Price increase

[mm9351]

Here we go again. The 12th price adjustment in 2023. Notice that the interest rate decrease on the S/X somewhat offsets the price increase of $1,000 for those seeking Tesla financing. However, newly placed orders for the Model Y (all variants) are met with a modest increase of $250 but without any interest rate promotion.

Well a majority of those are being shipped overseas now as RHD vehicles have been discontinued and they will be giving customers a chance to take delivery of LHD inventory.

That is not much of an option except for those that want a track car.

Missing the rate by 5 days. Ugh

Yeah me too. But I am gonna refinance with my credit union in 6 months or simply pay the car off in one year.

Most of inventory LR cars are discounted by 5K here in Atlanta? Stealth price decrease?

 

[DayTrippin]

Probably devalued them by the cost savings of removing USS...

I saw them doing that a week ago in my area on both the LR and Plaid. Still doing it.

I see model 3 rwd are all getting a 2400 discount, I guess they are getting ready to launch a refresh 3

Preview pics have been all over the websites. Supposed to launch in June. Of course they are discounting current 3

That may explain the M3 discounts but Tesla is also discounting models that aren't due for a major refresh soon. As has been discussed, the starting price of a new MS has gone from $106,440 at the beginning of the year to as little as $85,380 (including destination and order fees) today plus you can get three years of FUSC.

Model S inventory discount is 7500 now

I doubt it'll make a dent in the sales. We'll find out at the end of next month.

I am seeing a lot more 2023 S in SoCal nowadays. Usually I see almost none, and just saw 3 more yesterday, all with temp plates.

I saw a "Demo" MS LR with about a 9k discount. The race to the bottom is in full swing it seems. Maybe if they had launched the refresh with a wheel, their might have been more takers and a lot more positive buzz on the streets.

I did have a neighbor come up an ask me about parking sensors. Apparently he heard the new ones don't have that already and was a major turn off for him. I wasn't about to lie and say the POS SW implementation to try and half ass make up for the removal of USS was a great solution. I took him for a ride in my car and suggested he go drive a demo car and also check some YouTube vids before buying.

The Tesla Vision park assist does indeed suck

Inventory in SoCal is like 20, down from 45-55 which have been the case for the last few weeks.

There may not be such a thing as a '25 MS or MX.

There will be if Tesla prices the vehicle accordingly or improves the quality.

90k for a model s is just too much when the model y is nearly half that for not much worse of a car in my opinion.

I'm considering an inventory Model S. However according to https://www.ev-cpo.com, almost all the inventory in my area are still on HW3. Is this a mistake? I thought they switch to HW4 back in March/April.

I would not worry about having HW4. I think it will be a repeat of HW2.5, in other words, no big deal.

Lighter glass roof would be desireable however.

I wonder if the lighter roof is directly replaceable. If so, and anything happened to my factory roof, I know what I am replying it with...

Yup, no more " Mirrors on the Ceiling"

Not really comparable. HW2.5 were different cameras only. HW4 is didferent cameras and different FSD computer, with no clear upgrade path.

Also HW2.5 wasn’t a great experience - HW2 owners had to wait for a camera retrofit to use FSD beta.

I have a HW3 car and I agree it’s not an issue now, but if you’re buying a new S it’s not clear to me why you wouldn’t look for one with HW4.
