With the recent price drops, we all feel like we got screwed. I paid 60K for AWD model 3 with just EAP. But I knew there will be an upcoming price drop with 35K model 3. I wanted all the premium features and so far I love the car.
But lets get real. Tesla needs cash infusion badly right now, thats why they are doing massive drops in these software packages. With all the sales satff going away, its gonna be word of mouth to get customers.
If you want Tesla to survive and your car to hold its value, start promoting to non-EV owners cause come Monday, the stock is gonna tank for sure
You aren't getting it.
The problem is not simply the price drops.
One of the problems many people are missing is that Tesla has sold a product they haven't given out yet.
They charged people for this product to the tune of $5k.
Remember: They haven't given the product to ANYONE.
They then sold the same product to other people for $2k.
Remember again...they haven't given the product to Anyone.
Originally they told people that " Hey!! you better get this product now because if you wait its going to cost a lot more".
That has turned out to be totally UNTRUE. The price didn't go up like they warned. It actually went down.
That's what is causing some of the angst and sadness.
