Any risks ordering inventory cars?

[Michael24]

Picked up an inventory car yesterday. If the renders are close to the real thing, looks kinda like a new Prius. Also, if rumors are true, I’d prefer stalks. I’d expect the prices to be higher for the new models, too. Between the inventory discount and federal/state rebates, it was hard to pass up.

Yup, the discount and the rebates automatically made me buy one. M3RWD for me is my daily driver. Since I have a model S in the garage which made it easy for to choose this. For $37,840 plus the fed rebate and state rebate, it’s no brainer. Cheaper than any decent car available.

Don’t forget, anything that is new, the wait time usually is longer than normal. By the time I can get the refresh model 3, it will be the time I’m going to trade my current M3RWD to a new one.

Splurged a bit and upgraded to the sport 19” rims; that was $39,240. Not a fan of hubcaps. So far so good though; car shows 273@100% SoC; 6 more than rated. Wife’s new daily and she’s lovin’ it. Happy wife, happy life!

Congrats! Amazing deal. Happy wife happy life. I kinda splurge on getting her the S 21” for the boss girl. That’s why I got the cheapest possible combo. If Tesla sells 17 inch for $1k less I’ll take it. Lol. His and hers from existing inventory discounts

I had my dream Tesla garage with a 2021 M3P (red + white interior) ... a 2023 MX (ultra red + white) ... 3 Powerwalls ... and 2 Gen 3 Wall Connectors.

Then Tesla's service was just absolutely rubbish and the MX had to get lemoned out. Then Tesla told me their cars are all prone to failure where they stall on roadways... so and anyone actually interested in safety shouldn't buy Tesla because stalling = fine. So I've sold those two Teslas.

Saw the discounts and decided to jump on a M3P, blue with MSRP just under the 55k mark, discounted to 51k and then the 7500 tax credit. 43k for a performance model is a crazy good deal! I currently have a 19 long range that has given me 93k trouble free miles and still rides/drives like new. Selling it to my son for the trade value, he is thrilled. Given the current car market these are some killer deals. I see some people saying they will wait for 24 models but I am sure the prices will jump considerably. If you’re in the market get one!

I agree, I was 2 days early for the additional 3 months of free supercharging. With the rates here in SoCal during peak time at 50 cents and up, that’s a great value since I drive 1.5k miles easily a month. Btw, I’m just being greedy now. Lol

I just jumped on an inventory Model 3 also. The deal cant be beat. Referred myself also. I wonder how long it takes to get the delivery call.

 

[ewoodrick]

What’s everyone’s thoughts on buying an inventory model 3? Price is pretty good but it looks like a new one may be coming out. Hold off? It’s a work car

They are awesome deals right now.

Same thing happened with the Model S refresh.

The worse thing? you don't get to experience of the anticipation for weeks waiting on your car.

Yup, I got the car before my Amazon delivery for my floor mats arrived. Tesla beat it by a day. Lol

I keep checking for a white M3P coming to my state but nothing….

Work with a sales advisor. I got my model S spec through the SA. There’s existing inventory that doesn't show up on their website but they can see what's coming.

Placed an order for an inventory M3 RWD on Friday. When I went to pay on Saturday, Tesla had raised the price $210. Didn't catch it before paying. Contacted my manager, says he will fix it. He said that happened to several buyers Saturday. Not good, Tesla. A deal is a deal.

You have NEVER bought a new car from a dealer then. It's pretty much a guarantee that some stupid fee gets added.

But I'm not sure why you seemed to be complaining, they are going to fixe it aren't they?

Dear ewoodrick, I can see from your insult why you are a 'well-known' forum member. In answer to your false assumptions: First- this will be my fifth Tesla, so I have plenty of new car buying experience, especially Teslas. (Wrong on point one.) Second- I am not complaining, I am informing this forum's members in case they were one of the many who were overcharged. This was not some stupid added fee, even if you are an expert on stupid. (Strike two.) Have a great day.

The you should have realized that it seemed to be an honest mistake that was rectified.

Read what I said, not just what you wrote. Come back when you can be civil.

Thanks for the feedback. Kinda my thought as well.

Just got my inventory car. Fresh off the trailer, discounts are just to goose sales and clear production for Highland.
