Did the Mid-range and Long-range prices dropped $2900??

Tesla sure lost me as a future customer. Way to screw early adopters. I’ll be looking at other manufactures and their EVs.

I do not understand this attitude that Tesla not be allowed to lower their costs as it will ultimately lower you resale, my first computer was a gateway with an awful CRT screen and a 4gb hard drive! cost me 5k, I am glad things have got better in pricing and capability since then!

 

[run-the-joules]

Right, but the tax credit before when it was that price was $7500 off. Now the tax credit is only $3750 so not really 6K cheaper. I would say around $2250 cheaper.

Don't forget that the cost of paint went up by $500 for anything other than black, and the delivery/doc fee went up $200.

Elon Musk on Twitter

"Everyone who bought Enhanced Autopilot will get Navigate on Autopilot on highways, advanced summon & autopark"

May not include any new or newer features. YGWYPF.

NOA is the most useless feature in real life California highway driving. Summon is cool, autopark not needed really.

It is a sting....

Couldn't use the tax credit.... So, my LR RWD which I bought in July 18 @ $59k can be bought now for 52.5K...

Ouch....

Price drop sucks. But other manufacturer EV is just so much worse than Tesla, specially Tesla has much lower energy consumption per mile (better efficiency), and MUCH MUCH better and easier to use DC charging in real world (supercharger). Tesla is still leading everyone in EV.

There is only 1 month left for that credit. Then it drops again.

Yes. Performance also dropped from $60,900 to $58,000. For those keeping track, that’s now $20,000 off the original $78,000 price.

When is Fred going to complain again?

I think the next tax credit will reduce on July 1st. It is a reduction every 6 months until it completely goes away.

July 1st it is cut in half again not April.

My issue with all this is I would still love to buy a used LR RWD, sellers are asking way more than you can buy a NEW 2019.
At least I dont have to hear the BS from sellers that they dont make the LR RWD anymore.

Listen, this is buying technology. It’s like the price of buying a flat panel.

We paid for their margins during production ramp up. Now that they are ramped up, they can bring those prices down and maintain margins.

Sucks but don’t check the price of your 1 year old flat screen.

Damn, I misunderstood the phase out. Thanks for correcting.

If I recall correctly, MR came out at a starting price of $45K which lasted for one week. It then went up to $46K. Early January the price dropped to $44K, then in February it dropped again to $42,900. Now today it has dropped again to $40K.

exactly, that's what I remember as well.

If my memory serve me correctly, the 264 mile Mid-range Model 3 base price was $42,900 before incentives, and now is $40,000 today.
The 310 mile dual motor Long-range Model 3 base price was $49,900 before incentives, and now is $47,000 today.

Can anyone confirm the old prices?

If that's the case, Model 3 has made massive price cuts this year. $2000 cuts in early Jan, $1100 just like a month ago, and now $2900. So total of $6000 price cut within 2 months!! Yes, you got $7500 tax credit last year, and now is only $3750 this year. But I would much rather take the $6000 cash saving.

Yes, and In CA, you pay 10% tax, that's another $6k. We really feel like we are screwed.

Prices come down as tax credit rolls out, and also as car matures. As early adopters we are only about 2-3k once you factor in tax credit. That is way less than seasonal swings and promotional pricing you get with traditional autos in this range.

I am excited for the price drops and the new wave of people switching to electric, truly a great moment!

Don't forget that the cost of paint went up by $500 for anything other than black, and the delivery/doc fee went up $200.

I bought my mid range blue for 47500 in December 2018. If I get today. it is $41500, $6000 off. In CA, we also pay 10% sales tax, that's additional $600. That is a lot drop within 3 months.

Now that is a bummer, hopefully having the car earlier takes away some of the sting. Would have been way better to wait for tax credit phase out in your case, assuming you knew you coudn't use it. My condolences!

Have fun going through the early adopter phase a second time with another manufacturer

Anyways, I bought at a poor time (45k base Mid Range), and I'm not really too annoyed by it. The old EAP package is nice to have (don't really want full self driving, but I do like the extra features I have / will have with current EAP). Still got the full tax credit. Honestly, I probably would have sprung for a LR RWD if I could do it all over again now, but oh well. I'm glad more people will experience a Tesla now.

Seriously, people need to lighten up. A Tesla is no different from buying any other early entry technology product. The used market is probably better suited for some.

I remember when I bought a Sammy 55” LED TV way back then for over $4K. Worth less now than it cost to throw it away probably, hah.
