Hi everyone, I'm new here and was planning on buying a MYP but since it is close to the end of 2022, I need some advice. Delivery times for MYPs are Nov-Dec 2022 currently, should I wait until the end of December to get a 2023 vehicle or does it not matter at this point since it seems like some people are getting 2023 VINs? Any advice is appreciated, thank you!
It depends on what your goal(s) is/are.
- If your goal is to get a 2023 model year, then I’d say you’re in the clear.
- If your goal is to qualify for any federal rebates to be made available after 01/01/2023, then I would say to wait to order until Christmas weekend.
(NOTE: Ordered my TESLA Model Y LR/AWD on 09/20/2022 and received my 2023 TESLA Model Y LR/AWD in NOV2022.)
Can I ask why you want a Model Y Performance? Why not order the Model Y (LR/AWD) instead and purchase the software Acceleration Boost for $2k? The Model Y Performance (0-60mph @ 3.5sec) costs $4k more than the LR/AWD (0-60mph @ 4.8sec) and has 27mi less range. For the same price as a Model Y Performance, you can buy a Model Y (LR/AWD) with 20” Induction Wheels and the software Acceleration Boost, which will provide 318mi of range (vs. 303mi with the Model Y Performance) and 0-60mph @ 4.2sec. Is 15mi increased range worth trading 1” smaller wheels and a 0.7sec slower 0-60mph time?
