No nation wide inventory search...

[Fourdoor]

I keep seeing people talk about getting inventory cars... how do you find them? I am limited to a 200 mile search from the zip code I put in, no nation wide search option available (which makes no sense at all)... so how do you guys find inventory cars?

But inventory is probably extremely limited now.

Lots of cars with FSD... and even though it just involves flipping a bit in software I have had no success talking Tesla into removing FSD when I was looking at used 3's a couple months ago... so I assume it is the same on new cars.

Don't assume. I had them remove it from the one I jumped to.

Good to know! I am busy selling my Miata this weekend, but I will talk to my delivery specialist when I get a chance about being open to a LR with no tow hitch / or different color if one becomes available

Tesla will remove FSD only on new cars in the listings, not used cars on their inventory page. Confirmed with chat agents as well as multiple reps I’ve spoken to.

I may not bother... a car with the same specs as mine now costs $500 more than it did yesterday. Not really worth $500 for earlier delivery.

LOLZ @ the Perf model w/Gemini’s costing $13K more than the ACTUAL Performance trim w/Uberturbines.

Yea what in the world is going on with that pricing. The inflated used car prices are on thing but for new inventory...huh?

So how does this work? You find one and tell your SA about it and they see if they can allocate the car to you? Its crazy how these used car prices are so high.

Yea that's how it would work but you usually lose the $100 order fee from your original order. However, these inventory vehicles get snatched up so quick it's probably not worth it trying to get hold of your SA to do this.

Thanks for the info. I'd rather wait for my brand new MYP rather than pay the same price for a used one!

It's starting to get interesting because I think lots of people would agree with you even when forced to wait the typical ~4-6 weeks for a Tesla compared to most ICE vehicles. Now that the wait for folks are stretching into ~5-6mo. for some people (based on some April orders I see that now have Oct. EDDs), I can almost understand the desperation.

Also, miles don't matter as much on EVs as ICE. I actually bought a used 2018 LR RWD in 2019 w/ 4,000mi. on it but I did get it for $10k less than new so that was an easy choice for me .
