WSJ has a reasonably neutral article on deliveries.
Tesla Deliveries Rose 83% in the Latest Quarter
An interesting comment at the end. Good to have more confirmation that even as buyers know the new vehicle price is dropping compared to what they paid they still prefer the situation to the dealership method.
Tesla Deliveries Rose 83% in the Latest Quarter
An interesting comment at the end. Good to have more confirmation that even as buyers know the new vehicle price is dropping compared to what they paid they still prefer the situation to the dealership method.
Some buyers have been frustrated by Tesla’s recent price cuts, which are more visible than the discounts and sales promotions other car companies heap on.
Paul Gassman paid $60,240 for his Model Y in December, after a $3,750 discount and before taxes and fees. Six months later, that same vehicle would have cost $51,490.
“That is the cost of transparency: You know whether you got a good deal or not,” said Gassman, who owns an enterprise-software company and lives outside Jacksonville, Fla. Still, he said, “I think I’d prefer that than being in the dark and feeling good because I really don’t know what the going rate is.”
