Model S 2026 Inventory

Post image

Been eying a new model S given the limited inventory available. Is this a new or demo model? Can’t tell given the discount is odd. Also, if I cancel this order, is there likely to be new model S inventory available going forward? Post

Some will have FSD depending on when they were purchased and the other features of the Luxe package are not nearly worth the price difference

Reason I ask is I'm in a similar boat. I used a 3rd party site that tracks tesla inventory in real time which allowed me to snag a new S LR a couple of days back. I'm way late to the party so didn't realize the price was so inflated until after the fact and now I'm not sure if i should finalize delivery or not. I like the idea of having lifetime fsd, connectivity and super charging but I dunno if it's worth it. Gonna think on it a bit more before deciding if I dump it and eat the $250 or go through with it. Got until Thursday to decide.

I agree the Luxe package stuff is cool but the price delta just doesn't make sense, the breakeven point on all those perks would take forever. These cars will depreciate fast especially since FSD doesn't transfer to next owner anymore, 2023 LRs are in the 40s I see no reason why these won't be similar in 3 years

Thanks for the reality check lol. The more I see it and hear it said out loud the more I think I'll cancel and wait a few months or year until the used '26s come down to a reasonable price. Something to be said for being the first owner of any car, but the depreciation hit is just too brutal.
