I think Tesla does in fact plan on lowering the price of the LRAWD to remain competitive in 2023. The problem is, they can't do it now for 2 reasons. Reason #1, any existing order not yet delivered would have to be delivered at the new lower price, creating major $ loss for Tesla. Reason #2, if people with open orders knew for sure that the LRAWD would qualify for the rebate in 2023 with a new lower price, most would either try to delay their deliveries or cancel their order. By closing orders and not lowering prices now, they are insuring that the open orders are fulfilled and not cancelled or delayed.We DONT know what the RWD demand was only that the wait time was longer. The LR seems to have been the more popular model overall. This is all speculation obviously. However, I can't find a good reason for tesla to lower the price unless there is something I am missing. Also prices rarely drop when demand is high. If tesla did that it's going to p.o. a lot of people. Might even lead to cancellations if someone is in the queue come Jan 1st. I just can't seem to figure out what the benefit of lowering prices would be to tesla.
