March 2023 Price Cuts?

[Beta V]

I haven't pulled the trigger on a new 2023 Model X. I optimized the configuration for range over (insane) acceleration but opted to forgo the $15,000 FSD package.
But. My negotiations have moved to the "Customer Loyalty Team" in Fremont where they offered me a modest price for my current 2017 MX without ever seeing it. They said that the "base" offer would expire at the end of February. They also said (on a recorded line) that the offer could increase once they evaluate the vehicle and described that process as submitting a set of six pictures. It's tempting. But why Feb 28th? I noticed that Mr. Musk is planning to make a big announcement on March 1, 2023, on Investor's Day. Could this include further MX price cuts?
And yes, they offered the $3000 with your trade or 3 years of free supercharging. But I put the numbers into a spreadsheet and figured how much extra sales tax (ours here in Washington State is 10%) I would have to pay if I didn't do the trade-in deal. I would have to add that to the price I would need to break even with a private sale.
I hate to get locked into a deal only to walk away from another 10% price cut days later. Now I know why I don't like to buy cars. Especially since they cost as much as the first two homes we bought--combined.

If prices go down on Model X/S I may buy one. Going to take a Demo in one tomorrow. Had a Model 3 a few years ago and sold it due to major issues with the company ,but willing to give it another go.

Unfortunate you didn't include MX in the title. There certainly won't be price cuts in Mar for the MY, a large percentage of readers...

I think they are offering deals for the existing inventory for MX? I haven't seen any forum postings for deliveries of MX in the last few weeks. HW4? HAs anyone received a Late Jan or Feb build MX?

The MX is still way overpriced. So much so that inventory vehicles are currently priced $10K less than new.

Also, don’t let Tesla handle your trade. Sell privately or to any other 3rd party. You’re basically throwing money away.

Once the Feds increased the MY rebate cap tp $80k,
Tesla has zero incentive to lower prices this year.

Current MY backlog is now Apr-Jun.
On the contrary, expect prices to rise until the demand slows.

It would seem to be much less likely that Tesla will reduce the prices - but an announcement of new hardware? Now that is possible. Note that the discounts are on existing inventory only (if I'm correct).

Can someone define "existing inventory?" I don't recall seeing that term used in the negotiations. Does it mean unsold cars all over the country gathering dust.

You don't get to order one - it needs to be in stock, which they seem to be trying to do more. At least that's how I understand it anyway.

looks like the price has just dropped again.

Price cuts are shown in this tweet and confirmed on the official on the order page.

Here is a recap of Model X prices going back to January 2021 when the refresh was introduced.

Not true. Tesla paid me more than any other car buyer last year plus I had a tax incentive. You should say compare prices and not assume someone will be better or worse than others. I could have sold a bit more private party which could have taken who knows how long. Then you have to deal with idiots and low offers. Trade and done and missed out on a couple grand. Whoopdeedoo. I’ll throw that money away all day long. My time and aggregation is worth money.
