I understand the tax benefit of trading in cars but... If your willing to sell the car yourself privately the gain can be substantial! I know you know that, but just a reminder.... I sold mine on Craigslist asked exactly the KBB average retail. Had many inquiries.Carmax is technically the same as Tesla with the tax savings on trade in. Carvana is $10k less
I’ll take a look and see if anyone is offering more but I doubt it (2022 Ioniq 5)

Hmmm this is an interesting theory. Maybe there are April delays due to some updated design?

Just got a message from Tesla Raleigh to schedule the delivery time on 03/23. Thank you so much for the support !!
I am glad you are getting your Tesla soon! You have been waiting in line quite long!
Mine was also Austin built on 3/7, but I took delivery 3/15. Location is a big factor.
Ayuh, we're from Maine. Grew up just outside of Portland but now our summer home is in the western mountains not far from N Conway, NH.
I just completed my post delivery survey and gave them a lot of feedback on their EDD process and managing customer expectations. I actually suggested someone there join this forum and read some of the comments here. It still floors me that on 3/7, the day my car was on the line being built in Austin, they pushed my EDD from 3/10-3/31 out to 4/16-5/21. Then, less than 20 hours later, I woke up to a VIN in my app. We had spent the whole day on 3/7 looking at new ICE vehicles as the 4/16-5/21 window was not going to work as we'd be long gone to Maine. Glad I decided to sleep on the ICE purchase overnight.
I was very pleased with my build. There was one small paint blem near the front of the front passenger door by the rocker panel. I had actually driven my bike down to look at it the day before delivery and found it. A guy was actually getting ready to detail it so I showed him and it was gone and looked fine when I picked it up. They're pushing hard to bolster those Q1 numbers for stockholders so hope you hear something soon!I’ll look into it, I do have a loan on the car so I would have to payoff the car first.
Which car did you sell?
Agreed! Here's my trade offer from Tesla:
Trade-In Estimate
$40,468
I sold it on Craigslist for $52,500. Almost had people fighting over it. The other issue is that we wait so damn long for these cars that I've seen many on here who got less than the original offer when it was re-priced at delivery/trade in time. My sales tax was $3452, so I netted a gain of $9048 selling it myself.
It's been a week since my OD (3/14) and my EDD still says April-June. I'm definitely expecting the delivery to be on the latter end of that estimate, but should the EDD have updated at this point to a bit of a more specific time frame? I completed the registration and trade-in pre-delivery tasks but that's it as I don't want to say I'm financing until I have my VIN. Any clarity is appreciated!
Breaking news - VIN Assigned and scheduled delivery yeeeeeaaaaaa!!!!
I have taken delivery of MYP W/W at Plano, TX last Friday. Delivery experience is very smooth and also they have given ample time to check interior or any other detail before accepting. I couldn't find any issues (even minor issues) even though I had a long checklist. So overall its great experience. Drive is very smooth unlike many other complained about MYP. So overall I am very happy with my choice. Good luck everyone else.
Tesla's trade-in offer is usually an undermining one, from my experience, what I've heard from friends and from what I've read in this forum. Tesla offered me $34500 for my 4 year old 4 series convertible, and CarMax offered me $36K. Eventually, I sold it after posting on FB marketplace for $39500. At that time, median kbb trade-in value for a very good vehicle was $38500, and private party value was $40,500. There was no way I was going to sell it for 34.5K or 36K.
do they wait until the car landed then send out the scheduling text or they do that prior to car landing? I need to arrange my lease return and I dont know how early should i be returning, SA been saying my car will land on 28th and my leased car inspection is up on 31st! there will be no point for me to inspect the car for merely few days if i am returning it early anyway.
What kind of car, and do you know if you have any equity in the lease that you might be able to use towards the Tesla? You might want to reach out to NYC located Equityhackr and see what they can do. My early lease return went from the contracted $3000 payment to end the lease, to almoist $1300 in my pocket. It took me two days to do it, but that was because i couldn't give up the car the first day.

I still am waiting for my VIN.
OD = 1/30 - MYLR W/W 19" 5 No tow/No upgrades
EDD 1: Feb-Mar
EDD 2: Mar 14 - Mar 31
EDD 3: Apr 10 - May 22
EDD 4: Apr 14 - May 19
There have been no updates other than this. EDD 4 is from March 10th. I've read many posts on this forum and looks like Tesla has no fixed method of assigning VIN.

add your delivery info in signature field as its in mine. That signature will show up after you have 6 posts.
They usually do not. My car was in transit when I scheduled it. However, I had to call the pickup location to schedule as the schedule delivery option in the app was disabled. I recommend calling the location and trying your luck to schedule it that way. Also, if it is coming on 28th then there's a greater chance that you won't be able to pick it up before 30th
I am not sure where the signature field is and my delivery has not yet been scheduled, nor have I been assigned a VIN.
