Are you guys anticipating deals end of Q1?

[skinsfan]

Now that theres no more federal tax credit and with the release of the Model Y, i suspect that there will be some leftover inventory of model 3s towards the end of the quarter. Do you guys anticipate there being deals like there were in early-mid 2019?

I don’t see that happening. Demand is way too strong right now. Cars in inventory are selling within the day they are released.

Where is all this leftover inventory you speak of? I'm still waiting on a VIN a month after ordering... lol.

I think you got lost looking for the ipace forum?

Yeah, they can't even make the cars fast enough to fulfill the demand. I'd be shocked if they had leftover inventory vehicles. There are still people who ordered in December who haven't got their cars yet.

Tesla didn't cut pricing on the cars to line up with the rebate being reduced.

They always have in the past.

That they aren't now tells you they don't need to.

Yes. Last year was the best time for deals (if you factor in fed. rebate) now it's MSRP or Demos/Used deals

Anyone purchased from Used Inventory?

I'm curious if you can have software updates removed? Like FSD.

I have noticed there is a used Mid-Range that has been on their Used Inventory Site for a while, but has FSD on it and as a result is almost 50k. (Which I'm guessing is why no one has picked it up... when you can get LRRWD or LRAWD vehicles for not much more)

I know you can do that on New Inventory.

Seems to be very YMMV.

I've absolutely seen reports of folks getting it removed.

I've absolutely seen reports of folks being told that's "impossible" and they can't get that.

I was told that for used vehicles it's considered "part of the vehicle's features" and can't be removed. Not sure if that's the truth or what given that it seems to be a coin flip as to whether what the advisors say is correct.

Since the trade-in value presumably took account of presence of FSD, they'd be foolish to remove it and therefore reduce their margins.

Yes. That is exactly what I just did.
