This has been discussed recently here: Buy new or used MX
To put it short, if you need a car now, get a CPO, otherwise wait because delivery times are long anyways so might as well wait and if there is no refresh buy a fresh CPO/Inventory later.

With Tesla there is no Next Years Model.
They make constant improvement and changes day by day, as they are implemented.
They do not have model years, just calendar years beginning on January 1st.
No difference between Dec. 31 and Jan. 1.

Latest real refresh was when Model X came out, small updates to fix its kinks have come up later. Speculation happens because of many reasons, basically it's inevitable. If there is no refresh by the end of the year, you can order a MB or Audi for half the price.
While the latest refresh could be argued was when the MX was launched, they've since changed the seat coverings, added folding seats, removed ventilated seat options, tweaked some interior materials
Speculation, at least to me, is more linked to the MS, the interior of that is largely the same since launch 6 years ago, the seats have changed, they've bolted in a centre console, and a few other minor cosmetics. It could do with going a bit more upmarket and possibly inherit some of the MX features like auto doors. The MS had an exterior facelift 2 years ago so its a bit early for another.
That said.. a new higher definition centre display with faster graphics would be cool, add in haptic feedback so you know when you've done something, but you can wait forever.

If there's no refresh by the end of year, the chance of an imminent refresh would be even much greater!
By refresh..how much is usually done anyway? LIke if it's just a few things added here and there to me 4-5 months with no car isn't worth that, but if it's possibly going to change things A LOT then I might consider that.
They never announced major changes beforehand. That includes the S refresh, AP1/AP2 hardware, etc.
I already have one ordered that's being completed Feb 26th of this month then being shipped to NJ after it's done. I say June because that's when they have their big shareholders meeting and usually announce new products for the year.
I know that's what I'm worried about! getting a car a few months earlier than some major change like 2x battery life or something. The only kicker is that if I wait I'll be without a car for a few months and have to figure something out there.
It depend entirely on what the trim and particularly options are. For example, maybe their chemistry advances will let them introduce a 115kW pack. That would be pretty major. Maybe there will be an even-higher-performance version. Maybe it's some neato accessory. We just don't know what they mean yet.
But if you mean "complete architecture restructuring", no, that's clearly not referring to such a thing.
Yeah, you're probably right. I guess the only things that would make a big difference to me would be options such as self-presenting doors, 4g for the internet. The battery pack I have is the 75D since that was the most I could spend right now.
I hear you. In the same boat. Let's see what March brings
Ofcourse, won't be fun if they DO introduce major changes later but then I feel Model 3 is getting most love /attention right now...

Do they usually introduce changes in March?
No, AP was changed in Oct/Nov, 90kwh battery was Aug, 100kwh battery was I think announced Oct and I recall MS facelift was in the summer.
