Yeah, it's NBD if you don't need the car right now. I think waiting a couple of years is a better play with a bunch of competition coming along and Austin Gigafactory ramping up production. At the very least, prices should come down some. I suspect there will also likely be some nice tech upgrades along the way. Personally, I'd be on the fence at current prices even if I needed a car right now. I have an order with April prices ($8K lower) so upgrading from my 12 year old ICE sedan works for me.
Took delivery in Stockton DC.. . MYLR, EXT W, INT BLK. Geminis, no FSD, no tow
They will cancell if he does not remove the hold. Best bet is to remove the hold not later than Feb 10th and not risk losing reservation fee and $5K price advantage.
A bunch of us have received the same e-mail.
This strict enforcement all started when everyone wanted to put orders on hold late last year waiting for BBB to start on 1/1/22 and we all know how that bill ended up.
really??Thank you for the helpful 411.
The 'Order Hold' system is a legacy from the days when Tesla felt the need to bend over backwards to get and keep orders. Some have been on Hold for 2 years.
I took delivery yesterday.
Yup, some people had orders in for $10k less than todays prices. Crazy that Tesla would be so generous to even send them cancelation email as a courtesy to get them a vehicle at such a discount.
2019 order here and not a peep since they sent a textimatum two months ago to come off hold, which I did.This strict enforcement all started when everyone wanted to put orders on hold late last year waiting for BBB to start on 1/1/22 and we all know how that bill ended up.
I read that some people had orders from 2020 that were on hold and never heard a peep from Tesla until last November. Then they started crying that it wasn't fair and thought Tesla was being mean.
Then again your friend could get lucky like I did. I had two Tesla ordered last summer to take advantages of a great NJ instant rebate program on EV, a Model 3 LR which I took delivery in September and a Model Y LR. I received three vin numbers for the Model Y, one in November one in December and one in January. I did nothing and figured to let it auto cancel like the contract stated but order keep going back on hold automatically and then released. I also received the cancelation email in November to remove hold by 11/16 but it went back in queue automatically again twice. Tesla finally called me last week for the first time since I ordered asking if I still wanted the Model Y and they would remove hold to get back in queue but I declined and took a few days for the order to delete from my account.
I also had the old pricing at a $5k discount but with all the improvements on the upcoming Model Y coming from Fremont and soon Austin I just gonna reorder again once I see people getting the updated cars but thinking about getting the MYP instead.
Luckily thanks to the used car market, I will not lose a dime selling my Model 3 and currently will profit $4k if I sold today. Hopefully another NJ rebate program comes out this summer as well to get some more free cash.
Methinks you're a proven customer and the MX has been delayed, so no need to badger you further. And you complied with the request.
Yeah, there’s that order but also a PYD Stealth (It started as a YLR-RWD) order we have as well — This is the one we took off hold.
It makes sense that not a peep since removing hold - i think the last time they made Stealth MYP was 1.5 years ago.
