Love my September 30 P100D... But can't lie that this is a bummer. "Knowing" that this update was coming based on combing through an online forum is not the same as a heads up word from the company to a repeat customer.

I am disappointed that they are not working harder to offer a retrofit. Elon says it's not worth the cost delta, but I'd like to know how much we're really talking. There is much more cost to a new car than the buy-sell delta. There's sales tax, there are doc and reg fees, there's any aftermarket work you've done, and you reset the clock on excise tax, which is quite painful at least in states like MA. And it's a big hassle. I would pay some amount in excess of a buy-sell delta to get self-driving hardware on my '15 MS and not have to deal with any of that. Here's to hoping (but not expecting) that Tesla reconsiders or that comma.ai can produce something compelling for us some day.
Iam in the exactly same boat with you... no discount and took delivery end of Sept.
Personally not sold on autonomous driving... so no big deal
I took delivery of my P90DL early August so it's obviously a bit of a bummer knowing that if I had just waited a few months I would have had the better AP.
However, it's actually better to miss the update by a bit than by a lot unless you were planning on selling the car after just a few months.
That way when you are ready to buy your next car the technology will have matured. You may get an even higher level of tech. In any case you would be able to buy a used car with the new must have tech at a severely depreciated price
The depreciation is probably a bit less than people imagine as the used price isn't just set by what's available at higher price but also whats available at a lower one.
I walked in the garage a few minutes ago and cursed Elon and proceeded to punch the charger port - absolute relief.
The 'sales' team in Australia also made out there were no upgrades due for a while.
Yeah you're right. But still - I'm maddddThe sales team should never say that because they do not have that information. They didn't know it's coming, they got the information at the same time we did.
I feel sorry for the guys who ordered and missed out by 3 weeks like I did.
Yea, we should definitely do that. Let me pm you my email.I would pay for a retrofit as well. Hell, I would consider a $10k loss to buy a new one, though I will likely be more in the hole than that. Do not get me wrong, I appreciate the evolution of tech and Tesla (and am happy from my stock portfolio), but I would appreciate a little more predictability. For cars, we know general life cycles, we also know that they change (large or incremental) from year to year. The difference with cars is if I bought a Mercedes-Benz in September, I would have made the choice to buy or not buy a 2016 vs 2017 after having first seeing/reading about the 2017. Even Apple gives you some more heads up. They have a predictable lifecycle.
Tesla does not and it does suck. In 2016 alone, we have seen the MS/MX change rapidly with no support or sympathy to those how supported prior. Such is the Tesla model, I guess, but I think many would pay for the upgrade to the next level if they simply kept the prior iteration in mind when moving the evolution along.
Well, we can grab a coffee and talk about what a difference a month makes.
