But they might offer you a '23 with a discount...that would be a hard pass for most folks unless the need a car immediately.

They wanted to give me a 23 VIN in January with no discount.
I would hope most people will tell them to pound sand.
Thanks for the photos. This is pretty cool to see. My delivery will be very different since the service center only has the capability to cram about 10 cars in to the parking lot for delivery. In fact, if you want to go for a test drive you have to park on the street and pay for metered parking. So, seeing the factory and the line of cars is pretty cool.

I cancelled, but I should have waited to cancel until I had my new order placed, just in case the prices go up.
Just got my Model X VIN a moment ago. Ordered on 12/18. It’s scheduled to be delivered in Feb or March and is a 2023 VIN!!!?
Thanks for info. Weird that you got a VIN so early with a delivery date that far out.
Post in the MX threads to avoid confusing folks in the MS thread.
Here are my delivery details. Tried to order an inventory Model S (long range, red, cream insides) on Dec 8th. But they didn’t tell me it was a Cal car and not something I could get in Georgia. On Dec 11th they had arranged for a new car instead (inventory cars seem discounted at $1 a mile) so not that much of a benefit to get one. My car was to arrive in Georgia on Dec 30th for pick up on 31st. This varied from Jan-Feb back to the 31st. But car actually arrived on Dec 29th and I picked it up on the 30th. Simple handover, and I have found no flaws. (10 miles on it). So I feel with 1k off for early truck reservation, red color for no cost, and the transfer of supercharging made it worth it. My previous car (Blue model S) lasted me 10+ years and I hope this one does the same.

It great to hear an early adopter (In a Tesla Desert, no less) has had a great experience, and a good delivery on a new (Well optioned, IMO) MS to boot.
From the earlier posts, I'm wondering if there is a chance that there will never be a '24 MS or MX, and a phase out of production later in next year?
They are such a small portion of sales, and if the new highland is a popular, maybe it makes sense.

I've been thinking the same.
Folks have been saying that the MS/MX is no longer consuming R&D cost so every single unit out the door is "free" money.
It's very possible when demand becomes low enough, it'll start to become an overhead cost to supply chain to get parts for manufacture. That's when difficult decisions must be made.
I don't see demand sky rocketing anytime soon now that more and more players are entering the market. Sure there's some pros and cons compared to MS/MX, but that gap is continuously shrinking.
Minor updates will temporarily delay that difficult decision. Major changes will be required to keep the product line going in the longer term.

That’s really going to complicate resale even more than it already is.
So your assuming nearly 7 Billion dollars in SX sales for 2023 as an American made car isn’t worth their time? While I like the Model 3 it is no comparison to a MSP in my opinion.
Discount. As soon as year ticks over to 2024, you have lost about $10k on that new 2023 car if you go and trade it in or it gets totaled. They should be offering $4k-$5k discount on 2023 model year sold in 2024.

I agree the M3 is no comparison, but 95% of new Tesla buyers are not buying it, literally.
At some point, the MS in it's current config. will be overtaken by the competition.
