For careful observers Tesla has once again slightly lowered their prices.
After dropping 7000+ Euros off of their cars in Germany recent weeks seem to have shown a trend of lowering options on the Tesla here in the USA. I for one am wondering where this is going:
1) First the parcel shelf went from a paid option to one included for free
2) Then today the following seems to have happened: Dual Chargers went from $2500 to now $1500
The wall connector is now $1200 - didn't it use to be $1500?
3) Smart Air suspension dropped from $2500 to $2250
4) Premium interior lighting - it's now $1000 wasn't it $1500 at one point?
While I think it's great for people who ordered their cars and expected them in late Sept to now being told it'll be August. These seem to be signs that demand is indeed slowing and Tesla is slowly backing down their prices. I suspect we'll see a move in the base price of the Model S in order for them to increase demand. The question is when and what will this do to existing vehicles residuals?
Your thoughts?
