FSD as a separate item

[jebinc]

@Techno-phile I'm guessing you haven't taken delivery yet - Have you spoken to Tesla about whether they will let you remove FSD without trashing your whole order & sending you to the back of the queue?

I tried removing FSD after delivery and was laughed at by Tesla.

I just asked them to delete FSD from my order, since the August 16th increase is not happening until V10 rollout. I'll let you know what happens!

Same, I'll also respond when I know more.

Does anyone know how much it'll cost after you receive delivery? Is it still the same price and before delivery?

I ordered FSD at $7,100 before the price jump, but then when the cost of white paint reduced my total price Tesla updated my invoice to reflect that and at the same time decided to bump up my FSD to $8,500. I emailed them about it and asked for them to put it back to $7,100 but they refused.

@jaykaye That sounds like it was effectively a cancel/reorder, which may also have had the side effect of knocking you back to a later delivery.

Be thankful, I ordered a black X Performance, sans ludicrous. We would have preferred the pearl white, but since we plan on wrapping it, couldn't justify the price difference. When the price of the white dropped, we asked to alter it, but we would have been forced to get ludicrous since it was dropped as an option, along with the X price increase, making our car about $10k more expensive to change from black to white.

The thing is I never asked for them to change my order, they just did it. If I fell back in the queue then that's unfair but I can wait the extra couple of weeks. What sucks is that they bumped up the price of FSD through no action of my own. #nofair

Good news, I received confirmation that they dropped FSD from my order.

Did this change your place in the queue? When did you drop it? After invoice? I am planning on dropping it too but dont want to lose my place in the queue.

I don't think so, none of my other pricing has changed, and I don't have ludicrous (it's a performance X), which it would have if it was a cancel/reorder. I don't think there's much of a queue for X anyway...

I haven't even got a VIN yet, so it's before invoice.
