You are probably right. Right now they are trying to reduce the MY inventory and as they get sold quickly the incentives disappear. It was kinda crazy when I bought mine in last week of Jan 2024 the brand new MYLR was 38500 down from 50k after the 5k rebate and 7.5K federal credit. I checked at one of the local dealers who was trying to sell a 2022 MYLR with 16000 miles for 42K! I told them good luck with that!
same here at LA, besides I took a demo drive today and the sales there would be be $2-3k increases in March. Not sure if he is referring to the original price and he won't tell me anyway.
Please be assured these people have ZERO non-public info on future pricing and their only job is to get you to buy a car today.
That doesn't mean that they won't discount tomorrow or even before the end of the hour for that matter. Nobody knows.
So a sales person told you prices were going up next month to motivate you to buy now? Surely no sales person has ever thought to use a tactic like that before.
no I am not saying I would buy it now. My program limits me to be buying by the end of March so my decision is between buying the end of Feb or the end of March, and I would still choose to wait till the end of March.That doesn't mean that they won't discount tomorrow or even before the end of the hour for that matter. Nobody knows.

Technically they are not sales people since Tesla has no dealership and the guys at service center do not get paid for selling a car. You buy it online and there are no middlemen! So the guy may be right! Prices may actually go up since all other manufacturers are crying foul!That doesn't mean that they won't discount tomorrow or even before the end of the hour for that matter. Nobody knows.

Unlikely. But with Tesla you never know. You gotta strike when its hot with Tesla.
I would expect prices to stay as is in February. Also, I would expect prices to drop to early January level in March. ~$1,500 less than today.
Lol, that's quite the interesting spin. They are literally called "Sales Advisors" and their actual job is to sell cars. But they're not technically sales people?
It's "unlikely" that Tesla will reduce prices or otherwise incentivize sales at the end of a quarter?
I had a 2024 MYP on order for Feb/March delivery and kept getting messages to get my Y faster by taking delivery on inventory models instead around the last week of January. I looked and couldn't believe my eyes when I saw that MYLR in my area were 10% off. So I switched my order to a MYLR that was $52,990 MSRP and which came with a $5,300 discount instead. Also, I got it with the $7,500 Federal incentive PLUS qualified for my local state of MA's $3,500 incentive as well since the car was under $55,000 MSPR (which my original MYP exceeded and wouldn't have qualified for). That's a massive $16,300 discount when all was said and done! So I paid $36,690 before destination, taxes and fees. Absolutely insane!
