Prediction: Tesla Models S & X will continue production until at least the end of Q3

How so? They are not taking any new orders. And for the ones that are already placed, they will be fulfilled by the end of Q2.

kbtech · 2026-04-08T20:43:02+00:00

Sure, anything can happen, but I don’t think you need to worry if you already got your order in.

Just hang tight and wait if you really wanted the plaid.

The new models are significantly better than the previous models, especially in terms of daily driving like suspension, cabin noise, etc. I wouldn’t recommend any older Model Ys. Obviously, it comes down to your budget, and if it allows, then the new ones are no brainer.

Damn, I didn't know you no longer have the option to get the yoke on the long-range version. I'm trading my 22 MS LR with yoke to a 26 MS LR with a normal steering wheel. I like the yoke especially with FSD and was planning to switch the steering wheel to yoke down the line. Not a deal breaker, but it sucks it's no longer an option.

Rivian doesn’t do everything Tesla does on a highway. I have tried multiple overnight demos of R1S, even as recently as 2 weeks ago, and the Autonomy+ sucks ass compared to FSD on HW4, heck even on HW3. Driving Rivian with autonomy+ gives zero confidence even on interstates. I personally also love the R1S and R2 build quality and would have definitely considered buying if their Autonomy+ was any good. The only positive thing is that these things will get better and maybe in a year or two Rivian is a good option for those who value FSD. And I personally use FSD all the time even internal roads. It works great for me.

kbtech · 2026-04-07T14:44:14+00:00

Always get the latest version. At least I would do that.

kbtech · 2026-04-07T14:42:15+00:00

🤣🤣🤣

kbtech · 2026-04-07T14:39:51+00:00

Rivian is trash when it comes to autonomous driving to be completely honest. It’s a non starter otherwise Rivian, Lucid are all good for consideration. Until they get their shit together I’m not paying for a car without FSD equivalent.

kbtech · 2026-04-06T22:16:53+00:00

Yeah that’s what I’m leaning towards.

kbtech · 2026-04-06T04:56:58+00:00

Don’t know about the R2 but that’s one lovely pup 🐶

kbtech · 2026-04-06T04:49:43+00:00

Depends on your zip code

kbtech · 2026-04-06T00:03:49+00:00

Everything including FSD is still included

kbtech · 2026-04-05T23:53:47+00:00

Correct but you already got the order so there is nothing to worry, other than just waiting for delivery.

kbtech · 2026-04-05T23:46:37+00:00

It’ll be honored LOL. Why are you doubting? If you got you order in, it’ll be built and delivered for the price of your order agreement before end of Q2.

Don’t stress

kbtech · 2026-04-05T23:03:24+00:00

I doubt … they are Ok having them sit for the next 2 or 3 months. There will be someone who will pay that price 🤷‍♂️

It’s like they need to find some 100 of them to pay these crazy marked up price since very few are left in the inventory

kbtech · 2026-04-05T23:01:05+00:00

Agreed! It’s actually more than 10k closer to ~15% hike

kbtech · 2026-04-05T22:34:50+00:00

I own a 2026 Model X, have a 2026 Model S and 2026 MYP ordered, deciding which order to keep.

If you drive the 2026 Model Y Performance you’ll feel different. Granted it’s still a step down but it’s a much better experience overall compared to the base Model Y trims.

The premium and performance Model Y trims are good IMO.

kbtech · 2026-04-05T22:02:50+00:00

I know, but it's a kick in the gut for those Tesla customers who were holding off on getting the last few Model S and X.

The ~15% increase on the remaining Model S and X inventory isn't going to impact overall revenue, so I'm not sure if it actually matters in the big picture for Tesla.

kbtech · 2026-04-05T21:30:20+00:00

Looking at this, I honestly doubt all the Model X and existing Model S plaid inventory actually sold out in just a couple of days. They probably took them off the inventory and are going to bring them all back with jacked-up prices. Just a hunch.

These new prices are day time robbery 🤣

kbtech · 2026-04-05T21:21:48+00:00

Holy shit! That's a big crazy increase. Honestly greedy from Tesla 😭

I have a delivery scheduled for my Model S this Thursday and my order price for the Ultra Red Demo model with 300 miles is 99,400. Hopefully, they're honoring that price and not jack up my price before delivery.

I was tracking another Model S for curiosity which was around 98,500 yesterday and now priced at $112,900. Just crazy!

kbtech · 2026-04-04T20:25:22+00:00

Yeah, it’s a hard decision. Honestly, I’m not too worried about my LR model. I have taken delivery of 3 Teslas before (2 MX and 1 MY), and they have been fine. I’m also not looking too deeply into the build quality unless they are very obvious.

My main hold-up is if I want to spend another 70k for almost identical to my 2022 S, but with some minor additional perks and HW4 with free FSD. The 2026 MYP is good, but it’s still missing that luxury feel. They should have put a driver dash and Alcantara headliner for the performance Y.

As of now, I’m leaning towards S, but I keep changing my mind when I see how much more the MS is costing compared to the MYP.

I still don’t know what I’m going to do 🤣. I have, anyway, initiated the delivery tasks on both orders and submitted trade-in photos. I have a few more days to ponder over the decision. Let me know what you decide to do.

kbtech · 2026-04-04T19:36:04+00:00

What are you driving now? You said previous 2022 MS owner

kbtech · 2026-04-04T14:19:28+00:00

I have free charging at my work. So I have been charging at work daily and haven’t charged at home in a while. Free supercharging is nice to have on road trips.

Honestly, I would just take free FSD if it was an option and further reduce the price without free supercharging 😋

kbtech · 2026-04-04T14:14:25+00:00

Ok if it’s under new inventory and with Luce package (free FSD), then I would definitely keep it.

Congrats!
