    There was a time in the past where I would have jumped at something like this...

    Ordered an S to be delivered this week. Any experience in getting them to drop price before I take delivery?

    Just my luck. My 7 day return window expired yesterday. Anyone get Tesla to get a price drop for a car just recently purchased?

    Your SA should be able to do the price adjustment, you just need to send an email or text.
    That was my experience buying a model 3 in April of 2019

    If you haven't taken delivery, taking advantage of the price reduction should be very simple. When it happened to the Model Y, my understanding is people just reached out to their sales associates and requested the price reduction. Don't take delivery until the price is corrected.

    I’d also take free supercharging over the 3k.. but like the idea of applying it to FSD

    I would definitely take the $3k and run. I can't see too many people using more than $3k worth of supercharging over the life of their car. Heck, I've only spent $109.64 in the 1 year I've had the car, and that includes several road trips. All in all, about 10% of my kwh come from supercharging. If I ONLY supercharged and never used a destination charger, I'd be at just over $1k in supercharging costs in a year, which would take me ~3 years to break even with usage remaining the same.

    As for FSD - I'd pay for it when it gets here. :)

    Interesting that Tesla has a bunch of used cars that are more expensive than new.
    2019 Model S | Tesla
    I think Tesla offering a smaller battery pack for $10K less would do more to increase demand.

    Take out the FSD and it drops further down to 66,300 which is a good price if it is a Raven.

    To think that a model S was way above $100K a few years back! At this rate, the S will be $65K a few years from now. Maybe I'll replace the 3 with an S in a few years. It's such a great grand tourer. Now, if Elon could add storage in the door, it'd be perfect.

    The price might increase when they release the revised S.

    If a used Tesla shows FSD you can ask them to remove FSD to lower the price?

    If it's currently reflected on their website, they should honor this at pickup.

    Call your sales consultant and have it updated to play it safe.

    Congrats!

    I agree — I'd take the $3000 and give up free supercharging. I've Supercharged my car more than 458 times, so I use FUSC a lot, but $3000 will pay for a LOT of Supercharging.

    This new price is roughly what my S-60 cost when new in 2014 (I bought it used in 2016). That's an amazing price drop/performance increase in just six years. Tesla's car pricing is more like a tech product than traditional autos.

    Maybe a model change is coming?

    Q4 2021 the only S will be Plaid, current LR and P get replaced by a new model/body style.
