Model 3 price dropped by $500 [02.03.2023]

[Wahiawahi]

I just checked online, and Tesla dropped the price of the M3 by $500. I checked the app and my final price has been adjusted and is now $500 less than the cashiers check I have ready for pickup on Monday.
So they raised the price of the MY by another $1500 tonight, and dropped the price of the M3 by $500.
I’m not complaining…

I am surprised to see the Model 3 price drop. The Model Y price increase was to be expected.

Checked around 8:30pm when the price drop first happened, didn't see any adjustment to my final payment. Checked again at 10:40pm, now I see $500 less. Nice! More money for accessories lol

Performance still the same

My guess is that Tesla is clearing out inventory before announcing “Highland” refreshed 3 next month. Similar thing happened before the S refresh.

I think they will re-open the LR order book with the refreshed model next month.

Performance still the same

Performance is 1000 more than I paid for it a few weeks ago. That make me happy because i spent about 1000 to install(on my own) the wall charger, and buy some must have accessories. But its crazy how prices have been fluctuating. Its still the best value all electric around. This is my first EV and I looked at all the other ones around.
MachE cant even compete. Has more buttons inside (who cares) but you have to load it with features to have the same/less as a tesla and it ends up costing more. Also takes 6 months to get one unless you want to be gauged by the dealer. I noticed the battery life on the MachE sucks also and no were the support Tesla has for charging. In summary get a Tesla before they raise the price again .

This is my fear… buying a Tesla is the car buying version of gambling.

This really shouldn’t be a surprise at this point almost 6 years into the current version.

Tesla buyers are gamblers by nature. New experimental tech, variable pricing etc. but then one Gambles at the POS dealerships. buy a Ford that starts at 40000 and by the time you get nickel and dimed at the dealership and have a door type selected and cruise control and 2 3 or 4 cameras you pay more… than for a much better Tesla.
Dealer prices change often as well but who knows when they have 20 features you can mix and match which change the price by 15000

I orderdered 19th of Jan Before taxes same car loadup: MYP Red (red only addon). 1000 price increase. 60630 (was 1/19) 31630 (Just now)

 

[Travis64]

Oh ok thought this was about the 3

Seems applicable only to the RWD model which makes sense as there were loads of these in existing inventory for quite awhile. I cannot even see the current price for the long range as there are none at all whatsoever in existing inventory. Curious if this small discount will make a significant dent to the existing inventory for the RWD.

I paid my order fee Friday, just a couple hours before the $500 price drop. I pick up my Model 3 on Thursday. I contacted Tech Advisor today to get the final price for my loan and he's still quoting the original price. He won't give me a break down until after I have the loan information entered into Tesla's app, which I can't get without the break down. Did anyone who has taken delivery since Friday not get the $500 discount?

I paid my order fee for SR Model 3 Friday night before the price drop. I take delivery on Thursday. I have been unable to get a written break down from the Tech Advisor but he is quoting me the same price it was on my order. Was everyone able to get the $500 back if they had not accepted delivery yet?

I just picked mine up about an hour ago. I had the cashiers check already made out for the higher amount, so the SA said Tesla will mail me a refund check for the $500 in 6-8 weeks.

I got a new confirmation today for $500 less that looks like it was sent straight from Tesla. Local Tech Advisor still didn't know anything about it.

Anyone else get adjusted before delivery? im supposed to pick up tomorrow and getting conflicting messages from tesla.

@JD-TX I am also supposed to pick up mine soon and got a conflicting message from Tesla chat and SC. Any update on this matter?

I have a friend in SoCal with M3 RWD on order (ETA 2/18-2/25) and an assigned VIN. They asked the service center this morning about cost adjustment, Tesla responded: "we're awaiting an update from HQ on this one. We are unsure whether or not Tesla will be changing the pricing on existing orders at this time."
