Model Y price change?

[Electroman]

So I saw this thread here titled, "Huge price increase in Model Y" and it turns out the poster was mistaken by going to Canadian website. Anyway that got me intrigued and I logged into my Tesla account and saw my configuration and price:

But then I went into edit mode to see what new options i can select, but there was none that was interest to me. So instead of cancelling the edit, I simply chose the same options I had earlier and saved it. Lo and behold the price for the same identical configuration is now... tada... :

a $2500 decrease ? Could that be true? or are my eyes deceiving me?

Configuring the same car from scratch shows $51k for me. Check your original confirmation email, was it $53,500 originally?

 

[Cirrus MS100D]

Quick! Order a second one to be sure!

FWIW, when I configure like yours, it shows $51,000 today, Jan 18, 2020.

I believe the price did go down from the original (except fsd?). I did the same something like 6 months ago.

Maybe they lowered the price now that the tax rebates are gone.

Tesla is unlikely to lower the price $2,500 to compensate for the loss of an $1,875 tax credit. More likely some other explanation.

The original email on 3/15/2019 does not have the final price, except that it confirms that I paid $2500 as deposit.

Model Y was expected to start deliveries this year only, so it was well understood that tax credit would have long expired before the first Y is sold.

Any chance “include potential savings” is now selected?

No change of price for mine (White AWD with FSD) but I ordered 2 months ago only.

Note:I now realize that I’ll have to bring the price down a notch in order to benefit from the new $5k credit in New Jersey (car has to be 55k or less).

 

[Tyler34]

They give you autopilot for free now. That is where the price difference is.

 

[WarpedOne]

Obviously there is no demand for Y and they had to lower prices ....

 

[Shayne]

possibly 51000 now + 2500 already paid deposit = Orig 53500?

LOL...I'm rolling on the floor on this one. They are just giving you credit for the 2500.00 you already paid. But nice thought, now back to reality.

Why not? They’ve lowered pricing after every other tax credit expiration.

The price was lowered when they make white the base color, if you configured a white car.
That was a few months ago, I checked and now is no difference compared to then. Actually increased 1000 if you have FSD.

Hmmm... that cannot be true. It clearly says "Car price", not "Balance owed". One thing though, I was incorrect in stating that this included the destination charges. Also remember you cannot have one price for the those who reserved on day one and a lower price for folks reserving now.

This is what I see in the details now:

 

[VeganDiver]

Same thing happened to me (price lowered) it's because when I originally configured (July), base price was $49k. White was something like $1k, autopilot was $3k. Around August they dropped the price to $48k base, white and autopilot were included. So mine went from $53k to $48k for the same car.

The price went down long time ago, several months... This was related to model 3 price drop, but they delayed Y pricing change by a few months after that.

When the fall for Y price happened, it was immediately communicated in multiple threads on TMC, I updated my order back then.

Thank you. That explains.

One would think Tesla will automatically update the current reservation holders with their new purchase price.
