Tesla dropped prices by $3-$5k on Model Y and Model 3. You can now get a base trim Model Y from inventory for $58k, or order new for around $61k. I don't think any other EV makers have Tesla's capacity to push prices down. The pressure is on other brands to bring their prices down, and this...

Once again I am pleased that I canceled the order I made in December. With Tesla's worldwide inventory glut I will not be surprised if prices go down again.

The only problem is now there are rumours that LFP batteries are coming to Model Y long range, so now I am hesitant again lol

yes $400 gone. My decision had a lot to do with my view that Quicksilver colour and HW4 were coming soon.

My order arrived in late Feb, I then delayed and delayed until it was canceled

I'm currently feeling a lot better about cancelling my model Y order. Base model inventory Model Y drive away now starts at $67,501. The sale is now officially on. I anticipated this whilst others on this thread said Tesla wouldn't do it. This move by Tesla makes perfect sense to me...

Me wanting Quicksilver & HW4 is 95% of my reason. The rest is my preference for a car manufactured in the current year, which has implications in future resale value

My dollars & I are happy to wait

After having my order delayed on Glovis, then reassigned a car made on 26 December, then stalling for more than a month, I decided to forfeit the $400 and cancel my Model Y order. My reason is that Gigafactory Shanghai is now building model Ys with HW4 and also in Quicksilver colour though not...

Australia - the only continent where bird poop cracks windshields

I looked back at my emails from Tesla, and not long after my order date there was an email saying it's not too late to have my trade-in quoted. I clicked the link and filled out the form, and it said the trade-in portal would be re-opened within 2 days, and so it was. Right now the portal is...

https://thedriven.io/2024/02/02/tesla-adds-a-splash-of-sliver-and-upgraded-cameras-to-model-y/ Chinese buyers can order Quicksilver on the website right now, I checked. Also all new Model Y's are coming with HW4

I am now seriously considering cancelling my order, because Tesla China has announced new model Y colours including Quicksilver. While I mull this decision, I re-opened the trade-in portal for my order, which effectively puts it on hold.

My guess is the unloading of MC is impacted by the Wharfies strike

Well & truly inside the bay now!

05:50, 26 Jan - Morning Crystal looks like it's coming into Port Phillip

For those in Melbourne who are waiting, here is the latest from the ship movements website of Ports Victoria. MC is now scheduled for 26 Jan which as we all know is Australia Day. I will be surprised if any cars are unloaded over the long weekend. My current window is 27 Jan to 17 Feb, my guess...

As an Uber driver I want to sound off regarding this discussion about 23 vs 24 models. The car I've been assigned was made on 27 December so it's still 2023 but just barely. The Model Y is eligible for Uber Premier for 6 years from the production year, which means my car will lose eligibility to...

Is Crystal playing hard to get for us Melburnians? Yeah nah, my working conspiracy theory is that the wharfies industrial action is causing delays in Port Melbourne. The journey isn't over yet!

Oh and in the off chance anyone else was wondering what the Google result for "Captain Crystal" would be. Let's pretend she's the one bringing us our cars :D

Crystal is coming in hot. Dear Captain, please mind skull rock and the prom, they have taken many ships. See you soon!

Morning Crystal is cruising towards Sydney

The wharfies are striking, met a DP World exec today who told me about it. The wharf is a ghost town. This might be an issue because the cars don’t drive themselves off the ship.

Just off Brisbane

Morning Crystal: 3 days to Brisbane

You can track it in realtime using this link on Shipnext: https://shipnext.com/vessel/9574080/Morning%20Crystal

The ship in the video is not the Morning Crystal. MC's IMO is 9574080, that one is 9626704 (seen at 2:49). The ship in the video is a China-flagged ship named the AN JI 9. It regularly takes cars from Shanghai to the northern Chinese ports of Yantai, Dalian and Tianjin.

Good morning fellow Glovis survivors! Just a note regarding the new VINs - there has been a lot of speculation that Shanghai is about to or has started producing model Ys with HW4. Today it was confirmed to me that my new VIN 363#### has HW3. So far there are zero Model Ys from Shanghai with...

Wow, I was considering buying this unit, fortunately I came across this thread before pulling the trigger. What a piece of trash! Seriously I am shocked that there isn't a quality brand making an instrument cluster for the MY/M3.

Greetings all - here's a positive thought for those who still haven't received their new VINs - if you still haven't gotten a VIN then most likely you will be assigned a car with a 2024 birthday. This means better resale value in the future.

Abusing call centre and showroom staff isn't venting and it's not the natural thing to do, it's abuse.

Regarding any potential refresh/updates in the new VINs So - I just got off the phone with Tesla and got many questions answered by the very nice young lady who answered. Our cars with the new VINs will be the exact same spec as the car that we ordered. I asked specifically about aesthetic...

If production slowed down then the build date would be even later. Model Y production at Shanghai has been linear for quite a while

Those who are asking what the build date is for the new 36#### VINs, I answered this in detail yesterday. The build date is around December 20 just over 1 week ago

That would of course be a fun plot twist

Upgraded with what? If you mean the refresh then I think no, that's not coming off the line until next year. Juniper which is the big upgrade will be for 2025 I think

Build dates for new VINS: According to this page the build date for model Y VINs in the 189### range were in the first few days of October. 260582 was produced on 03 November. Shanghai is currently producing about 2,150 Model Ys per day, so VINs in the 363### range were manufactured on 20...

Yep my order now has a new VINin in the PC36#### range (previous VIN was PC18####). And my EDD (Melbourne) is now Jan 28 - Feb 18 which is nearly 3 weeks earlier than the last updated EDD. The cars will be here soon enough!

If Tesla wanted our orders canceled, then Tesla would go ahead and cancel them.

I got my VIN a few days after ordering on Dec 1, and last week was told I would get the 6 weeks EAP.

Yes I got the same email. I got the previous email about 6 months EAP previously. My EDD hasn't changed since the last update, it's now Feb 10 - Mar 2

Personally I am satisfied when it comes to Tesla's communication with regards to this issue. Car manufacturers have to deal with logistics force majeures which can result in scenarios like this. They can't just have a back up ship full of Y's to ensure they deliver on time. What I am very...

Christmas GC update you've all been waiting for

yes I received the VIN on 04 December just 3 days after I ordered. I ordered from inventory (falsely assuming my car was in Australia lol)

I ordered mine on 01 Dec and got the 6 months EAP. Maybe you just didn’t get the email? Check your junk folder etc

An email was sent to many people with vehicles on the GC, promising this.

Seeing as people on this thread are constantly tracking the ship, it should be no surprise that we knew about it here earlier than anyone you would communicate with at Tesla
