I like how people are chill with Tesla prices dropping 30% every quarter.
Way cool! In September, 2020 I can get that M3P for $10,000.

You are saying the momentum will slow down if the prices stayed the same
nope.The tax cuts are effectively raising pricing, so yeah. Price drops equalize things.
I stand corrected.
But I bet they lowered the price yearly and only about 5% each.
And thanks to no internet the people were not as upset as people on this forum today.
I can think of one reason it could affect a potential long-term owner.Totally different world. People don't get upset about computers getting cheaper. Cars were investment back then. They didnt think about trading them in in 3 years.
FWIW, in 1929, it was $500. In 1931, $395. Wee bit more than 5% per year.
Like I said above, I have a white performance. Took the biggest "hit." But more of these on the road means more charging options. Besides, I don't plan on selling any time soon. Why should someone else getting it for less bother me? It has ZERO bearing on me.
I wish this forum would combine my posts made within a short time period so it doesn't clutter up the thread. Mac forums website combines posts automatically I think.Wow. Somebody starts a thread with a crazy screed full of exaggerations, another guy “adopts” it and replies to every post...
Go drive your nice cars, guys.
For the same price of a Nissan versa, some people will still buy ICE.Way cool! In September, 2020 I can get that M3P for $10,000.

Let's say he bought one for $70000 and financed $60000.
He gets into a car accident one day.
He owes $55000 on the loan and insurance company only pays him $35000.

According to conceptcarz.com
1929 model A Tudor sedan was $522.
1931 model A Tudor sedan was $495.
That's 5% over 2 years.
nope.
Decrease in the tax credit was $1875.... Not a penny more or penny less.
The price cut was not $1875....
If it was, no people would complain.
Tesla dropped the base model by 1k and the top end model by 5k. Obviously margins are lower on the base models given that they have the same chassis, interior, etc.
So yeah, it would be pretty dumb to mirror the price cuts to the penny across all trims. Not sure what you're trying to argue about, maybe take an economics class and report back.

I hope you realize that it’s irrelevant if you I or anyone approves/disapproves of the price cuts.
We do not dictate the prices, the market does.
You are just going to have to assume Tesla is being a rational agent and setting a price that the market will bear for the quantity it can or wants to produce.
I have taken delivery of my cars - there is zero benefit to me being concerned with tomorrow’s price.
It’s pissing in the wind and distraction from things I can actually do something about. If I had a directive for Tesla it’s simply:
“Do what you need to do to survive and thrive”.
