Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[AnselmDante]

I think one the main goals of the revamped tax credit is to get people into EVs who, under normal circumstances, would not even consider an EV due to price premiums above ICE vehicles. For buyers of cars like the MS etc that price premium over EVs is most likely not an issue.

So I’m guessing that the thinking is, why waste incentives on wealthier people who are going to buy an EV regardless of whether incentives apply or not.

And this type of thinking applies to most vehicles. They want to give discounts to those who need it, not the ones buying top end products. This is why most manufacturer sales and rebates exclude their top line vehicles.

I will say, after living in California for a year or so, it was pretty hilarious watching people driving around $100k cars sitting in traffic on the way to their 9-5 and then coming home to an apartment, likely around the 800 sq ft mark. Always made me giggle. I digress.

Yea last part I agree with that makes no sense I see it as well.

Welcome to California real estate! In my area, 3,500 sq ft homes now start at the $2 million mark without any type of view. If you are just looking to buy a home, you are either priced out of the market or you better find other ways to cut living expenses. If you want to drive a 100K car you better look for an apartment.

Did anyone else's Tesla account page lose their name?

I think it's been this way for at least several days for me.

This happened to me a few days ago. I had to log out of my account, close the web page, then go back and log in again.

I lost my page and even the car I currently own... lol....

I lived in Boston a few years back and was looking at a new condo and a one bedroom ~800 sqft started at around $1.2M... with that amount you can literally get a decent mansion in TX!

EV registration fees in California are ridiculous.

CA registration costs are high for all vehicles as they are based on vehicle value. EV adds only $100 to the cost to capture lost revenue on gas tax.

Yea I feel you with that, I used to live in the bay area but then moved to the California desert area due to working on the base over here, and the price difference is massive. My mortgage here is less than rent I used to see in the bay area.

That's actually pretty funny, I've been doing that a lot lately and smacking my self every time I realize I've been holding on to the top of the wheel...

Be a man and put nails into the steering wheel so you train yourself right quick.

Since we're digressing, location, location, location. If all one cares about is the biggest house for one's buck, then DFW is a great spot. If one cares more about other amenities, like weather, abundance of public parks and mountains, then the SF bay area is tough to beat, etc. Clearly, it depends on one's priorities. There is no one size fits all when it comes to real estate.

I was thinking some kind of high-voltage shock on the top part of the wheel, but I guess nails would work too

According to the TMC spreadsheet, I have been waiting the longest for an MS (excluding Plaid+ orders). Maybe Elon will deliver it to me in person at the event... I'll start holding my breathe now....

Pretty sure he's going to hand deliver it to your house right before the event Don't forget to take some pics!

Looking at the refresh tracker none of us Texans who ordered a white interior have a delivery estimate. Mine was June 01 - June 30 and then Elon's monkey *sugar*ed all over my dreams.

Tesla web site is certainly quirky. The account page showing RN and pic but when I click "manage" it goes to a page showing me a picture of an M3 but no text below. (tried again and getting internal server error)

Yeah my PC rebooted on me, and when I reopened my web page tabs, the tesla page came back as an internal server error. I think they are in the process of upgrading all the LR orders to Plaid as an apology for the wait.

 

[lbowroom]

Yes, my management page wouldn't load, then it did and my order is missing completely.

Same. Something’s up.

Yeah same here. Probably nothing but we love grasping at straws here. Can’t wait to be disappointed
