Again, this simply isn't accurate for many buyers.
I'm a 2018 buyer.
I saved money compared to if I'd waiting to today to buy the exact same vehicle.... the tax credit is much lower, homelink/phone/14-50 cables no longer included, destination charge is higher, plus the 10.5 months of savings on gasoline in that time.
I bought in dec 2018. Total was 57k. They are selling for 40k if lucky.
Tesla offered me 35k.
I was a day one res holder. Just sad how they treat people.
You seem to be confusing new and used car pricing? While related they're not exactly the same thing.
Yeah trading in to Tesla insures the lowest possible value vs private party sale (especially if the car has any software options)
I'm a day one res holder too. As I mention it'd cost me more if I'd waiting to buy today instead of buying June 2018 (delivery Sept 2018)

Will drop after the final phase out.
I have a LR AWD . sounds like software upgrade to performance without other bells and whistles..can we order it after delivery ?
To cork it is not possible yet...I have a LR AWD . sounds like software upgrade to performance without other bells and whistles..can we order it after delivery ?
Since all people lost out since 2018. Yours has had gone down. Not sure what "phone" means.
i don’t get the complaints from 2018 buyers. The moment you took delivery your car value dropped by $7500 vs MSRP on top of the well known instant used car hit *AND* the EV technology curve depreciation.
Bonus extra depreciation for the Performance model as this has the reputation of being driven hard.
I bought a Perfomance 3 last month and knew the moment I signed the papers that I can kiss those $61k goodbye.
Some people really should lease.
This is simply not accurate.
If I bought today the car price is $8000 less for an identical config.
But the tax credit is $5625 less. The destination charge is $200 more. Then it's $300 to add homelink. And $50 to buy the phone charging cables and 14-50 adapter no longer included with a new car.
So the "today" real net price is only $1825 less apples to apples.
I've had my car for 10.5 months and I save about $200/mo not buying gas compared to the Lexus it replaced.
Which means I saved about $275 by buying in 2018 instead of waiting until today.... (arguably I saved more than that since my Lexus would've taken 10.5 months more depreciation by waiting but that's deep into the weeds)
Plus I got to drive a much better car for almost an extra year too.
Tax credit you can't use as an offset reason.
Some people borrowed the money and paid back with tax credit. But either way. It wasn't given to Tesla. It was given to the customer.
Just doesn't sound like we are seeing eye to eye. How many miles have you put
On your?
No complaints about car but oh boy I would have ponied up for M3Performance at bee pricepoint
Same here but I don't plan on losing all $61k. At some point the depreciation curve will level off. Why is leasing any better? Tesla is already factoring in a low residual value on the car and using the tax credit to lower payments. Either way you are going to pay a lot of money over the first 3-4 years of ownership as the EV market pricing becomes better established.
Good point. It works both ways. M3P owners who feel they overpaid and AWD owners who would have ponied up to M3P.
The real question is did they really have to lower the prices to keep sales volumes at target levels. Tesla is running the company so that is for them to decide. IMO though, the M3P is not supposed to be a high volume seller though so I am not sure why they had to lower the price on the 3P the most. The 3P in the line up should be like the ZL1 in the Camaro, the GT350 in the Mustang, the Z06 in the Corvette, the M3 in the BMW, S5 in the Audi, etc. If they keep dropping the price on the premium trim then it cheapens all the Model 3s. For example, LR RWD owners that paid $56k are like yeah but you can get a M3P for the same money now... As M3 owners you want a premium trim line to keep the prestige, the news headlines, the track testing reviews, etc.
Instead of just lowering prices Tesla should be working on adding more options to increase profit per car.

- Magnetic suspension
- More wheel/tire options - different sizes
- More paint color options
