I had a red VW ID.4 Pro S Plus AWD reserved with VW since August. On 1/4/2022, VW raised the MSRP by $1,500. Early Friday morning, 1/13/2023, I learned about the huge Tesla price drop on the ID.4 forum. I hadn't even been considering a Tesla Model Y because of the price. After consulting with my wife, I ordered a blue MY LR with 19" wheels. MSRP $53,990 excluding delivery charge, which was $1,700 LESS than the ID.4!
I placed my order at 10:23 am. At 10:41 am, I received an email with my MY's VIN. At 11:04 am, I received an email to schedule my Tesla delivery. I picked up my MY on 1/21/2023, just eight days after ordering.
My car was built at the Austin plant. The build quality is good. There is a minor dash rattle from the plastic faux wood dash piece that I will schedule eventually to be looked at. I cancelled my ID.4 reservation. There is an ID.4 reservation statistics website. According to what I have seen on that site, I would probably not get "my" ID.4 until maybe April or May.

For those who bought a MY last year, you have my sympathy; you got burned. However, a car (At least for me.) is a long term commitment. (5+ years). I feel fortunate. I just happened to be in the correct situation to take advantage of the price drop. I will also be able to take advantage of the Federal IRA $7,500 tax credit next year when I file my 2023 income taxes (as I also could with the ID.4).
So far I love "Marvin". ("Life, Don't talk to me about Life.")
