I got a Message from a Tesla Sales Agent telling me that my choice to cancel a reservation for a car wasn't the worst choice I could have made - and this in a situation when they want to sell every unit they can.
I reserved a M S P that was available in Switzerland, to be delivered within just a few days. He said that was one of only few that could be available, and a way to profit from the good deals and conditions when taking delivery in 2020. Then, we decided: not our really favorite color, and as we want to keep the car for a few years again - no. Not this one. I told him, and cancelled.
- I can wait, my car works (even though not flawlessly)
- I was always thinking of seeing the Model Y in person
- There's the rumor these could be delivered to Europe from China as early as 2021 Q1, I could possibly wait
- I still want a Model S, to be honest - ride quality, ...
- Maybe I wait for the first Plaid details (updates) to be known - even if I won't order a Plaid
- New pack? New Model 3 tech... More to come?
- Model S could really need a refresh
I wrote all of this in a mail.
His reply:
- not the worst choice, to be honest
- Check our homepage, we've just raised the price by 5000 for deliveries Q1 2021
- go think... I won't tell you more
Oh, I forgot:
He also said that they got VERY FEW Model S and X only for Q4 2020 in Switzerland, and even trying to get one from another country to Switzerland was near impossible, given Tesla sent so few.
I don't know if this is a sign of changes being applied to the assebly lines, or has other reasons. Or is true, even...
