Have you looked at Tesla's inventory? They have a good bit of 2016/2017 MXs.Let us know how it goes. I'm also in the market but would be content with a late 2016 model with higher miles.
The Tesla algorithm responds to mouse clicks...more mouse clicks the less likely price will go down day after day, and may go up on a day. At least in my observations.
Sure speculation...but observation as well. I've seen vehicle's prices rise on particular vehicles when I click for pictures a couple times a day...does your web site update every hour or two to show fluctuations like that? Nope. Matter of fact it has an X on it that's been sold for two days now...so yes your data is valuable, but it's not the endall. My observational experience tells me an algorithm is at work here..plain and simple.That sounds like speculation. Do you have any backup for that claim? Or is it just "your observations"? Because you'd have to click a lot of links multiple times and then record the future price changes for those links, as well as all of the others you didn't click on as a control population.
From my observations in the data and watching price changes by the hour for several years, I highly doubt the pricing algorithm is based on mouse clicks.

Bet I can make a car price pop up 400 or 500 by clicking for pictures a bunch...but I'm not trying to steal someone's thread here ....Yup. At least every hour, or less.
When Tesla updates their prices, it's not for a handful of cars, it's usually across the board with hundreds of price changes applied all at once. It's simply a coincidence or confirmation bias that you're seeing. I'm equally as sure there are many cars you've clicked on that also have dropped in price, since drops in price are much more common then than increases, which typically only happen once per week. Whereas price drops happen constantly. But you only "notice" the price increases since that validates your belief.
The algorithm is pretty much Tesla incrementally drops the price of their fleet by $100 to $500 for between one week and two weeks, and the cars that don't sell, get a big increase in price and the process repeats. It creates a very visible saw-tooth pattern in the price charts.
Ok, I'm open to testing this theory if you can layout exactly what you think you're doing to raise the price, and over what time period.
New cars or used cars or either? You say click "on the photos".. what does that mean, exactly?
It's interesting they would increase the price rather than continue to decrease till someone bites. They must think they are creating value by increasing it and starting the price drops all over again. Tools like yours uncover the BS in their pricing games by plotting the price history.The algorithm is pretty much Tesla incrementally drops the price of their fleet by $100 to $500 for between one week and two weeks, and the cars that don't sell, get a big increase in price and the process repeats.

Big fan of your site . i use ev-cpo for my research . I'm very curious of one particular trend and criteriaI agree that lowering the price slightly upon interest would be an easy way to trigger a sale.
Thank you ! yes , I meant anomalies from the Tesla site .Well, that's what the data from Tesla said, and the proof is below!
But they've just corrected it back to a more reasonable $49,800.
As far as pricing anomalies from Tesla, only they can answer that.
As any good data computer scientist would say, "Garbage In, Garbage Out".
