$20k off an S Plaid. There’s your demand issues right there…
Interestingly, now a Plaid with 21” wheels and blue color upgrade and FSD is now exactly the same price as a Plaid base was an hour ago.
Anyone who just took delivery before the new year or… yesterday, that’s going to sting.

Why are people surprised? They are still too much.
Remember, they were selling the LR for $79K at launch.

Definitely the middle to finger to Guinea pigs like me who waited, paid $23k more without FSD, and dealing with the tire issues Tesla and Michelin are completely aware of. I would love to trade out of my plaid and get a new one but now I am screwed on my trade in value as well.

I just noticed on my Tesla account a $10k reduction in the price of the MS that will be delivered this upcoming Monday! Boy, I really complained about the delays in the delivery date and now it turns out that I just got lucky!

The very least Tesla should do is provide a huge incentive for existing plaid owners to buy new Plaids. This will boost sales and show good will.

I ordered my X a year ago, so my price was $104K before adding options - so I won’t be seeing any reduction in my total price. My trade in 3 will now be reduced further. I do feel for those who paid the higher prices and took delivery in 2022. Unfortunately that’s something that happens across all car lines. You can buy a Ford one day, and a day/month later the dealer is offering “employee discounts” to everyone. One thing I always liked about Tesla was that their price was not negotiable; you knew you were paying the same as the guy/gal next door. It’ll be interesting to see what their share prices will do. I’ll bet they go down in the short-term and then go up as investors realize that volume will increase and more than make up for the drop in per unit profit.

Not really. Even if you paid the higher price and, say, it cost you $20K over what you’d pay today. Now let’s say you have 1,000 shares. When the share price goes up a mere $20, you’ll have made up the difference. If you’ve got 500 shares, then the share price would only have to go up $40 for you to “break even.” As low as Tesla’s shares now are, I believe that there’s a lot of upward potential this year given their factory expansions and increasing volumes.
I’m not terribly upset about paying a higher price but add this to the list why my next car won’t be a tesla.
I remembered a few years ago when Elon guaranteed trade in values for Tesla.

Don't do either!
Why not? If their prices stay down or even get lower, Tesla might be a better value than the competition - and so far at least, Tesla has the best charging infrastructure. I just hope their build quality and customer service improves.
This will certainly affect car values as well, so not just recent buyers are hurting. Used MS Plaids just took a dump.
Go buy a lottery ticket.
Waiting for Tesla to turn green in think or swim. Has not happened in a long time.
Price cuts are crazy, but keep in perspecitve. My white 21 refresh MS ordered in 4/21 and pu 9/21 was $91,290 total with FSD. Same config today after price cuts is still 22% higher at $111,630, not including the mobil charger that was standard back in 21.
