Is the free ludicrous upgrade for current owners still in effect?

Are you guys certain that used Model S owners don't get this? You have to have bought it brand new?

It’s Tesla, no one is ever certain of anything....

that is ridiculously correct

that is ridiculously correct

Just to sadly underpin this point I called Tesla of Springfield NJ to find out if this was still available and they stated emphatically it had expired at the end of the quarter. I then called Tesla Short Hills NJ and they said as far as they were aware it was still available.

I tweeted out to Tesla as well, let's see what that gets me....

Ok I can confirm this promotion is ended at the end of the quarter unfortunately.

Any other result would have been really surprising.

This. While I'd certainly like to take advantage someday, $20k is a lot to put out there as an incentive. Granted, it costs Tesla much less to enable, and it likely spurs some who wouldn't have gotten a P to get it so they can take advantage of the free Ludicrous. But it also knocks $20k off every upgrading S/X purchase where the purchaser would have bought Ludicrous.

I expect we'll see this deal come back sporadically.

In my case it certainly made them money. Without the offer, I would have bought the LR - and possibly not for another year.

It was the combination of this incentive hitting right with the Raven improvements and the Autonomy Day that convinced me the time was right - and while I was thinking they added the 5k miles bonus and tipped me over the edge.

So I bought a more expensive car than I might have, and sooner, too. I suspect I'm not alone in that.

Of course, if demand was high enough that they could have sold the same car to someone else at full price, they lost a significant chunk of profit from the incentive (though they made a good bit of it back on the difference between the trade in offer they gave and the market value of my prior X.)

Definitely made them money in a lot of cases. But they've got the data, and we're just speculating.

I am totally in the same boat.

Wouldn't be Tesla if we didn't get different answers depending on the location, wind direction relative humidity, etc....

Which SC, I will call and try and order?

I used it, and I have a CPO Model S (it's from when they really were CPO and not Used, so technically doesn't answer your questions, but I didn't buy new).

My sales associate (in Rocklin, CA) confirmed the free ludicrous upgrade deal was discontinued at the end of this last quarter.

That is crazy. My sales advisor keeps telling me it's still on

What do you mean?

 

[Zaxxon]

On the contrary, it's still mentioned in the Raven blog post.

And that was the only place it was ever mentioned on the site right?
