Were you worried you weren't going to get delivery before June??
Only asking because I am trying to time my order for delivery in June to get it before the Fed tax credit drops again and before the PA rebate potentially expires
Absolutely I was worried! For the same reasons you listed I decided to go with inventory on hand to ensure the EV credit.
I work for Tesla internally and I can tell you there is no memo or real predictions on when these cars will actually be delivered. There was an article yesterday morning citing we produced only 550 Model 3's post announcement! The key about the price cuts was that the $2,500 deposit is non refundable. Paying the deposit and not getting the EV credit wasn't an option for me.
Elon was also quoted saying we will not be at "volume production" until Q2. Whatever that means...
I will cancel order if it gets too close to the expiration date in June.
OH NO! looks like SR- orders will miss the EV credit...
Keep in mind if you cancel, they will keep your $2500!
That's not true. Your 2500 deposit is only non-refundable once they assign you a vin.
To qualify for the tax credit by a given date, the car needs to have been put "in service". Meaning you need to have physically taken delivery.I'm also not sure on the fine print on actually receiving a VIN vs taking delivery for the EV credit. I would clarify with a rep...
Don't they assign you a VIN automatically without your approval? Isn't this just semantics?
Ordered SR+ Sunday. Called in yesterday to change interior color to b/w for a little more pop on a blue exterior.
Change went through overnight.
While on the phone, the agent said the 2-4 weeks quoted is not likely, as it takes 2-3 weeks to get the car up to Canada. He did not have access to any data that would give further detail. Only said we are not operating like a normal company at present, and that they have plans for customers to see detailed order progress online in the future.
Update:
Changed my original SR+ order with white interior to order a MR premium black interior. Only paying a $400 increase for the MR! (2018 VIN)
I called and asked to speak to a rep who had knowledge of inventory on hand. Taking delivery next week! (Didn't want to risk missing out on the EV credit)
Also this article mentions that Tesla is not yet making 7,000 batteries per week on a consistent basis. Something to consider if you didn't have a reservation.
Tesla doesn't know where it will build the Model Y as it rolls out more layoffs and cost cuts
They assign the VIN when the car has started production. Yes, it's automatic, but it's only when you're close to delivery. You should cancel as soon as you're sure you can't/won't take delivery instead of letting it float around.
Dude I know! Let’s be honest this car is a game changer, I feel like I’m a kid again.
I can’t tell you how many videos I’ve watched recently on the model 3, car detailing...I even ordered some fancy car shampoos and other crap I never would have considered before.
It’s going to be a tough wait
