I have zero intention of buying a new Model S but the suspense is still killing me! Also, I'm new here so I've yet to have my heart broken like the first 186 pages of this thread lol
True, but not likely when the line is costing money but not generating revenue.

Why don’t you order it now to protect yourself from price increase. It’s only $100 and that’s the most you lose if outcome is disappointing. I ordered one last week.another day without an announcement. either something is coming or not. I finally want to order my model shaven't had a car since november 2020
Smart - I have had mine on order since Sept, but just keep delaying anything until we know what happens.

I remember reading a quote like this 3-4 years ago. Not sure if that person got their car or not. I will have returned two leases by the time the imminent refresh happens.
Could be true, but what do I have to lose? Just 100. Not a big deal, when buy a 70k plus car. Order just sits there until and if I pull the plug. Smart!

This why I love leasing, but know it doesn’t work for high mileage drivers and others. I lease the latest & greatest Tesla in my budget and enjoy its capabilities while Tesla develops the next better model. I get many, but not all improvements via OTA free updates. 36 to 42 months later (3 years + 6 mo extension), turn the old model in and get new model with more advanced features. While I must wait a year or two for a desired feature introduced after taking delivery, I have the pleasure of driving an outstanding vehicle all the time. I did this in 2017 and last week ordered a 2021.
I just hate having a payment. I’d rather buy a <1 year old car and save a bunch of money, then drive it as long as I want and (depending on how long I kept it) get a big percentage of my money back when I sell.

My next pool would be:
Do you think SpaceX will have a Starship flying around the moon BEFORE Tesla will deliver an updated Model S Plaid with 4680 cells?

The Model S Plaid has been seen testing on race tracks, Starship has not been seen testing flights around the moon quite yet, I'd say one is closer to market than the other...

Not having any vehicles coming out of the plant by now increases the probability that this is actually a refresh.
A simple line maintenance would not have involved 2 weeks off, and then several days of little or no production with a full staff on hand.
A maintenance pause would have ramped production up quickly to satisfy the unmet demand for the last 3 weeks.
