7 seat waiting room
- Thread starter NYMY
- Start date
I assume it depends on EDD but could be any reason. So far no one has received any other information.
well the price lock is actually in the contract. Actually delivering the vehicle? Not so much. Of course the entire contract purpose is about delivering the vehicle, but Tesla is not an ethical company.
I’m in AZ and got a text. Tesla usually sells cars to west side towards the last few weeks of a quarter. Or they usually won’t ship cars once it’s towards the end because they want to sell as many cars as possible before end of month.
Just gotta say I really applaud how civil you are being in your other thread amidst all the Tesla Fanbois.
I know
Gotcha. Looking at Kia plug-in for several reasons.
- qualify for 6500 tax credit
- 20k (ish) less than the Y!! holy moly
- Has the third row (six seater); captains chairs for the kids in 2nd row.
- Still has full panoramic roof option
- Same size (almost identical in exterior and interior dimension)
- Build quality vs Tesla
- 14 kwh battery means you're on electric for 95% of your trips (commuting/around town)
- Never have to wait at a supercharger with the gas motor.
- Somewhat of an "instant torque" feel with the electric motor. Not near a tesla of course, but its there
- An actual dashboard and screen behind the wheel (lol!)
- These are available immediately if you don't care about the color combo (4 month wait if custom order)
- Ride Quality is better; no harsh ride (probably, haven't tested the KIA)
- Apple CarPlay (this is kinda a big deal)
- Sirius XM (how does the Tesla not have this?)
- Combination of tactile buttons and screen (this is the way)

thanks man. kill em with kindness
edit: I like the one guy "you're answer shopping!"
me: isn't that the point?
They were able to match my RN to the VIN so I ended up paying the price at which I ordered the car.
They were able to match the VIN to my RN. Luckily that meant I would pay whatever price I originally agreed to. For me that was 58990 for the base price. I added FSD back at the end of May and then removed it before my VIN was confirmed. It didn't change anything for me. The car had FSD at the dealership but when I took it there was no FSD
There are a few reasons I’m still leaning to the MY.
- Current gas prices. Even though this won’t be my primary car, $7 gas still makes me pause.
- Locked in price from Oct 2021.
- Resell value of Tesla. I plan on selling the car as soon as another 7 seater EV is available.
Otherwise, I agree with everything you said. I test drove a 4 year old X5. It was so smooth…. It felt like I was driving in the clouds.
Be cautious with the hybrid electric motor though. I test drove a hybrid XC90, and when I had it on all electric mode, there is literally no torque. It’s like 90 hp driving a 2 ton beast. It’s very slow…. It works. But it’s very slow….
Agree. Resale is big for the Y and i'm there with you on the locked-in price.
But again, gas prices aren't a factor for the plug-in either. Some have suggested they fill up the kia once a month. As far as your slowness concern - It seems that the electric motor won't do all of the work if you mash the throttle. The review bros like the acceleration/torque of the plug-in.

For anyone who has the price locked in under $60k, idk don’t think you’ll find anything close to as good as value as the 7 seater Y. Mine is locked in at 53k plus the 3k 3rd row. Nothing not comes close
Smile and wave bois, smile and wave.
Oh how I wish I could go back in time to early 2021 and order a 7-seat SR Y when it would have cost me only $43k. Forget the resale value, that build would have been perfect for our daily needs. The SR+ 3 holds its own quite well, but the extra space of the Y-7 would definitely be nice.
There are plenty of cars that are cheaper than a MY7. But again, advantage Tesla due to gas price.
SoCal. After text JUNE, and asking for an update yesterday, I just received a text saying they will reach out after VIN is assigned. Looks like today's text was from a human.
