Model S Long Range now $5,000 cheaper

[iqless]

It really is amazing. I've been periodically going in and customizing what I'd order now over the past several months. Now, a Raven Long Range optioned out like I want it, is $20,000 less than my 2015 85D that I bought 4 years ago. With 100 more miles of range, FSD capable, etc.

I think everyone for their own mental health should decide not to check the forums or price changes for at least 6 months post-order.

Exactly what I did after I bought my 85D originally.

Only came back because I'm looking to buy a new one. I will be gone after then.

Amazing. Long range is now cheaper than my 70D was in 2015, even though it now has air suspension and the better audio system and various other goodies that were extra then. But if only there was a sunroof option....

It is amazing - my Performance L was $5000 more than I paid for my 85D in July 2015, while the long range would have been much less.

YES! Lack of the opening pano roof is pretty close to a deal killer for me.

Do you have the 7 day return option on your order?

I think so, but it's irrelevant now. They just switched me to the new "price book" as they call it. So I'm getting new price and it's already reflected in the account. I think if the option mix was different I wouldn't be able to get old options, but this time around everything else is the same. So I just got $5,000 price reduction. Lucky timing...

Yep, it's kind of ridiculous now.

I had put money down for a used P100DL, but they just effectively lowered the base price for that from $116,000 to $99,000. Not the same deal any more.

Like for example they're selling a P100DL with 35,000 miles on it and no options (with the pearl white color too, which is now the basic color) for $92,800. You can get a new one for $99,000.... so 2 years and 35,000 miles later the depreciation is only 7 percent? Sure thing.

The prices should adjust to be more appropriate for the used marking, but it's a slower beast than the new market.

Tesla just wants to make sure that they lose a record amount in Q3. Their plan is obviously to make up the loss on each unit with increased volume.

Why aren’t the used vehicles getting cheaper? It only makes sense that would happen, but I find many things don’t makes a lot of sense here.

Yes, because when you multiply negative numbers eventually you get a positive number if you multiply hard enough

Sounds like they want to boost sales volume of the Model S and X.....

More likely just prop them up for a while in the absence of a refresh any time soon...

Model 3 price dropped significantly as well.

The demand must be crazy!

They are or at least they're going to have to. I have my P85DL up for sale and received a full price offer for it yesterday. This morning, on the way to the bank, the buyer called to tell me that I'd need to lower my price $10K to account for Tesla lowering their price on a P100DL $20K. I refused of course and the deal fell through. I can't fault the buyer. I would have done the same thing.

 

[Trunk Gap]

I struggle with the no sunroof thing now...same deal, almost a deal killer, but not.

My take, assuming Tesla itself hasn't gone crazy, is that they've simultaneously significantly increased their build capability and lowered their per unit cost.

I dropped 140k CAD for a non performance s100d 2 years ago. It is worth a fraction of that now. But, it is the best car I ever had by far and it helped the greater mission of EV transition.

It's comical to hear the current price complaints. After the federal tax credit and state rebates, my 2014 Model S Classic cost $91K out the door in 2014 dollars (roughly $98K in 2019 dollars). No air suspension, no upgraded audio system, no autopilot, no dual-motors, 1st gen seats, no summon capability, no sentry mode/dashcam, and only 265 miles of range (currently running about 258). I do have the pano roof, which I hardly ever open.

I still love the car. Quit 'yer bitchin'.

I bought a new Raven and got the $20,000 Ludicrous upgrade for free since I was an existing owner. Now Ludicrous is included but the price is $4,000 more. So, I still saved $4,000 instead of $20,000 by being an existing owner.

YES! Lack of the opening pano roof is pretty close to a deal killer for me.

We waited too long on our early S, so we missed the solid metal roof time-frame, which was actually the1st choice on our list - 2nd choice was vented roof that we ended up with, & lastly - we too found all glass as a deal breaker.

Don't forget, when you see an overpriced used Tesla, it need not be a head scratcher. That's the price that it's NOT selling for.

$120k out door (after fed tax credit) for 100D, FSD, pano/sunroof, just all the fixens June 2017, AP2. About 2 months prior to a 5k price drop and few months more for AP3. Big difference (for me) between AP 2 and 3: No dash cam, no Sentry mode, no lane departure assist, lane departure warning does not work (should it?), and I am sure a plethora of other bits I don’t/won’t get cause I am AP2.

So what. Luv the car. Happy to be able to participate as an early adopter. Maybe in 5 years I will trade it in (when it’s worth about $20k) just to help out and get the coolest car I ever had .... again. Saving my pennies now.

Actually it's an appreciating asset. Will be worth 250K+ by then.
