I saw a post somewhere with a 4/22 or 4/23 and the SA told them it didn't have the swivel screen. Supposedly the SA physically checked the car for the guy, but he hadn't had delivery yet to verify. It did include all other new changes.Anyone know if a build date of 4/14/22 would have the updated lights, charge port and swivel screen? My SA sent me an email about an inventory car but not the VIN
Hopefully that means... WEST COAST DELIVERIES!!!
I wonder can those be retrofitted? I have a 2022 Feb build.
Hey William- Can you post some more photos of your car front corner and sides? Looks awesome!
So in the last few months the financial markets have had a bunch of downward movement. Tesla raised their financing rates (3.74% is currently "normal" for Tesla, they wont go lower than that). The amount of money they'll provide likely depends on the individual. A few months ago it was easy for me to finance the bulk of my car (~146k) < 2%. But my order kept getting delayed. For me to keep my interest very low right now I have to put down ~56k cash to pickup my plaid next week. I didn't want to put that much money towards it because I'd prefer free money but since rates have been climbing and markets adjusting I settled on keeping my "best" rate with putting more down upfront. If you don't take the order you're out the order fee which isn't the end of the world. As always it can be worth shopping around to multiple lenders, but it is very expected to have higher rates and less offered from financing companies as the current markets are on a downward trajectory.
Anything in particular? Other than the lights the exterior features you've likely seen 10,000 times before!
Does not look like Wednesday's news will help your case. Expect another .5% bump which will probably trickle down to lenders upping their rates the week following. If you are expecting a car within 30 days, might be smart to lock a rate now.
Therein lies the issue lol. My EDD is within about 30 days but who knows what it really will be.
More details from Electrek: interesting to note that Tesla now produces more vehicles in Fremont, CA than GM/Toyota did previously.

An externalized cost to this performance is the missing parts on recent deliveries, like mine
Agreed - see this article regarding deliveries.

Oof that looks/sounds terrible. Did the SA offer anything regarding fixing that?
You failed to order the rubber band package...
I feel like I'm in a pretty tough spot now. I got the text that my car is in transit with EDD next week. I have applied with some credit unions including credit union 1. They're still advertising 1.99% for 60 which I will take if I'm fortunate to get it. I'd like to finance the entire vehicle and stay liquid. PenFed pre-approved for entire amount @ 4.09% 72 mos. Unsure if I even have enough time to get everything done by next week for delivery.
