It’s likely you will get the new price. You’ve made a change to your order before delivery.Do you know if Tesla would then charge you the higher price because the “change” you made before delivery? Since it’s just software being turned off, I would assume no, but you know what they say about assuming anything about Tesla pricing/delivery/customer service.

I can only speak for myself (and I'm a bit on the strange side, to say the least) but there's something very fundamentally satisfying about having a setup where energy flows directly from the sun into our car (soon to be cars, for some definition of "soon"). I have designed our rooftop solar (16 kW, two LG storage batteries necessary due to the municipal power company, and Boston area so not a financial slam-dunk by any stretch) so we can know exactly when to start charging in order not to need to be pulling any power from the grid. One important factor is to throttle the charge rate down to about 5kW and charge while the sun is shining. As the batteries are often at full charge then (having been charged up from the grid at the off-peak rate earlier in the morning), the energy from our panels can either a) be consumed immediately, or b) get sent back to the grid and we get 25% of its value back from the muni. No brainer, that's when to charge the damn car(s).
Of course there are a zillion other factors and many days when we need to charge just aren't sunny and we bite the bullet, but for the times when the stars line up, it's a great feeling to just have those electrons flowing "directly from the sun into the car". I love it. We still have a non-zero electric bill and our payback (even with both Federal and State-level rebates/credits) is about 15 years, but so what. In the present moment, we have a system that is as planet-friendly as I know how to make our residence. If we weren't under the auspices of a municipal power company, the entire production would be simpler and a LOT more cost-effective (wouldn't need any storage batteries if the entire grid could just be our battery) but c'est la vie.
No delivery date.

Going solar was the smartest decision my wife and I made. Way smarter than the S which has been great fun. Due to Illinois and federal rebates, our break even is in 3.2 more years. Due to covid and less driving, were 115 percent (donating energy to grid). My brother and parents drive their EVs over to charge to prevent more giveaways.
I believe we can meet climate goals and still keep our meat consumption (though it can't hurt to cut back). It's a carbon budget and we should decide our priorities within that budget. Transportation and energy dwarf all other sectors, even ag (2006 figures cited are not useful).

Tesla Model S Long Range Hits 10.87 Second 1/4 Mile at Drag Strip - TeslaNorth.com
After starting deliveries of its new Model S Plaid last month, Tesla also started delivering Long Range versions of the refreshed sedan as well. While the Model S Plaid has all the spotlight with its incredible 9.23 second 1/4 time, it turns out the Long Range version of the sedan is no slouch...

Wow. Again, all the credit goes to @Tex EV. Shared it with him. Thanks for the link.@cwanja It looks like you're famous:

Though they really should include the video. It’s all there.

Plaid DELIVERED 8/4, Red/Cream+Wood/21"/FSD
I don’t even know what to say at this point. Giving up hope on July and haven’t had any updates since Jun 7th when I converted the Plaid+ order.

A lot. Like a a lot a lot. Not trying to be funny, but seriously a crap ton. I can’t stress the amount.

For Q1 2021, 9731 Model 3s and 13786 Model Ys were registered in CA. Obviously no S/X sales
For the M3, that's almost 2x as many vs Prius registrations, and I can easily see more M3s than Prius' on the road (which used to be everywhere in the suburban landscapes). Tesla is also 5% of new car sales in CA, compared to 1.7% of the US.
The number I see on a daily basis in SoCal is astounding.....especially for a manufacturer with only 4 active models.

So you're telling me you don't pay sales tax on Netflix? I'm pretty sure you do. In this new scenario you will pay sales tax.

That moment when you realize there’s a 250 v outlet in the garage!
Will the 10-30 Gen 2 adapter work on this outlet? Anything else to keep in mind?
@omarsultan help appreciated.

Is this the total sales(in cali ofcourse) of all tesla vehicles since they first started selling?
Cali here and im not sure about the FSD subscription, but my Tesla connectivity subscription, Acceleration boost on my model 3, Apple Music, and Netflix all are not taxed.
