Update on Tesla Stores and Pricing
It is like no one actually looked at the store closing plan until after they announced it? What a mess.

He's one of those "move fast and break things" guys, for anyone who hasn't figured that out yet.

Oh, well if buying my next Tesla will cost ME more money, then close all the stores, screw the employees.......

This is a total disaster. They look like fools, IMHO.

This is getting embarrassing. If I were a Tesla investor I would really be nervous now.

Now if he could undo the hit the stock took concerning this asinine decision in the first place.

Oh no...don't start asking questions about things mean. However - people here at TMC seem to have more information that what Tesla has right now.
I wish they gave you until the end of the day on Friday or Saturday so you could decide if a Y was a better choice. They may just be wringing out all the buyers they can. Drop the price, grab a few thousand, threaten to rais the price, grab a few thousand more. I think they need that extra price drop later for when the fed tax credit totally goes away. If you are on the fence there is no way this is not getting you closer to pulling the trigger. Anyone want to buy a very clean 2018 Volt Premier with 15,000 miles?

I can't even get exited about the Model Y with all of this.
How much information about the Model Y will be true ( for at least a week ) at the reveal?

Who would even dare to put down a deposit on the Model Y?
Is the price of the Model Y really going to be 10% higher when you are able to buy it in a year? Or is it going to be 10% lower in price because battery prices will be cheaper by then....or.....?

This. You don't have to be the Elon Musk of the business world to know that making a huge announcement like this then turning around on it in a week or two isn't to be done like this. Any competent business manager would be asking "Did they even think about this before making the announcement and cutting peoples' bonuses? And doing it to the very people that helped them get a bunch of sales and profitability?".
This should have been thoroughly planned out in the Tesla offices BEFORE announcing anything to anyone. Tesla's business department looks like a bunch of Grade "A" jackasses right now.
Well I am hoping they have leared from the 3 and will be starting the Y sooner than expected. The price stuff is just noise, I would prefer they keep the price lower to get more ice off the road, but if they need it for later and the “sale” filled out their production, the that’s good too. Why are you worried about the price and store noise? I the last week you just got (well coming soon) more power, more range and an almost doubling of the charging speed of a car you already own. Tesla only has to do 3 things. Make as many cars as they can, sell all those cars and prepare to make more. Model 3 tracker says they are making more, China is going as planned, price hike and 3SR deliver date push back says they have filled in any demand gap they had and hopefully we hear more about the Y on Thursday.

Tesla also has to stop making their stock go down with things that they walk-back a week later.

At this point I think assuming they even understood they had leases when they originally made the decision might be assuming too much.
