I just got the same text and offer to sell me a demo at a discount but apparently blue isn’t a popular color. I order exactly what I want and I’ll wait to get it.

Agreed it is up to Tesla to address technical aspects, based on 2023 model Y window sticker it says 65% of the parts are assembled or made in US and Canada. If I were to make a guess I think the tax credit will be around $3,750 and not the full $7500. Only time will tell
I’d take blue now that paint colors are now free! I saw a black one at the showroom I was just at
and the advisor told me that if I wanted one the upgrade for paint was free!
Those who wait into 2023 may get some unexpected benefits. 10k of supercharging over 2ys is not terribly valuable, unless you don’t have charging at home. Few hundred bucks. Most folks won’t use it up.
The tax rebate is the main thing. Not sure why folks aren’t considering the reason Tesla is hush hush about it is because they’re anticipating $7500 and know their q4 numbers will be terrible if people know that.
Same reason the delay/hush about radar/Tesla Vison/etc until mid Jan.

That should be acceptable. That's what they told me, they would honor the spring price.
I am one of those who do not have home charging and in my area, it would be about $1k not a few hundred dollars.
Tax rebate is only for people who qualify, remember income cap! I do not believe they are going to be approved for the $7500.
speak to someone else. they have no clue. It seems like us members on the thread know more than some of the advisor. lol
Makes sense. Then sounds like it’s a good opportunity for you.
yup, clear the inventory out to make way for hardware 4 revision in January. Just like Tesla didn’t care if you picked up your car on the 14th and didn’t get sc miles, they won’t care you don’t have USS or radar when they launch hw4.

Just saw this tonight... there is no longer an "Order Now" page for the Y and some other models. Tesla might have more cars available immediately than traditional car dealers. Might be a good thing. Might be a bad thing.
I was feeling pretty good last week after I got the $3750 credit but disappointed I missed out on the wall charger discount ($50) and the supercharger credits. It seems like there's no way to get those retroactively.
There's definitely a frustrating aspect related to dealing with Tesla - if supply has caught up with demand they really need to change how they treat their customers and build some long-term loyalty. Good product is important but the alternatives are catching up for sure. Definitely not the Apple of automobiles by any means in terms of how customers are treated.

^ Righto! Other than not being required to visit the extended warranty person's office before driving away with my car, I felt that the ordering and delivery process was no different than ordering a car from a traditional car dealer. In other words, they need to work on it. And the Tesla communication, much of it automated and texts, back and forth - just plain awful! I got the official Tesla delivery experience survey in email. I haven;t returned my answers yet, as I need to compose some thoughtful kaizens, in case somebody in middle management actually reads the comments section.
Yup. Good news in my mind. Getting the 2022 inventory out. If there was a software-only update coming that applied to cars made in earlier years, then wouldn’t need to push sales on existing inventory so hard.
Agreed. They would announce they aren’t getting the full $7500 so customers don’t feel a need to delay and they meet their quarter expectations. However, Tesla is usually two steps ahead of everyone so I still have some doubts.
Agreed. Every move they make is calculated these days to protect end of quarter numbers.

I also think this is the end of the freebies for this quarter. Looks like they have exceeded their targets and anything above that is a bonus.
Well true. But beginning with q4 and going into 2023, they’re entering a new era. Normally it was just a matter of getting supplies/production etc. but now the unlimited supply of orders isn’t a given. Q4 is being hit with the quirk about the tax rebate, higher loan rates, slowing economy, and (lesser) about anticipation of new hardware etc. 2023 will be much more about the recession, high rates, and many folks more worried about their jobs and less comfortable for paying 70k+ for a non-luxury EV. 2023-2025 will also have the headwinds of true competition
