I wonder if these versions would qualify for the $2000 performance boost?
Even so, the range would likely dip further...
oh wait, these do!

My guess is they know folks will buy them bc they worry about the tax credit. Why not option it out and increase margins?
I also have a feeling that in a few short months, these 4160 SRs will have a decent price drop. Just my guess - not based on anything at all

what are these "weird" battery types i've never heard of??My guess is they know folks will buy them bc they worry about the tax credit. Why not option it out and increase margins?

I think it's a huge risk to assume any upcoming price drops or end of quarter push. Musk said orders are coming in at double their production rates and current orders are potentially getting delivered in May. Price increases seem much more likely, especially once they are no longer able to deliver before the tax break deadline (expected to be sometime in March)..I also have a feeling that in a few short months, these 4160 SRs will have a decent price drop.

Perhaps I should revise my prediction that the there will be a larger price difference between the LR and these cars. Right now, it doesn’t make much sense that less range and slower is so close in cost to LR. It’s only bc folks will panic and purchase to capture the tax credit that they are selling at the current price tag and in relation to LR.
FYI, the MY now qualifies for price ceiling of $80,000.00.
I'd expect Elon to start to raise the prices above the $55,000 line.
They dumped 320+ yesterday. Now numbers at ~219. Sold 100 in less than 24hrs.
Note that most of these are coming soon so aren't at the delivery centres yet.
I wonder what their rationale is to build these units instead of the backlog of LR orders, especially with the uncertainty of the tax credit getting slashed.
I'd guess the 4680 may have its own separate line as it is using different building blocks like structural battery pack and front and rear castings. So maybe it isn't a line they change back and forth between the 2170 cars?? Just a guess.

I do not beleive the 4680's offer the end user any benefits, at least not in the current iteration. It is basically the same chemistry and that is the limiting factor. There are many advantages to Tesla as it should be cheaper to build. but not better for us unless Tesla passes the savings to us. This is similar to asking how a AA battery is better than a AAA.

Looks like that will not be the case as the usable size of the pack is approx. 67.6 kWh and the actual size less than 72 kWh, max charging so far on one owners car at a SC is not reaching 250 so charging not quite up to the 2170.
till now look like they not even build it yet , my order from Feb 8 and EDD Feb 27- march 17 but they removed EDD , now TBD
