My MSRP remained the same. I just had the SA assign the VIN to me. All that matters is the order RN# date - they will grandfather that MSRP if you have an older order date.

I was thinking the same thing. I would not put it past them
I wonder how long the extended dates will stay?

Sweet, thanks! I have both reservations, but if I can get a $500 discount, I will take it!
Yep, I noticed that too.
I have a pretty good SA and had reached out to him regarding finding a match sooner. He couldn’t find an exact match, quite different than the one we ordered actually, but at least he tried.
We ordered all basic white, black interiors, 19”, with tow hitch.
SA came back with red, 20” wheels, and no tow hitch. However, it was available AT THE SC and brand new. It also had a paint scratch and most likely rejected recently. Interesting part was the SA said I only had 5 minutes to decide before the car gets auto-matched to someone else. We passed on the car.
Later, SA reached out with a demo car but it was even more expensive than the previous new red one, AND the demo car had 3k miles. At that mileage I don’t think you can register or title it as new anymore and wouldn’t qualify for any tax rebates (if they were available).
Yeah, that I understand and it's really sucks the way Tesla does this, but the SA I spoke with said anyone can assign you the VIN.
The store that I ordered from closes at 9PM PST. My SA wasn't working, so the new SA assigned the VIN to me.
Hoping it doesn’t change for you @Tesslady , but we also ordered 5/9 Mother’s Day and our EDD was updated this morning to July 2 - 20. :/I ordered 5-9 and shows EDD no later than 6-30 as well. I hope it doesn't go past that

Yeah I got the impression when talking to my SA today that as long as the config is identical to you current order, they can keep the grandfathered price. But if there’s anything different, including removing FSD, then you have to pay the new price.
Are you saying you didn’t actually “buy” the car with the $100 order fee but called your SA and had them assign that VIN to your original order? If so, you were lucky it wasn’t bought before you reached your SA. What about transport charges?

I’m confused. So you’re saying if your original order has 19” wheels but the demo car has 20”, you get it at the price it was with the 20” wheels when you originally placed the order? I don’t think that’s right.
Demo cars will (normally) still be considered new, as you will be the first person the cars been sold to and registered under. That would make you eligible for tax credits. Unfortunately some dealers stupidly register their demo units and it jacks everything up for all involved.
Tomorrow will mark one entire week since I received my VIN assignment. Sadly, absolutely no news about final payment or delivery scheduling as of yet.
It’s so frustrating.
I talked to someone at my SC who said the VINs are assigned as soon as the cars are built and that it can take time for the cars to actually be shipped to your local SC.
I see.
Also looked it up and, in California, a car is still considered new as long as it has under 7,500 miles on the odometer (and hasn't been registered obviously).
