Ok, I'm going out on a limb here: I predict tomorrow will be a great day for at least one MX customer.

Rebate money has to come from somewhere. If it comes from the company they need to raise the prices elsewhere to cover the cost or take a loss. If it comes from a Government entity it has to come from tax and other revenues. The former makes the competitive in the short term, the latter makes taxpayers angry.
It’s interesting at the end of the storage area that appears to be holding all the X's. There is a short tent that they appear to be feeding the cars through. Just wondering if that might be the spot where they install the last “missing part” that is causing these to be left outside, instead of being placed on delivery trucks.
Looking for refreshed x with one door handle on the side, roof style if there’s any rectangular cut line on both side and that black trim on the trunk, etc..
The vehicle is the same as the Long Range because of the size of the battery 100+kWh. Tesla is just dropping the LR designation since that caused confusion since there is no longer a standard/short-range variant. No idea about the $20K charge. When did you order?
It is really hard to tell them apart unless you can read the rear of the car "Plaid" cars will say Plaid.
Sure would like to get a video of the other side of that tent, as well as the side where parts seem to be located... so we might be able to see what they are doing in there...
Pricing sounds typical for Porsche. My neighbor has over $25K in upgrades for his Taycan Turbo S + paid more to get the car now!
Sorry, I shouldn't have called it a rebate. I'm talking about the newly passed tax incentive that is paid for by tax payers. If the goal is truly getting as many EV's out there instead of ICE, the incentive should be larger for higher priced vehicles because it would take a larger incentive for buyers of vehicles in that range to make the switch. Again, I'm noting that it would be super controversial.
Giving rebate/incentive to buyers of $100K cars is political suicide, and of questionable value, if you want to get rid of the most ICE vehicles. It is better to give split a large rebate into 2 rebates get 2 people to switch to $40K EVs versus one person to switch from a Mercedes G wagon to a Model X, which they would buy without the rebate since they want the X.
I know you are kidding, but has anyone ordered anything with electronics in it from Amazon lately? In August we ordered a soundbar for a TV as a Sept. birthday present. ETA is Jan 15, 2022.
I've had SA tell me that they didn't fit AND Tesla gave me a return label for the ones I had just purchased to return when I emailed them asking, "Do these fit the refreshed 2021/2022 MX? If not, please provide a return label." They are still sitting in my garage, so if @Fulkth says they do fit, I shall keep them. Ordered ahead of time just in case there was a shortage of them.
Looks like someone on the street threw a huge party and people parked wherever the heck they wanted to!
I submit most of the tax credit stuff is off topic for this thread so Bruce will probably remove us all eventually..that being said everyone points to housing and how insane it is in CA. Other goods and services aren’t that much incredibly more expensive in CA.
