It’s clear from reading the bulk of these posts that Tesla isn’t a car company so much as a cult of idiots parroting Elon. It’s seems that to the majority no price drop would be too much because of the great wisdom they’ve acquired that prices change over time.
I have no issue with Tesla and the price drops, because it all just seem natural to me, though I do wonder if my $11K gamble on EAP+FSD will ever be fully-realized. You can only do so much with software updates, so who knows if they'll eventually find out that to achieve their full FSD vision that they'll need 26 cameras, a new type of radar, a significantly faster CPU, and a flux capacitor -- and decide that they can't upgrade older cars with the hardware.
My P3D- stickered at $75k (before taxes, destination, etc.). The exact same configuration today (based on this thread) would be $57k.
Granted, I got the full $7500 federal tax credit, the $2500 California rebate (which I'm no longer eligible for... blast that rebate limit ), unlimited free data, unlimited free Supercharging, and $900 in subsidy from various local entities but that still leaves a little left over... which was completely made up for in YouTube revenue in the 10 months since I took delivery. I may have paid a silly amount of money for this car, but I can't complain.
There is an argument to be made for price stability and estimating future depreciated value, but how much that matters depends on your specific case and what your plans are when making the purchase.
Yep, you are right. You should have insisted on a guarantee that the price of the car would NEVER change until the day you sold yours. Why didn't you?It’s clear from reading the bulk of these posts that Tesla isn’t a car company so much as a cult of idiots parroting Elon.

YupYeah just like boats
If you're trading in your Tesla for another Tesla how does a price drop on Teslas cost you money?Literally this past weekend, we were talking about trading in the GFs AWD 3 when the Y comes out as having one SUV makes sense, and my 3 has FUSC. But then this happened. Now she lost thousands of dollars on resale, that will be a real loss a year from now, and we are afraid to buy a Y as we do not want to go through this pain again. That perspective may change.

Ouch good call on my point there . Fair enough on that point. I was thinking if we bought a non Tesla got hit by it, but good point other points still stand!If you're trading in your Tesla for another Tesla how does a price drop on Teslas cost you money?
Seems like it will save you money on taxes...
Is there some new economic theory out there that says that sales drop when you lower prices?
