headlights are better than the previous ones. If the new ones aren’t dedicated to the high beams then it is better.
My order used to say May-June for delivery but now says June same thing on the website for new orders. I got my order in just a couple minutes after the website went live too. Anyone still say May-June?
I’m making no claims about the headlight performance in terms of Illuminatng the road. But it’s objective fact that there are fewer LEDs being used to cover a broader range of functions. Hence lower resolution and not having the capability of projecting the word Tesla.
From a pure *matrix* point of view (ie selective dimming), the pre highland headlights will be superior.
A ton of the early orders went to “June” delivery today.
I got my confirmation email at 12:24 PM Eastern on 4/23/24 and mine went to June for estimated delivery today. What time did you get your confirmation email?

Mine has also been updated to June. Stealth Grey/black.
I will get into a predicament of not being able to take delivery if my date is after June 11 because I'll be out of the country for two and a half weeks and won't get back until July.

The new M3P is a nice, clean-looking vehicle with great stats.
To me, however, those are some butt-ugly wheels!

I received my order confirmation email on 4/23 at 1:55pm pacific time.
I’m assuming orders went live at noon eastern? I checked the website between 11:30 and 11:45 and it was not up at that time. Anyone know the exact time for sure?
