Yes, Elon said very annoyed that the reason for slower sales is high interest rates.

Yes and they should offer a .9% apr as a special! I want a new X but with rates of 6% or higher, no thanks.

Several brands are offering low to zero interest rates now and I would assume more will.

Perhaps best estimate of pricing direction you will get by asking them a quote of how much they would buy/trade-in a used Tesla from you.

The way they phrased the "next generation" in the earnings call, to me it sounded like they are completely overhauling all 3EXY models, because the changes were so cost effective and a revolutionary way to make a car.
This might explain why S/X are not being made for RHD if they would sell only a few and will be soon replaced by drive-by-wire which is fairly easy to cater for both RHD/LHD.
Fingers crossed

After 5+ years and two different Model 3's (2018 LR RWD & 2019 Performance) I was open to non-Tesla EV's and actually had/have reservations for a few competitors and test drove a bunch including the Fisker Ocean, Canoo, Cadillac Lyriq and Polestar, but in the end I went with a tax credit build LR X.
2nd up would have been the Lyriq, but it just wasn't sporty or quick enough coming from the Tesla's but the build and finishes were great IMO.
Just read the review on the Porsche Macan EV... The trim that compares performance-wise to the X is over $100k of course but competition and options are a good thing! "
- The electric Macan 4 starts at $80,450, with the Macan Turbo starting at $106,950; orders are now open, but first deliveries won't happen until later this year.

I think that depends on what you're looking for. For me, they're not awful but Tesla fits the bill for what I need it for more. They other brands have better interiors, fit and finish. Tesla is awful in this area.

The only other EV that had a nice interior than Tesla is Audi. The rest are all cheap garbage, especially Polestar which is really disappointing.

Not sure if I would dive into Fisker or Lucid right now. Heard they are both very near bankruptcy. They would probably be bought out cheap and given a new injection of money but I am not willing to bet on it and possibly have a car with no service, no warranty and no replacement parts in the near future.

Audi I never considered because its a boring ICE interior with a battery added with crappy range.
The Polestar 2 build quality and handling is better than Tesla Model 3. I rented one from Hertz for several days and took a Performance PS2 for a ride at the showroom as well. If it wasn't slightly smaller interior-wise than a 3 I would have been more interested.
