Price Increase

[nate704]

Dont know if this has been asked but for my sanity will ask... again. Due to price increases, does placing your order lock you into that price?

Yes.

 

[flstcgranucci]

Yes.

Thank you. I asked because I had to reapply for the loan due to the first one expiring after two months and I noticed my down payment increased by $1k so I wondered if they jacked up the price.

Yes that's why some sell their reservation for more!

It would on the upside but not on the downside. I got mine for $1k less than when I signed up because the price came (for the last time). But if you sign up at a specific price, they can't raise it on you.

Yes. The price went up a few times befween when I ordered and took delivery, but price you pay is set at time of order unless you change something.

you can't sell your reservation

People do.

I think they change the email associated with the account and the buyer fills out their own contact info. Not sure the exact details but it’s not too uncommon.

Price hikes usually happen on Thursday nights right? Wonder if we will see another tonight.

Depends how confident Elon is in triple B actually passing.

FSD price increase to 12K Jan 17th

Wow, does that mean including FSD right now would be a good idea? Since you can remove it anytime before car delivery

FSD has a lot of issues right now. Not worth 10 or 12k IMO. You can always purchase on a month-to-month basis.

Why BUY FSD when you can rent it for $199/mo. How often do you really use FSD in your daily driving? For me and my family, I can see 4 times a year I might want it (4 annual long road trips).

Funny on our last two road trips I thought about pulling the trigger but then thought about all the construction and winter weather and opted not to. Basic AP works just fine for my needs. But $12K/$200 = 60 months of use. Your math may vary.

When FSD is ready it might even be a $20k option at this rate lol

One other factor to consider. With the scenario above, if you sell your car after 5 years, the value of the car is higher if you bought FSD.

I really like the auto lane change, but care less about the other features. The features of the Beta are fun, but at $10k or $12k, I'd pass. $7k when I bought FSD was a hard call.

Enhanced auto pilot is the best option IMO. Hopefully they'll offer that again sometime.

Competition in the market will drive down the costs. Regulations/safety is what is keeping FSD in beta. Once the "standards" are set, and Tesla FSD is out of Beta, all other large OEM manufacturers and smaller EV makers have a clear pathway to get "authorizable" solutions into the market (with cheaper, non-R&D "first to market" budgets)

Actually this may not be true. Trade in value often is less than $1k with or without FSD. Tesla will potentially sell FSD again on the same vehicle multiple times.

So even if you "buy" FSD, Tesla is blurring the line between purchase and subscription.

I originally ordered FSD for $10k, but removed it due to the above as well as all the phantom braking, no radar, and other issues.

Assuming it stays at $199/mo.... rumors are it will be $299/mo when the $12k price hits.
