I think Tesla will capture the 6% in profit rather than pass along the savings.
That is not in accordance with their stated policy, and indeed not in accordance with how they have priced the cars in different markets.

+1 and that would hurt sales. People will know and speak with their wallet.That is not in accordance with their stated policy, and indeed not in accordance with how they have priced the cars in different markets.
Based on huge Model 3 production consuming all the batteries produced by the Gigafactory.
It even says in the link that TM will continue to purchase batteries from Panasonic overseas after the Gigafactory opens.
When you go to the order page the maximum deferral is to Jan. 2016I was previously informed that it was "up to 6 months".
The feedback I got over the phone was that it could be extended beyond that. I didn't ask about hard limits though.When you go to the order page the maximum deferral is to Jan. 2016

I'm in the same position as you, waiting for the 2016 model and potentially "surprise" features from Model X, and paid deposit on July 31st to lock in the price.
You absolutely need to order by Aug. 10 as there will be a price increase. You pay $2500 when you order. That price is protected and you can defer delivery until January 2016
Well, I just caught a weird bug in the design studio this morning that goes away as soon as I refresh.
The totals after incentive & gas saving are 8K$ higher than normal (current) for each of the three models and the one selected appearing on the right side is not in synch with this total, i.e. it still shows the right (current) price...
You're privy to draw your own conclusions...

Possibly just a glitch with the rebate, because for me in Ontario the difference is $8500 (rebate amount)
... If I max defer, how sure are you that it would be considered a 2016?...
Someone mentioned deferring specifically for getting a 2016 vehicle... but would that be the case? Or would it still be a 2015 based on model year available at order time? I mean, most cars bring out "next year's model" as early as August (most around October I'm guessing). I'm in the same boat... waffling on the decision but ready to put down a deposit. If I max defer, how sure are you that it would be considered a 2016? That matters for resale, but also insurance.
And, more importantly, it might matter to the person that you try to sell your car to in 3-4 years and cost you a few $1000.Thanks. And I understand and appreciate that they don't want to follow archaic paradigms. But the fact is, it is a car and car's have regulations and ingrained expectations. So whether or not Tesla wants to call my car a 2015 or a 2016 may make no difference to them. It does to me
No you didn't. There may be so many new goodies in a 2019 Model S, or the successor to the Model S, that you will want to upgrade. IMHO that is one of the few downsides to buying a Tesla - the technology curve is so much steeper than ICE cars. In that way a Tesla is like a Smartphone in that it will seem very obsolete in just a few years.If I'm selling this car in 3-4 years then I made the wrong decision 3-4 years earlier.
