Interest rates are absolutely killing Tesla. Along with their insistence on not re-designing the duck billed model y. If they would put a screen behind the wheel and apply all 3 changes to the Y, I’d be a performance y buyer. And possibly get rid of my model s. No one wants to accept this but the shine is off Tesla when they made the cars cheap and didn’t want to respect owners. If there is no perceived advantage for a higher price, why would a buyer pay a premium? What happened? People are balking at the brand. Why? Because why would you pay more to “save” gas when you are paying more than 8k more to buy a Y than a well equipped Kia, Honda, Toyota. This superiority complex of a Tesla ended when they insisted on no updates just stamp out the same design, and paint the same colors, same interior, over and over and over. Consumers eventually want new styles and mr musk definitely overstated his perceived appeal. There are no financing discounts with Tesla. Where as with other dealers you can get a finance deal in lieu of a massive discount. Maybe Tesla needs to consider this?
