Discussion: Model 3 and Y price drop Jan 2023 / April 2023 / Oct 2023 and All other Pricing Speculation going forward

I understand they have to sell stuff, but this has to hurt brand loyalty long-term, right?

Why? Prices change all the time.

People have been getting shafted like this by manufacturers and dealers for a hundred years. It’s just been way less transparent so nobody knew they were supposed to be pissed.

Plenty of people bought other cars with big dealer markups due to scarcity, has that hurt Ford/Hyundai/etc brand loyalty?

Guess you didn't get screwed over then lol, easy to say that when you're not the one shorted 5 figures on a car that is only a few weeks to a few months old.

Dealer markup is different from MSRP price changes.

Tesla didn’t tank the economy. They’re just responding the only way they can.

I get you’re mad, just think a bit about who you’re mad at.

I disagree. Savvy buyers have always been able to research what “invoice” is for their particular build and use it in negotiations with dealers as not to get shafted on MSRP. Invoice may go up and down between model years but doesn’t drop 20% overnight.

Well, also according to Tesla's website, used Tesla prices have not fallen and are now more expensive than new... I'm more interested to see when a 1 or 2 year old model Y drops into the high $30s. Maybe price adjustments on used vehicles coming tomorrow .

High 30s for a used Y would be awesome. (For buyers)

Tesla ultimately chose to change the price. Now the consumers are bearing the loss in value due to a whim change. They could have introduced an MYSR under the 55k and not screwed over the market, but they didn't. The blame is 100% on Tesla.

A brand new December bought model Y right now valued in the 30's (probably). Literally half the value of one month ago.

Any guess on what kind of mad rush this is going to create?

This is not even end of quarter. What will they do in March?

Yup, they should sit on endless inventory nobody is buying and go out of business to avoid hurting the feelings of recent buyers.

Shake their magic 8 ball: increases prices? Yes / no!?

Or software limit those already produced to an SR to qualify it for Tax Credit, allow range purchase to make it LR. Simple as. Done it in the past.

What happens to existing orders awaiting delivery at the higher price? Do you get the price difference credit?

How do you know. I get a VIN three days ago and my order page still shows old price.
