Musk wanted Tesla to sell like Apple. But as things turned out they are selling like, well, any other automaker... I'm surprised that Musk doesn't know what's going on here. People are getting discounts hand over fist. Tesla folks took Elon's email way seriously (make and sell every car you can). What would have been their other option? Spare capacity? This totally sucks but the harsh reality is becoming to be that Tesla is just another automaker/dealer, not another Apple.
I guess that depends on your definition of "small"I wonder if the discounts on the inventory cars that appeared to be fresh from the factory were OK or not. Because if they weren't it seems like it might not be limited to a "small number of cases."
@dha Sorry about that. For some reason, @Drivin, along with a number of long time lurkers are disliking everything I post. If I said "The weather today is good", he/she would likely dislike the post lol.Apple most certainly does sell CPO devices. The section of the Apple website is called "Special Deals". No idea what you're talking about.
Refurbished and Clearance iPad, Mac, and Apple TV - Apple
Anyhoo,at least it looks like it could be a good quarter
This is likely to be the best quarter ever in Tesla history thanks in large part to your efforts.
I picked up my 90D at the factory yesterday afternoon. Before recapping the delivery experience, I want to thank SoCalJimmy for starting this thread and his very responsive OA who found me a car at 7am on a Saturday morning. While in theory I was getting one of the demo vehicles in turn for the significant discount, I ended up with a new vehicle just out of the factory with 15 miles on the odometer. Frankly, the combination of the significant discount and the 2 year lease offer pushed me over the fence to get a Tesla.
Apple has 18% of the smart phone market and falling.
If Apple needed to raise its market share 5% it would also need to discount its product
But Apple has $250B in cash and cash equivalents and has zero need to raise capital and has nothing to prove to Wall Street in the short term.
My thoughts exactly! The million dollar question...which metric?Yeah, right? This line sticks out:
By what metric? Q3 will obviously dwarf the previous delivery record which currently stands at 17,400 (Q4 2015).
Meanwhile, EPS record stands at $0.12 / $0.20 (GAAP / Non-GAAP). Those numbers are both well above current consensus estimates.
Discount on CPO and floor models only? Doubt it. It is an issue if Elon is not aware of these while everyone else knows.

While I like the response, I can't help but feel disappointed because once again Elon/Tesla is showing they are not on top of their execution.
In particular, Elon sent an email to the whole company telling them deliver every car possible. The sales team thought they were doing exactly that, and now Elon is telling them it's wrong.
I guess that depends on your definition of "small"
He may classify many of those inventory cars as 'floor models' if they were used for stuff like test drives. Which seems fair.
The letter specifically states not to sell a car rolling straight out of the factory at a discount, which is no different than what we knew.

My guess is 2-300 cars (probably 75's) got delivered to US customers from the factory at discount even though they were essentially brand new. ~1% of world-wide quarter deliveries. I guess that is small.He may classify many of those inventory cars as 'floor models' if they were used for stuff like test drives. Which seems fair.
