Do you only get two chances to refuse a VIN due to quality not up to your requirements/specs and you have to lose the $250 after that?

Yes - according to my SA, by the second rejection, Tesla considers that it has fulfilled it’s obligation to the order, regardless of the build quality of the vehicles. There is no getting back the $250.
So Tesla just has to attempt to deliver garbage twice before taking your money. Lame. Too bad legit competition is still years away and they will probably adopt similar lame behavior.
And how many MMEs did they move in January? A 1000?Hey, it's a brilliant move on the part of Ford. Honestly. They probably saw what Tesla did and how upset people became and then lowered their prices and did what everybody was hoping Tesla would do just to show Tesla up.

I thought about waiting for HW4. That will be cool. But figured I’d rather have a new car now and then trade up in a couple years …. Figuring HW4 will take a while to get Cyberteuck ramped up first and then move on to Y and 3.
If you qualify for tax credit and want a M3RW buying now seems like a no brainer.
Depends on if you mean sales or deliveries. Probably somewhere between 1000-5000 deliveries looks like based on last years numbers per month.
I've been thinking about how I would feel if Tesla reduces the MYLR even further in the latter part of March and I take delivery before then. I feel that I must accept that may occur if the battery requirements guidance is not favorable for the 2170 battery pack causing a drop in demand and cancellations of open orders. You know that saying, 'Bird in hand is better than two in the bush.'
You may still get the full federal tax credit, it is not a rebate. I think a lot of people don't know this and will be shocked when they only receive $3000 with tax credits when they file taxes next year. These credits also do not carry over like solar installations did. If you only have $5000 federal taxes due, that is all you will get with the credit.
The government doesn't know what they are doing at this point. In my opinion, it will be here through the summer before they actually institute their changes to the credit. From the IRS, "The Treasury Department and the IRS anticipate issuing the proposed guidance in March." The government anticipating means to throw another 6 months past that date.

With all of the MYSRs starting to enter existing inventory, my guess is the "Model Y price drops" will really be a shift of manufacturing and sales on the MYSRs, which can stay under 55k. I can't imagine MYLR moving down much further as MYSRs ramping up as we speak.
If you can buy a new car at the 50+ k average price, your tax liability is probably high enough.You may still get the full federal tax credit, it is not a rebate.

Meanwhile, Machin is trying to retro the credit to enforce the domestic requirements as of Jan 1, being the nice jerk that he is. Probably won't succeed, now that he's no longer capable of holding up Senate business by himself.

More likely with the ramp up of Austin production was outrunning demand and Tesla would rather sell two at $20K profit than one at $35k.
But will Tesla now raise prices given that they have significant margin towards the 80K ceiling?
