So you decided to go through the headache of accepting delivery, tinting, registering, and then listing it for sale? At a price above what the manufacturer charges for the same in-stock vehicle?
Seems like it would have been less effort, and more cost effective, to simply refuse delivery.
Feel free to make another snarky comment about how you’re not a flipper though.

Recouping taxes paid is going to be difficult, in some states (California) it’s going to be damn near impossible as the buyer would have to pay taxes on the price paid again when registering the vehicle.
Not exactly sure what you mean by “private delivery” and why that cost you more, what is that exactly?
Charger wiring? Just like with taxes I imagine people looking to buy a vehicle aren’t going to be too thrilled about paying you back for your home charger wiring, as that’s not something they’re getting.
It’s generally understood that any modifications you make to the car, the cost is on you, unless you find someone who will willingly admit they like the mods and are willing to pay extra for them. Generally hard to do because people like to pay the least amount they can for a product.
Obviously too late now but you really should have just cancelled the order. Losing 250 bucks will seem minuscule compared to what you are most likely going to lose if you go through with the sale.

Hope you see the irony in your post.
But you’re right. It is a free country and OP can ask whatever they like. The flip side to that freedom is the ability of others to comment on the ask.

I think it is important to point out to the OP that his asking price is ridiculous and part of why this thread has become a bit of a joke now.
A simple "I didn't realize my price was too high" from the OP would have solved the problem but the OP decided to antagonize the people pointing out the poor pricing.
That part! Everybody loves some free speech.. until someone chooses to freely speak back to them. Suddenly they are no longer interested in what someone else has to say.
This isn't a private forum, but an open forum. This means anyone can join and anyone can & will comment on posts that are not privately messaged. The questions posed to the OP were all legitimate. Why would someone pay $165K for your used car, when they can immediately buy a new one cheaper? Just checked and there are 20 brand new Model S for sale around the US.. and every single one is priced at $155,990 or less.
On something like the Model Y that is completely sold out, with a year-long waiting list. Its understandable why someone would pay more used for one that is immediately available.. than waiting a year after ordering a new one.
It's a free country, but this forum has rules, and the rules state that you cannot comment on pricing. Note the emphasis, which is mine and intended for you specifically.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if mods don’t want comments in the For Sale section, there is a way to make that happen.
The classifieds section has effectively become an auction site and a haven for flippers.
Seriously question; why is this allowed? And if it is going to be allowed, these people absolutely deserve a public shaming.
OP posted their ad, and when they realized there was no profit to be had, hasn’t been seen or heard from since. Is that the type of community member the site is looking to attract?

Not that it has anything to do with this thread topic but if you've been paying attention the administration has been pushing for and creating incentives for domestic production of everything. In the near term it actually makes sense to import as many minerals as possible since unlike fossil fuels minerals don't get used up and are available for recycling in the future. Every imported battery and solar panel is like importing a high quality mine for the future.

No, I said public version.
V11 has only been released internally to employees.
And based on the leaked V11 release notes it remains, like all previous versions, an L2 ADAS system, not the actual L4 or better FSD I was promised when I bought it years ago.
it's certainly vastly more capable than any system from any other automotive OEM, and it does keep getting better- but it's also still a long ways from what Elon told us in 2015 was a solved problem.

Ok if I refer to it as V1i? I don't want to offend anyone.........

And does not have V11.
Which is why what you quoted is him asking an employee to share the full release notes
Because he does not have them. Only the internal test employees do. Which is who he asked to give him the notes.
Elon then cites the fact it's weeks from now when they'll be expanding the public beta for v11, and weeks more before potential wide release.
NONE of which changes the fact it's still, from those very release notes, still just an L2 ADAS system.
You SURE you had a double major?
Are your insults really necessary? How could Whole Mars have 2 pages of notes for a release but not the release?
Speaking of straw men, I never said FSD is not still Level 2. I dispute your claim that "It's a LONG way from actual self driving. Like crazy long."
