Suspicious influx of Demo Model S/X in new inventory

Beyond demo units, all of S/X entire production is a rounding error to 3/Y production. Even though the production is small, it obviously makes sense to clear out '23 models at the end of '23. Tesla does this every year.
There were big discounts (like 9K) on demo's last quarter. I'm surprised you don't remember that. Then the big price reduction on Sept 1 lowered the discounts.
EDIT: It looks like overnight the demo's in my area got an increase to the prior discount by an additional $500-700.

It’s not that deep people. They do this every quarter.
Historically they didn’t have many S/X demo cars available (or any at all). They usually don’t even have all versions of 3/Y available to demo. Maybe they have a bunch of extra S/X built up from slowing demand and used them as demos so now they have to get rid of them.

Probably worth noting in this thread that Tesla says they are holding any further changes this year. User @reddogva99 posted in another thread yesterday the response below to his request for an order hold.
“Hello, we can place your account on a one time 14 day hold. Once this hold expires your account will match to the next available vehicle. We cannot guarantee that this would be a 2024 model year as we typically do not start producing these until the last week or two of December and they often don't arrive until 2024. Please also keep in mind that these cars will be 100% identical as Tesla does not change features with model year. If you would like to place your account on hold please let us know. As a side note, we will not be able to provide an estimated window of when the next vehicle would be available until the account is eligible to match again.”
Now,I don't think the soft claim of "typically" not producing 2024's until the last two weeks of December is historically accurate, but they are outright claiming that the early 2024's will be 100% identical. That strong claim probably carries some liability for Tesla if they were to violate it. I may be wrong, but I don't think they are changing anything soon. Still, there may be some resale value benefit to short-term buyers to wait for a car with a 2024 on it, but long-term holders probably won't see much advantage.

Well that is probably a silly statement to make. And I suspect few at Tesla actually know anything about future product. Of course I suppose it is possible that they make any changes on a date just before the model year change - like they did with the new paint SG - and then 2023 and 2024 would be 100% identical. Although they should have used more ambiguous language.

Here in Canada they are dropping the inventory prices by $10 a day. I've been noticing this since last 3-4 days. Took screenshots of yesterday and today.
Guess I'll buy it in 9705 days when the price drops to 0

Personally, if someone at Tesla said to me "keep in mind that these cars will be 100% identical as Tesla does not change feature with model year", I would not trust anything else they said without confirmation. As another user previously mentioned, the people who work in the Tesla stores are not made aware of upcoming changes, There's nothing wrong with not having an answer because you haven't been given the information. Making something up because you feel that you always have to have an answer, however, is not a good thing.

Maybe the front camera has a hinged cover, like the one on the MB S class radar.
If so, might be defective like my charge port door or tailgate latch cover. I'm happy with my USS so far...
Surely that is CAD?This is hilarious. I don't understand what Tesla is trying to do but I get a good laugh when I see the $10 price decrease every day / evening.
This is my last post about this. I don't want to annoy you guys

$10 is a laughable difference for a near $100k purchase. Yes a 0.01% price drop is the make or break point to decide to purchase or not.
At the very least drop it $100 per day, if not $1000….
