Inventory Cars in NY/NJ Area

[Sentry]

I just got off the phone with the tesla centers near me and if anyone is interested they have plenty of RWD and performance cars. As for AWD, they have 3 cars available for pick up immediately. They are red/white, DBM/white and Silver/white.

Pass by the Route 17 Tesla Center almost daily and in the past two weeks they seemed to have allotted at least a dozen more cars.

What sc told you this? I was told by a sc in NY that there were going to look for an inventory RWD car in the area with my build after they scheduled my delivery on a car with the wrong wheels. They told me last Tuesday that they were going to look and I haven't heard anything since, at this point neither the store or my DA in Nevada are responding to emails. I know they are slammed trying to make deliveries before the end of the quarter but this was the 2nd time they've had to change my car after a lack of communication on their end and I keep hearing of all these inventory RWD cars sitting around I'm starting to get frustrated. On top of that it's metallic silver which is supposed to be the color they're accelerating delivery of... My delivery is still scheduled for next Sunday but at this point I doubt I'll get the car unless they can find one sitting in a lot in NJ or something.

If you call the sales team of any SC in the region they can check what cars are available for pickup immediately.

Are they offering any sort of discount on the inventory cars, or is it simply the benefit of immediate delivery?

I mean they call them inventory cars but I'm pretty sure they are brand new cars that just were not matched with a customer but to answer your question they are not discounted.

Goes to show Tesla really did make a significant miscalculation on demand for RWD cars (with the AWDs only 5K more) and with white interiors. After speaking with a sales guy at Tesla in Westchester it sounds like there's a pretty significant inventory of RWD cars - these are not just test drive cars but cars that were delivered en masse expecting to get matched, then ultimately did not have a buyer for them as of now.

It begs the question as to whether some of the operations-type people that are leaving were actually invited to leave because of this botched rollout as opposed to leaving because there is some unseen Tesla-short-type weakness.

My SC (Ohio) said that if I wanted RWD it was max 4 weeks to delivery probably way less - but NO discount/incentive - I tried that!
