Let us brainstorm of ways to delay official delivery "in service" date for $7k Tax Credit.

You get the better price. My entire contract was adjusted based on the recent $1k price reduction for the LR AWD MY. However, if the price goes up, you should be locked in at the lower (contracted) price.

Yes, but the downside is, for example, you contracted for FSD at $5K or $8K, and you save $1K on the MSRP, you still lose because now you will pay the current $10K for FSD.

Well, my assumption is that the question related to going forward from here, not that messy deal with pre-orders.

What happens if you place an order and before taking the delivery if there is a price change? which price one would end up with?

The main thing to be cautions about with that is that if an OPTION price increases but the base price decreases, you can't play the game both ways. There recently was a price cut of $1,000 or something but FSD increased $2k. People could update their order and get the lower car price, but Tesla would not honor the lower FSD price from when they originally ordered. They would re-price the vehicle at the current sales rates.

This applies to any order, not just a pre-order. Tesla has and can increase FSD prices at any time. If they increase the FSD price $2k tomorrow, and then decrease the price of the car by $1,000 next month, if you want the decreased car price when you take delivery and have FSD on the order, the price would actually increase by $1,000 total.

If it helps, I purchased my MY for a 2500 deposit on in March of 2019 haha. I still haven't taken delivery yet.

Me too! They have had my $2500 since April 2019 and no VIN yet
