Lol, ya… you are gonna miss out on an $8,500 tax credit or rebate, but here’s a year subscription of Tesla premium connectivity valued at $120.Just got off the phone with my SA. At first, he thought I had a LR on order, and he was pretty strongly suggesting pausing prior to receiving a VIN/delivery date, as pausing after that point adds a note on your account that you "passed on a car" and from his experience, the logistics team tends to prioritize other customers first -- I guess the thinking is, if my job is moving product, customers who passed on a car before are more likely to again, slowing me down. Not sure if that squares with what anyone else has heard about the process.
Once he realized I had the Performance on order, he said basically not to worry about pausing now, and that if I do get scheduled for a December delivery when I'm out of town and request a delay, he thinks I'll still likely get a car in Jan, Feb at the latest.
He also confirmed that lots of people are inquiring about this very issue given the uncertain tax credit situation, and thinks Tesla may try to offer incentives (some free supercharging miles, premium connectivity, etc.) to try to speed product through for the end of the quarter.
I mean, I guess it’s a nice gesture, but I doubt that will change many people’s minds if they already decided they want to wait for the credit.
(since car is assigned/built) Hoping no further delays!
