I’m not so sure Tesla cares about having “flagship” models.
If they did, they’d fix the vibration issues their “flagship” models are experiencing.
Imo, tesla’s business model is a race to the bottom. They have no intention of being Porsche, they’re targeting ford, gm etc.

Probably from the tax reductions, which are stated for all Tesla vehicles in the same manner. That does not mean price increase, though.
On the first picture, look at the mid-left, and the second picture, look at the bottom.
I don’t think the Model X Plaid is eligible for tax reductions.

…and then what? No idea what you’re suggesting here.
EDIT: I see what you’re suggesting. Had no idea where that comparison page even was.
Maybe? I don’t think $96,490 has ever been a starting price for the X plaid so I doubt it’s a historical error.

For the life of me I can’t figure out whats happening.
96,490 is the current price of the plaid with upgraded wheels and yoke.
Won’t happen. The S is the “trophy” performance model to exhibit the company’s technological capabilities. Like the NSX with Honda / Acura. The GT-R with Nissan. The Supra with Toyota.

Rumors are they will be releasing a Model 3 Plaid. Given Elon’s past comments on the S/X being built for “sentimental reasons” combined with his strategy of getting cheaper EV cars to the masses to help the environment, does that leave a place for an expensive complicated car?

And if Tesla wanted to make such a vehicle, why not just proceed with the Roadster 2?

X and S are sinking ships
What a baseless claim. S and X were evidently important enough to get a complete refresh just over 2 years ago.
Car companies need model hierarchies to be aspirational. They need them to entice entry level buyers to upgrade. It's actually a problem even with the current S3XY lineup. Even with 4 cars it's too flat, and there's money being left on the table. Feature-heavy cars are always going to bring more complaints and warranty claims, this is endemic to all automakers. Car manufacturers don't make halo cars for massive profits - that's what the mainstream cars are for.
Zero chance S and X are going away.

Baseless?, um ok.
$40K price drop speaks for itself.
Within the next 2 years both will be gone if not sooner.
