I'm in the same boat, no modules yet but in the meantime enjoying a 2021 that took 9 months to be delivered. I'm curious, are you going to be a 2-MME family or will you trade-in/sell the 2021 when the 2022 arrives? I'm stuck on the fence over whether I should just keep the 2021 or sell it and buy the 2022. I only need one of them and I'm very happy with the one I have. I'm wondering what your thoughts are.
I originally bought the 21 with the intention of keeping it and not taking the 22. It’s the reason I traveled 850 miles to get what I wanted. I kept the 22 order mainly to see how long it would take. Then after seeing prices for my 21 skyrocket my plan is to sell the 21 for the 22. I will trade in if the value is right since it’s a tax savings. I’m happy with the one I have, but have some odd computer/tech issues. I’m hoping the 22s will have some of this figured out.
Sales tax where I am in AZ is a little over 8% and it's charged on the difference between the trade-in allowance and the new car's price. That makes it more desirable to trade the 2021 rather than sell it myself since the additional money I'd receive by selling it myself could easily be absorbed by the new car's sales tax. This fact gives the dealer some leverage to low-ball their offer if I were to trade it in; they'll be motivated to maximize profit on the 2021's resale since they wouldn't be able to put ADM on the 2022. The $7500 tax credit has some appeal but I can only benefit from it by taking steps to create a tax obligation for it to offset.
FL sales tax is only 6% but works the same way. I will weigh both trade in or selling when mine comes in. Driveway offered me $57500 this week with 7500 miles on my 21 AWD Premium SR. I paid a $2500 ADM and $799 dealer fee and overall I’d lose $1000, but the 22 will be less since no ADM and X plan.Sales tax where I am in AZ is a little over 8% and it's charged on the difference between the trade-in allowance and the new car's price.

I'll probably wait until the 2022 arrives, late July or August I'm guessing, and look at the numbers. If I can come out ahead by getting the 2022, I'd be dumb not to do it. But if it's less than a break-even scenario, I'm pretty sure I would be happy with the 2021. Those my thoughts as I balance here on the fence.
Thanks for the advice. The tax stuff is over my head sometimes. I’ll probably have 7500 or more miles when it comes in.
My vehicle shows a long list of modules, but has been stuck as “in production” since 5/27.
I looked at Driveway, and. was EXTREMELY skeptical of their “we take your car and send payment a few days later” policy. I do not trust that business model AT. ALL.
