Similar to my state, Massachusetts reduces the sales tax on the new vehicle by the tax on the amount of the trade-in. Was your Carmax offer enough to offset the tax difference? I found that Carmax gave me a couple hundred $ more than Tesla but not nearly enough to offset the sales tax difference. But my trade-in value from Tesla is soon expiring due to the long wait so I may have to revisit Carmax.Hey all,
First time posting, ordered 5/3 for a MY LR, DBM. Most of you have great SAs that keep you posted! I ordered out of Peabody, MA and still waiting on a date, it previously showed 6/18 - 6/30 but as of last week has remained on 6-9 weeks. I ended up emailing my SA today and their response was without a VIN they wont have any updates. In my experience i got a lot more from Carmax than i did trading into Tesla, i ended up selling early to save money and a higher trade in value, now it's just impatiently waiting for my car! haha

Oh wow, so the MSRP is what caps the rebate? I looked at the site the other day and didn’t see that. So we really just need to take delivery ASAP!

The delivery specialist I talked to was very clear that order date is just one of the factors in the system that determines who’s next for a VIN/delivery. Config, location, what your SC actually gets and when, how many folks decline delivery, etc all play a factor.
I know this will mostly fall on deaf ears but there’s a pretty good potential that people will get their car before you even though they ordered well after you. People are going to get pissed (maybe rightfully so) but it’s a fact.

I think it's probably worth getting offers from a few places like Vroom, Carmax, Carvana, etc., and going with the highest offer. For me, Carvana offered almost $4K more than Vroom. I'm sure it's just based on demand in your market.
well see, i considered that, but when Tesla quoted my 17 civic for 19500 (what made me go for it since it matched what i still owed), but their final offer dropped to 12k, to not be upside down, i took Carmax's 22k offer on my car and deal with the consequences later

Very similar experience. Whole process took less than 15 minutes. All the woman checked was the odometer and took a couple of pictures. Money was in my account the next day.

I'm sure their web team is working on it. Do you expect a press release about their team structure changing or something? They may not have the headcount that they need to do the job properly, it might be problems with AWS or CMS... sure it's irritating but certainly firing folks from their team while the site is glitchy isn't going to solve anything. Tesla is a miserable place to work. Cut them some slack.

Budding EV fanatic.
stuck at June 19-30 for a few days,
estimate was 5-9 weeks from April 6th. Tomorrow marks 7 weeks. I reached out to my SA-no reply.

I sold to them... beat Tesla's offer by $4K. They showed up at my house to pick up car... gone in 15 minutes... so easy I was concerned it was a scam.
Problem is that they took my car a month ago and I'm still waiting on my car.
With inventory being as low as it is, also makes me think I might have been able to get more.

My reading of this forum is that these considerations are only part of the equation. Location (east vs. west coast, for example) also plays a factor. The order date may have less influence than other factors.

The data bears that out a little, yes, but not in any of the ways people have talked about in this thread
Just ranting
. I am sure they are trying very hard on improving it. I know most people working at Tesla are very proud of being Tesla guy and they all cherish their reputation of the great company. Hate to see this persistent customer account issue gives every new Tesla customer a really bad first impression and I believe it also tarnish the Tesla name we all love and respect.

SA told me they haven't delivered a single Model Y in April-March and that they haven't gotten any at all...
Made $13k more by selling privately than I would have had I gone thru tesla trade-in

I have a MY LR DBM on order from Dedham! ordered 4/22, 7 seater/black interior/no FSD - hopefully we are not competing for the same config!. Fingers crossed we get some good news in the coming days/weeks in the Northeast!Hey all,

So I had to take the wife’s S60 in for service today (free since it’s one of its first three, thanks Volvo) and drive this beauty. Hybrid engine, it’s not a Tesla, or have the battery range…but damn it’s sexy and I know it’s a Volvo, but my last one saved my life….
Alfa Romeo Stelvio 2018.. not sure why Tesla gave such a lowball.. other companies were reasonable but you always make more selling directly to consumer
