Tesla Q1 2021 Vehicle Production & Deliveries
PALO ALTO, Calif., April 02, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- In the first quarter, we produced just over 180,000 vehicles and delivered nearly 185,000 vehicles. We are encouraged by the strong reception of the Model Y in China and are quickly progressing to full production capacity. The new Model S and...

Early stages of production
Remember, this is one of the best times to buy, according to Elon.

I have had to refresh my offer twice and it dropped $700 the first time and $800 the second time. It is a Honda Accord with like 140,000 miles on it, so my driving it to and from work for a grand total of about 500 miles each one of those time periods must be REALLY changing the value according to their calculations. I am just going to use Carvana at this point, because they are offering me exactly the same price as the original offer. I feel like if the reason that they need to keep updating the timing is because they are missing the delivery timeline, they should honor the original offer. Obviously barring any ridiculous change in the cars condition, but normal driving should not bring the value down like that...they just know they have the power of convenience

yeah. i was pretty sure i would just use tesla trade in at first, but now i'm leaning more towards carvana / carmax / kbb.
still, could be worse. the acura dealership i bought it from tried offering me 14% less than tesla, which was already lower than all of the trade in services. that insulting offer basically confirmed i'll never go to that dealership again.

Better than “we are waiting on equipment“ or “production difficulties will delay deliveries til q3”“The new Model S and Model X have also been exceptionally well received, with the new equipment installed and tested in Q1 and we are in the early stages of ramping production.”

Tells me that @doubleshot's finding was correct - the tool, whatever it is, was the delay.
Remember, Elon already told us they were “in production” on the last earnings call. Not true. It’s likely not true now.
Again, the release means nothing with respect to the refresh. Wait for VINs and calls that your car is there.

Sounds like good news to me. The tool is installed and tested (the refresh vehicles we have seen) and now production starts.
my best offer for my 2017 S was from Vroom. A full $5k higher than the others and Tesla as well.
My model S sold for cash in one day on a Tesla specific FB group. Asking price. 8k more than Tesla. Bought a 6500 beater to tide me over and take out when it rains once Tesla arrives

This is where I am at. Thinking of just buying something really cheap that I could turn around and sell for what I paid for it in 6 months or something.

vroom gave me the higher offer, but waiting two days for them to pay me sounds less than ideal. carmax will pay on the spot - that's worth the 200$ reduction in offer for me
I agree with you - let me start by saying that.
But, if this were a normal company, I read the text as "testing and tool installation was completed in Q1 and now we have moved to the early stages of ramping production"
But, this is not a normal company. Also telling they didn't give any timeline to add on top of the good delivery news "we expect the first Model S cars to be in the hands of consumers over the next few weeks" or "by end of the month".
So, I think you are right. They gave the most nebulous update they possibly could. Not to mention, my account page still says "March" so, not exactly a fantastic update.

It appears they still don’t know. This may be worse than when Elon said in late January, “deliveries start next month.” Or maybe, they want to under promise and over deliver this time. I’m hoping for the latter.
