    another $5k drop

    Wow, 23.5k was the “high end” offer for my 2018 LeMR 3 with FSD. WITH FSD which Elon says makes your car an appreciating asset, HAHA. Tesla themselves seem to value it at around $500 which doesn’t matter to them because they can just flip a switch and instantly add it to your trade in to...

    another $5k drop

    These discounts are all over the place and really minimal when you consider we have proof of cars with new cameras and presumably HW4. Despite that I almost went for it but as someone else said end of quarter is near and my SA said S and Xs just aren’t moving since the tax credit in the 3/Y. I’m...

    Model S existing inventory and pricing

    Discounts on the S are around 5k at best in my area and the Xs are like 1k off, really seems like a big mess to me. Tesla is Tesla’ing and purposefully leaving everyone in the dark.

    2023 Inventory discount Model X or wait?

    I would jump as well, I’m on the fence at the moment. It’s just a little over the line IMO. If they could remove some features or offer a standard range maybe they could get it under 80k to qualify for the tax credit. Now that’s hoping and dreaming but that would definitely get those Xs moving.

    another $5k drop

    I noticed the same interesting thing when I demoed an S and X last weekend. Listed the X as $84,999 and all wheel drive as $36,000 on the window sticker they stashed in the car.

    Model S existing inventory and pricing

    I would keep watching, once more HW4 is released they will be forced to discount because that will instantly devalue HW3s BUT that’s if any are left by then.

    2023 Inventory discount Model X or wait?

    Thanks, based my prediction on SA conversations and overall inventory tracking. I think Plaid is a great value at that price, however when we talk about Tesla from a sales perspective I feel like a base Model S at 79k and the X at 89k is a much more competitive spot even if they remove a few...

    another $5k drop

    I think any HW3 might go at a bigger discount but that’s if they don’t sell out in your area first, not every buyer may monitor the situation like we do.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    The demos are not really a deal anymore when you consider your buying “legacy” HW3 with HW4 imminent for saving 5k, even if it doesn’t matter to you it will decrease resale.
  10. jsrawa

    another $5k drop

    I’ve been watching the “demos” like a hawk but the deal just got worse with this overall price decrease PLUS keep in mind you are saving 5k but not getting HW4 which a custom order likely will have IMO from what we are seeing with new deliveries starting to get HW4 on Twitter.

    2023 Inventory discount Model X or wait?

    You are right, I had to scroll down to the bottom though. The order now link at the top went to existing inventory.
  12. jsrawa

    2023 Inventory discount Model X or wait?

    What I find somewhat odd is they removed the ability to custom order new S/X. What is so significant that you can’t even order one now? What I would imagine is a price difference whether up or down would cause them to do this, just HW3 to 4 wouldn’t cause that, if anything people would be...

    2023 Inventory discount Model X or wait?

    Good viewpoint. I spoke to a SA and they said since the price decrease and tax break the 3/Y are doing great but pulled interest off the S/X. This just makes sense, the huge price gap would be hard to justify for most even if you do get larger, better equipped vehicles. I think they need to...

    2023 Inventory discount Model X or wait?

    I thought we would have already seen more discounts as we near the event but seems Tesla is trying to hold out as long as possible. I thought we might see another few thousand off as a fire sale but maybe I’m dreaming.

    Can you still buy $15,000 FSD after initially trying subscription model ?

    I paid 5k total for my FSD and I overpaid and only now am I starting to see something for my money but really if anything just buy EAP, it’s pretty solid and you’ll avoid the glitchy FSD. Who knows, they may offer a discount to “upgrade” to FSD in the future.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Lookin sharp! Was this a “demo” then? Any issues on delivery? I can’t speak to the hazard question.

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    Agree inspection is key, my Service Center is less than useless. Service is not where Tesla shines, luckily I haven't needed it really.
  18. jsrawa

    To buy or not to buy

    Yeah, I agree. I think you can buy comfortably. I have a feeling more cameras will come after Cybertruck and then with your savings you could always consider a trade up hopefully without taking as much of a hit provided S/X new prices stay where they are right now.

    To buy or not to buy

    Bummed to see these trade in offers are only S/X, even if it was less with a 3/Y still seems like it would be helping accomplish the same goal, selling an S/X. FUSC is not worth that much in saving for Tesla would be my guess, even if I had it I would have only used it a total of three times.

    To buy or not to buy

    Have they told anyone who has purchased one of these “demos” that they have to take delivery by X date? I wouldn’t be surprised if they are saying by March 1.
  21. jsrawa

    To buy or not to buy

    This is the gamble I’m taking, I think they are slowly moving all the inventory sitting on the lots to “demos”. I think we may see up to twice the discount right before or the day of/after investor day. Maybe I’m just hopeful though because for that price I would take the hit on not getting HW4...

    Wiki Model S Delivery Update

    I’m seeing more and more of these “demos” being listed. Like you said they are obviously trying to clear inventory as fast as possible disguised as demos.

    To buy or not to buy

    I’ve thought about making the upgrade to the S from my 3 with the discounted “demos”. If the discount helps you purchase it more comfortably I think it’s worth it even knowing HW4 is coming. As others have said it always takes Tesla a while for new hardware to reach let alone surpass the old...

    The price on tesla in us is not even close to reasonable now

    The comparison may be bogus but you can’t deny that an S or X has been priced out of many Americans grasp. For a short time years ago now you could get an S for 60k, the 3 and Y have now moved into the pricing that used to be the S and X range! Prices need to come down or a more compact car...

    Tire Puncture / Repair

    I was just quoted the same on my Model 3 Continentals by Tesla roadside! I can’t believe $121! Really disappointed in Tesla.

    Tire Rotation [recommendations on where to get tires rotated?]

    I had a Tesla SC replace my tires today and they did the sloppiest job I have ever seen. They returned the wheels filthy with grime and grease all over them and with scratches on 3 out of the 4 wheels. I highly recommend somewhere else.

    Tesla Insurance Live in VA

    Does anyone know if Tesla Insurance covers if I go on vacation and get a rental car? I can’t seem to find the info anywhere, my current policy does and may sway my decision. Looking like I would save about $44/month with Tesla.

    Not getting any software updates??

    Maybe… I’m not holding my breath, it’s been months. I’ve found a few people on twitter in the same boat, there seems to be some people being left on the side not receiving updates.

    Not getting any software updates??

    I’m in the same boat on my 2018 LeMR. To those saying just wait, that’s a load of BS. I used to get updates literally the next day after release, I haven’t even received the holiday update! I’m on 2021.44.6. FSD and EAP emails never fix anything and service literally will laugh at you. Who are...

    Not getting any software updates??

    Still have not received the “holiday” update. I have requested the beta, had a 99 but received no beta and now I seem to be in some updateless limbo. I even tried opting out for three days and still nothing. Opted back in. Frustrating.

    540 Server Error

    For the past few mornings I keep getting a 540 Server Error from the car in my app. I like to warm up the car before I leave but I can’t get it to connect. It’s frustrating and a reboot seems to fix it but I don’t understand why it keeps happening? Anyone else? I’m on 2021.40.6

    Price of used Model 3s is amazing right now! [Summer 2021]

    I have a 2018 Mid Range with 26k miles. Only place I tried was Carvana but I was only offered $36k WITH FSD. Really disappointed, even though I love my car I would have liked to go AWD for winter here, maybe even P.

    Don't buy FSD for $2k more. [from 2019 - FSD upgrade not available for 2k at this time]

    I feel ok about the whole situation but I am growing tired of hearing Elon’s never ending FSD is coming soon nonsense. It’s always coming soon! Going to be fire! Going to be amazing! We still have a “smart” summon that can barely even find me in the parking lot if I can even get it to wake up in...

    What's the lowest charge level you've had?

    It was an outright blizzard one day during the winter I purchased the car when I was driving on zero to the Supercharger. I really thought I wasn’t going to make it but there were some extra miles past 0 in there.

    Purchasing 2018 M3 Mid range from vroom or carvana

    At some point you have to end the calculations and just enjoy the car, even if your not up your still close and were able to enjoy the car for two years. In my opinion I've been "up" for longer than most cars I've owned.

    Purchasing 2018 M3 Mid range from vroom or carvana

    I'm a LeMR owner and I'd say it's safe to say no more range or speed upgrades are coming. He alluded to an acceleration boost but it's been a while and I doubt it will ever happen. Regardless the LeMR was a great purchase sweet spot particularly because the $7500 tax credit was still active when...

    Charging 120v vs 240v efficiency

    To follow up on the conversation our house is finally at the electrical stage and the electrician ran some calculations and thinks it is too much load to have two 60amp, therefore they were recommending only one. I’m just really at a loss of what to do. I have one HPWC I received as a referral...

    So what do you guys think of FSD Beta?

    If you look at the old demo video of FSD they released a while back of someone driving to Tesla that is what I expect it to look like when they clean up the renderings! I am excited but a little burned that I never received the EAP invite he said early FSD buyers would get so I have to wait and...
