Oh I’m certain a great many of his decisions are the result of an 8 ball of something.I heard they fired all of their strategists and Elon just uses a magic 8 ball to decide what to do

The "End of Quarter" Waiting Room / Buying Guide
- Thread starter KromiX
- Start date
Definitely possible but new inventory is trickling in still.
Was at a SC this morning and saw some new cars with 6/10/24 build date stickers which is very recent since I am in MA and those were either built in Austin or Fremont which I imagine is a 2 week process to get them from factory to MA. Those cars had no visible changes from what I could tell.
These are most likely to fulfill May orders.
Certainly feels like production has slowed on the Y this quarter.
Interesting..
Most of the tax eligible inventory is demo cars. Expect something new with MY in July August.
Has anyone made the assumption that inventory hasn’t bounced back because they are retooling the production lines for the improved model y? They are selling off what they have but are focused on the transition? Elon said no to 2025 so now I think yes to 2024. Especially by November at latest in case of tax law changes in 2025
It's likely the revised Model Y with ambient lighting etc. that's already out in Asia. Someone posted a spyshot a month or two ago of one of these on the ground in the US. Just something to hold us over until Juniper.
Not doubting this BUT did they actually see the interior or just have an image of a Y with dark gemini wheels months back and assume it had the other changes too?
In China the dark gemini wheels and the interior changes came at the same time so would have been an easy assumption to make before the dark gemini became available here.

Well I bit the bullet, was waiting patiently for Juniper but being Elon allows FSD transfers once again plus we still have $5000 federal rebate and 7000 provincial that adds up to $23,000 in rebates. (This is in Quebec, Canada) We went for a test drive in a 2024 MY and must say it is not comparable to our 2020 in terms of suspension and overall solidity. So much has been done beneath the skin it is difficult to mention it all. Regardless, after the drive we pulled the trigger and traded in our previous 2020 to Tesla. Botton line it cost us around $22,000 CAD to upgrade which is hard to refuse. The provincial incentives are being halved in 25 and there is talk of the Federal being eliminated come Feb 25 and most likely no more FSD transfer. Just too much on the table to let it go. picking her up tomorrow. Ultra red on black, hitch, FSD transfer, and the newer dark grey 19" wheels.

Im looking at a used 2021 LRMY in black with white interior 19" wheels and FSD. I will have to pay 9% sales tax at home in Kansas.I'm looking to buy a car from TX or FL and pick it up or have it delivered to MO as KS doesn't have a Tesla showroom. So I have found some Fl cars that will ship to Chesterfield,MO for $1,000. But I have family and time to fly anywhere to pick up the car and inspect the paint and the rest of the car...before I buy. I know that in FL I will have to pay 6 percent sales tax....and then pay the 3 percent to make up the difference in KS. The main thing is I want to inspect the car in person before I pay in full without losing my transportation fee. It is a gamble to pay $2,000 to have it shipped from FL to Kansas City MO. only to discover the paint is badly chipped.
I went today and looked at the 2024 x awd which is 70k after tax credit. Before I went I looked at a 2017 75d. What a difference and yeah the 75d wasn’t nearly as nice but was 30k. I had not sat in a 2024 with the mechanical rotating screen. Man the x is a special car and I want it bad
My son and I just picked up the new MY today. My son has another 2023 MY. This new one feels better even compared to the 2023 version. The most noticeable one is the suspension. Much smoother. You don’t feel the road too much anymore. And my son said the seats feel more comfortable as well.
The feature I am most looking forward to in the Y are the blind spot indicators in the speakers - like the M3 refresh got. The suspension retuning is also worth waiting for IMO. Other than that I’m ready to jump.
Both excellent changes/improvements I agree BUT you are going to need to wait for the full refresh for those updates.
That looks like sometime next year and who knows what pricing MSRP will be set at, how long the wait times are going to be and if Federal and State rebates will still be the same as today.
As with anything new from Tesla if you order the day it is announced some configs will be delivered quickly and others will have multiple month waits with no way of knowing which scenario your order will fall into. Just mentioning this as it does not work with everyone's buying habits.
I think the X at just below the federal incentive is positioned right where it will stay. Could see as an incentive for them to make paint and interior options free on the X so buyers can still get some choices and be at that key number.
I may be overstating the importance of the Rebate as the X buyers are more likely to be at higher income brackets than Y and 3 buyers but qualifying for Federal rebate has had a major effect on 3 and Y sales.
