12/05/22 Build Week Gang

I am in NorCal. Near BNSF Stockton hub. So hopefully it’s only delayed a few weeks at most.

Strange - normally NorCal is UP.

Hmmm - I better check on the BNSF line for any embargo...

kinda makes sense, when I looked up BNSF they have a rail yard in Stockton CA

Union Pacific trace says my railcar is awaiting placement. I believe this means its arrived at Mira Loma.

That's a positive sign. Hopefully truck transport isn't backed up too much for delivery to your dealer. Keep us posted.

Has anyone seen those massive price cuts on Teslas… if anyone having second guesses about qualifying for tax credit the model Y now does…

Oh yeah, I saw that yesterday and was shocked at the price cuts from $3K to $20K.

Price wars to make them cheaper than before with the $7500 tax credit eligible 3 and Y are going to be competitive!

Yes super crazy. Can’t lie I took a look. But quickly remembered how much I don’t like the way they look. Plus I ordered a select model at the 22 price point. So really its comparison is a model 3. So sedan vs crossover. Needless to say still looking forward to delivery.

Got me thinking of my incoming Premium - another thread said that the price point of the MME as worrisome as a result of Tesla's price drop....

Would you consider comparing the MME to the Tesla 3 or Y ?

I would say overal the MME is the a comparison to the Y. However depending on what model you get will determine which one to compare to price wise

It compares to the Y, but personally I don’t like Tesla’s. It’s just a personal preference thing. I’m renting a M3 from Hertz next weekend and we’ll see how that goes as a driver.

Plus, with Ford at least I have a locked in interest rate. Even on a similar priced MY, the Mach-E is significantly cheaper once you factor in current interest rates.

Union Pacific reports my railcar was empty in Mira Loma as of 1/13 12:09am.

It is a move up from 4.49% to 5.14%. I abandoned my MME yesterday.

EDIT: Maybe it is more that I stood up my MME. It would have had to arrive first for me to abandon it.

Yea for me with ordering a select at 22 pricing. It puts me a lot cheaper then the model Y, and my credit union locked me into a 3.25% as of right now
