It seems for a while you, you can only buy an inventory model. The Juniper is not supposed to come out for a while. They made more cars than they produced for this past quarter, but you can still order other models. Any ideas?

Why can't you order a new Model Y?

But they have plenty of inventory so you’ll probably be able to find your desired configuration for cheaper and faster delivery. So why order?

Unless they’re listed as demo models, inventory cars are brand new and frequently discounted, so there’s no reason not to buy one. They’re basically new Teslas that have been assigned to a particular Tesla store.

Tesla hides the new order page from the main Tesla.com page, but you can still get to the new order page by clicking on the menu button on the top right. Like others have mentioned, inventory cars are new cars and you can get them quicker.

Even if you go out of your way to “custom order” at full price, they’re just going to match you with one of those inventory cars already sitting out there for a 5-10% discount. There is no bespoke ordering any more and hasn’t been for years.

Similar experience for me. Ordered a Model S last year and did not get it from inventory. Also ordered a Model Y later last year and did take one from inventory, but I could have waited for the factory order if I wanted to.

My point is they build cars in batches. Sometimes the order book is large and you wait for your batch to be built. Other times (like now) there are cars laying around everywhere and they will assign you one of them whether you buy from "inventory" or not. There's no case where they're going to build you a fresh car from the factory and make you wait for it when there are 10 with identical specs in your immediate delivery area.
The days of high customization and bespoke assembly, where you wait for YOUR car to be built in blue with sunroof, tan leather, matte obeché wood decor, UHFS sound system, but skipping the sub-zero weather package are long gone.

Looks like waiting saved you $5000... with the price drop today. Tesla is offering steep discounts on its Model Y SUV as it tries to clear out inventory

There was no across the board price drop today... these are essentially the same inventory prices that have been available off and on for the past two quarters.
Umm, no. Maybe this article explains it a bit better. Tesla Drastically Cuts Model Y Prices Because Inventory Is At Record Levels.
This article has been reposted all over the internet but the author has no clue what they are talking about. These are the same inventory discounts that were around all last quarter. But the incentives from last quarter all went away and prices have gone up around $900 from their end of quarter lows. So threre is no news here, just a click bait article.

I’m seeing about the same prices as when I looked last week. Tesla/Elon probably just low key had that sawyer guy tweet about it so it gets a bunch of media attention and hopefully sell more cars.

Umm, yes. Inventory has been at this level of discount or even slightly greater with other added incentives for months now.
