Model S refresh Price increase

[Draketurner]

Phew was thinking about trading in my 21 LR+ for a facelift LR but considering the price I paid for my LR+ and the new price price of refresh I am a little happier now

the 2021 LR+'s are going for crazy high prices from what ive seen, might be able to trade for a refresh for little out of pocket

This seemed inevitable. The car is just a crazy good value in relation to the 50K more you’re paying for Plaid that…fundamentally has only a essentially a two feature difference (the 1 second better 0-60/& top speed).

While I LOVE the Plaid’s speed, I just can’t mentally justify the 50K for it…In that 0-60 in 3 seconds flat, for me, still feels quite fast and all the interior / exterior is essentially the same car, I think the price point was already quite good.

They’re backed up on delivery timeline cuz of demand for the refresh on the LR vs Plaid.

Suspect this is going to sell well, as exterior is beautiful/timeless/sexy and interior is just…miles better than before!

May be a problem if they pass the new tax credits with a $80 k cap on price.

So what more is included in the LR for that extra $5K?
Bueller? Bueller?

A higher profit margin for Tesla.

Tesla will correct the pricing if and when any tax credits come into the equation. That is how they have operated in the past.

I wonder if Tesla will give me a good trade in value, they are always super low

I doubt they will, but Carvana, Vroom, Carmax, FB marketplace are all decent options.

Clearly Tesla is anticipating renewed govt. rebates to keep the price somewhat competitive because they are over-pricing vs alternatives.

I don’t think anyone at Tesla is stupid enough to rely on the government doing something to dictate pricing.

They will be reactionary *if* something gets passed.

Reactionary in what way? To increase the price further?

As in, a Fed tax credit that applies to Tesla vehicles of $7,500 gets passed, Tesla then jacks the price to $87,500 (or $92,500).

That is correct.

Last time the credits were being phased out, Tesla lowered all prices in line. I expect with supply and demand being what it is, they will simply raise prices if the credit materializes (which I do not expect it will).
