Not sure how this big price change sped up Tesla's mission. Customer backlash is the result and caused him to offer refunds.Yep, and now as a result of this future price changes will be smaller and spread further out slowing down Tesla's mission.

I don’t know WTF they didn’t wait till Jan 1st 2019. While they only need to drop the price 3500 no one would have said ANYTHING even at 5000.
So the big winners are those who order today and get P3D+ for 64K with full federal tax credit.
I’m old enough to remember people paying $10k over MSRP for PT Cruisers. New models are often more expensive when they first come out.I realize how Tesla has done this sort of thing before, but many people waited over 2 years to get the car of their dreams and then within a month or two of taking delivery they find out that they could have paid $5K less - that kinda sucks. It was just too much of a sudden change (as Elon said himself with "too much too soon").
Plus i don't think anyone (even Fred) asked for a refund, Elon offered that up on his own.
Man the more I think about this, the more pissed I am.
They should at least compensate us early adopters of PUP with FSD or something.
Because they don't want another config to build. People would have still complained about that price drop as well, don't kid yourself.

People are forgetting that the tax credit is going away so in reality the $5k price drop is actually only $1250k. That’s the proper spin.
Well I learned my lesson. Don't buy another tesla! Free loans for tesla, wait and wait and then delay after delay after delay. Then when you finally get your car they change the price drastically a week later.
Meanwhile, the service center is too busy to fix my P3D- I picked up last week.
I should have rejected the hell out of this car. Now I have a car with a door that won't close right, and a crooked frunk and trunk, and it needs to go to a body shop for paint work. Oh yea and no performance plus package either. I clearly made a poor decision in buying this car.
Oh wait I can upgrade to the car that costs the same price now for what like 9k more?
I hope some other companies come out with some decent EVs..
Oh but no free supercharging? I doubt I'll use more than $200 supercharging over the life of the vehicle.
Plus to top it off I wont even get track mode.
I should just be happy for what I have right? But I could have kept that entire chevy volt I sold for the difference in cost. We all vote with our wallets so i know what I must do next time around.
Don't be surprised if Tesla cuts another $3,750 on Jan 1 to fill the tax credit gap.
We get the tax credit because we waited forever for the car and gave out a free loan and took a chance on an unknown car.Complain but not revolt - because at least current owners got full tax credit where as those future owners get half.
Psychology and perception my friend.
Well that's good. How about a free brake upgrade too!Elon tweeted that all Performance Models get track mode, including P3D-.

It's great he is offering 5k back to those that ordered the performance package, but that does nothing for me.

This is what they should have done to start with. I would have bought the P3D+ at that price. $10k for just a power upgrade from 0-60mph was never a good deal.
People who paid the extra $1k or $2k for AWD got screwed too, just a little less. Let's not also forget the extra $500 for the white seats that everyone had to eat in Q3.Well that's good. How about a free brake upgrade too!
I wish I would have stuck with the AWD, or just ordered the most basic LR RWD with no options no autopilot etc, or better yet a different EV.
