Or they could do nothing.
Well...I get the spirit of what you're saying...that anything the give is better than nothing.
But the truth is that they are giving these "referral" credits as a way to boost sales.
It seems to me they want to call it something other than "cash back" or whatever other
words other car makers use, so as not to be perceived as putting the model S "on sale".
I don't need an economics degree to understand that the referral credit is really just a discount.
The previous referral credit was flawed in that it was way overly beneficial to the referrer
(Bonnie, you said yourself that you "made out like a bandit" - I don't begrudge you for that,
you just made the best of the situation you were in, but those aren't exactly the words one uses
to describe something that's fair).
The one point I'm trying to make - actually I'm just trying to agree with what has already been
said above that it's better this time around. It's more fair.
The other point, which is more to your comment, is that sure, "or they could do nothing".
But, it's kind of too late for that. The cat's out of the bag. They already gave effectively
$2000 off a model S. Tesla already set that bar. And now, the Model S is only older than it
was last fall, and hasn't to my knowledge gotten physically any different for the same price
as compared to when the last program closed on Dec 31, 2015.
So...it just seems odd to me that Tesla lowered the bar. At least that's the way I see it,
coming from the point of view of a prospective buyer.
Ik zal er daar eens achter vragen.
