I'm on Oahu, Hawaii in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.
I have a 2020 MYLR AWD with full FSD purchased.
Earlier this month I put down a deposit on a Midnight Silver 2023 MYP that popped up in local inventory (Honolulu, Hawaii) on September 11 for $49,590 after a $4.9k inventory discount. Then added in my $500 self-referral discount, bringing it down to $49,090.
I promptly started the FSD transfer process as well.
Turned out the MYP was not actually here in inventory, but "was on the way" with an delivery date of September 26 or 27 (tomorrow/Wednesday).
I've been waiting patiently... Anxious, today I contacted Tesla via text to ask them to confirm that the car was here in Honolulu and asked them to schedule a delivery appointment if one was needed.
They responded saying that the car was not yet on the island, would not be here by the 30th, had no idea where it was, and that they would contact me once it was here to schedule the delivery. When I asked if my FSD transfer would still go through if the car was late. They said no, the FSD would NOT complete the transfer. They told me to look at the local inventory again so I did. Of the 2 listed on the local inventory they only have a black MYP which is a hard no for me.
Then they said the other one listed (red, $56,490 - almost $7k more) was due on the 30th. I told them that I would accept this if they would transfer my discount pricing. They said they could only do a "Showroom Adjustment" of $1,130 and apply my self-referral discount of $500, bringing the price down to $55,490 (their math).
Still 6.5K higher than the deal I was planning on getting which is a tough pill to swallow and I'm not sure I'm willing to do that.
Options:
1. Pay the extra 6.5K and get FSD in a HW4.0 MYP - as bad as 4.0 is currently, hopefully very future-proof.
2. Stick with the old 2020 MYLR with FSD. It's slow. The hardware is slow. Still has a bumper to bumper warranty. It does it's job. Just doesn't bring me joy. Fight with Tesla to get my $250 deposit back, if unable to, try a credit card reverse back
3. Wait til Sept 30 comes and goes and sees what happens with FSD transfers being allowed in case it somehow gets extended. If FSD transfers really do stop as claimed then try to get my $250 deposit back.
Somewhat iffy option: We also have 2 M3s in the household and a M3P is tempting however I've been meaning to sell my M3 and decided to go to the MY because of the hatchback - always having issues fitting my gear through the small trunk opening. It IS an option I'm somewhat considering though - just sucking it up and dealing with the M3 trunk as-is.
Thoughts?
