I don't understand why everybody's still complaining about this. Like Elon said, if they raise the price of the car next week, does everybody who bought it last week start sending checks to Tesla to cover the price increase?
You bought something that you think its worth a certain amount to you. Why would you buy it if you don't think it's worth it? And you bought it already knowing Tesla makes price corrections all the time. So you knowing the price is inflated. Then why do you still (or any buyer for that matter) buy it. If nobody's buying these cars at these inflated prices. Then Tesla will go out of business. Obviously, somebody thinks it's worth it, and hence the transaction happens.
If we're buying them at $70k this year, and next year, Tesla figured a way to make the car for $50k, and decide to sell it for $55k. Is the $70k now an inflated price. Then people will continue to complain about the $70k already inflated. it's never going to end.
Again, I think it's a moment in time, when you think it's worth it, buy it. Anytime, it's not worth the value you're given. I (or anybody) would not be buying it. Nobody is pressuring anybody to buy these vehicles.
I'm buying it because I see value (even if inflated), yes, that's how my decision was made, not because somebody told me to buy it, nor did somebody pressure me. I did the research, it was the best car for my $$ for what I want out of the car. Decision made. Move on. I lost money on the car, of course, but I enjoy my time with it and even if it's $0 today. I would be annoyed at myself for not seeing this inflated price and be mad. Then I would move on to another brand, but now the problem lies. Other brands don't have what I need or want. So I'm back looking at a Model X again, and have to give Tesla my $$ because it has a value that I agree with.
Not a fan boy talking, but being realistic, I mean if I buy an EQS SUV today, and next year it drops $20k, but if it continues to offer me what I want and thus creating a value figure for me. I would buy it again. I would bemoan about it in the MB forums of course.
