SR Not Plus Waiting Room
- Thread starter Goodtohave
- Start date
looks like my VIN says the car was built approximately the first week of March. They built an SR a month ago and didn't even realize it!
VINs have no way of telling you when the car was built. (Especially since Tesla doesn't use them in sequential order.)
I am a SR+ purchaser who got a VIN assigned almost immediately last wed after ordering. Did you call your local specialists call HQ to get this done? I'm trying to downgrade but I don't know if I'll get this autopilot included due to the Vin assignment. Any insight welcome
We’re thinking on the same page. The whole thing with SR orders changing to partial premium interior is giving me hope lol. I’d like to save 2k. I’m already out 500 due to the paint change.

35K peeps are getting a huge deal, yet were the people willing to pay the least. It's really aggravating since I could have returned my car up until a few days ago.
I've been supporting Tesla since the beginning. Could only now justify dumping my old hybrid, and look what happens right away.
For someone who has spent so much time and effort (and buying shares!) on Tesla, I'm extremely disillusioned.
This is how much I lost for missing the refund date, or not just buying a little later, or the cheaper version.

SR Model 3. Black interior/exterior, base wheels, AP added.
Base cost plus AP plus delivery times tax minus rebate
(($47,600 + $4000 + $1300) x 1.12) - $5000 = $52,900

SR+ Model 3. Black interior/exterior, base wheels, AP added.
Base cost plus AP plus delivery times tax (2% luxury taxes when >$56,000) minus rebate
(($51,000 + $4000 + $1300) x 1.14) - $5000 = $59,182
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Price difference: $59,182 - $ 52,900 = $6,282
Good one 35K people. Seems the Tesla gods are smiling on you, while everyone else subsidizes you car
Wish I had only suffered this mild screwing. Mine was much more painful. I bought a Model S 100d late in December for $104700. The same car today in Tesla inventory is $82700. The exact same car for $22,000 less.
I had a VIN assigned right away when I order in March. I called them (phone number listed on website) and told them to change my delivery date and that I can't pick it up till near end of June cause I was going out of the country. They removed my VIN assignment and kept my order in place. Since they announced the SR as a SR+ software limited, I called again and modified my order to a SR and also told them I couldn't pick it up till the end of the month. A few hours later it showed up as a SR on the website with no AP (no VIN assigned). I then went and edit the design/order to add the "included" AP and updated my order. It is now $35K with AP showing on the website. I currently have a April 30th delivery as I can't take the car till after I close on a home. Hopefully all goes well and I get AP with it.

Standard. Actual mileage will be less. Mine was actually 7.
Very nice and thanks for the reply. If you were me would you just make the call to downgrade and go from there or get your vin unassigned first then downgrade?
Bad news 35k-ers...I just logged in and they added $3k to my account for autopilot. If I already have an email with a purchase agreement saying it's included, do I have a leg to stand on here?
same....I got a request to pay $35k this AM. I did. I got a vin. it said 35k for a car with included autopilot. It was all done, with a vin and a planned delivery. Now...they updated it and claim I owe them $3,200 more. Hmmm...Tesla is wild. They're a bit like my 5 year old, lots of thrust with little vector.
I was emailed a signed purchase agreement. As far as I know a purchase agreement is a binding contract. Any legal folks here that can offer advice?
Yea, it looks like I can't even remove AP online anymore either. I prefer the 35K model now anyways over the 37K SR+ I had since the 2K extra isn't worth as much as it was before since the SR now is software limited SR+.

This is insane. I called Tesla and they said they show the lower price in their system and to ignore what my account says on the website. I tried again to get delivery today before they can change their mind again :/. Crossing my fingers for three days.
I'm going to bring my signed purchase agreement and expect the contract to be honored.

The $35k with AP included was too good to be true and many of those that purchased it in the last 24 hours suspected as much and were trying to take advantage of a loophole/"deal".

I just called in to downgrade from SR+ to SR, specialist said she was pretty sure SR doesn't have AP. I'll be paying $36k for it (35k +MSM 1k new paint price), vs the $39k I would have paid. They weren't willing to price adjust the $39k down $500 to account for the paint price drop, they considered the new paint price tied to the new SR+ only. Kind of a bummer.
I can still hope to sneak add AP after I see the order change in my website I guess using your method Vinty.
