Stay strong for red/whiteYep, classic Tesla, can't tell you what's going on.
I gave up my trade in value. I opted to remove the trade from the account for now so there was nothing pending (based on the "advice" of an advisor). My account did switch to showing there was nothing for me to do until delivery was closer but is still showing Dec - Feb... half tempted to order another one and this time start from the get go that there isn't a trade and see if that keeps me in range for Aug-Oct.
I'm just nervous because if my trade tanks $3,000 or $4,000 I'll probably be in a position of having to cancel the order. It's really really hard to justify like $8k out of pocket just to move up to a Performance when I have a perfectly good LR with FSD and Boost. Right now it's around $4k out of pocket, which already is probably something I shouldn't blow money on, but it's closer to that impulse range. I also would only take about a 0.25% interest rate hit from my lender... come December and onward though, who knows where interest is and trade values. If interest on auto loans moves up another 0.5% or maybe even 1% or something AND I lose a few more grand on the trade... well like I said, I have a perfectly good Tesla right now, the responsible thing would be to just be happy with it then...
While I WANT Red/White, I probably would be open to changing colors if it meant I could get the car in the next 30 to 90 days (seriously seriously if it meant before the end of August)
Staff don't really know any more than we do though, and this actually is a new "normal" for Tesla, my previous Y and the 3 I had before that both adhered to a very strict shipping schedule. Nothing (besides S/X) came to the Pacific NW before the last month of the quarter, everything else was making it's way across for deliveries to start on the East coast. It finally seems they've moved away from that since we're still seeing people in WA/OR getting VINs assigned and cars delivered late in this month (so not just a hold over that got slightly delayed in June's shipping).
I want to walk into University Village and be like "Guys, just swap out the demo car you guys have and put my Y in there, it's perfect without a single scratch and come end of quarter when you sell the demos, someone will get a KILLER deal on mine since it has 9K miles on it!" lol
(yes I need to pressure wash the driveway - pay attention to the car ;-) )
