Wiki Model S Delivery Update

[teko]

Let’s say for shits and giggles that we find out the S and X will be discontinued as of 2024. Will you keep your order for the S?

Would there be future issues with parts and service? Would value be decreased if this line is discontinued?

No way I would keep the order. Resale value would tank.

I ordered on 11/28/23 and my last delivery date was on 12/23-12/31. Then I received a ‘23 VIN and requested a 14 day hold. The hold was approved with a cancellation of order warning until 1/1/24, and the VIN released. Will update next week.

Discount. As soon as year ticks over to 2024, you have lost about $10k on that new 2023 car if you go and trade it in or it gets totaled.

I can’t believe people really still believe this.

Miles and condition are what really matters. Anyone who thinks there’s a $10k difference between an identically spec’d December ‘23 and January ‘24 Model S in the same condition with the same miles is deluding themselves.

Then go and get trade in values and report back.

You are welcome to your delusion, no skin off my back. If you believe having a 2024 VIN in Jan without all of the current discounts is going to manifest $10,000 out of thin air then keep on waiting.

$10k is I think worst case scenario, but from my pricing research about equal miles MS 2022 vs 2023 used prices differ between about $3-$5k at least.

Just saw this on a FB group regarding ‘24 VINS.

ALGO gave me an offer of $28k for my 2021 MY in November of this year (then after putting this offer on hold due to multiple delays of my MS EDD) they called at the end of December to let me know that the offer would now be at $27 for the same mileage car just because they will not be able to sell it this year and that the car is now 1 year older.

Hope that clears the air a bit

Why is Tesla not gaming it like other manufacturers? I bought my 2009 Prius in May of 2008.

That’s really going to complicate resale even more than it already is.

Indeed. Existing used S/X examples would skyrocket in value.

Eventually after the 10 year requirement to provide replacement parts expires for any given model year. Usually third party companies come in and pick up the slack after that.

That is an old wives tale... There is no 10 year requirement for parts availability. There isn't even a 1 day requirement.

The only requirement is that they have to have parts available to fulfill their warranty or they have to replace the car if parts aren't available for a warranty repair.

Discount. As soon as year ticks over to 2024, you have lost about $10k on that new 2023 car if you go and trade it in or it gets totaled. They should be offering $4k-$5k discount on 2023 model year sold in 2024.

I don't know who would buy a 2023 vin car from anyone in 2024 without there being a discount, either that or increase the price of the 2024 model. I have crunched the numbers multiple ways, the economics don't work. Most folks, I think, buying an 80K+ car aren't stupid financially. I guess if you don't care about money and just want the car now or think Elon raises prices out of the blue, then just buy it.

6 months free supercharging, $1k cybertruck res credit, referral/loyalty credits, inventory discounts, free supercharging transfer… in what world are there no discounts right now?

It great to hear an early adopter (In a Tesla Desert, no less) has had a great experience, and a good delivery on a new (Well optioned, IMO) MS to boot.

From the earlier posts, I'm wondering if there is a chance that there will never be a '24 MS or MX, and a phase out of production later in next year?

They are such a small portion of sales, and if the new highland is a popular, maybe it makes sense.

Oddly my news feed has an article about models and their sales volumes.

I didn't realize the Model S was in last place over time.

Well, here goes another $250 down the drain....

It's still 2023 in Freemont. Given your history don't be surprised if a VIN is assigned before California rings in the new year.

Betting Lucid or Rivian would Love to have those totals in any position.

I agree the M3 is no comparison, but 95% of new Tesla buyers are not buying it, literally.

At some point, the MS in it's current config. will be overtaken by the competition.

So then any auto company like say BMW should stop making 7-8 series because 95% don’t buy premium?? Just don’t see your logic.

 

[sorka]

Well, no price increase at midnight.
