Wiki Model S Delivery Update

Welp. My Trade-in value has officially dropped by $1,000. New Trade-in expires May 13th.

This is starting to cost me money.

They made me update the miles on the trade-in yet again (3rd of fourth time while we wait). Did your value drop due to age of car or did you add miles, you think?

I don’t believe it’s the age and if it’s the mileage, I only added around 700 miles since the first trade in was offered (February 2021).

Zooming in, I see that this is indeed a MFG plate. So another rogue tester.

Have you tried pricing your trade on any of the third party sites? KBB.com and Carvana.com offered the best pricing for me, substantially more than the trade value from Tesla and it is a cash offer. The used market has skyrocketed recently, so no excuse for your offer dropping. The offer on 3rd party sites has gone up from $24K (100K miles) to $30K (107K miles) in the past 5 months for a 2015 Escalade in Northern California.

I just ditched my trade in when they asked today. Selling to carvana instead once I get it. I'll have to redo my financing though ugh but not till that expires.

Reminder... vehicles are a depreciating asset. As such, as time goes by, their values decrease.

And your future Model S now has 700 fewer miles on it... and will be at least 3 months newer

So is my cash sitting in a bank account for the last 4 months as I was orginally told my delivery would be December 28th. :-/

have you calculated your loss due to inflation?

 

[cascadilla]

^ that’s a fair point. unless the price increases, due to inflation, you’re paying less for this car the later it arrives

Well if your car had been delivered on time it would be down $2,000 by now, so they saved you money!

Saw my first S refresh an hour ago while dropping off M3 at Tesla service in Fremont (Kato Rd)! A red refresh S with mfg plate, no badging. Pulled into Tesla Engineering building next to service center. Might need to do some snooping when I pick the car up...

 

[Danlbrau]

So, this is only relevant to this thread as it applies to Tesla business practices and missing delivery estimates, but after waiting since November for my Tesla Solar Roof install, I finally got a communication from them. Just an email saying the price is going up, no other details about how much or when it might actually be installed. Pretty much the same bait and switch they did with my Model S order

Well, they are consistent. I’ll give them that.

Do not tell Elon that - he will raise prices.

If you can, Carmax gives pretty good $ and can just get a quote online.
