Oh wow, this worked for me as well after trying everything else! Thank you! Basically, I don't have premium connectivity and was using my phone to hotspot the car earlier today. Apparently that's what the car was searching for while parked, since it immediately connected and showed up in my...

We love the Model 3, but honestly, we'd rather have the Y for seating height and size -- but not at the price difference Tesla wants right now. The 3 really is surprisingly roomy, and between the frunk, under trunk, and trunk, you can haul a LOT. We have an ICE SUV and wouldn't use the 3 in...

Hello! Sorry I haven't been checking this forum much as I've been out enjoying the demo Model 3 we bought at the end of September! After some back and forth I was able to cancel this MY reservation, and they've promised to refund the order fee as previously offered (although I've yet to see...

Yup, you do as they consider it a new car. They used to give pretty big discounts on demo cars from what I've seen online, but it's now very small. I only got $360 off list price. Basically you get to skip the line -- that's your inventive.

Yeah, they add FSD to almost all the used inventory and you CAN'T remove it according to everything I've seen online... Unlike new inventory.

Yeah, same here. Over the phone they offered to do delivery today if I was paying cash since the demo is already there, but I'm using a bank loan and need a few days to get that sorted out. Keep watching inventory as the end of month and quarter approaches, people :) I bet they'll sell darn...

Hmmm good question. I didn't want to waste time thinking and just paid the $250 again since it was the quickest way to grab the car. At this point I'll probably just cancel my original order and let it go, but if somebody else knows how to work this I'd love to hear

Yup, a cool $15k disappeared from my price immediately. I already visited the RWD Waiting Room thread to encourage everyone to keep checking the inventory page and don't hesitate to grab a FSD one so long as it's posted as new!

Keep refreshing that existing inventory page, y'all! Like others, I started noticing a trickle of inventory cars being listed at nearby stores on Wednesday night. I almost pulled the trigger on a couple LRAWD, but I kept waiting and checking. Tonight I finally saw a demo RWD with about 1k...

Updating for internet posterity since I didn't see many recent reports. This IS possible on demo vehicles as they're treated like new cars (and listed in that section of inventory). Called the store and he instructed me to complete my registration details (license and selfie). That allowed...

Hi! I was just coming to tell you mine updated to Oct 21 - Nov 18. Interesting ours would be so far off again -- and mine is a 4 week window. I have no idea what to believe with them anymore so I'm continuing to look for 3s and used cars. I actually just reserved a demo 3 but can't figure out...

Is it possible to remove FSD from a demo vehicle bought out of "new" inventory? Google search shows some posts early in 2022 saying "yes", but I just put down a deposit on one and don't see any way to remove FSD online. The app wants me to start the delivery tasks (registration, insurance...

The EDD was there this morning, but I checked just now and it's gone... Desktop site says ETA like yours. Ugh, I wish somebody could tell us what's going on with these. I assume they're having issues with the 4680 batteries, but any kind of realistic timeline would be helpful. I'm now actively...

Wow that's wild -- and a lot of people here are gonna be rather irritated 😂 I haven't been around long, but it seems either you're in California and benefiting from the end of quarter sales push or somebody in your town cancelled the exact same spec you ordered so it's going to you. Congrats.

Whoa, it worked this time when I did it exactly like you laid out here. Still took me to a generic log-in page like it was doing, but it went straight to the configurator this time rather than my account homepage. Thanks! I'm not planning to modify it again since I like the idea of blue, but...

Doesn't work for me on any browser, unfortunately -- it just takes me to my account page, and when I click on my order I can only "view design details" rather than edit anything. I called my SC last week and they unlocked my order so that I could change from MSM to Blue in the hopes of...

Thanks for the update! I decided to keep the reservation for now as well since we don't see the harm in leaving it hanging. Even if they decide to renege on the refund offer, we're only talking about $250. In the meantime, we're monitoring the EDD on our Model 3 order and keeping our eyes...

Yeah, I'm seeing a LOT of sport wheels getting bumped up, both here and on Reddit.

Small update today. Switched my 8/9 MSM/White order to Blue/White last week and my EDD changed by only 1 day (11/16-12/26). Today it moved to 11/4-12/9, so nice positive movement. Not sure if it's due to the color change or would've happened with MSM anyway, but it's nice to see.

Messaged you.

Thank you! I'm a long time Reddit user, so I prolly shouldn't add another sub but I must lol!

Hey congrats! Appreciate the timeline! Which Reddit sub were you following? I need something else to obsess over 😂.

Well, after switching to Blue a couple days ago my EDD now updated to 11/16 - 12/26 which is exactly one day sooner than MSM was before the switch :-) Hoping that moves more in the coming days, but I'm not holding my breath. It was still probably worth a try given the other reports here.

Wow, I doubt I'll get that lucky since you ordered way before me, but I certainly appreciate the timeline ... Gives me a little hope for an update. I'll report back so others can benefit! Thx again!

Most recent EDD for my MSM/White/Aero ordered on 8/8 was 11/17 - 12/27. Seeing the luck on moving up EDDs by upgrading to Blue, I called my SC today and made that change. Now my EDD just says "December". Ugh. Hopefully it updates in a couple days, otherwise I might consider switching back. I...

Howdy, sorry for the delay - long weekend! No, they didn't know anything more than I did. And just this morning my EDD updated to Dec 18 - Jan 29, which is more in line with yours. Has yours shifted at all? I'm getting closer to canceling and just going back to waiting on our M3 order as...

Thanks for the update! I didn't get a chance to call today because I was swamped, but I plan to do so and report back. Again, I doubt word trickles down from the factory to SAs, but you never know.

Cool, thanks for the update. I might call the SC mine was originally going to as well to see what they've heard. I didn't order any options as the inventory car was totally base: White, Black interior, Gemini wheels, and no FSD. Price was $61,990. If yours was the same, I have no clue why the...

Huh, they updated mine this morning as well, but to Oct 26 - Nov 30. This is so weird. So now they plan to build these, but two months later than planned? And why are our EDDs so different? Are you able to modify your order online to change colors, options, etc... Or you're going to ask on the...

Yup, I saw that in the comments as well. It seems like the same spec and same price as it was in the US when briefly available. With Kia and Hyundai already offering 58 kWh versions of their EVs for around $40k and VW coming out soon with a small battery ID4 for less than $40k, I wonder if...

Chances this comes to the US again now that infrastructure is set to ramp up with federal money? https://electrek.co/2022/08/26/tesla-tsla-launches-cheaper-model-y-europe/

Just chiming in to say that several of us who ordered 4680 Ys out if inventory over the weekend and were assigned VIN #s immediately had those orders cancelled without explanation. Any speculation on plans for the 4680 packs?

Nope, but I'm pretty sure it's out of the question given the circumstances. More interesting speculation: I saw that Tesla just introduced a much more affordable SR Y in Europe. Could they be thinking of doing something similar in the US soon? I could eventually see something like: SR LFP...

Can't thank you enough for the update! I was going to pick up out of state and hadn't spoken with an SA, so I appreciate you calling yours. I did email the SC's general address yesterday and will post back if I hear anything. Like you, I'm going to let the reservation ride for the time being...

Nope, mine stayed the same in the app but obviously won't happen. I bet we all got the same text basically saying "no ETA at this time." Possibilities I can think of: Issue with 4680 in general as you suggested. Perhaps picking up something in remote data from current owners? 4680 shortage...

Messaged you!

Just got a text confirming what the other person was told: these aren't going to be built as originally planned so we can get a refund or stay in the queue but with no ETA at all. I'm pretty disappointed, not gonna lie ☹️ I'm a nothing/nobody who thought he got lucky and was only waiting a few...

Cool, I watched the two Motor EV videos, liked, and subbed. Nice presentation! Seems like you had a decent experience with Motor EV despite the two month wait for a MY. Sadly, I might be going this route for a month or two as it seems all the 4680 MY orders from the past week or so lost their...

:-( Wow, what a bummer. Looks like all of us who ordered these out of inventory in the last week or so aren't getting them. Talk about a freaking rug pull. I would've rather not seen one at all than placed the order, arranged financing, ordered accessories, wasted hours watching YouTube...

Thanks! I honestly wasn't aware of how optimistic Tesla is on range, but you're right it shouldn't matter too much for us as a typical commute is 40 - 60 miles (depending on errands and stuff) and we charge at home. We lived with a BMW i3 60aH for a year and have had a 28 kWh Hyundai Ioniq...

NOOOO! Man, that's horrible. I'm chatting with somebody on Reddit who also lost their VIN yesterday, but our EDDs stayed the same in Sept. I don't expect that to last though, and I'd guess they either ran into a manufacturing snag or allocated our cars to people with LR orders or who are...

Huh, I checked just now because of your comment and see that my VIN disappeared too, but I've still got an EDD of 9/5 - 9/15 in Lisle. Weird. I feel lucky to have scored one out of inventory and don't want to sound impatient, but I hope they're not having some slowdown in Austin or reallocating...

Y'all are the best! Great tips here and nice thread for newbs. Already ordered a screen protector, all weather floor mats, and center console organizers. Going to ask SA about whether I'll get front mud flaps and J1772 adapter, but will buy those if not. Might order PPF for the rear door area...

Wow, I've never heard of MOTOREV! Just checked their website and it's a really neat service. It's honestly not priced too bad either considering it includes insurance. Did you have a good experience? I'm sure we'll love the MY we ordered, but I honestly wish we would've heard about this...

Unfortunately, I did not. Dealer said they couldn't do anything until I got a VIN which didn't happen. Right now I've only got the initial $500 refundable deposit down and nothing with my signature on it. Not canceling the order as we'll still test drive it when it comes and compare it to the...

Very interesting you used it as a placeholder. How'd you do on the resale if you don't mind me asking? My wife and I actually discussed this possibility. If the car doesn't "feel" worth the money, or the ID.4 qualifies for the full tax credit and we end up liking it, perhaps we can sell the MY...

That's so interesting. As a newb to Tesla, is this standard practice with new variations? If not, any idea why they'd do this? Are they wanting to basically "field test" them in different climates, Superchargers, etc.? Or perhaps spread more MY to states with fewer registrations?

I'm in Indianapolis and ordered one yesterday that's going to Chicago. Immediately got a VIN and EDD of 9/5 - 9/15, so if you're jumping on one of these I suggest having your ducks in a row! Luckily we already had financing arranged as we were expecting an EV6 around this time, but we know...

TL;WR: Ordered a MY AWD (Austin 4680) out of inventory with EDD between 9/5 - 9/15. Am not prepared at all as we were focused on other cars and did this very unexpectedly yesterday. What accessories are a must, where did you buy them on a budget (since this car is freaking EXPENSIVE, lol!)...
