It’s Fri the 13 for all of us who bought last year. I sold my 22 Y to my brother for 60k and bought a 3 performance 2 weeks ago. I feel like I was just scammed by Tesla. If they don’t make this right I can never own another Tesla going forward. I know it’s only money but it’s the principal.

It's true that Tesla has volatile pricing, but some of the pricing adjustments for the other car dealers is hidden behind the veil of dealerships. This will probably accentuate the drop of those dealer markups that have been seen in other EVs.
Ignore that guy you responded to, he's just trolling
I checked multiple metro areas. All MYLR under $55k are gone, but many above $55k are available.
To take full advantage of the tax credit as a single person you need to make at least ~$65,000, but less than $150,000.
The tax credit has a lot more effect than I imagined it would.

Ouch, I saw a photo of a dealer with several on their lots (maybe a Ford dealer?). That is going to sting...hopefully the "market correction pricing" on their other vehicles they have been charging will make up for it lol.
I think they have a pretty good luck
RAV4 is still hard to find and prices are jacked up ridiculously. Let alone getting the prime
You can pre-order new prius and eta is sometime next year. No thanks, I will take Tesla today and drive tomorrow.

As a Canadian buyer, I've never seen a price reduction/increase of 20% over night outside of the stock markets. Most companies give a *sugar* about their customers and brand image.......so trying to downplay it as a regular business practice is bullshit

I tend to agree FSD isn't going to be given away any time soon. BUT, almost nothing on the planet has a zero change of change
As a really old guy, I remember, people saying automatic transmission will never be included for free, GPS will never be included for free, etc etc. So, some day in the future FSD type features will probably be included for free, yet sure, I don't see it coming soon. Maybe I'll be dead by then.

You could try blaming the people who (wisely) were not buying Model Ys at $66k. Tesla has to sell cars. People weren't buying them at the price on offer. The market has spoken, Tesla's choice is adapt or die.
Right, because Ford can't make anywhere near enough of them to satisfy demand. Tesla can crank out a million Model Ys a year. That said, Ford and others are going to have to respond somehow as they're going to lose a lot of orders to people who can now walk out and get a Model Y for a better price within a month or so.
This is but the first shot. More to come. Your opinion here seems to be that Tesla voluntarily drastically reduced their prices and profits to stick it to you and the rest of the unfortunates that bought at historic highs. Say that out loud. Do you hear how it sounds?

You're exactly right, I was referencing short term change only.I tend to agree FSD isn't going to be given away any time soon. BUT, almost nothing on the planet has a zero change of change
I don’t want to laugh rn, although I did put a lot down.I'd be more worried about the interest.

Acting decisively and all at once was their only realistic option. If buyers get used to a slow trickle of price decreases, everyone sits on the sidelines and waits for the next one. Tesla needs to sell cars now.
Yeah that called a company that built decades of goodwill so people want their products and trust them.
Races to the bottom on price never work so their luck has shifted. It’s not going to drive anyone meaningful out of business and now there’s 800k new Tesla owners who will be buying from elsewhere in the future.

Good call! Better from a risk perspective to have your own money evaporate than money you owe someone else.

They removed USS and are passing on the savings
but only for new customers.Silly comparison. We're taking about a very large purchase you make once ever 3-5 years, maybe more. And a price cut that is rather unprecedented in the auto industry for both its steepness and abruptness. Tesla gets the benefits of direct and online sales without having to provide any of the payment options (credit card that many have price drop protections on) or customer-friendly policies.
Old Tweet but I'm assuming Elon's stance on the price matching hasn't changed...
