Does anyone have an idea when the mid-life Y changes (interior change/black geminis/stealth grey) will start being implemented outside of China? Countries that get cars from China but aren't China still show the old version. Countries that come from Berlin show the old version.

I would think that the leftover 2023s would have to be eventually discounted significantly, like 15%-20%.
Plenty of people will snap them up as inventory cars at the current discount. They’ll be gone soon enough. Meanwhile they’ll divert early 2024 production overseas or to far-flung domestic places (like they do every quarter) to minimize the amount of overlap on the market.
 
Historically Tesla changed model years no later than January 1. If so buying a one model year old 2023 car for 10% or less off sticker as they are now priced is an instant money loser unless you keep it beyond 7 years. But some people no doubt just need the lower price now and will buy leftovers.

One problem in early January is that if you order a car and Tesla has a 2023 that matches, there is no guarantee you will get a 2024 over that one.

Yes, they’re actually required to by law.

This is just old-school hyperbole from a bygone era. A ~10% discount will make you square within a year or so max. Mileage and condition matters far more after a year or two - an otherwise identical Dec ‘23 and Jan ‘24 car aren’t going to have radically different values.

Yeah, true, as Tesla doesn’t advertise or configure by model year.
