Oh I have seen that before! I actually got a ticket once that way... there was another cop stopped that I didn't see, stepped out into the lane and flagged me to stop... bam ticket... I think its more about the extreme stopping, if you can see the cop they have seen you and your speed is already logged. No need to cause an accident or traffic and make things worse!
Well, it sounds like it’s also a money thing if they can potentially make $6,500 more on that car this quarter and the risk is you walk away and someone else buys it for the then market price. Totally sucks.Trust me I looked, I even found one that matched my build. But I have a preorder reservation so my pricing is 6500 lower than what they are selling for now (FSD was only 5k then) and I am not about to give away that much money just to get an inventory car.
Yay! Looks like the stole someone's VIN and you are the proud new owner! ROFL
If 6500 is going to affect their Q2 numbers that much they are doing something very very wrong
Thanks for the report! That is good to know... I have been contemplating it a lot myself
Think that a sales manager who can sell a product for 10% more and make Q2 numbers look better is very right. Try to see clearly what they care about. An old car order might not be for you at that price level any more, or it can be months before you find a match in your account, if ever.
Well said, well said!!!Here's the issue though: there was (still is) and extreme amount of ambiguity during Q2. With the containment hold, switch to Vision, parts issues, etc. dates for pretty much everyone were flying all over the place. To put it in perspective, I once had an EDD of mid-May. It is now 6 weeks later and I still don't have a car. I can honestly say my EDD has changed at least 25 times since I ordered. For some, it's not a big deal and you get it when you get it. For others, there is a lot to plan around a new car. What do you do with your existing car? What about financing? Should I do it now and risk having to re-apply which can affect credit? Or should I wait? My old car's registration was due on May 1 so I had to make the call then to either sell my car, or pay the registration. At that time my EDD was mid to late May so I sold it. Had I known it was going to be at least another 6 weeks, I probably wouldn't have done that. Ultimately it hasn't affected me that much because we have another car in the household. But not everyone has that luxury.
I guess what I'm saying is let's see how patient you are when it's been another 4, 6, even 8 weeks from now and you still haven't received your car.
Nice! If I hadn’t opted to lease this time around I’d definitely spring for the boost.
Well said, well said!!!
For those that are patient and can wait an extra few weeks, good for you! But if you're like me, who also sold their car based on a Mid-May EDD, it's been a very expensive and frustrating wait time. When I bought our M3 last year on May 3oth, we got a VIN 2 weeks later. So this experience was something I NEVER expected. As many times as I was upset to see a May or June order get a VIN, for the most part, this "community" has given me more information and support than I could get from any live person at Tesla. I shudder to think how I would be dealing with all of this without knowing what the heck was going on with no answers.
I want to say thanks to each and every one of you! Keep reporting your experiences, good or bad.
And they don’t even say, “here’s 10K in free supercharger miles for your inconvenience!”
April 6th order here, no vin, no JUNE txt message, late July/early August edd for the past week
Would you say there is increased power between 30-60 mph? I'm trying to figure out where the sweet spot / power band is most noticeable.
I ordered May 1st. My EDD keeps shifting between the end of July and the end of September. I live 75 miles from Fremont.
Another thing I just remembered... They passed a statewide law around here a few years back, that says that when there is an emergency vehicle pulled over on the side of the road with the emergency lights on, you are required to change lanes into the next lane over, to leave the lane adjacent to the emergency vehicle clear... If you are unable to safely change lanes, you are required to slow to a minimum of 5 mph under the posted speed limit... I remember they did several stings a while back, where they had a cop on the shoulder with the emergency lights flashing...A fleet of motorcycle cops waiting just ahead, pulled over anyone that didn't either change lanes, or slow down to under the limit.
I can't speak to picking it up but I ordered a MY from inventory at a dealer in the Northeast (PA I think) and had it shipped to me. Shipping took about a week. My wife and I have looked over the car and saw only one issue, which was a crease or indent in one of the back seats. I opened a ticket and they are replacing the seat next week. Overall, I would say I am happy. Would love to not have to deal with the seat issue but will get fixed quickly and everything else was perfect. I love the car!
