We wouldn't know. My rep in Seattle told me before that all production (at least for MS) was dedicated to European deliveries. This is obviously not the case anymore. However, my order that I put in the first half of September and asked not to deliver before mid October when my current lease was going to expire is still in the same state as it was in September.I wonder why some of us are getting delivery notifications while others are still twiddling our thumbs if we placed around the same day?
Placed an order for MS LR, black exterior/white interior, w/ FSD on 12/3. Decided to remove the FSD on 12/7 so updated the order.
Just got this text this afternoon:
I went ahead and completed the credit application since I was going to finance through Tesla anyway. We’ll see if there is anything to “priority vehicle matching for faster delivery”. I’m doubtful.
Maybe not the most popular topic, but has anyone looked at what effect the current production backlog has had on the new-used-gently- used market of 2018 early 2019 M3 and MS resale value?
When I ordered in May 2019 (pre-raven) there was minimal wait on new vehicles and an abundant supply of existing inventory and low mileage demos. Immediate "drive off the lot" depreciation was a concern for me, but I really wanted a Tesla with FSD, had no crystal ball to see what was coming, and needed a car ASAP. At the time I was not even aware of the great Tesla forums and how fun these cars really are, latest model or not. I just wanted one and they were plentiful and priced to sell. I can't help but think there are always going to be people in the same situation I was in. Thoughts?
The quote I received on October 8 2019 for my 2018 Model S MSM, cream interior, 4200 miles (delivered 6/2018) was $63,600. I was advised that figure could be reduced when my new MS Raven is delivered in December. My neighbor found out that I was getting rid of the current car and has purchased it from me. I haven’t seen any used Model S on the website so I can’t speak to the fairness of this price, but I am happy to be getting a Raven.Not sure what the question actually is? If you want to know what your car is worth, call a SA and they will tell you their number.
My October 2018 with 19K miles that I paid $107K for last year is worth $63K.

I am referring to resale value, not trade-in value as you would get from a Tesla SA. It seems that the newer used cars would be in greater demand since Tesla is clearly not meeting new order deadlines. Greater demand should drive up value.
For what it's worth, my Manage page source now has a VIN assigned. Ordered MS LR on 11/3.

This is a good question that is tough to answer. Tesla resale is all over the place, depending on the dealership, market, etc.
Anecdotally, Carmax and Carvana were not interested in buying my 2018 MS 100D and I don't know if there is much of a private market. I reached out to Current Automotive outside Chicago as they specialize in EVs, and they told me I could not do better than Tesla's offer given the sales tax credit I would get buying from Tesla.
On other words, I didn't sense any greater demand. I didn't try very hard, but no offers for my car from the usual suspects.
In any event, think the lack of S/X availability is only short term because as US sales have waned, Tesla pivoted to serving foreign markets. Tesla will soon focus back on the US to make its quarterly numbers.
ordered on 11/3 -
delivery scheduled for December 5.
I'm just making sad Eeyore noises over here with my 10/8 order and absolutely no word on delivery date or VIN.
