I hope they stay MSRP; I am worried they will mask "potential savings" with the new tax credit if passed, so you still "see" $57,000, but the car costs $65,000. I am interested in what will happen next year if all goes planned. I am telling friends and family, if you want a Tesla...get it now. ICE trade-in is still VERY lucrative, and no better time to get in. I did happen to find the law I thought I saw about selling cars "Additionally, Florida law presumes any person, firm, partnership or corporation that buys, sells, offers for sale, displays for sale, or deals in three or more motor vehicles in any 12-month period to be a motor vehicle dealer and must have an appropriate license issued by the state." This is why I have put a hold on my MS date back to buy in September; cause my plan to sell the M3 for the MY and the MY for the MS has failed. I completely forgot I sold my Chevy Spark in Sept.
If you sell one to buy another does that still count towards your 3? Im not in that boat but just wondering

Per Florida law, that’s a good question. It doesn’t say if buying a car subtracts from the selling. If that is the case I am going to release the MS for sure. I love the MY and will order that again eventually but getting a MS while there trade in is soooooooo good, I cannot pass it up. Then getting $8000 off the MY later when I purchase, pshhhh no brainer. Frankly, I’ll get the MYP hands down.
Joe is my dog but I’ve not watched him since septI can help there...
YT has a number of really good drone pilots who daily fly overs. Joe Tegtmyer and Randy of Texas Terrafactory do outstanding work.
The latest is Austin has its Idra Casting machines up and running and stockpiling front and rear MDY castings. A number of pre-production vehicles have been produced with one hanging from a 2nd floor ceiling as eye candy for the pilots. (Typical Tesla stunt
They are planning a grand opening event to be held on site just like they did with Berlin. So no, production has not started. The structure is about 85% complete. Workers have been hired as there were numerous days of orientation observed. So, new workers are currently in training.
Musk stated at the shareholder meeting that production would begin before year end and not ramp up fully till late 2022. It appears that we are right in line with that start date. Great!
Do check out YT the videos. They really quite good.
been so busy with school videos. Good to know they are nearly done and more workers. I did hear they want to hire like 8000 workers, insane.I can't imagine Tesla discounting by $7000.... this 2022 (potential) $8000 tax credit is PAID for by the government. I can imagine Tesla calling or e-mail folks who have later 2022 orders to see if they want delivery in 2021... or send the cars to Canada. I'm certain there are hundreds if not thousands of folks willing to take delivery on a Model Y now without the tax credit rather than wait until Sept 2022.
Since what's been released so far is a framework, I'm hoping someone fights for that in the actual bill. There's already grumbling about the union built tax credit and some senators wanting to either remove that or reduce it. Doesn't affect Tesla but shows there could still be changes in the final version.
Here is a question...
that is my exact build but I cant see paying $4k more for something used. If I really couldn't wait Tesla has 2 new model 3 on their website - they have FSD so priced higher but I think you are allowed to have it removed after you accept the car. I would buy that and sell it after I got my MY. I have actually thought about it but cant really justify it since I have a car that is running fine. I think I will get pushed into the May-June since I have a EDD of Feb and everyone that is holding theirs will release on Jan 1 and I believe they get moved to the front of the line, but that isnt confirmed.

This is interesting because if you look on Tesla, some of the names changed but also look at the MY LR range...it has changed, not for the good.
Wouldn’t it be nice if the tax credit just stipulated the car had to be a MY2022 and not that you necessarily had to take delivery on or after 1/1/2022?
