I am not going to lie, I really doubt the tax credit thing will happen, but I am cautiously optimistic with this push, it seems they are tying to deliver as many cars as possible in the next few days of this year
Yup that’s the same exact text I received. I went ahead and scheduled delivery for 12/31 hoping for a delay. If not, at least my car will be waiting in my driveway when I get home.
No VIN. It was more like “hey we might get your car”
door alignment issue (black strip at bottom of window sticks out maybe 1/8th inch too far at back where door opening meets rear quarter window black strip. Nothing else seems wrong. I’ll wait another day before I request appointment to fix. They probably will say it’s within spec and if so…no big deal. I’m really happy with car.
I too think that the possibility of an EV credit is very low. No point in delaying delivery. If Progressives had to pick a couple of budget line items, they would dump the EV credits and SALT exemption for "wealthy" Americans and go for income tested (but no work requirement) childcare monthly payments. It is an election year and with raging inflation, moderates are going to be reluctant to continue on the tax and spend strategy. In the end it will depend on Manchin. I personally think it is inflation is going to create havoc for lower income Americans. Spending more is only going to make it worse. US Treasury's iSavings bonds are yielding 7% right now. The next reset may be at 5%. Nice place to park funds not needed for 15 months or more. Only issue is it has a limit of $10k per person per year ($20k per couple). That would be $40k over December-January. My point is EV tax rebates are dead, but no one is saying so in DC to avoid damage to their image for not having environment as a priority.
Red look stunning. Unfortunately, by the time I realized I wanted a Red one, the prices had escalated and so decided not to change my configuration. But If I like our first Tesla, I will dump our second Lexus as well and go for another Tesla. Interestingly yesterday, my wife's car not having run for a week, needed a jump start. We have several days of negative (F) night temperatures for next 2 weeks and even the best of garages become very cold here in MN. A Tesla connected to the wall connector would be really cool for winter months in North central US/mid-west.
That’s what DC is good for, theatricality & Deception
The pressure is crazy, we are to expect more of this to happen in the days to come
If you don’t mind…how the Tuxmats look inside. Not only do we have the same build but the same choice in mats. Mine are sitting in a guest room just waiting for a MYLR.
In the next day or so will pop some photos up.
If I were you I’d take delivery. There’s no guarantee if you go on hold the car will be ready for you first of the year. You may be waiting until end of Q1, who knows.
The key is the driver side mat. Look forward to seeing that and also the cargo area if it bends easily for accessing the trunk.
The driverside is perfect and goes up well above the dead pedal location.
yes, the range will drop for sure. But as long as I can get my car started that will be fine. My longest trip is generally to your state (Kenosha). With a super charger network along I-94, I am fine charging along the way and having some breaks. My main worry about my MYLR is how it behaves when the streets are not cleared of snow. The ground clearance is much less than my current 8.2" on the Lexus SUV.
It is highly likely you are next for delivery. I think they are keen to clear August bookings. They are focused on selling cars that can be "delivered", meaning close to Fremont for the end of quarter. But it is highly likely you will receive a VIN soon.
