I cant answer that question, But on more than one occasion ive heard that Tesla discourage the resale at a profit.
edit: its that commercial notion they discourage though.
My order date is 28/1 - hanging in there to see if I get an allocation within the next week to save the hassle of reapplying elsewhere. If there are only forklifts coming out of Shang Hai for the next few weeks, then I will probably look at someone else to lock in the rate.
The person I spoke to at Pepper said they are not locking in the rates....
28/1.... you are almost there, hope you receive your VIN soon and avoid the hassle. I am thinking to get it approved with Macquarie and hoping they still lock in the rate for coming 6 months and hope I get my VIN within 6 months.

Not sure where they are, they exist (build dates in the past) and they arent at the factory yard (Wu Wa / Jason Yang videos show that) and they arent visible at the terminal. However the Wu Wa video also showed what might be multi level parking buildings as well. So maybe in there?
Entirely possibly some will come on MC and some on VP.
I could definitely be wrong here but my SA led me to believe that your position in the queue was effected by things like how quickly you completed all the "next steps" in your account, which included securing financing if you had selected that as your method of payment. Which is why I got that all done within a few days of ordering... was anyone else told that?
Check them all. And do the same every year. Everyone's address, age, prior claims is different and it vastly changes the quotes provided.
In general the budget insurers aren't good for new premium vehicles.
And make sure you have full glass coverage.

Shop around at the time - not worth shopping around until the car is immanent. Prices might change in the months before delivery.
There's no promises that can be made. I'm a couple of weeks before you, and I personally feel confident that if not in this current batch (arriving August), then November is much more likely. Before Christmas, I feel good about it. But can't promise you anything, just vague hopes.
Yep I agree. It just seems strange that we have some drip fed VINs but not massive quantities. I can't see them not doing a large M3 run given the UK aren't expecting a ship until later in the month and the line will be closed down then (judging by the UK shipping movements thread).
Log in to your Tesla account to get a fresh security token (they have a finite lifespan) and then this URL should return something useful.

Dont forget the loyalty penalty that is in pretty much every insurer.
The longer you stay the more the insurance rates slowly rise until they are above (and sometimes way above) market.
Check every year.
Friend of mine does so through a broker for all their insurance every year and does really well out it. Your mileage may vary.
Couple of weeks ago that question prompted me to get some quotes. AAMI [where ihave my ICE] ~$1800.00. RACQ [where i have my house] $900ish.
I know where i'm going.

The drip feeding might be as they are building them too. Weird as that might sound.
We have some cars 30/6, a few 4/7 and the recent LRs (and maybe Ps) seem like they are 10/7.
So maybe instead of RHD and LHD major batches, they do big RWD, smaller LR and P batches with smaller RHD/LHD sub batches in each of the major batches? *shrug*
