Again you are not including the difference between EAP and AP. In reality, you lost $1750 + Sales Tax. I'm not sure how registration works in your state.

Have you purchased a tv lately? Or any other electronics? Price drops from tech advancements are normal part of business.Ouch. My $72,500 car is now $61,000 for the same config just 6 months later. Even after the $5k refund in December that is still painful. Oh well... it's good for the world overall I suppose.
Not much incentive to be another "Tesla early adopter" again after this experience
You lose $6k+ on your tv’s?
NoA is worth squat. Summons is not worth much either. I rather have the cash in my pocket.

This isn’t a TV. No car in history price drops like this in 6 months.
Tesla is asking for no repeat customers at this point. I for one will not be a repeat customer.
So you paid for an enhanced feature but have buyer's remorse once the basic feature was released. I get that but I would not count that against depreciation. They are two different feature sets and should be treated differently.

When's the last time you've seen a car with the same package go down in price thousands of dollars within a year?
That actually happens all the time, it's known as "incentives", and lots of OEMs do it on the back end when they are trying to stimulate sales. Since Tesla has fixed pricing, all that's happening is you're seeing it in on the front side in this instance.
Otherwise known as "cash on the hood". Draw your own conclusions what this means for Tesla. You know lots of people will.

This happens nearly annually with automakers that have a more traditional model year cycle.

Hey guys..
Just wanted to point out that the price has actually increased for us Canucks
Was $45,600
Now $47,600
While all of our southern neighbours complain over price decreases.. we get price increases (for standard range).
boo urns.
My current LR RWD with MSM paint and enhanced autopilot (18" wheels)
Was $72,000
Now $71,000
BUT... I did save $14,000 for the Ontario rebate.. sooo.... no complaints there lol
HOW DARE TESLA DECREASE THE PRICE OF MY CAR BY $1000!!!!!!!!!!!! IN 9 MONTHS!!! GRRRRRRRR
Oh wait... I've saved about that in fuel.
nvm

Thanks for this. I think this is primarily an emotional response for me. What it really comes down to for me is what I will pay over the life of the loan plus what I paid or traded in up front (minus the $7500 tax credit). Your $3324 number may be close when taking into account the $2000 autopilot difference.
Being an early adopter and having fear of missing out (honestly did not know if they would have made the standard battery in time for the $3750 credit) made me jump in too early. Honestly the sweet spot probably would be the MR with white interior for me. I drive very little regularly (3000 miles in six months) and the mid range would have been enough for road trips.
The $134/mo difference on the loan hurts lol
And it’s actually a 6 year loan unfortunately.
So that difference is $9648 but I’m not sure if I factored everything in correctly to get to the financed amounts after trade in, sales tax, credits, etc maybe the difference is $5898?

I've never seen it for the same model year, but I don't doubt it hasn't happened. Usually I see the discounts when they're unloading the previous model year cars.
Yes I understand the fear of missing out. What most people are trying to say is that they would have preferred to get a cheaper version with less features rather than the more expensive version they stretched for. That is different from their current model having high depreciation. Maybe you can still sell your LR model and get a used Standard Range or Mid Range in a few months.
I traded in a Fiat 500 for my Model 3 in August. If you offered me the $2,250 that I “lost” on my Model 3 to drive my Fiat for another six months I’d throw the money back in your face.
I will likely just keep what i have. Seems like a hassle to try to sell and get a new one honestly. I’m not happy but I love the car. I definitely stretched to get this one because Tesla couldn’t/wouldn’t tell us when they cheaper ones would be available (or even that they existed in the case of the MR).
I do think this means large and quick depreciation for those of us that bought the LR RWD last year though.
It's a MUCH bigger %. The TV I bought In November just had a 25% price drop.
