Tesla New Inventory Models

Pretty much no inventory for sale, even in the stores. It's been this way since mid-December. People think that either Tesla is holding back new car sales/deliveries until the next quarter to extend the tax credit, or there is a big Model S/X refresh coming soon. Or both? I tend to believe it's the former, but have not ruled out the latter.
New custom build cars are also pushed out a few months now also.

I can only see 12, all MS 75Ds, 10 built 2018, 2 built 2017 So there are a few cars but they’re hard to find.
Maybe a price drop is due which is why they’re not publically listing them, or Tesla are doing limited discounting? Third option is a spec change and something is now bundled in as std.
As an aside, is the price before the credit more useful than after the credit?
N HW2 (or HW2.5) means nothing is turned on but comes with HW2 (or the slightly later 2.5)
EAP is Extended AP (aka AP2)
You may also see FSD which would be full self driving
Thanks again! I guess you could turn ON HW2 but it would cost a few, correct?
Nice to see Tesla is listing inventory cars again. Most of them are the more expensive performance models but they have some pretty good discounts.

It is a popular sentiment that it's trying to hang onto the tax credit an extra quarter or the pending refresh but neither of those arguments make any sense. The elephant in the room is the Model 3. They are trying like hell to get those out the door as fast as possible (pretty much obliterates the tax credit argument), and it's obviously taking a lot of manual effort at this point until they can catch up on the automation. You're not going to hire and train a crapload of workers to do something manually that you're going to automate in a month or two when you can just take them off of another line for a little while. It makes the most sense that the Model 3 line is cannibalizing some of the effort that had been going into building extra inventory MS/MX cars. I really can't see them going through the disruption that a refresh of these would cause until they get Model 3 volumes way up.
.
At least one of the inventory tracking web sites has over 20 75Ds listed.
It looks like Tesla is relisting/making available large scale volumes of inventory in the UK (we've nearly 200 new inventory cars whereas yesterday we have maybe 30). The US may be doing the same, or will be soon..
