Anyone buying without at least a $3500 discount from today’s $2k lower MSRP is overpaying and shouldn’t complain when, not if, the larger discounts return. Clearing out 45,000 extra cars plus probably another 45,000 this quarter will take lower prices. Plus the Fed is not lowering interest rates any time soon so all auto sales are slowing. Welcome to the real world of auto sales where too much inventory always leads to huge incentives.

Not to mention the sales tax impact too. Where I live it's just under 11%.
$5000 x 1.11% = $5,550.
(before the 2k drop today)
$5000 x 1.11% = $5,550.
(before the 2k drop today)
Everything they play games like this, our expectations should increase by $500 discount.
So expectations should be atleast $5.5k. Not $5k like it was a week ago.
Model Y and Model 3 in AWD version are “identical” in price now (the few hundred $ doesn’t really count). lol.
I don’t think they want to drop Model Y AWD pricing routinely below Model 3 AWD pricing? That’s gotta massively eat into margins…

'Pro-EV' New Jersey just OK'ed the US's highest dumb EV fee
New Jersey just signed a law approving a punitive new EV registration fee – and at $250, it's the highest in the country.

MY pricing has been better than M3 pricing for a while now. When I was shopping for end of quarter deals an MYP after tax credit was the same price as the RWD M3.

We have seen recent price drops, APR = 0.99%, and Long Range unlock on RWD MY
We also have seen that Tesla had its first 1Q sales drop in the history of Tesla making cars.
Additionally Tesla's are filling up services centers and even nearby shopping malls (I have seen them).
Conversely there is a known sales slump on ALL BEV's while ICE and HEV sales go up.
How likely is it Model Y will have additional price drops, or price down on some of its options, to stimulate sales? More SuperCharger miles, or longer free FSD?
Perhaps something in June to make 2Q look ok?

You can if you compare a refreshed and much better M3 versus a 3 year old MY.
Also possible better production efficiency with MY over M3
And then the $7500 tax discount impacts net price which only applies to MY and expensive M3 Performance.

We shall find out in the next 3 weeks. But I fear there's not going to be discounts the end of this quarter. Because they're reducing output instead to reduce inventory. (They'll probably offer just little freebies like premium connection, supercharger miles, etc.)
The China factory is reducing output by 20%. And they're doing it at American factories too, with the layoffs of thousands.

Tesla has significantly reduced production of its Model Y electric car at its Shanghai factory in recent months, as per industry data.

Geniuses in NJ. They'll get you one way or another. Trouble with this disincentive tax is that's it's roughly based on you driving about 12,000/yr. So people like me that are retired and driving much less will be grossly overpaying their "fair share".

I know China is mostly for Chinese and Europe, how many go to USA?We shall find out in the next 3 weeks. But I fear there's not going to be discounts the end of this quarter.

That is rather surprising, 20%, when China is becoming the fastest transitioning to BEV country.
Zero Chinese made Telsa's go to the USA to my knowledge.
Competition is fierce in China with lower cost alternatives to Tesla ; in the US those same Chinese brand EV's are heavily tariffed or banned so Telsa does not have the same level of price competition here.
The .99% offer in the US definitely seemed to have worked as a result for Q2 I think we will see excellent discounts in another 2 weeks on premade Y's in inventory sitting in lots ; but otherwise nothing on a build your own option. The inventory has dwindled and the factory has a backlog of new orders to fulfill I believe due to the .99 offer last month. In some areas the available Inventory options are no where close to what there was a few weeks back.
If one of those meet your needs I would wait until end of month.
If not for a deal if you missed out in May ; I think Q3 will be your answer.

Yeah, what Mr Reynolds said. My post was just referring to the fact that Tesla is reducing output at factories as needed. And we've seen that in America too with the thousands of layoffs at factories.
Not that any of China-made units come to America.
Yeah the .99% promotion seems to have done really well
