Florida Waiting Room

[pcmike]

You think I’ll get the tax break on my M3? I have not been paying attention to the reports. I called Tesla about if the hold would ruin my lowest price and they told me no and I can hold for a year. I haven’t done it yet. I will wait to drive the M3 and see if my body and mind can handle the low feel and go from there. I don’t mind waiting if I enjoy the drive. Thanks for the insight, a hold might come unless that tax break is only for Model Ys, at that point I’ll wait and just do the original plan and trade in.

If anything the tax might only be for cars $40K or less, which the M3SR+ (white with 18” aeros anyhow) is… so there is that little hedge in getting that car now.

Ordered my MYLR on 7/16 and assigned to the now infamous "October EDD" group. Afeter a few twists and turns I'm now settled into the Nov 5-25 EDD for about a week.

These dates will probably move around again as we approach the end of Q3.

I'm not expecting a VIN till mid October.

 

[DMateo]

Yeah, I might sit and wait for cause, sadly, I don’t need two cars. I’d easily keep the M3 otherwise. Currently, I have a wonderful trade-in value with Carvana and have till the 20th to give it to them, which was no problem when I had the October date. Now with this insane pushback, I might have to try again and see a huge decrease cause I’ll need to put more miles on the car, the market value stabilizes, or something happens. Currently, I’m $3000 more than what I paid for the car and $4000 more than Tesla’s offer. So this is why I’m trying to scramble numbers. I’m going to plug my car back in Carvana today with an extra 1000 miles, see how much it tanks today, and maybe judge my outcomes. I wish I could find out how much Tesla will give for an M3SR+ trade-in. People have said Tesla pays better for their own cars.

EDIT1: I just tested Carvana, and the value dropped as of 9/4/21 from $17,516 to $17,004. So, not a HUGE loss, but again, I really do not want to keep adding more miles and paying gas. Time to crunch a lot of numbers and see who wins. Sadly, I think sitting back on the crazy train is still the best option, as you have said.

EDIT2: So, I found a VIN for a 21' M3SR+ on Carvana and just wanted to test the water for trade-in value. So, Carvana: $41,070 (not excluding the ~$2500 for taxes). VROOM: *Still waiting, will update*. TESLA: *Still waiting, will update*. WeBuyAnyCar: $40951 (not excluding the ~$2500 for taxes).

I was trying to look at that with some VINs I’ve seen posted on the inventory lists and most companies are giving $1,000-2,000 less than what is shown (not including tax, delivery, and stuff) so potentially $4,000-5,000 loss. Now the LR is a different story lol. That has all the value and is the price of the MYP right now for resale which is NUTS. Pretty much if a LR owner wanted a MYP but didn’t want to pay that price before now has a chance to get one for pretty much nothing extra. I’m just going to hold off and hope everything goes back to normal.

Wasnt referring to trade ins, on Auto Trader, I've seen some MYP's go for low to mid 70's.

Oooooooooh that makes sense. I bought the M3SR+ and these are selling for $47000 so that’s good for me. This way I don’t have to pull financial info just yet. But thanks I’m going to do that for sure with this car. Still debating holding my MY now in hopes for a Texas built one.

Texas build might or might not be worth it, time will tell. M3 is definitely a cool car. I was conflicted myself and ultimately ponied up for the MYP.... Ticks all my boxes and I love it

Trust me, it ticks my boxes but that price didn’t. But, what I might still do is get my LR and just enjoy it then sell it because I did save $5000 from the normal price and can use that extra I get from it to get the MYP. I hate to admit it but I test drove a model 3 P and I enjoyed the speed too much. It’s bad. But time will tell on what I do. So many options right now and the market is HOT

can I barrow your car to see the speed lol

Just get a Plaid. What’s $2k a month for a good time.

Sure, let's swap for a weekend

Ahahaha I think the M3SR+ would bore you, I couldn’t do that to you. I still think the Florida group needs to have a nice meetup one day.

You may want to consider tinting all your windows. Tesla tints are purely cosmetic with no true heat/UV protection. I will be doing the back, rear side windows, and roof with the clear ceramic for UV protection in addition to the front side and windshield.

The thing is that I am leasing. I don’t want to dump too much money into it. I leased bc I could not wait for the 4680 battery. By the time this one is up, the next gen battery will be out in the wild, new unibody frame will be well into adaption. If I love this car like I think I will when I buy the next one I will go all out lol. I have already spent money on this car with accessories and I don’t even have it yet. I cannot wait!! Next week needs to get here fast!

I stopped by the Orlando SC today to look at the inventory. There were two MSLR being delivered outside in the 96 degree sun. The lot was full of cars waiting for service.

In 20016, I took delivery inside a delivery bay. I am guessing that they moved it outside to speed up the process. The large showroom was devoid of vehicles and the delivery bays were filled with boxes and one Model X. One poor lady looked clueless. I heard her delivery agent tell her to watch the tutorials online.

When my delivery is scheduled I’m going to ask for it to be delivered inside in the showroom. I going to request Elon as my delivery specialist too!

Darn, I’d love to have a Tesla day meet up but I’m sure I’ll see everyone on the road. I wish Tesla peeps had a cool way to say hello to fellow Tesla owners like how jeep owners have the ducks. We need to create something.
