Anecdotally, I feel like there is minimal change in resale between model years for Tesla. Probably due to constant updates. Also, model year changes don’t usually bring product changes with Tesla’s unlike other car companies. Again, the constant updates probably have something to do with it.
I would stick with your order vs delaying it (Assuming it will actually come in that window). If delayed, who knows when you’ll even get it.
I don’t know if KBB’s values matter, but I put in a 2022 MY and a 2021 Model Y with the exact trim and exact miles (1k) into the “My cars value) and the 2022 came out with a value $3k higher. So I thought a new year even for Tesla is worth more.
There is a difference in pricing. Scroll way above where one of the posters listed the 2022 and 2021 MMR values in a chart.
Alright, I finally got a VIN for my MYLR 7-seater and have delivery scheduled next Monday! I added FSD last week since I do not want to change my configuration in any other way and here is what happened.
07/21 - Added FSD
07/24 - EDD moved to 08/03 - 08/17 (was previously late Aug. - early Oct.)
07/26 - VIN assigned and delivery scheduled. Removed FSD from Tesla website. No issues.
The only concern is my VIN is F505XXX while folks on TMC are getting F506/F507. Finger crossed this is not an old rejected unit. They are delivering to my home so I don’t think I would even have a chance to reject delivery.
At my home delivery they gave me 100 miles to find quality defects to be repaired. Luckily mine was in pretty good shape and nothing was found.
Yes, I think that’s standard for all deliveries.
However, when you pick up from a Tesla delivery center, you have the option to reject delivery if you find unacceptable flaws. The same option is not possible with a home delivery cause they basically just drop the car in front your home and leave. I’m not too worried about it for now.
Sorry if this is a basic question, but what does TMC mean? Also, is F506 and F507 a later build so it’s more likely that a F505 was rejected?
Happened during the first week of November in 2021. I expect the same this year as well.
TMC = Tesla Motor Club - a Tesla-specific community/forum
As for the VIN sequence - it really doesn’t mean much. Tesla builds a lot of cars every day and they then get transported to its designated location. There really isn’t a way to identify rejected builds other than speculating based on factory gate date (delivery delays happen - so that skews that logic too), odometer, SA manually assigning vins, etc.

I have built a role selector where one can choose the Tesla models they want to be notified on from a dropdown instead of what we had previous where you had to click on emojis to get the vehicle you wanted.
This also includes the new Model Y AWD model along with all interior & paint specific combinations

Second what @ilike2breakthngs said. I did some research here. Tesla produces ~50k Model Ys from Fremont factory each quarter. That’s about 500-600 per day. So the manufacture date gap between F505XXX and F507XXX is probably just 3-4 days. I might still get a car with issues but VIN range is not a good indicator.
Can you switch builds and keep price protection? Might gamble and order a basic MYLR with this tax news
Why? The cap is 80k for suvs. According to the EPA, the MY is an SUV.
MYLR has an ETA for mid summer next year, if this bill passes I can see Tesla dropping another price increase. Would be nice to lock in a lower price now and get the tax credit when delivered. All speculative though
Feels like DejaVu.
I put in an order for a MYLR-7 this morning betting that this new EV credit will get passed (and Elon will jack up prices accordingly). 
Unless a LOT of people get out of line, no way this Y will be ready this year…especially a 7 seater. EDD was Apr-Jul '23 when I submitted the order. Lol
Put in an X LR, and Y LR, all minimum spec.
won’t the X be too expensive to qualify?
rising tides lift all boats, thinking about increase demand for teslas across the boards even if X doesnt qualify for credit
Hmm. Missing the logic on this one. Wouldn’t demand spike only for those that are within the upper MSRP limit? And thus fall or stay flat for those more?
more demand for the Y will push more people to the X, i could be wrong but how i am thinking
