I don’t know what their profit margins are on the S/X, but assuming it’s 15%, that’s 1.05 billion dollars in profit. That’s absolutely nothing to sneeze at and I’m not sure why Elon was acting like the S/X were insignificant when he made the comment about the S/X production was more for nostalgia sake. It’s still a massive cash cow for the company and in my opinion would be a big mistake to end their production.
I think you are going to be correct. My 2023 car is listed in inventory as on its way to my SC, so I think the minute I complete my registration on the app, it's going to assign me that '23 car.It's still 2023 in Freemont. Given your history don't be surprised if a VIN is assigned before California rings in the new year.
That's good news! I'm screwed with a '23 hanging around with my name about to be on it. Again.
Crazy. The car You ordered for the year you ordered in your configuration being assigned to You! lolI think you are going to be correct. My 2023 car is listed in inventory as on its way to my SC, so I think the minute I complete my registration on the app, it's going to assign me that '23 car.
A 2023 car being delivered in 2024 with no discounts is the crazy part.
Throughout December I had that gut feeling that December 31st was always an aspirational delivery date for Tesla and that there was probably no way that they would ever make that happen. However, even up to 1:30 a.m. this morning it still showed December 31st. Now, a few hours later my dates have shifted as well. My order is for a Model S Plaid, Stealth Grey, 21", All Black, with the normal wheel.
Yoke it!I think you are going to be correct. My 2023 car is listed in inventory as on its way to my SC, so I think the minute I complete my registration on the app, it's going to assign me that '23 car.
Unfortunately for you the “I ordered a 23‘ but wanted a 24’” cancel/hold group clogged up the order que and those that wanted what they ordered got slid back continuously while they played lot roulette to park these uncollected purchases. Happens Every year with people on both sides of the fence unfortunately.
Lmao if I ordered in 2023 and got it in 2023, sure whatever. If I ordered in 2023 and am getting it in 2024, then I sure as hell want a 2024 car...
Fully agreed but in your example (Canada always gets late ship) they gave you a February- March 24 delivery date. In that example I Would expect a 24’. If they gave you a 23 date not as much.
If $3,000 dollars breaks the bank and you're buying a $80,000 car then you shouldn't be buying an $80,000. People who really care about resale value simply shouldn't buy a new car for starters. Always buy used if that's a top 3 concern.
Its not about breaking a bank. People that can buy $80k car didn't get there by throwing away $3k.
Agreed
if you are doing heavy duty math on resale, then the other T (Toyota) is the better option.Then don't order a car until you're guaranteed a 2024 VIN. It's pretty simple. People playing this end of year game and stressing over VIN year should simply wait. Or keep their car long enough that it doesn't matter much.
Exactly. Anything over a $35,000 car is a 'waste' of money if you want to look at it that way. Sure, don't throw away money just to throw away money. But also don't order a car in 2023 hoping to hit some unknown target date and then get upset when you get a 2023 VIN.Agreed
Realistically if you're looking to sell within a year (which is the only point where the difference might be $3k), fiscal responsibility is clearly not the priority. That $3k will diminish to a negligible amount if you sell within a more reasonable tiemframe.
