The *$700 discount is basically nothing. Would you loan your own vehicle to Tesla for $700 to be used as a showroom demo for several months? Of course you wouldn't. But there is some value in getting the car earlier and that value depends on whether or not you are bothered about waiting for your custom build. If you really want to be driving the car now, rather than at the end of the year then it might be worth it to you. But if not, then I would wait for your custom build. If the discount was $7000 then that would be a different matter altogether. FWIW the white interior demo car they had in our local showroom was looking pretty grubby and people were literally crawling all over it. I'm sure it would clean up okay, but I wouldn't even consider it for a $700 discount.
* I can't comment on the tax credit situation as I'm in the UK, but it sounds like that might be the real incentive to take this deal if it ends up saving you thousands.
