Planning on ordering MYP once 2024s start coming out. Would love a bigger discount on top of Colorado incentives. And maybe some interior updates. Can’t wait to get one regardless

 

[explosive0]

Yikes!

Not totally surprising, up until the last week of the quarter, discounts on inventory cars of $2-4k was pretty readily available.

Now with the FSD transfer promotion over, I wouldn't be surprised to see that they either need to reinstate that or drop prices further.

Price drop today on Model Y's and 3's

• Model Y RWD is still $43,990
• Model Y Long Range: $48,490 (from $50,490)
• Model Y Performance: $52,490 (from $54,490)

I don't want to excuse people of huffing glue, but I cannot think of any reason other than that which would make a person buy the RWD over the LR Model Y at these price differences . I did say I didn't think we'd see a Y at $40k, but possibly the RWD could see a price low like that, so maybe it turns out tesla starts inventorying the Y RWD at very aggressive prices.

Model 3 base price is now $38,990, too!

@GenSao -- thanks very much for mainting that project.

It looks like after experimenting with prices, Tesla has settled on those prices (@EatsShoots above) and no discounts this morning. How long will it last? I admit I'm happy, got my LR for $3k less than now.

As per title. Tesla has lowered the MYLR and MYP to an all time low in the US. MY RWD still the lowest of course but that price had no changed unsurprisingly.

Need to drop model x to 70k

 

[cdub]

I'm glad they're lowering prices so more people can get them.

It's the same price now as the inventory discount I got 2 weeks ago.

But lowering prices implies demand is lower?

Oh it’s coming buddy, it’s coming.

Sold my 40k miles 2022 MYP couple of weeks back and very happy about it. EV market is entering its discount phase.

Interesting that they dropped the prices by $2k on the LR and P but removed inventory discounts. There was an inventory LR in CO for $46,490 yesterday, now it's $48,490. I'm sure it won't be long until they go back to offering inventory discounts.

 

[pamonay]

ordered my model Y LR May 2022, when price was at its peak. ($66K) ... wonder if there'd be any way for me to take advantage of these price cuts. (perhaps trade-in + re-order or maybe sell privately, idk) .... any advice would be welcomed.

Pulled the trigger on 23 MYLR for $44,400. There are several MY Standard Range for $43,800 but they are 200 miles away and did not want to travel. Maybe the best part is Carvana is paying me $40,300 for 2021 MYLR. Over $5000 more than CarMax. That sealed the deal for me.

How did you get it that low? My area is still around 46 ish.

I think inventory had some heavy discounts in the last month of Q3 as Tesla was missing delivery expectations I think.

@pipestem No problem.

@ColMan Probably to encourage orders vs. people shopping for inventory. I imagine inventory discounts may back & stronger near the end of the quarter.

Depends on whether your state allows for taxes on the difference. I thought about this too but we in California get to pay taxes on the entire purchase. If you qualify for the Federal tax credit, then maybe it might make sense. Lots of factors involved.

I'll take a stab. I can charge the SR Y to 100% if it's LFP vs 80% on LR (conflicting info from rep today)
This guy did a better job with real world difference Model Y standard range battery LFP?

That being said if inventory discounts were on no options model LR Y I would be all over it. Most here had a lot of options/colors discounted.
