I found one that has everything I want. Low mileage. They’re asking 115 K. I think it’s a bit high, but admittedly I have to do a little more research. When I bought my last model X, shortly afterwards, the price plummeted. I’m not sure what they cost just before the refresh, but it would be helpful to know that before I make a decision.
If I remember correct I believe the model x performance with no options was 100k before the refresh.
I am definitely in the market for a 2020 performance. I am going to work on getting the price down on the one I have targeted. Meanwhile, is anyone here willing to help me identify the actual sticker price on a 2020 Performance X with six seat configuration? The last one I bought was a 2017. The price totally plummeted after I bought it (yet another Tesla kick in the rocks...).
Maybe they'll debut it by having it tow a train full of rejected cars back to Fremont
I have used Wayback Machine, just put in the link to the model x order page and select a date near the production date of the X based on the VIN to get an idea on pricing. You will be able to add the options to get the purchase price at that time since there were a few price adjustments.
But... supply chain issues are the reason. Every manufacturer is unable to produce at maximum output because of supply chain issues. Ford, Hyundai, Chevy, Dodge, etc. are all running on fumes right now and dealerships are barely stocked with new cars. It's also why the used car market is so hot right now, people are forced to buy used when they need a car right now because there's no new inventory.
I wholly agree with your thoughts. But, they have not made a single MX for the market in months. The lack of a single car makes me wonder about the issue(s) that Tesla is seeking to resolve.
Model S and X are Tesla’s most profitable cars. Elon has stated many times his gratitude for those people who purchased them in the early years because those purchases helped finance the development of the higher volume but lower margin cars like the Model 3 and Y. The costs for the S and X have only come down over the years as they have been able to amortize their tooling and development costs over many years now. Elon also stated in last quarters conference call that the cost of producing the refreshed models of the S and X are actually a little lower than the version before, thus even more profitable.
This is what I have understood all along. The S and the X have made Tesla some healthy money. The fact that they are not selling them as fast as they can, and have yet to sell a single Model X, to me, indicates, something other/more than the supply chain crunch everyone in many sectors is contending with. The S and the X are a much smaller fraction of the 3 and Y, and the 3 and Y are rolling off the line and the revenue onto the balance sheet. I sincerely doubt we will become privy to the issues, but the problem right now is that we have truly no idea when the X may be sold considering its delay could extend into all of 2021 and 2022.
Ultimately, this is what yields the issue. If we couple all this with the unexplained MS weeklong pause where service centers with cars in inventory were prohibited from delivering them, ultimately makes me wonder when this process will actually begin. For all we know, MXs have been produced and are waiting on something before they start to ship them out. In the end though, the opaqueness of this approach is what can be maddening. At this point, people are waiting 10+ months for actionable information on their $100K+ cars of which most of us do not need several, and probably plan to use the one on at least a semi-regular basis.
Pure conjecture for sure … but I am beginning to wonder if the real reason is that Elon is adding special new stuff to the X to make sure it holds its own for several years against the likes of the Mercedes EQSeries SUVs and others that will be appearing in the next 2-3 years.
