Quarter end incentives

[M3Nicola]

Any thoughts on if Tesla would have any quarter end incentives with the Model Y this month? If so, what might they be?

I’m in no hurry to order but would do so if it meant getting a better deal.

It hasn’t been something that they have done in the past, so I wouldn’t expect any special offers this time around either.

There is only one incentive: if you're on the West Coast, you will get your car before the quarter ends.

Ummm, they won't raise the price before the end of the quarter?

Nobody knows

I’m in the Midwest, and I’m seeing a 2-4 week delivery window on Tesla’s site. So seems like I could still get it this month in the MW.

I did hear a rumor about a EOQ incentive!

It's called the "Buy a Tesla, Get a Tesla" incentive! All you have to do is buy a Tesla, and you'll get one! What a deal!

The only kind of "incentive" I would see Tesla sound is maybe offering/matching a different color or wheels if they have a shortage of a popular config (like white).

They’ve been known to offer free lifetime supercharging as a quarter incentive but if I recall it has only been on the S’s and X’s, right?

They would only do incentives if they want to push inventory before the end of a quarter, for the Y's they have virtually no inventory to push... so no you shouldn't expect anything.

I don’t know, the wait for the Y on Tesla’s site is 2-4 weeks, which is the same as the Model 3. Makes me think supply has caught up with demand.

I would very much doubt that supply has caught up with demand. Local SC gets truckloads of MYs every couple of days and they disappear only to be replaced again with a new batch. I wouldn't expect any incentives for the MY currently. But as always, make sure to order your MY with a referral code.

Of note worth mentioning in this thread, unlike end of Q2, "New Inventory" is not one of the main menu options from the Tesla homepage (at least in my area, not sure if this is locally adjusted).

If supply is catching up to demand, it wouldn’t result in much of a building of inventory of delivered MYs. That fact you’re seeing such frequent deliveries, speaks to supply having caught up to demand.

With Tesla, supply will never go much higher than demand, but that doesn’t mean demand hasn’t fallen to their natural production capabilities or even below. If you can now get a MY 2 weeks after ordering, After 6 months of rushed production, it’s to be expected for most new makes imo.

I wouldn’t necessarily think that. Tesla has no obligation to deliver within the estimated delivery range. Tesla is certainly able to deliver many within that 2-4 week window but it’s absolutely clear that not so many orders have gone well past the estimates in the past few months. My take on it is that the delivery estimate was lowered because they focus on domestic deliveries only at the end of a quarter and probably the majority of orders will be delivered in time, but they likely know a very large number will not be delivered on time and they have simply used the lowered delivery estimate as another means to increase demand to juice the numbers. Their target demographic includes impulsive buyers and the longer the time to estimated delivery, the less likely they will order. It’s not like Tesla hasn’t been caught doing crappy stuff like this before.

I was at the service center on Friday and I asked about inventory Performance Model Y’s and they had 4 available, three whites and a grey one. No discounts available though but cars are immediately available now. Unfortunately all have black interiors or I might seek some immediate gratification.
