100%. I kept monitoring the situation since October. I wanted to buy then, but I couldn't take delivery until the end of June, so I had to wait until mid-March to order. Long story short, the same car has gone from ¥5,300,000/$41,000 to ¥7,100,000/$55,000 (today).
I apologize. I'll make sure to put a trigger warning in any posts that talk about headlights or charging cables for you.Yes actually, I am shocked that they won’t do right by people and it’s people like you that just bends over and takes it…the reason they’re gonna keep it up. No matter how big you get you should ALWAYS do right by your customers…customer service can literally end a company. The mobile connector is definitely an issue as it is required to charge the car at home. How is it that folks are really ok with paying the inflated price that already includes that same omitted mobile connector then pay $200 or $400 or whatever for something that should have came with the car? Absolutely ludicrous but hey, there’s one born everyday right? What’s next? No tires included?If you’re having supply chain issues that’s fine, we all know what’s going on right now. You ship it to folks when you get it…simple. Same thing all reputable automakers are doing right now and not only that they’re giving you a discount on the price because of the inconvenience.
And actually I already have an EV (one in my opinion that’s better that I ordered waiting on this car and got first) and most likely won’t even be keeping this 3. Can’t sell my reservation and can’t get my money back so yea, my wife may want it but I doubt it. Price has increased by like $5k since I bought it so it should turn a nice profit because like you said, there are a million yous out here that will gladly take it. But hey, if you like it I love it…keep on keeping on. Soon you’ll have to buy the frame and all the other parts will be sold separately to assemble it lol
I mean, I'm sure I'll have a new EDD once the VIN comes in.
Even though my OD is the last day of April, seeing a mid-March order (albeit nothing in your order is “Included”), kinda brings me some hope that next month we’ll certainly see April folks get their VINs and EDD changes. Though might get something for sure in July since I’m sitting right next with the May people.
vin 241xxxLooks awesome! CongratsIt was my turn to graduate today. I picked up the car from the indoor delivery room, it was a blast!

Matrix headlights, charger, updated processor; zero defects. Well done Tesla!!
I think both of these posts have very strong merit. The vast majority of used ICE purchases have features/options buyers are unaware. The same will be with a Tesla. Two years from now, what will drive down the value of an EV is old battery technology vs new. If they come up with a whiz bang battery with super fast charging then those of us with ‘dated’ technology will see a huge drop in resale value. “Oh, it has the 2170 batteries, I want the new generation battery”. I seriously doubt someone will not buy a used Tesla due to matrix lights.
Where in NJ are you picking up from? I have the same order as you with about a week earlier order date. Mine is being delivered to Cherry Hill. My EDD updated to the same window this morning 05/27-06/10.
