Hi guys, my delivery is set for this Saturday. Logged on this morning and noticed base price of the X75D went from 85,500 to 82,500 overnight. Will Tesla honor this reduced price for my car? Antone ever have this happen to them?
Very interesting. Has Tesla ever lowered the price like this? I think this represents lowered (anticipated?) battery costs - especially with the price drop in 60-75kW upgrades. I also think sales needs a boost. I'm seeing more and more new MS and MX in inventory.
Also, I think lowering the price sets a dangerous precedence. Makes me, as an existing owner, worried about resale. Are they going to drop it more based on cheaper batteries or to increase sales? Places even more doubt and hesitation in prospective buyers who are waiting for better tech - or now - a better deal/lower price.
I would have preferred them charging less for options or include an option as standard. E.g. The overpriced PUP or overpriced wheels.
I think it's in preparation for the Model 3. They've been pretty honest about what a Model 3 is, and isn't. I think there are a lot of people on the fence currently waiting for a cheaper option and have built the 3 to be something it isn't meant to be. Some will be disappointed when they realize Elon was telling the truth - the S is a much better car with the latest technology.

I seems like Tesla does not care about existing customers. They even dropped the price of the 90D and I can configure the same vehicle I purchased only a few months ago for $3000 less. How about all those poor guys that paid $7000 to upgrade to their batteries and now the cost is a fraction of that cost.
I disagree, existing customers have the option to upgrade at a cost of $2,000 now. I would say that shows they care about existing customers. You can't very well expect Tesla to refund you $5,000 because you bought earlier. Those are point in time.
I have sent an e-mail to my delivery specialist regarding the price drop. I was scheduled to pick up my car this Thursday. Will update when I hear back from him. Crossing my finger they will honor the $3000 drop!
If you refuse delivery, wouldnt they take your deposit?Cool, I did the same, let's keep each other apprised as to this so we can make sure both of us are treated consistently since we're both in the same boat. It seems unfathomable to me they would not honor the new price, since if you refuse delivery it will go into inventory and sell to another customer at the new price.

So its fair that customers that bought a 75D last month just took a $3000 hit on their resale? This is not a temporary sale this is the new price.
This is Tesla's way of trying to get people to move from Model 3's to a Model S but they dont care about hurting their existing customers to gain new customers.
My upgrade from 60D to 75D was $9500. I just logged into MyTesla, the price is now $6500. Hey Tesla, I might consider the upgrade if the price is $3000.
My DS has forwarded my e-mail to the sales person. I probably will still take delivery since the difference between the non-refundable deposit and the price drop is only $500 + time and I don't want to wait no longer!
As an existing customer, again I disagree. The value of my 60D is still pretty strong, especially if I pay the $2000 to upgrade it to a 75D. I would argue that as an existing customer, this change increased the value of my car in the past 24 hours. It sucks for you, and you can rant. But a blanket statement to say they don't care about their customers is a bit much.
When was yours built? My Dec delivered AP2 MS60D, checked this AM and confirmed the upgrade cost was $2000.
