MR, Midnight Silver Metallic, Aero Wheels, No EAP.
I am not ordering EAP till I have full confidence that I can take my hands off the wheel and eyes off the road. Until then, it’s not worth $5K.
For those who ordered last week and will order next two weeks, I am very optimistic Tesla will deliver these by end of the year. Some thoughts.
- RWD Config-Delivery times have been extremely short, demand is still strong for AWD/P.
- We basically have 6 weeks for first delivery of Medium Range. They are building close to 5K per week, which means 30K vehicles will be produced between now (Oct 23) and then.
- Roughly 30K VINS have been registered with NHTSA last two weeks and seems like about half are RWD. This is reversing the trend as most recent VIN registrations have been AWD. Since RWD LR has been discontinued, I am guessing many of these new VINs are for the MR.
- I can’t imagine there are 15,000 configurations last week and this week for MR… if you ordered, chances are your vehicle will be built within next 2 weeks or so. Some Californians may get theirs before Thanksgiving.
