7 seat MYP isn't an option yet. Crosses fingers they deliver another dagger there!The waiting list for LRs is going to get very long, very fast. Tesla will surely want to prioritize Performance Ys. 7 Seat performance Y will dominate for a while.
This is exactly what people commenting on the inventory trending up expected as a result of the inventory trending up lolRemember this am when ppl were so concerned about the slightly increased inventory?
Does he read our forums? He got beat to the punch.
For those that qualify for the credit, that’s effectively a $20,500 drop for the Model Y LR
Yea same. I trust that they will do what they have/want to do whenever that is. But still this was a huge surprise and makes my little bits tingly!This is exactly what people commenting on the inventory trending up expected as a result of the inventory trending up lol
I personally never doubted Tesla would move all these vehicles, I doubted they would all move at those prices.
Right, my mistake.7 seat MYP isn't an option yet. Crosses fingers they deliver another dagger there!
Fwiw the rear luggage deck tray that the seats mount onto is different. It shouldn't be materially difficult I suspect.Right, my mistake.
I have no idea why they couldn't make one. It's all the same hardware barring the brakes and suspension. I assumed it was just a choice to limit the number of offerings.
Production is constantly increasing though right, and is Tesla not in line for some good manufacturing credits from the IRA?That's freaking insane that they dropped the price of Model Y by 20%. That is a 13k hit to margins they just took. If auto margins were 30% on 65k wouldn't their profit now be $6.5k which is 12%? Rough calculations.
All except the MYP at the moment, but that's still like 15K or something off the previous MYP price. Raise a beer to the eventual 7 seat MYP.WOW, those price drops are massive! Looks to me like pretty much all of the 3's and Y's now qualify for the IRA? I expected some price drops this year but not this sudden! What a bold move by Tesla, but dang legacy auto must be crying tonight. How can any of them compete or match a flex like this? And how can the government pay out the HUGE amount of tax credits they are about to issue for new Tesla owners?
This will be great for Tesla selling cars, but let's be realistic, this is going to hurt margins for 2023 so this might be bad for TSLA (the stock price).
It will be interesting to see how Wall Street reacts to this in the morning, I'm really not sure which way TSLA will go on this news...
Roadster will have much lower production—easier to set up a line for that.That sounds kind of preposterous to me, we've not heard nor seen any movement on a Roadster production line being built at all. CT line is being built now and it will take 6-8 months to get up and running, IF it goes smoothly. Roadster production line would need to start NOW to have any chance of any Q3 deliveries I'd imagine.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love to see it, I just don't think it's realistic. Early to mid 2024 sounds more likely to me, if even that soon.
From 19.5k profit to 6.5k profit. Tesla would need to produce and sell 3 times as many cars to make the same amount of profit. This is the Toyota argument but in reverse now.Production is constantly increasing though right, and is Tesla not in line for some good manufacturing credits from the IRA?
If the stock responds badly in the short term, that’s what I would call a buying opportunity for the long term.
Not with a big COGS decrease.From 19.5k profit to 6.5k profit. Tesla would need to produce and sell 3 times as many cars to make the same amount of profit. This is the Toyota argument but in reverse now.
