General "Should I Wait for Upgrades" Thread

[dss33]

It's been a thing where they only produce at end of quarters for US deliveries so they can focus on other areas of the world.

However, lots of people have been saying the demand is so high that they are going to be producing MY's throughout the quarter.

I've heard this too, though this may be more about the Y factory coming online in China, which serves both Asia and Europe. So I think Fremont may be focusing almost entirely on North America.

I ordered a MY LR last week and I already got assigned a VIN yesterday. My Tesla sales rep told me that my MY rolled off the assembly line the same day. So, they are still producing in January.

I won't accept it if it doesn't have the new hardware. Do we think it will?

Very curious to hear if your rep can find out what hardware it has, particularly HEPA.

So curious! Please keep us updated, I will decide to place the order now or later. Thanks!

Sorry, no. There is no indication any of the new features are in current builds. I am hoping they will update the LR first and leave rest of the inventory to the standard. It kind of make sense. LR suppose to have premium interior and the standard without.... it then make sense to have HEPA, heated steering, updated side panels and center console.... the line up is coming together.

I asked my sales rep and he said all he can do is see when it arrives next week what it has. If it doesn’t have the new hardware yet, I’ll just refuse delivery and wait. I’m in Canada so a heated steering wheel is essential and, you know, COVID and all the HEPA filter is pretty important.

"LR suppose to have premium interior and the standard without." Really? Why?

If anything SR will get more upgrades then LR since it will be new car. Advertising premium and giving you less it would be false advertising.

It is confirmed in tesla website that model Y SR will have the same premium interior as the LR.

Only the Model 3 SR will not get premium interior, so it can be even cheaper.

What? SR is cheaper why would it get the newer interior? If anything, SR will get the left over old parts. or do you think they will build the SR in a different assembly line? I think not.

How do you refuse delivery, what will you say?

Why do you think Tesla will ship Y's from Shanghai to Europe? The word to date has been that Europeans have to await Y's from Brandenburg.

I’m less sure of that than I am that Fremont is going to be largely making cars for NA from here on out. With the exception of S and X of course.

Same question here, wondering if I should place the order now and reject the delivery if no updates.

Okay everyone my LR MY arrived. It has heated steering wheel! But no new console or HEPA filter.
