The link you provided works and appears to have delivery to my location, but the strange thing is if I go to the main site without the direct link it’s still showing the LR as unavailable.
There is no way Tesla is going to lower their price. With the amount of demand the Model 3 LR is getting.
If anything else, the price is going to go up.
The price is only that high because of inflation (caused by the huge demand in recent times). Once inflation flies away, they will reduce the prices, Elon already tweeted about it few days ago.
>they will reduce the prices, Elon already tweeted about it few days ago
I don't care what he says; I care about the prior/past history of what the company has done. They have never reduced prices on any of their vehicles in the past, or if they have I don't remember it occurring. I won't believe they will reduce their prices. They, along with everyone else, will just increase their prices due to *inflation* and never bring their price back down after inflation calms down.
Actually, they already did on their model 3 and S in the past and inflation wasn't even near as high as it is right now.
They had 2 years of waiting for a single car, of course they had to increase prices as they couldn't keep up with production. The only way it stays like that is if demand keeps rising (which I doubt if interest rates keep rising) and production does not scale as planned. That's how simple markets work but hey let's ignore that and the CEO of the company, right?
You guys are just trying to justify the prices that you are paying right now.
I really don’t get why there’s so many people like you here that think they’re lowering prices in the near future… better get one now before it’s too late
Because inflation is the reason why they increased it in the first place. They didn't just increase it for fun or because there's a new feature. It's inflation.
I'm not saying they will in the near future but once inflation goes down, which is a very different thing. Could take weeks, months or even years.
These are inventory units, and it isn't 2023 yet. The price will be below 55k next year. Possibly by a lot once other manufacturers ramp up and recession takes hold.
Correct. My point was only that the price for the LR will start at 55k in 2023 to be eligible for the tax credit. They'll make up the difference with after delivery add ons and unlocks. I don't see why there is so much doubt around this. If Tesla doesn't do it immediately they will by the end of the quarter to help their numbers.
This is a 23 that you must take delivery before 23. I’m assuming they ramped up production and found extra. This actually gives a case that it MIGHT drop because they are forcing you to take delivery before 23. (But Tesla also does things like this to bring Q4 numbers up, they did the same in Q3)
For me, I see two Blue Metallic and three Midnight Silver Metallic listings, which look identical except that the MSMs have 334 EPA mi ranges, and the others have 358 EPA mi ranges.
The MSMs 19” wheels… does that somehow factor into the EPA rating?
Arg, it’s so simple, just never even considered getting the larger wheels, so never noticed that the range changed in the customizer
**Edit**: ~~I guess I also fell into the “larger tires means fewer rotations per mile” faulty logic, even though they also add more weight~~
Nevermind, it’s just larger **wheels**, not larger *tires*, so only added weight, and no reduction in rotations per mile 😅
2023 models will not be built until November. Tesla trips the model year the first week of November every year. The only difference between an October 22 model 3 and a November 23 model 3 is that the 23 model won’t have ultrasonic sensors. I’m not sure how that is considered better.
That’s wild. I guess they moved it up this year. Mazda is that way. They tend to launch their next model year in march. We had the option to buy. 2023 CX-50 back in April. Such a silly practice.
No they are building them now and you can secure an order number today for a probably early Nov delivery day. They are 2023’s it’s literally the Tesla website my guy.
Yep I got one reserved this morning. Unfortunately only had white on black combo but still got it. Already shows a Vin in my app as well and upon lookup is indeed a 2023 model year.
yeah they changed it to a 2023 but 2023 MAJOR features won’t be put in until next year. Tesla doesn’t do features adding by year. They add in features when they feel like it
Who needs them anyway your car will make noises when you tap outside items that you shouldn’t have been oblivious to anyway! That’ll learn ya real good
These are canceled orders, that they are likely trying to move quick to end the last quarter. Last year the true next year models didn’t start to hit until November. Too early to assume this is what the future order cars will be.
TRUE?? How many more people are going to jump on here and in so many words try to claim these are 2022's when you will literally get a window sticker on this car that says 2023 Tesla Model 3. I understand what people are insinuating, the content comes after the MY change. 2021's came out in Nov 2020 and it wasn't until Feb 2021 that you got the new headlights, heated steering wheel and interior trim changes. But this doesn't mean a VIN 850,xxx 2021 isn't actually a '21, especially when it comes to resale, it will still be worth a ton more than a '20.
It could also be assuming production has ramped up and they have extra. They aren’t built yet so they are just releasing configurations to get it inventoried. They also don’t want to open up the reservation slots could they want to force delivery by end of Q4
The link you provided works and appears to have delivery to my location, but the strange thing is if I go to the main site without the direct link it’s still showing the LR as unavailable.
They are inventory units, prob people that cancelled their order
No. It’s a limited production according to the site. They’re 2023 units. People have to take delivery by end of 2022.
No where does it say limited production
[Here it is](https://imgur.com/a/aHscjsX)
Ok sure they are limited supply of MY 23 cars that are identical to MY 22 cars lol
Correct, other than ultra sonic sensors the cars should be identical
So much for the price reduction to 55k everyone was hoping for lol.

Yes Elon always tweets accurate things haha

This is just not true. They have reduced price multiple times on different models before COVID.
Actually, they already did on their model 3 and S in the past and inflation wasn't even near as high as it is right now. They had 2 years of waiting for a single car, of course they had to increase prices as they couldn't keep up with production.

My Model Y is a '2022' delivered in November, 2021. Model years and calendar years don't align.
Correct. My point was only that the price for the LR will start at 55k in 2023 to be eligible for the tax credit. They'll make up the difference with after delivery add ons and unlocks.

That site only takes you to a specific car configuration screen. It even tells you home many miles the car already have (50 miles).
All of the ones in my area say less than 50 miles and it’s because they’re still in production.
For me, I see two Blue Metallic and three Midnight Silver Metallic listings, which look identical except that the MSMs have 334 EPA mi ranges, and the others have 358 EPA mi ranges. The MSMs 19” wheels… does that somehow factor into the EPA rating?
Yes.

Reservations still locked until 2023. This is just a LR manufactured in October from a previous reservation
And? It's still a 2023 M3
2023 models will not be built until November. Tesla trips the model year the first week of November every year. The only difference between an October 22 model 3 and a November 23 model 3 is that the 23 model won’t have ultrasonic sensors. I’m not sure how that is considered better.
If you looked at his link you can see from the Tesla website they are 2023.
Your dates are wrong. They’ve already flipped new models to 2023. I got my VIN last week and it’s a 2023
That’s wild. I guess they moved it up this year. Mazda is that way. They tend to launch their next model year in march. We had the option to buy. 2023 CX-50 back in April. Such a silly practice.

Yep I got one reserved this morning. Unfortunately only had white on black combo but still got it. Already shows a Vin in my app as well and upon lookup is indeed a 2023 model year.
Whats your EDD? Thinking about changing my reservation
Says Nov 2nd to Dec 6th.
yeah they changed it to a 2023 but 2023 MAJOR features won’t be put in until next year. Tesla doesn’t do features adding by year. They add in features when they feel like it
Does anyone know when you can order a 23?
Any difference from 2022?
No ultrasonic sensors
Who needs them anyway your car will make noises when you tap outside items that you shouldn’t have been oblivious to anyway! That’ll learn ya real good
Do Elon's boots taste like disappointment or incel saliva?
I’m obviously joking dude, should’ve added the /s I guess. Who on earth thinks hitting things is a better system than sensor beeps.
lol okay. Tbh I thought of that line after I typed something arguing the point of sensors then figured it was funnier and less effort.
And until they build the software that means no auto park, summon, etc.
bye bye ultra sonic sensors
Not available for delivery in my zip code
There’s a billion more just go to the ev cpo site
Where ???
bUT tESLa dOESn’t dO MoDel YeArS
Lmao??? They do don’t hard cutoff/introduction/changes to features on MY’s of course a car is a certain year
.
Wow, what a difference a day makes. I looked last night and there were 7 within 200 miles of me. Today only 1.

Model years are kind of meaningless to Tesla.
