I'm under the impression that Tesla's margin is around 30%, so for MYLR it still has 10% margin after the price cut.

More price drops coming?

That 30% margin may have been at peak supply chain pricing, and Tesla is growing. I cannot even begin to guess what their margin will be through this year at current pricing.

It should be obvious to everybody that as Tesla scales production, the extra production will be towards less affluent buyers. As for a $56k Model Y, that is poor value, caught by the EV credit. Period. It says practically nothing about Tesla or demand or whatever. I imagine the weekend track crowd are sorely tempted by the Model 3P, now priced at $53k and eligible for the EV credit.
I don't know if it is possible, but a fascinating move by Tesla would be to sell a Model S/X for $79,999 with EV credit. That might just turn the upper-middle class big SUV crowd on its head.

I am but why does that matter to TSLA?
More importantly can you recommend another 3 row EV at ~$51K or 2 row ~$47K
Purchased a Model Y Long Range rathar then a Performance due to tax credit.
What sucks is I purchased induction wheels and thinking about purchasing the boost. (this will put pricing with the performance but I'll be missing a faster performaning car, better brakes, wing, matrix headlights and sports suspension? ughh

My point is that they have to drop the price even further than $56k to get people to buy their outstanding inventory. Not everyone wants the 3rd row.
I suspect this is true but only because the alternative ends up 8500 cheaper instead of 1000 cheaper for those that qualify.
Yes there is a chance that they'll drop the price past 3/1. I believe they did that in 2019, but NOT for my $35K SR. The key then was to get the minimum options/qualifier.
I need the 3rd row for family otherwise I would have bought another 3. Still trying to justify paying ~$20K more than 3 but I don't really see any better EV or PHEV SUV options at ~$50K price point. Any recommendations?

Deliveries in TX will be Fremont. Austin cars have to be east of some line like in Tenn like I wrote. Google it to be sure.
Crazy system. I wish TSLA would do tours and buy like the Germans used to, saves everyone $

I know you're joking but did you know that Tesla can only operate sales in under 2/3 rds of the US states? They are literally banned or not allowed to operate in the rest.But those rules don't apply to TSLA? They're a tech co.

What they might get are the ones looking at the Rav4 Prime or Lexus NX350s. This puts the Y into around the same price range after taxes. It's in Tesla's favor as there is barely stock for the Rav4s and most dealerships are still adding market adjustments of $1000-8000 to the MSRP which makes those cars even more overpriced.
Yes I'm familiar with legacy dealer laws. So much for free market capitalism.
But I thought that TX is making exceptions for them given:
Tesla leases 1 million square foot building outside Houston

Tesla has clearly taken a liking to Texas. The company has moved its headquarters from California to Austin, where it has also built a massive Gigafactory. Tesla is also working towards building a lithium refinery plant just outside of Corpus Christi. It has already published job postings for the refinery.
Tesla has also leased an eastern San Antonio warehouse with 440,000 square feet of space used to store manufacturing components for use at Giga Texas.

Nice try if you get audited they'll want to know delivery date. I guess you could flip, but naysayers say TSLA will drop by about the same $
Exactly my experience with Toyota dealers. They don't even want to talk about selling Prime since we're not a CAARB state.
