I’m not doing it for any tax breaks or incentives.
How were you putting yours on hold? I wish there was the option to do that right in my Tesla account. When you put yours on hold did it actually say “on hold” in your account/app?

Oh, I should have elaborated on the tax break/incentive. There is a possibility of huge tax rebates (equalling the recent price increase or more of $8000+) if Pres. Biden's Bill passes in the Senate.

I said it once and I'll say it again.... betting on a controversial bill to pass the 50/50 senate is a risky bet. The R's are voting in solidarity as they pretty much always do. The D's have a couple of hold outs, one of which is a coal investor... EV tax credits will be a highly contentious issue. When it comes down to it, its likely one of the few things up for debate that will likely get changed before (if) the BBB passes.
One thing is for certain, the R's dont want to give Biden a win before xmas so you can pretty much guarantee its not passing this month. That puts us into next year. My guess is concessions will be made, the values will go down, and it will only apply to vehicles sold after the bill was enacted. Just my $0.02

I don't see the EV tax credits being that contentious (except union or made in the US rule). It's the size/cost of BBB which can be resolved if trimmed but might make it gutless. The CBO scored the EV tax credit cost to be fairly low ($55M in first year - which is crazy low).
I think BBB has a good chance of passing with some adjustments. The UAW and the Detroit automakers will definitely profit from this hence the R's can only hold out for so long.

Any disagreement is likely to draw out the process is all I'm saying. That is a disagreement on the EV tax credi,t so concessions are likely to happen in one form or another and the chances of it passing this year are getting exceedingly low.
I called sales/delivery directly and explained my situation and they placed the order on hold.
More importantly, has anyone succeeded in getting a car sooner by changing specs (other than switching to a MYP)? With the date fluctuating by 6-8 months at a time I don't think I believe anything they tell me about an EDD.
I agree I am curious if anyone has tried changing the nicer wheels to see if sooner?
You can't do this. You have to cancel your order, then reorder with the extra options.
I got a surprise today when I checked my status. Estimated delivery date moved back from March to May-July. Bummer to have to wait but could be kinda cool if it means I'll get a made in Austin Y. I doubt it, because I'm pretty sure they will start with performance but it doesn't hurt to dream.
