Who knows about the price cuts other than Tesla enthusiasts and Wall Street analysts? How would they know? I still have people I run into thinking EVs are $100K autos. How many people this weekend that go out and look for a possible new car will know that Tesla just cut the prices of the Model 3 and Model Y by $2000. How many more in a week? In a month?
And in the threads on slickdeals where the cuts ARE being discussed it's filled with folks who still think it takes an hour to charge on a road trip and you'll need to replace a $20,000 battery every 5 years too.
Doubtless a few are trolls, but some clearly just have never been educated otherwise on this stuff- in ways that many here who live/breath this stuff just don't seem to accept others can be unaware of.
Think of it like when your elderly mom is confused by her computer and you can't understand how she can possibly not know what right-click is or whatever.
That's what I think of every time I see someone dismiss the idea there's a huge % of the population that remains ignorant of the many benefits of EVs.
