Model Y SR gone from options and LR dropped 1K?

My speculations:
- Lower price for trim level until QTR quota is reached (SR, now LR).
- Raise price for trim (Performance without 7 seat option), to get order for LR wanting 7 seats, until QTR quota is reached
- Because there are new significant change saved for next QTR, like LR RWD trim, New Battery config, Air Suspension for LR/P, or 7 seat option for P or any combination these significant change.
Without announcing them to avoid the Osborne Effect
Forget about anything .I have placed an order for MY SR on Jan 16th .will they honor it .I down 2500$ deposit plus 1000 on accessories
That is so weird. My account partially reflects the price change. The price breakdown is correct, but my total car price is the same. The loan shows a reduced monthly payment, but now I have to pay another $800 more for the down payment.

My account showed the same thing, and in the past 30 minutes or so, the total car price was updated. I assume it is just taking some time for Tesla's system to update for everyone.
So I placed an order at the higher price (order agreement reflects that), then Tesla lowers price and I now have that adjustment in my task and cost breakdown profile.
If Tesla raises the price back up before I take delivery, would I move back to the higher price of my order agreement? Should we be asking about an updated order agreement?

You’re right. Mine just got fully updated with all the the correct numbers.
Please let me know which auto manufacturers would honor a price decrease AFTER you've taken delivery....?
Well... that was short lived. I wonder if any SRs will get delivered.
I can see someone trying to sell one 30 years down the line. "Uber rare Model Y, 2 weeks production cycle."

Glad I left name/location out of it.
I think its great how proactive Tesla CSRs are at keeping potential customers informed about their product line, especially when something like this occurs and buying one of the remaining on-the-lot SR RWD MYs will require a swift decision by those interested. I suspect that people waiting for congress to make a decision on potentially extending the tax credit just had their minds made up for them.

I honestly think they had an over inventory of LR AWD Y's....so to sell them all at a profit they are removing the front motors...that would explain why the interior was not downgraded and the limited time availability of the SR Y.
Sounds a little far fetched to me that they could do that with already produced cars with assigned VIN numbers.
I think it has to do with lower than expected demand, small margins, and range performance. Tesla is known for their range (though inflated), the SR kind of drags down their reputation especially with some of the winter performance complaints.

If the Tesla CSR is correct and the SR Y is no more... seems like kind of a bad idea to take delivery at this point, right? What kind of implications could there be after warranty expires? I have one ordered and was planning on keeping it until the drivetrain wears out. Range is acceptable for our case. If for some reason we did want to sell it sooner, would that affect resale? Tesla hasn’t been as impacted by tanking resale value like the Leafs and Bolts have, but for such a weird production...

It was just a thought. I mean it's what I would do if I had a lot of inventory to sell lol. Besides don't they have a 60 day window from production to report on the Vin? Meaning if the cars were made in Nov, Dec they would have until Jan, Feb to report the details of the VIN like Model name and features?

It should be fine and may be worth more later if they bring back the SR Y with reduced interior. At least your has the full premium interior of the LR.
