True, but assuming they will, the strategy has to be to bury these older orders in a quarter that Shanghai is back up so the low margin older orders are less impactful to the quarterly performance numbers.

Outside of a huge increase in production capacity, pretty much the only way is if news outlets start putting out stories about people being in delivery purgatory and getting bumped down the queue in favor of higher-priced orders. Otherwise, people locked in at much lower prices will continue to be sidelined (I'm sure Tesla will toss a bone to a few here and there).
The ethical thing to do is stop taking orders and instead go back to a pre order model.
In other words, put down $100 like people did for the cyber truck. You can get back the $100 any time you wish. And when the backlog isn’t insane, start reaching out to people to put in an official order.
But again, Tesla is not acting ethically here
That's what Rivian went to after their pricing slip-up. Put down a deposit, but no pricing or configuration info is saved until you are closer to delivery and then they reach out to configure the latest and greatest.
Wonder what the rational is for nit switching to the CT model given not only the backlog, but the price/cost liability they are assuming with continuing this model.
Cyber truck model for presale... what you said in your post.
Shockingly---VIN'd this morning! EDD 6/29 - 7/3.
They do exist!!
/M&M santa commercial
And as of today it's now an extra $23k in revenue for the exact same car i ordered in Aug (11k for the car, 12k for FSD, which is remotely enable software only).
If I don't get a VIN soon, I truly doubt my order gets filled, there just isn't any reason for them to do so, and they aren't compelled in any way to do so. Why wouldn't they just give back my 100 bucks and toss me on the street. It's not like there is any downside to exchanging $100 for $23,000.
Edit: My EDD remains "June 2022" so still hanging in June Jail.

Ridiculous right?
You can easily sell your car or reservation and make some money. A bit of a hassle, but for several thousand dollars, might be worth it.
The logic is now Tesla won't intentionally fulfill my order because they've raised the price of a new order? If this is directed at me I'm not talking about resale, I'm referring facts from their website and my still unfulfilled order.
No idea if this is still accurate because I don't care and have no desire to sell it.

The logic of Tesla aiming to maximize profits should force them to the presale model or fulfill every fsd Y order they receive today w/ the $3k markup. One would think they’re trying to balance max profit with fulfilling older orders. Maybe 1 old order per 10 new per 100 fsd… sigh
I hypothesized about that towards the end of May. Using the tmc tracker, I was looking at the number of 7s that got VINs, the number that didn't have FSD and the number that were ordered before me. Extrapolating those small and unscientific numbers, I'm on pace for a VIN in Nov
. Just wish this would end... 400+ miles a week in my 12-year old ICE, even before the recent gas spike, is beyond old.
Right there with you! Aug 4th OD. Seeing all these Vins for 7 seaters with my config being placed and mine just sitting there with no update is making me a bit upset. Happy for those who got lucky though. Hopefully our time to shine is coming. We will see.I hypothesized about that towards the end of May.

I am giving up for now. I will not check the forums anymore but will take delivery whenever it comes. These forums would have helped if there is any logic to the delivery as you may be able to guess based on other deliveries. Since that’s not the case, I am moving on. I will try to come back and post if and when I take delivery.
