If you're ordering a RWD I don't see how you'd not get a new built car in the next 4 months.No discount. The only benefit is immediate delivery and surety of qualifying for the full federal rebate. When they offered me early delivery the agent assured me this is a new build off the line and claimed it was due to the Sept production push...
Definitely curious why the car has been sitting around that long not sold. Selling me a VIN 2017 car at 2018 price without disclosure just rubs me the wrong way. On the resell market it's probably a $2k loss on the value right off the bat. I'll probably still end up losing that much in tax credits if the new car isn't delivered by Dec.
I talked to someone last weekend who's wife had the Gen 1 and he had Gen 2. They were indifferent about the change.
Well it was the husband I talked to, so more accurate for me to say he was indifferent about it.Odd ... weird, even
I'm also concerned about a battery that's likely been sitting in a discharged state for almost a year and what reason it's not been put into delivery. A re-worked car? Loaner? Test vehicle employee take out to lunches?
It has 56 miles on the odometer.
I wouldn’t want a 2017 VIN simply for resale value. We’re headed in to the 2019 model year and it would pain me to have a brand new car “two years old.”
Just my opinion. Also the ‘17 suspension is rock hard and the back seat is flat and uncomfortable.
They should turn them into loaners, then after 10,000 miles on the odomoter, fix them up and sell them as inventory vehicles with a discount. That could easily soak up the old inventory Tesla has sitting around that gets hand-repair-treatment to get into service, and still have very happy customers getting some fairly newish Model 3's at a discount. Also, it would allow Tesla's less expensive to build cars to fill their loaner program rather than their more expensive Model S's and Model X's.If they give you a meaningful discount (say $5K), might be worth taking it if there are no problems
But he would have had the OMG full orange back window!!111 ...In this circumstance, @amoeba rightfully rejected the car.
Though with Tesla’s, Model year don’t tell the whole story.
I took delivery of a 2016 AP2 Model X in December. Same Saturday that Rogue One came out, much better than the hot garbage subsequent two movies.
Savvy buyers looking for unlimited supercharging that follows the car would know mine qualifies by definition.
Hunting for a 2017 Model X will likely lead to disappointment / buying risk. Owner can tell you it has FUSC but more difficult to verify unless buyer or owner is very knowledgeable on the nuances.
In short, can someone explain to me what the whole VIN thing is about? People are always talking about it and obsessing over it. How do you know if its an early build or a new build by vin?

...fast forward to 1 year from now: "Can you believe the nerve of Tesla? They tried to force VIN 250,091onto me but I rightfully rejected! I want a VIN in the 260k range!"
The stress level on this board is amazing.
Gen1 seats work out for you?
