I have a feeling that Elon and Tesla are thinking that Model S sales might be dropping off due to potential Model S buyers waiting for the Model 3.
Honestly, I believe that people who can afford Model S's are unfortunately dwindling or that Tesla EV market is saturated. I'm surprised that so many people have been able to afford a Model S which shows you how much I know.
I believe its a coincidence that the Model S sales might be retreating "at the same time" that the Model S customer base that can afford the car is saturated "at the same time" that the Model 3 version is being birthed.
I look at it this way. I believe that the birth of the Model 3 is a true blessing in that it allows for a Tesla customer base to be able to afford a Tesla without "financially" over-extending themselves. I believe there are potential Model S buyers that will now not buy a Model S because the cost of the Model S would put them right over the edge of what they can afford - all due to a less optioned ( so what ) Tesla being available soon.
Lastly...I don't understand why Elon seems to be thinking that its just a matter of choice to buy a Model 3 vs a Model S. Elon...I hope you aren't now that disconnected from society to know what regular people can or can't afford.
A lot of people who buy cars buy the ones they do based on what they can afford...and sometimes a little above what they can afford. Billionaires can select what they want without cost in mind. Most people aren't billionaires. I believe many model 3 reservationists would love to have a model S ( many wont for various reasons ), however they can't responsibly afford one....hence their model 3 reservation. That's my position right now. I would love to have a Model S, however I think for me it would be more financially feasible for me to get the "all buttons checked" model 3....while having full knowledge that the Model S has many more options.
Elon...for me Its a financial choice not a "desire choice".
