Ohhhhh you’re in Canada. NOW it makes sense
It's becomes it comes with autopilot for a total cash price of $39,500 USD. Yeah you can call and get the 35k version
You can't, it's standard now, unless you call/go to a Tesla store and ask for the $35k software-restricted SR+ with AP removed, which can still be bought for $35k, with a little extra effort.
I appreciate that Tesla dick about with the pricing a lot, but come on...

Yes, the SPYX (also did really well if compared to S&P500 including dirt)
I am not in Canada but for some reason even if I go back to the main Tesla.com page once I configure it it puts me in Canada.
Flag icon, upper right, on the config page.
The other possibility that occurs to me is that he could do just the opposite and embrace it.
"Yes - in fact, we are developing a new version of the S and X, it's going to be great. Deliveries will start in three months. But it's going to be significantly more expensive. We'll be opening orders on Friday."
Wherein, they just entirely shut down the reason to "wait and see". For anyone who was in a wait-and-see mode: you either think that the new version is worth the extra money, wherein you put down a deposit and Tesla immediately racks up some cash, or you think it's not worth the extra money, and you go ahead and order that current-model S/X that you'd been holding off on.

Disruption is hard.
Weird... and on such low volume... Maybe just 1 big investor dumping?
They really need to just show their cards and make it clear you'll pay more if you wait for the refresh. The "wait and see" is really stalling demand and the stalling is justified. When people close to me ask about the S/X I try to be honest with them and tell them "There's likely a refresh coming but I'm not sure when, I'm not sure how much of an upgrade it's going to be or if it's going to costs more, etc.." instead of telling them to just go ahead and buy the S/X right now. I feel bad for saying go ahead and buy now when we all know something is coming but have nothing else to go off on except that "it's coming".
I used to have a regular guest on my old TV show who was the chief economist for a large commercial bank and was formerly a Federal Reserve economist. He told me that when he was there, the Fed officials did not take the Beige Book too seriously, as it was basically a learning exercise for interns on a rotating basis among the Fed banks. Nevertheless, it gives the media something to talk about, and may trigger some trades.
As in, "Could you give us some color on the Beige Book?"?
There doesn't even have to be any breakthroughs. Tesla has shown that just economies of scale, smart vertigal integration, and the current modest rate of yearly improvement has been enough to do it. They are making competitively priced cars with healthy margins.
In other words, just solid business sense and good execution.
Yup. Just set the prices, set the date and be done with it. If you say it's going to be 10k more and all of your customers want to wait, great. If they rush to buy the old version, great.They really need to just show their cards and make it clear you'll pay more if you wait for the refresh.
