Seems that way to me too.
It looks like that to me as well. I think end of July and August we will start seeing some on dealership lots unaccounted for.
I'm seeing GX's and LC's of all levels now available for immediate purchase. I've turned down 4 GX's, 1 1958 & 1 FE - still waiting for my LC to arrive but I could probably go find one if I were that motivated
Just to add, I was like 50th on a local dealer's wait list, this was the second Friday in a row he's called and offered me one. If I wasn't picky I'd have one on the way.
I was 27th on my waitlist, putting a deposit down on August 2023. I got my LC just over a week ago and my guy said they had already cleared the waitlist. I guess I was the most picky waitlister!
They had 10 on their website last time I looked a few days ago.

Yesterday my local dealer had one of each version in stock for immediate purchase. Heading there today to complete the purchase on my reserved unit.
When I was shopping hard I probably talked to 10 dealerships. Wasn’t going to pay a deposit but told them all what I was looking for and got told I was down the list and quoted crazy prices (all of which I said ok thanks anyway). Finally found the exact one I wanted for a reasonable price and got it in mid-May.
Last three weeks it’s been a nonstop barrage from probably 5 of those dealerships pushing models at or near MSRP. I’m thinking the quality hold issue being resolved plus the rush to get these “2024” models out the door before every other dealership is selling 2025’s has combined to make some LC (maybe not your color and model) available to almost anyone who wants one. Especially as the LC LC models flood out.

Two FL dealers I follow have 15 LCs each. One of the had a free raffle to win a chance to buy an LC back when the first allocations of them it. They are an MSRP only dealer. Today, I could walk in and take my pick I guess.
Is your dealer Sunnyvale? They called me yesterday with a couple they were selling at MSRP, poorly optioned though...

At Bay area, I too started getting calls from multiple dealers and some cases the markup went down to 1k with choice of my color.
Another guy even took a 5 minute "info session" to convince me that I am not going to get for MSRP in near future.
But, I am going to wait for my allocation which will arrive in 1-2 days at the port and 2-3 weeks later it will be ready for me to pickup.
