Background info: ordered MSM, white interior, 11/11, CVAP grant expires 3/7, Central California
Okay so kind of a wild last 30 minutes for me. Another friend of mine (who isn’t my SA) at Tesla saw an MSM with black interior come off the line in Fremont and called our mutual friend who is my SA to let him know. She (friend who isn’t my SA) texted me to let me know there was a car that just came out that hasn’t been matched since Tesla makes extra vehicles that aren’t matched right away and asked if I wanted to be matched to it. I called my SA (will refer to other friend as my SA now) but he wasn’t picking up since he was with a customer. My other friend (who isn’t my SA) asked if I wanted her to do it since we weren’t getting responses from my SA. I said yes and have now officially been matched and assigned a VIN.
My SA calls me after and says “why did you do that? I told her to wait because I had to check something first.” So sure enough, my base price for the M3P has switched from 54,990 to the new 55,990 price because my order has been changed. This is not something that can be undone so FYI, if you do see an inventory car in the future, it will NOT be matched at the original order price (if you ordered before the increase). My other friend didn’t know that would happen, but my SA had a feeling that is what would happen. If it were a VIN match to the same configuration, it would have been fine. Since it wasn’t, the price was updated to the current price.
Anyway, I’m not too mad about it. After waiting nearly five months, I’d rather just get the car now. I’ve been bumming off my mom’s car way too long. If I continue to wait for the white interior, my grant would have expired and who knows if something else happens this quarter that pushes it out another quarter.
So, while I am paying the same price for a black interior as I would have paid for the white interior, I’m just glad it’s coming before my grant expires. The grant is for 5k, but I just consider it as a grant for 4K now with the price change. Still though, super blessed it might finally be happening. It’ll be on a truck within 24 hours and hopefully ready for delivery in a couple of days. Still never know what could happen though...pls pray 4 me I guess.
