Tesla's Price Drops - Is this a good time to buy?

This site may earn commission on affiliate links.

Tesla recently implemented massive price drops across its product line. We discuss what this means for existing owners, as well as prospective buyers. We also discuss if this is a good time to buy.



This is a clip from Tesla Motors Club Podcast #32. The full podcast video is available here:

 
We discuss what this means for existing owners, as well as prospective buyers. We also discuss if this is a good time to buy.

For first time EV owner, a 20% discount and a $7.5k tax break (if you qualify) is certainly a good deal.

For current Tesala owner, this can be the occasion to get a new updated model, especially if you have a high mileage,
but your trade-in will certainly also be lower than anticipated, especially if your car is less than two years old.

And if you currently have full FSD Autopilot, depending how much you paid for it and for how long,
getting a new version might be a deterrent from getting a new car, especially if the coming v4 might not be upgradable.

Note: To be sure getting the $7.5k tax break, you will need to get your car before (1rst or 31st of) March,
so getting a CPO or Demo is safer than a Web order.

Also, the Tesla price might change in Q2 and also the tax break might be reduced to $3.750 depending on the minerals used for the battery

Paid for my YLR in 2022 with FSD. I only got FSD for resell value and NOW if I sell, it is worth 10-15K less then it was prior to price cuts
