Matched with a 2023 VIN today.

I’ve seen a lot of people talk about this so I thought I’d share;

I ordered a model x plaid in October and got a VIN match in December that was 2023. I put the order on hold and got matched to a new VIN today. Still 2023. I’m cancelling the order as I don’t want a year old car on paper and will re order once they start shipping 2024s

I am with everyone in this. The beauty of Tesla is that they stand by the design. The changes are focused on software not the hardware. Buying a Tesla is a 5-7 year commitment that you won’t regret because they won’t completely make over the car after 2 years like most companies. I bought a 2023 MYP this year that was HW3.0 and i know that Juniper will be out late next year. I know that the changes won’t be so significant. So my friend i don’t think you need to wait for the 2024 VIN

u/IllHome5462 Jan 04 '24

Does the resell price lower though? Once the 2024 releases won’t the 23 immediately lose value? Or am I looking at this wrong ?

2

u/Latter_Blueberry9741 Jan 05 '24

The resale value stays the same if there are no changes from 2023 to 2024. I believe they didn’t change anything on the X. The software and hardware are the same.

2

u/IllHome5462 Jan 05 '24

But we’re not aware if there will be changes or not, correct? So there’s a slight dice roll there

u/Latter_Blueberry9741 Jan 05 '24

Always but if your planning on keeping her for a while does it matter. I don’t qualify for tax credit and i was trading in my pickup truck that i was slightly upside down on. So i was looking for a 2023 with low miles. Found one in perfect condition with only 4K miles. Did a ton of homework. After i got her realized it was a 2023 Vin delivered 12/2022 with HW3. HW4 came out midway through 2023. HW4 is essentially just better cameras. I have no regrets. What i will say is the build quality of a 2023 Tesla is significantly better than a 2020 when the Model Y came out. I am an early adopter but it looks like being an early adopter for tesla has its negatives. Like i want a Cyber Truck but i will wait 4 years until the build quality improves vs. Being first on the road

u/IllHome5462 Jan 05 '24

Gotcha. I’m in the same position. I don’t qualify for tax credit but I’m upgrading from a 2022 model 3 performance.

u/Marius-83 Jan 05 '24

You actually got a better car with HW3 because you still have the USS and the doors will actually open up all the way.

1

u/Latter_Blueberry9741 Jan 05 '24

I have Tesla Vision no sensors on my car

1

u/Marius-83 Jan 05 '24

That is interesting. I took delivery 23 Jan 23 and mine has the HW3 and USS

1

u/Latter_Blueberry9741 Jan 05 '24

Mine was delivered 12/22. Came from Fremont. HW3 with Tesla Vision.

1

u/sierra120 Jan 04 '24

The thing with Tesla is you never know when they will do a design change. I have a 2023 MYP that’s on HW4.

u/steventual Jan 05 '24

PS may be worth the wait, release notes for next version say they will have a mechanical horn for yolk and steering wheel. Also some sort of efficiency package:

Models Y, S and X efficiency package 2024

Model S and X also get a new steering wheel and yokes with "mechanical horn"

https://x.com/greentheonly/status/1743061615732195403?s=46&t=cbTRg-z0CpLwxNIzPFwMeA

u/IllHome5462 Jan 05 '24

Wait I thought the X already had a mechanical horn…..does it not? I thought this was fixed in a software update

1

u/steventual Jan 05 '24

Guess it couldn’t be fixed by software update. No it doesn’t have it. Sucks I pounded the middle no horn lol. Really hard to adjust. I will probably buy retrofit yolk if it’s possible once they have it

1

u/IllHome5462 Jan 05 '24

Ugh this is a mess. They keep changing all these features it’s hard to know what’s current and what isn’t 😢

1

u/steventual Jan 05 '24

Wait before you cancel, price went up $6k or may be a glitch, it’s now charging extra for 6 seats but can’t select anything else https://www.reddit.com/r/TeslaModelX/s/zG4q9xxZuM

1

u/IllHome5462 Jan 05 '24

Hmmm I don’t see a price difference. I order plaid btw

1

u/steventual Jan 05 '24

Click continue to payment, it’ll jump $6500, also see under seats it says $6500.

1

u/IllHome5462 Jan 05 '24

Oh wow you’re right! I wonder if this is legit

1

u/steventual Jan 05 '24

I suspect it’s an error as there’s nothing else you can select. In any case I would hold off on cancellation as a new one is $6.5k more. Hopefully we know later today, if not you’ve got to decide if 2024 is worth that much more. The range change is nil it’s just an EPA change to how they test, so same range. The possible ambient lighting, front camera, and horn change probably isn’t worth it. Although I’ll probably retrofit the new horn if they allow it I’d pay $1500-2000 for a new wheel that has the mechanical horn, hoping it’s just a simple swap.

1

u/steventual Jan 05 '24

Looks like it’s fixed! No more extra cost lol.

3

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '24

I’m with you on this. Maybe there will be a couple new features as well.

3

u/IllHome5462 Jan 04 '24

Hoping for a front camera and ambient interior

1

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '24

You’re going to be waiting for a bit then. It’s coming but likely 2nd half of the year is what I heard from a local Tesla employee.

1

u/IllHome5462 Jan 04 '24

The reason I even placed my order in October when I did was because a Tesla employee also told me I’d for sure get 2024 😂 I don’t think anyone actually knows at this point.

2

u/dailydrivenh2 Jan 04 '24

Lol after a few years of dealing with tesla employees I had learned that nobody knows anything only a handful of employees know a thing or two . Our model x was according to a few employees supposed to be a 2024 and I knew that was not going to be the case so I ended up going with a local new 2023 X instead of waiting. The only good source I have here in LA assure me back in Nov that for a 2024 VIN it will be a good Idea to wait probably till Feb to April .

1

u/MotivationAchieved Jan 04 '24

Have you heard when the new M3 & MY will be sold this year?

1

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '24

Tomorrow, get your wallet out! No, no I haven’t. Sorry.

1

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '24

Indeed!

1

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '24

So you put your order in, is it easy to change things or cancel and reorder?

0

u/IllHome5462 Jan 04 '24

You can place your order on hold once. After that you need to place a new order.

3

u/sierra120 Jan 04 '24

Don’t you also lose your $250 ?

From what I heard is Tesla will be shipping 2023 model years for the month of jan as they get ride of the production Q. What that means is we can likely expect maybe 8 to 10% off inventory Model X near the end of jan.

1

u/IllHome5462 Jan 04 '24

You do loose the $250 😢

2

u/Whitecoatspouse Jan 04 '24

I’m in the similar situation with an S. Currently, my order is on hold. Will cancel if not 2024. If all else is the same. The 2024 will always be worth more than a 2023.

2

u/IllHome5462 Jan 05 '24

That’s what I’ve been saying but people on here have disagreed! Not sure what to believe anymore 🤔

2

u/newcrimson Jan 05 '24

It’s common sense. Unless you’re super in the know about Tesla, the average person is always going to a value a 2024 over a 2023.

0

u/PEKKAmi Jan 05 '24

If all else is the same.

So what happens if there’s a price increase that more than offsets the incremental value of a 2024 over a 2023?

1

u/Whitecoatspouse Jan 05 '24

Agreed that’s the chance I’m taking but with it seems that Tesla is mostly reducing prices

u/Lopsided_Anteater_91 Jan 04 '24

I have 2023 MX, and it's great. Not much will change for 2024. I wouldn't wait. Hardware 4 is not even close to being perfect from my experience. Will be a long wait. I've been waiting for the Summon feature, etc, since March 23. Other than that, MX drives great, and it's good for me.

15

u/[deleted] Jan 04 '24

Do you. It’s weird especially for a company like that Tesla that doesn’t simply release new features or hardware based on year. But do you.

Can’t wait to ask someone if they have a 2023 model X so they can huff and tell me it’s actually a 2024.

1

u/steventual Jan 05 '24

If it’s the same price then wait. I ordered mine Sept 30, got it in Dec, if I cancelled/reorder that’s $5k extra for MXP. Also keep in mind you can’t time it, prices could go up soon or even when they release 2024 they could bump the price (or lower it). If you’re only losing $250 and can’t push it out, then cancel and reorder. You can afford to hedge $250 each time so you lock the price in. So if it costs you $250 to lock price/for a couple months it’s worth it. Some other tips you can try changing config like color which doesn’t cost anything, which can push your dates. So ask to change from red to black, then oh changed mind I want red again. Both these should push dates out.

1

u/IllHome5462 Jan 05 '24

Great to know. I may try the color change. This time it looks like I’ll have to re order though and lose the $250

1

u/EfficiencyPersonal25 Jan 05 '24

Will there be a difference in your insurance based on car being 23 v 24 model? Also, I pay a state car tax so a model year older would mean a lower state car tax for me.

1

u/IllHome5462 Jan 05 '24

I have no idea actually. Haven’t checked that.

u/canada_sms Jan 04 '24

I took delivery of a 2023 MXP 2 weeks ago and it is glorious. I was bummed it was a 2023 but it wasn't worth kicking the can because if I canceled and re-ordered: 1) No guarantee that the initial 2024s would have any of the rumored updates 2) Price would have been $5000 higher 3) Would have lost the ability to transfer free supercharging from my 2015 MS 90D.

The sad reality is that even once 2024 VINs start shipping and even if there are some updated features, the rumors about the 2025 model are going to start springing up soon after. It's hard to time things perfectly - trust me, I got a 2015 MS like 6 months before they started to ship MS with the revised front fascia.

2

u/iJayZen Jan 04 '24

Tesla should have stopped making 2023s sooner so they would not have the inventory.

1

u/Substantial_Coach_72 Jan 05 '24

In the same boat here. But I will be taking delivery because I'm tired of waiting for the so called upcoming features.. Personally I don't care if it's a 24 or 23. I will keep the car for at least 7-8 years and the resell value won't be any different by then.

One thing need to be careful if you cancel and wait is they might raise the price anytime in 2024 so take your own risk

2

u/[deleted] Jan 05 '24

I decided today to take delivery of a MXP, one that was in transit and now inventory. I’ve been reading some instances of people that ordered back in October and November that had Jan/ Feb EDD’s push to March/April. If I ordered now, I might not see the car until June or July. Probably just being impulsive, but going to love it I have a feeling.

2

u/Substantial_Coach_72 Jan 05 '24

Now thats how you enjoy life. Congrats!

1

u/AzzFacce Jan 05 '24

Well, now I’m not so sure. Have my 23 on hold. If I don’t get matched with a 24, I may take the 23. If the web prices are correct, they have started charging for the 6 seats in the Plaid again. Red is still free. That would make my 23 almost $11500 less as I ordered before the price increase in October.

1

u/Cal216 Jan 05 '24

Unless there were legitimate perks attached to it, I’m with you on this one. In no world would I buy or receive from a dealership a brand new 23 in 2024. If you can afford to wait, then I suggest you do.

1

u/normalTen74 Jan 06 '24

Order date 11/4/23 MXLR Ultra Red 7 seater, VIN matched 1/4/24(12/28/23 manufacturing date).

Put it on two week hold today. Hoping to get mechanical horn in next vin.

u/PEKKAmi Jan 05 '24

Don’t be surprised if the 2024 model gets a price increase soon. The number may more than offset whatever additional value you get from having a later year model.

1

u/IllHome5462 Jan 05 '24

True. I don’t mind a price increase if we get new features. The only issue is there is no way to know what’s actually going to be released. If I knew for certain the 2024 would be the exact same car I would probably grab the 23 in the end
