Price increase

[aerodyne]

After a series of rather significant price cuts across the board in 2023, this latest increase appears out of place. Apparently, the cost of 3 yrs. unlimited supercharging is baked into the price adjustment. I don't think this move will increase demand that much, as a majority of Tesla owners already have / will have a home charging solution. Notice that the supercharging promotion ends on June 30 in typical Tesla fashion to boost EOQ sales. One thing's for sure, Tesla likes to shake up the EV market with increasing frequency.

Here's the typical Tesla buying scenario: You place an order, play the waiting game, and then sit back and watch the insanity unfold. Your "exact match" never quite arrives in local inventory in time before the incentives expire, or your trade-in quote expires before then. During that time frame, you watch prices / interest rates, and options fluctuate, or come and go. You worry that your trade in value will tank on the next offer. So as your anxiety builds, your knees weaken, and stomach turns over, you finally decide to accept a different color, trim, or other options. This is a game that Tesla always wins.

^^^This. And most posters here recently have only had to deal with said insanity for a month or two, not a year or more like those early adopters of the Refresh circa 21-22... Remember Endless Delivery Disorder?

Wishful thinking, but not likely until Tesla is ready to admit that Tesla Vision won’t cut it for parking assistance.

EM doubles down more often than he admits he is wrong.

From earnings call, "Hopefully FSD this year"

That’s not what I was just told in writing from Tesla.

Mannnnn this is going to get interesting.

What’s even crazier is all model S’s are currently showing free 3 years charging on the app lol

Can you share what you were told exactly and how that was communicated? I was told in writing (via text) that I can only get free supercharging if I take the higher price.

All my communication regarding my order has been via the text chat that Tesla created as soon as I submitted the order.

Wouldn’t be the first time different Tesla employees gave different answers.

You made me wake up my car, but you are correct.

It does not say free though. Maybe we will all be kicked off the SuC network in three years to make room for non Tesla EV's?

The price increase on the S that’s not selling particularly well and the decrease on the Y that’s hot are a little mind blowing. I don’t understand the strategy at all. Only 1k difference between the m3p and myp is crazy.

Do you still get the free supercharger for 3 years if you locked in on the lower price but haven’t received it yet?

No.

I will confirm with my SA. The terms simply say those who take delivery between April and June. It doesn’t stipulate price or order period.

Actually, it does when you click for details:

You can also get an extra 3 years, 6 total, if you trade-in an S or X with FUSC. (Or you can keep it but authorize Tesla to remove FUSC from it.)

Nope. You gotta order AND take delivery in the said window of time.

Good luck with that. The terms also say that the promotion can change or be ended at any time. So, the only thing that matters is what is on the paperwork when you sign, everything up to that point is meaningless.

Tesla changed the text. I’m almost certain it said “Customers who take delivery…” and nothing about ordering when the details were first posted.

Yeah, that text was screen captured, for all eternity, yesterday April 21, 2023. I don't know what it was before or after that day.

I found an article with a screenshot of the free supercharging details before Tesla changed it: Tesla Brings Back Free Supercharging for a Limited Time. I wasn't imagining things (this time).

Yep, there may be a few lucky people that took delivery before they changed the terms.

show proof:?

I am just going to wait until December. I am praying for end of year deals

I don’t think anyone seriously believes that S prices are gonna go up. Just saw a used 2021 plaid on Tesla site for 91K, with FSD
I guess they themselves believe their cars are massively overpriced

If that would happen to be 5YJSA1E61MF431897, it have had 3 owners already. Smells like trouble to me.
