I'm one. At the time I believed it all.
The December cuts were based on a looming Federal Credit, that was true.
Inventory at the end of the quarter did sell. Cars for sale now may not have been available in 2022 (December or January builds). The IRS made them more expensive by calling the Model Y 5 Seater a car.
Price reductions were unlikely. Companies don't normally reduce prices that much. The IRS screwed it all up.
I was wrong. Enjoy a new Model Y for a great price.
Model S and X had price decreases from 10k-20k and nothing to do with tax credits.
Elon has said repeatedly for a long time he wanted to push volume; and if he had to choose between margin or volume he's doing volume.
Writing was on the wall for these huge price drops IMO. Once we saw huge drops in Asia it was a near certainty to happen here. The large cuts all over the world show this isn't just an IRS "screw up" as you call it.
